Abstract
An optical sensor includes a substrate, a light emitting element, a light receiving element, and an electronic circuit element. Light from the light emitting element is blocked by a detection object to detect the detection object. The light emitting element, the electronic circuit element and the light receiving element are mounted on the same surface of the substrate. The electronic circuit element is disposed between the light emitting element and the light receiving element on a mounting surface of the substrate.
