Abstract
An optical waveguide film of an optical reception and transmission module guides light. A first optical path converting part of an optical transmission unit guides light. A mirror surface of a first optical path converting part bends light which is emitted from a light emitting element and which enters the first optical path converting part. A first holding member holds the light emitting element and the first optical path converting part. A second optical path converting part of an optical reception unit guides light. A mirror surface of a second optical path converting part bends the guided light. A second holding member holds the light receiving element and the second optical path converting part. A first supporting member supports the first end portion of the optical waveguide film. A second supporting member supports the second end portion of the optical waveguide film.
