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 1):
An optical sensor comprising:\n a light emitting element configured to emit irradiating light with which an irradiated member is irradiated; a separation component configured to separate the irradiating light into first irradiating light and second irradiating light; a first light receiving element configured to receive specular reflection light specularly reflected by the irradiated member when irradiation with the first irradiating light is performed; a second light receiving element configured to receive diffused reflection light diffusely reflected by the irradiated member when irradiation with the second irradiating light is performed; and a housing configured to form 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.
