Abstract
A photosensor includes an emitter element, an emitter-encapsulating portion, a receiver element, a receiver-encapsulating portion, a circuit portion, and a circuit-encapsulating portion. The emitter-encapsulating portion encapsulates the emitter element. The receiver-encapsulating portion encapsulates the receiver element. The circuit portion includes a luminous element for indicating an operation. The circuit-encapsulating portion encapsulates the circuit portion. The circuit-encapsulating portion includes an operation indicator portion facing the luminous element. The emitter-encapsulating portion, the receiver-encapsulating portion, and the circuit-encapsulating portion are connected to one another with a conductive leadframe. The emitter-encapsulating portion, the receiver-encapsulating portion, and the circuit-encapsulating portion are formed from the same resin material containing a light diffusing agent.
