Abstract:
1. An optical module, comprising: an optical transmitting device; an optical receiving device; a circuit board for outer connection; and a flexible substrate on which a part or all of an electronic circuit device group for each of said optical transmitting device and said optical receiving device is mounted to electrically connect each of said optical transmitting device and said optical receiving device to said circuit board for outer connection; said flexible substrate having a first flexible substrate part and a second flexible substrate part which are separated by a slit part that is elongated from an interspace between a connection part of said optical transmitting device and a connection part of said optical receiving device in a longitudinal direction of said flexible substrate, and having a third flexible substrate part which is connected to said circuit board for outer connection; wherein the third flexible substrate part is connected directly or indirectly to the first flexible substrate part and the second flexible substrate part, and said optical module further comprising: a transmitting circuit for said optical transmission device provided at said first flexible substrate part; and an optical receiving circuit for said optical receiving device provided at said second flexible substrate.
