Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of optical transmission by forming a reflecting curved surface for reflecting beams emitted from a light-emitting device to a transparent resin body and focussing beams to a photodetector and forming a non-translucent resin body coating the transparent resin body by a white resin. CONSTITUTION:A pair of a light-emitting device 3 and a photodetector 4 are placed on each of inner leads 2 connected to outer leads 1, and held so as to be opposed at a regular interval on the same axis. A transparent resin body 6 is shaped by injection-molding a translucent epoxy resin so as to have a reflecting curved surface 5 reflecting beams emitted from the light-emitting device 3 and focussing beams to the photodetector 4 and unify the light-emitting device 3 and the photodetector 4. The whole surface of the transparent resin body 6 is coated and molded and sealed with a non-translucent resin body 7 of a white epoxy resin having a thermal expansion coefficient approximately the same as the transparent resin body 6 and containing titanium oxide. The central sections of the transparent resin body 6 and the non- translucent resin body 7 are cut to form a shield inserting groove 8 while the transparent resin bodies 6 into which the light-emitting device 3 and the photodetector 4 are sealed respectively are separated mutually. Accordingly, a photo-interrupter having the high efficiency of optical transmission is acquired.

In the conventional photointerrupter described above, most of the light emitted from the light emitting element is absorbed or reflected at the interface between the transparent resin body and the opaque resin body, except that the light is directly incident on the light receiving element. Because the light does not reach the element and the transmission efficiency of light is low,
When operated as a sensor, the signal-to-noise ratio is small and circuit design becomes difficult.
