Provided is an adhesive for use in an ultraviolet-light-emitting device using ultraviolet light having a wavelength of from 200 to 400 nm as a light source, which can attach adherends made of a polymer having a fluorine-containing alicyclic structure with excellent adhesiveness which is unlikely to be impaired by exposure to such ultraviolet light or heat.An adhesive for forming an adhesive joint in an ultraviolet-light-emitting device, which is either the following adhesive (A) or the following adhesive (B) comprising a fluoropolymer having a fluorine-containing alicyclic structure: the adhesive (A): an adhesive in which the glass transition temperature of the fluoropolymer is from 30 to 100° C., and which does not contain an ultraviolet-shielding agent; and the adhesive (B): an adhesive comprising the fluoropolymer and an ultraviolet-shielding agent.
