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 23):
The apparatus according to  claim 21 , wherein based on at least one of the signal output from the first light receiving element when the image formed on the image carrier passes through the first region irradiated with the first irradiating light and the signal output from the second light receiving element when the image formed on the image carrier passes through the second region irradiated with the second irradiating light, the control unit detects a density of the image and executes image density control based on the detected density of the image.
