Claim 6:
7. A detection device having a micro controller for compiling signal course and storing signals to determine a threshold value edge point for detection (48) of an edge of an object, the detecting device comprises:
a circuit board comprising:
an emission region having a plurality of light sources arranged along a first straight line in a plane at equal distances apart and having a length extending up to a first end of the emission region,
a receiving region having a plurality of individual readable photodiode regions, the receiving region running adjacent and parallel to the emission region along a second straight line in the plane,
a common sector formed by at least one emission subregion being selected from the emission region and extending up to the end of the emission region and an adjacent parallel at least one receiving subregion being selected from the receiving region, when the at least one emission subregion is activated in the common sector, the receiving subregion in the common sector is simultaneously activated,
the at least one emission subregion having at least one light source, the receiving subregion receives a reflected light from the object as a light signal,
an opaque separator located in a recess on the circuit board,
a multiplex chip located on the circuit board being adapted to control the light sources in the emission subregion and to transmit light from the emission subregions.
