Abstract
An optical communication device includes a circuit board, a light-emitting element, a light-receiving element, and a planar light guide circuit. The circuit board includes an upper mounting surface. The upper mounting surface defines a groove. The groove includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first and the second inclined surfaces are slanted relative to a bottom surface of the groove and connected between the upper mounting surface and the bottom surface. A reflection layer is coated on the first and second inclined surfaces. The light-emitting element includes a light emergent surface, and the light-receiving element includes a light incident surface. The light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are mounted on the upper mounting surface. The planar light guide circuit is received in the groove. Two ends of the planar light guide circuit face reflection layers of the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, respectively.
