Patent ID: 8730289

Claim:
A light emission apparatus comprising: a light emission unit including a board having a first electrode, a second electrode connected to the first electrode, and a light source configured to emit a light beam based on an electric signal transmitted from the first electrode to the second electrode; a holding member including a contact portion contacting the light emission unit; a connection member disposed between the board and the holding member and configured to connect the holding member and the board in an elastically deformed state, wherein the connection member includes a connection portion configured to connect the connection member to the holding member and a fastening portion to which the board is fastened with a screw such that the board is held by the connection member and the screw, the connection member is elastically deformed so that a position of the fastening portion in relation to the connection portion is changed by fastening the screw into the fastening portion, and the light emission unit connected to the connection member contacts with the contact portion of the holding member connected to the connection member, by a restoring force generated through the elastic deformation of the connection member; and a pressing member configured to contact the connection member at a position different from the connection portion and to press the contacted connection member toward the holding member.
