[Prior Art] The touch screen replaces the mechanical button operation by directly touching the object or finger on the screen. The optical touch technology applied to the touch screen is very extensive. It uses the light source to receive the interrupting principle. When the light is blocked, the blocked position can be detected and the precise position can be determined. As shown in the first to third figures, the conventional optical touch device 500 includes a glass substrate 501, an infrared generator 5〇 placed on the glass substrate 501, a reflective strip 503, and an inductor 504 for sensing infrared rays. . The sensor 5〇4 is placed on the glass substrate 501. The infrared ray generator 〇2 is placed above the inductor 504. Usually, at least two reflective strips 503 are provided on the left and lower edges of the glass substrate 501, respectively. Light is emitted through the infrared ray generator 5 〇 2 and reflected by the reflective strip 503 to form the touch area 5 〇 5 . When a finger or other indicator touches the touch area 505 to block the light, the sensor 504 φ detects the relative position of the finger or the pointer in the touch area 505, thereby completing the manipulation. - However, as electronic consumers are increasingly demanding thin and light sizes, the traditional optical touch device 500 is bulky and cannot meet the needs of consumers. Referring again to the second figure, since the sensor 504 is directly disposed on the glass substrate 501, and the infrared ray generator 502 is also directly disposed on the inductor 504, the overall height/thickness of the optical touch device 500 is increased, thereby being disadvantageous for the product. Competitiveness. [New Content] 3 M420769 The purpose of this creation is to provide an optical touch device that is simple in structure, light and compact, and suitable for the above-mentioned conventional technology. In order to achieve the above object, the optical touch device provided by the present invention comprises: a substrate, a touch area is formed on the substrate, and a chamfer is formed at at least one corner of the base plate; at least an i-sensor component is disposed on the chamfer of the substrate. The sensing component comprises: 70 sensing elements and at least one first reflecting component disposed at the periphery of the touch area for reflecting light emitted from the light emitting component to the touch area, and at least one second reflective An element is disposed above the sensing element for guiding light reflected by the first light reflecting element to the sensing element. As described above, the optical touch device of the present invention forms a chamfer at the corner of the substrate, and then the sensing component including the light-emitting element and the sensing element is disposed at the side of the chamfer of the substrate, so that the optical touch device is The overall height is not increased by the sensing components. Therefore, the optical touch device of the present invention is compact, light and thin, and is more suitable for the development of thin and small-sized electronic products. [Embodiment] The technical contents, structural features, objects and effects achieved by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. Referring to the fourth figure, the optical touch device of the present invention includes a substrate 1 〇 a sensing component 2 including a light-emitting element 210 and a sensing element 220, and a first light-reflecting element 3 〇a for guiding light emitted by the light-emitting element. 3〇b, 3〇c, and a second retroreflective element 4〇 for reflecting light to the sensing assembly 20.

In this embodiment, the light-emitting 7G device 210 is an infrared LED, and the sensing element 22 is configured to sense infrared rays emitted by a finger or an object touching the touch area. In order to secure a sufficient effective touch space, a strip-shaped first light reflecting element 30a, 30b, 30c is provided on the left side, the right side, and the lower side of the substrate 1 。, respectively. Specifically, the three first light reflecting elements 30a to 30c are directly disposed on the substrate 10, and the first light reflecting elements 3〇b are perpendicular to the other two first light reflecting elements 3a and 30c, respectively. As described above, each of the sensing components 20 includes the light emitting elements 21A and the sensing elements 220. Specifically, as shown in the fourth to sixth figures, the top of the body of the sensing unit 2〇 and the top of the substrate 10 Located in the same plane, that is, the thickness of the body of the sensing unit 2 is the same as the thickness of the substrate 10, so that the sensing unit 20 is fixed to the chamfered side of the corner of the substrate 10 without increasing the height of the entire device. The light emitted from the light-emitting element 210 on the left side of the chamfer can cover the first and lower side of the first light-reflecting elements 30b, 30c, and the light emitted from the light-emitting element 21 on the right side of the chamfer can cover the left and the lower side. A light reflecting element 3〇a, 3〇b.

In this embodiment, the inclination of the second light reflecting element 40 is 45. . When the light-emitting element 210 emits light to the touch area, the light is incident on the corresponding first light-reflecting elements 30a to 30c through the touch area, and is reflected by the first light-reflecting elements 3a to 3〇c to the second Reflective element 40. The second light reflecting element 4 receives the light reflected by the first reflecting elements 30a to 30c and reflects it into the sensing element 22, whereby the sensing element 220 receives the light. As shown in the seventh figure, when a finger or other object touches the touch area, part of the light reflected by the first light reflecting elements 30a to 30c to the touch area is blocked. At this time, the sensing element 220 may be partially light. The M420769 is located at the relative position of the touch area, and then the external control device connected to the optical touch device 1 performs the manipulation. In summary, the optical touch device 1 of the present invention forms a chamfer at a corner of the substrate 10, and then the sensing assembly 20 including the light-emitting element 210 and the sensing element 220 is disposed on the chamfered side of the substrate 1 Therefore, the overall height of the optical touch device 1 is not increased by the sensing assembly 20. Therefore, the light-drying touch device 1 of the present invention is compact, light and thin, and is more suitable for the development of thin, small-sized electronic products.
