Abstract: A photo detector IC (PDIC) is connected with a flexible printed circuit board (FPC). A signal converted into a voltage through light-to-voltage conversion in the PDIC is connected with the drain of a field effect transistor (FET), while the source of the FET is connected to an output terminal.
