Light-emitting device for automatic focus adjustment apparatus

摘要

In an automatic focus adjustment apparatus with a light-emitting device comprising a condenser lens and a light-emitting element which radiates light onto an object and adjusts the focal point according to a light reflected back from the object, undesired flare is eliminated by placing a diaphragm sufficiently close to the light-emitting element so that only the effective light from the element passes to the condenser lens by using a cap, an opaque paint or a spatial filter, and/or by applying a low reflectance paint to the inner wall of an outer casing of the light-emitting device.
