The input device includes a light-emitting module incorporating a light-emitting element connected to light-emitting cores of the optical waveguide, and a light-receiving module incorporating a light-receiving element connected to light-receiving cores of the optical waveguide.

Accordingly, the light-receiving module is also placed upside down. Thus, the light-receiving module protrudes along the height thereof in such a manner that the amount of downward protrusion is less than the amount of upward protrusion.

The input device includes an optical waveguide having a rectangular hollow interior, a light-emitting element connected to the starting end of the light-emitting main core, and a light-receiving element connected to the ending ends of light-receiving cores. The light-receiving element is positioned close to the ending end of the light-emitting main core. A void (an air space) is provided between the ending end of the light-emitting main core and the light-receiving element. The air space causes unwanted light beams leaking through the ending end surface of the light-emitting main core to diffuse, thereby preventing the unwanted light beams from reaching the light-receiving element.
