  • Publication number: 20200373739
    Abstract: The embodiment relates to a light-emitting device in which a positional relationship between a modified refractive index region's gravity-center position and the associated lattice point differs from a conventional device, and a production method. In this device, a stacked body including a light-emitting portion and a phase modulation layer optically coupled to the light-emitting portion is on a substrate. The phase modulation layer includes a base layer and plural modified refractive index regions in the base layer. Each modified refractive index region's gravity-center position locates on a virtual straight line passing through a corresponding reference lattice point among lattice points of a virtual square lattice on the base layer's design plane. A distance between the reference lattice point and the modified refractive index region's gravity center along the virtual straight line is individually set such that this device outputs light forming an optical image.
