Optical device, method for fabricating optical device, cap component, and method for forming cap component

摘要

An optical device includes a copper plate, light receiving elements mounted on the copper plate, a light emitting element mounted on the light receiving elements, a flexible substrate bent to cover portions of upper and side surfaces of the copper plate, and a positioning frame of metal for fixing the flexible substrate and the copper plate to each other. Since the positioning frame secures the flexible substrate and the copper plate against movement, a thin optical device can be attained without employing a resin-molded construction.
