Patent ID: 7901123

Claim:
A light emitting module for a vehicle lamp, comprising: a board formed in a rectangular shape; a conductive pattern formed on the board; a light emitting portion disposed on the board, the light emitting portion comprising a semiconductor light emitting element; and a pair of plane-shaped electrode portions formed on the board and coupled to the semiconductor light emitting element via the conductive pattern, wherein when directions along which one pair of opposite sides of the board extend are defined as first opposite directions, and directions along which the other pair of opposite sides of the board extend are defined as second opposite directions, both the first opposite directions and the second opposite directions are orthogonal to a thickness direction of the board, the pair of plane-shaped electrode portions are located so as to be separated in the first opposite directions, a center of the semiconductor light emitting element is located at a position shifted from a center of the board in one of the second opposite directions, the pair of plane-shaped electrode portions comprise first end faces that face the one of the second opposite directions and second end faces that face a direction opposite the one of the second opposite directions, the semiconductor light emitting element comprises a first light emitting element end face that faces the one of the second opposite directions and a second light emitting element end face that faces the direction opposite the one of the second opposite directions, the first end faces of the pair of plane-shaped electrode portions are arranged so as not to protrude in the one of the second opposite directions from the first light emitting element end face, and the second end faces of the pair of plane-shaped electrode portions are positioned farther in the direction opposite the one of the second opposite directions than the second light emitting element end face.
