Patent ID: 7894691

Claim:
An article of manufacture of an optical waveguide holding member made of a resin material and including a contact surface on a bottom face thereof, which is to be in contact with a printed circuit board; a connection surface on a back face thereof, to which an optical fiber is to be connected; an optical waveguide disposed along a curved surface and connecting the contact surface and the connection surface; and a lens unit disposed at an end of the optical waveguide, wherein a light curing adhesive is applied to part of the contact surface which part is adjacent to the lens unit so that the part of the contact surface is bonded to the printed circuit board, and a two-component mixed adhesive is applied to, along peripheries of the contact surface in contact with the printed circuit board, outer edges of lateral-side peripheries of the contact surface which lateral-side peripheries are adjacent to the lens unit and an outer edge of a back-side periphery of the contact surface which back-side periphery is close to the back face so that the lateral-side peripheries and the back-side periphery of the contact surface are bonded to the printed circuit board.
