When a long illuminant module is constructed, debonding of a bonded
interface or bending occurs due to a difference in a magnitude of thermal
deformation between a lens material and a metal substrate. In an
illuminant module including light emitting elements, a substrate on which
the light emitting elements are mounted, a transparent encapsulating
resin which encapsulates the light emitting elements, and a lens material
having cavities formed therein, in which the respective light emitting
elements and transparent encapsulating resin are stored, notches are
formed in a surface of the lens material on the side of the substrate,
and the notch surfaces of the notches and the surface of the substrate
are bonded using a bonding material.
