OPTICAL BUS TRANSMISSION STRUCTURE

摘要

PURPOSE:To transmit a signal between electronic parts mounted on a substrate or a package or between circuits by propagating an optical signal into a light transparent dielectric planar object provided adjacently to the electronic parts or the like. CONSTITUTION:This structure is composed of electric/optic converters 3 (31-33) electrically connected to the plural electornic parts or circuits consisting of an integrated circuit for generating optical signals from electric signals as means for exchanging the signals between the electronic parts or circuits or optic/electric converters 4 (41-43) for receiving the optical signals and generating the electric signals and a light transparent dielectric planar object 8 arranged adjacently to the light transmission terminal parts of the electric/optic converters 3 or the light reception terminal parts of the optic/electric converters 4. Further, means such as cone-shaped recessed parts 9 and projecting parts 10 for transmitting the optical signals are provided at positions corresponding to the light transmission terminal parts of the electric/optic converters 3 or the light reception terminal parts of the optic/electric converters 4 on the light transparent dielectric planar object 8.
