Abstract: The package structure having packaged components within includes a circuit board, multiple packaged light detecting components mounted on the circuit board, a sealing cap being light transmittable, multiple light filtering films mounted on the sealing cap, and a supporting annular wall. The two opposite ends of the supporting annular wall are adhesively bonded to the surfaces of the circuit board and the sealing cap, such that the projection on the circuit board of the light filtering films corresponds the packaged light detecting components. Since the light filtering films have different filtering frequency bands, each packaged light detecting component detects light of different frequency bands in one incident light beam. The package method is simple and stable, effectively lowering the manufacture cost of the light detecting module.
