Optical communication system

Abstract

An optical communication system includes a first receiving / transmitting module. The first receiving / transmitting module includes a first substrate, a plurality of first light-emitting elements, and a plurality of first light-receiving elements. The first light-emitting elements are disposed on the first substrate. The first light-receiving elements are disposed on the first substrate. At least one first light-emitting element is located between two first light-receiving elements.

Claims

1. An optical communication system, comprising a first receiving / transmitting module and a second receiving / transmitting module, wherein the first receiving / transmitting module comprises: First substrate; Multiple first light-emitting elements are disposed on the first substrate; The second receiving / transmitting module includes: a second substrate; a plurality of second light-emitting elements disposed on the second substrate; and a plurality of second light-receiving elements disposed on the second substrate, wherein at least one of the first light-emitting elements is located between two of the first light-receiving elements.

2. The optical communication system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of first optical receiving elements surround the plurality of first light emitting elements.

3. The optical communication system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the distance between adjacent plurality of first light-emitting elements falls within the range of 40 μm to 100 μm.

4. The optical communication system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the distance between adjacent plurality of first optical receiving elements falls within the range of 80 μm to 200 μm.

5. The optical communication system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the minimum distance between the first light-emitting element and the first light-receiving element falls within the range of 80 μm to 200 μm.

6. The optical communication system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of first light-emitting elements and the plurality of first light-receiving elements are arranged in a checkerboard pattern.
