Abstract

PURPOSE:To constitute a sensor with simple structure at low cost by arranging a light emitting element pellet and a photodetecting element pellet adjacently on the same substrate. CONSTITUTION:The light emitting element pellet 32 and photodetecting element pellet 33 are mounted adjacently on the substrate 31. Further, they are wire- bonded with a metallic wire. Then, both pellet parts are coated with resin to improve environmental resistance. Then, holes are bored in the substrates 31 corresponding to projections 341 of a jacket case 34 made of thermoplastic resin and the projections 341 are inserted and fused or crushed to fix the case 34 and substrate 31. Thus, the sensor of the simple structure is manufactured at low cost. Further, a partition plate 35 which cuts off light is provided between the light emitting element pellet 32 and photodetecting element pellet 33 to prevent light from leaking laterally from the photodetecting element pellet 32, thereby improving the S/N ratio.

Problems with the Conventional Figure 1 shows a conventional light reflection type sensor. In conventional light reflective sensors, the light emitting surface and the light receiving surface are not on the same plane, but are positioned at different angles. For this reason, its structure is complex,
Manufacturing costs were high. That is, the structure was such that a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element were separately sealed in resin and assembled into a case. Therefore, for manufacturing, first of all,
The light-emitting element pellet and the light-receiving element pellet are mounted separately, wire-bonded, and then sealed in resin to create a completely separate light-emitting element and light-receiving element.Then, the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are assembled in a case to create a light reflective sensor. had been completed.

Therefore, the light reflection type sensor having the conventional structure has the disadvantage of high cost. In other words, since the light emitting element and the light receiving element are assembled separately, the cost for one light emitting element and the cost for one light receiving element are required, and even in the process of assembling the pixel element into the case, The cost of installing two elements was required because they were installed separately. Even though a light reflection type sensor with a conventional structure uses a light emitting element and a light receiving element as a set, the light emitting element and the light receiving element are assembled completely separately, so there is no advantage of using them as a set in terms of manufacturing costs. It was reflected in the structure.
