<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-cost humidity detecting device and an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The humidity detecting device comprises: fibers which change in shape in response to humidity; an LED which is a light emitting element; and a PD which is a light receiving element. The humidity is detected by measuring changes in intensity of light beams one of which is reflected by the fibers, and the other of which passes through the fibers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
