  • LIGHT EMITTING AND RECEIVING MODULE WITH SNOW MELTING HEATER
    Publication number: 20220146086
    Abstract: A light emitting and receiving module with heater is provided, which includes a base material. A light emitting and receiving element is disposed on the base material and performs at least one of light reception and light emission. A heater film includes an electrode formed on a base sheet. The heater film is formed so as to cover the light emitting and receiving element. A capacitance detection unit electrically connected to the electrode detects a floating capacitance between the light emitting and receiving element and the heater film. A power source electrically connected to the electrode heats the heater film. A control board switches the connection with the electrode between the capacitance detection unit and the power source.
