  • Publication number: 20230314558
    Abstract: A vehicle exterior component includes a cover, a housing, and a substrate. The cover is configured to arranged forward of a radar device in an emission direction of electromagnetic waves. The housing covers a rear surface of the cover. The substrate is arranged in the housing. The substrate includes a light emitting unit configured to emit visible light. The cover forms an angle in a range of 0° to 5° with respect to an orthogonal plane that is orthogonal to the emission direction. The rear wall of the housing faces the cover in the emission direction and forms an angle in a range of 2° to 10° with respect to the orthogonal plane.

  • Patent number: 8816322
    Abstract: The present invention provides a Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device which is intended to relax stress applied to a light-emitting layer. The light-emitting device includes an MQW layer, and an n-side superlattice layer formed below the MQW layer. The n-side superlattice layer is formed by repeatedly depositing layer units, each unit including an InGaN layer, a GaN layer, and an n-GaN layer which are sequentially deposited from the side of the sapphire substrate. In the n-side superlattice layer, an InGaN layer more proximal to the MQW layer has a higher In compositional proportion. The In compositional proportion of the InGaN layer (which is most proximal to the MQW layer) of the n-side superlattice layer is 70% to 100% of the In compositional proportion of the InGaN layer (which is most proximal to the n-side superlattice layer) of the MQW layer.
