Abstract
To ensure omnidirectional visibility of a proximity sensor with high luminance using a single light emitting element. A proximity sensor () includes a substrate () on which a control unit () is formed and in which a normal direction of the substrate is perpendicular to an axial direction of a coil section (), a light emitting element () which emits light in the axial direction on the substrate, a light diffusion section () which diffuses emitted light in a direction other than the axial direction, and a light guide section () which guides diffused light to a display section () on a side surface.
