Abstract:
A toner detection unit (optical sensor) includes a first light receiving element configured to receive specular reflection light of first irradiating light, and a second light receiving element configured to receive diffused reflection light of second irradiating light, and a separation component configured to separate irradiating light emitted from an LED into the first and second irradiating light. A housing forms a first opening through which the first irradiating light and the second irradiating light pass and the diffused reflection light to be received by the second light receiving element passes, and a second opening through which the specular reflection light to be received by the first light receiving element passes.

Claim (Index 8):
The sensor according to  claim 7 , wherein\n the cover component has a first boundary surface opposing the housing and a second boundary surface on an opposite side of the first boundary surface, and the first light shielding wall has a projection that projects toward the light emitting element and is formed to block light emitted from the light emitting element and reflected by the first boundary surface toward the first light receiving element and the second light receiving element.
