  • Publication number: 20250164611
    Abstract: An optical radar device, a light source structure and the assembly process thereof are provided. The light source structure includes a light source module, a circuit board, a cover and a beam adjusting module. The light source module includes a substrate that includes a bearing surface, and a light source element that is disposed on the bearing surface and includes light emitting units. Each light emitting unit includes a light emitting portion. The light source module is disposed on the circuit board. The cover, disposed on the circuit board to cover the light source module, is a continuous piece and includes a light permeable portion that is disposed to face the light permeable portion. The beam adjusting module is disposed close to the light permeable portion. Light emitted from the light emitting portion passes through the light permeable portion and the beam adjusting module to form a working light beam.
