Self-luminous sensor device

Abstract

A light-emitting sensor device includes: a substrate (110); and disposed thereon an irradiating part (120) for applying light to a specimen; a light receiving part (160) for detecting light from the specimen caused by the applied light; and a cap, which has (i) a main body for accommodating at least one of the irradiating part and the light receiving part and (ii) a reflective light shielding film (252) which is one portion of a surface of the main body, which is formed on an inclined surface inclined to a surface of the substrate, which reflects the light emitted from the irradiating part to go to the specimen, and which blocks incidence of the light emitted from the irradiating part to the light receiving part. The light-emitting sensor device is suitable for mass production, and enables highly accurate detection of a predetermined type of information on a specimen.
