Disclosed is an optical connection structure of half-duplex transmission type and an optical device suitable for the same. The optical connection structure of half-duplex type comprises two or more signal transmitting/receiving units, which are interconnected through an optical waveguide, wherein each of the signal transmitting/receiving units comprises an optical device having a light source for producing and emitting optical signals to the outside through an opening, and a photodetector for receiving the optical signals incident thereto and converting the optical signals into electric signals, the light source and the photodetector being integrated with each other; and a control unit, which in the signal transmitting mode, drives the light source, so that the corresponding signal transmitting/receiving unit functions as a light source, and in the signal receiving mode, drives the photodetector, so that the corresponding signal transmitting/receiving unit functions as a photodetector.
