煩雑な作業で現実的でない。However, in recent years, as the size of OA equipment has been reduced, the size of an object detected by such a reflection type optical coupler or the location of detection has been reduced, and therefore, the reflection type light has been reduced. Although the coupler is required to be small, the light-shielding partition is made of a resin molded product or a metal plate, but if the partition is made thin, not only the processing of the partition and resin is difficult, but also the light-shielding property deteriorates and a detection error occurs. Became. On the other hand, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 58-148954, a through hole is provided in the center of the light receiving element, the inner surface thereof is inclined, and a reflection coating is further provided on the inclined inner surface. There is one in which a short light emitting element is arranged in a hole. The light of the short light emitting element is reflected by the inclined inner surface, reflected by the object to be detected, and incident on the surrounding light receiving element. However, in order to increase the sensitivity of the light receiving element, it is necessary to form a light receiving surface on the entire periphery of the light emitting element to increase the light receiving area. Therefore, the light emitting section and the light receiving section are arranged in a straight line. The direction cannot be detected. Above all, it is not easy to provide a through hole in the light receiving element itself. However, it is extremely complicated and impractical to incline the inner surface and further provide a reflective coating.

る。The light-emitting element 1 and the light-receiving element 2 are mounted on the same surface of a common lead 31 and lead wires 32,
33 is provided with wiring by a wire bonding method or the like. The light emitting element 1 and the light receiving element 2 may be mounted on different lead wires depending on their polarities, but it is preferable that both elements are disposed close to the light emitting element on substantially the same surface. This is because the semiconductor substrate on the side surface of the light receiving element 2 not only has an effect of preventing light emitted from the light emitting element from directly reaching the light receiving surface, but also has an effect of preventing unnecessary expansion of a light beam. These elements and wirings are molded into a predetermined shape with a light-shielding substrate resin 41 and a light-transmitting resin 42 as necessary.

よい。In the above description, since the light emitting element is located at a position lower than the surface of the light emitting element, it is sufficient that the position of the light emitting element is lower than the surface of the light receiving element. Since the semiconductor portion on the side shows optical transparency, the surface of the light emitting element is preferably thinner than the light receiving element. The light receiving element is not limited to the PIN photodiode described above, but may be a phototransistor or the like.
