Abstract
An object detection device includes a first substrate with a laser diode thereon; a second substrate with a photodiode thereon; a holding member holding the first and second substrates; an optical deflector deflecting light projected from the LD to irradiate a target with the deflected light, and deflects light reflected off the target; and a reflecting mirror guiding the reflected light deflected by the optical deflector to the PD. The LD is mounted on a mounting surface of the first substrate to project light mainly in a direction parallel to the mounting surface. The PD is mounted on a mounting surface of the second substrate to receive light coming mainly in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface. The holding member parallelly holds the first and second substrates such that projection planes of the first and second substrates perpendicular to the mounting surfaces overlap each other.
