    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to transmit and output the uneven pattern of the surface of a body, which is brought into contact with an input end surface, with high contrast by providing a core and a light absorber, and slanting the input end surface to the axis of the core. SOLUTION: The end surface 25a of each core 32 does not cross the axis at right angles, but slants at a specific angle to the axis. Light beams 72a and 73a which are transmitted through a finger 80 and projected from a recessed part 82 to travel in a gap 83 as to the light 87 from a light source 86 are transmitted through an end surface 35a to enter the core 32. Refracted light beams 72b and 73b of those light beams 72a and 73a travel in the core 32 in directions off the axial direction of the core 32 and are attenuated or removed by the light absorber 34. In the area where a projection part 81 of a fingerprint and the end surface 35a of the core are close to each other, the refractive index of the finger 80 is larger than that of air, so the relation between the incidence angle and refraction angle of the light reaching the end surface 35a by passing through the projection part 81 of the finger 80 as to the light from 87 from the finger 86 changes from the relation in a noncontact area.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the emitting characteristic of light by making a 2nd plate have larger numerical aperture than a 1st plate and splicing the incident surface thereof with the emitting surface of the 1st plate. SOLUTION: The 1st plate 2 is obtained by bundling and integrating plural optical fibers 21 turned in the same direction, and has the incident surface 22 and the emitting surface 23 formed obliquely to the optical axis direction thereof. Meanwhile, the 2nd plate 3 similarly has the incident surface 32 and the emitting surface 33 formed obliquely to the optical axis direction of plural optical fibers 31. The 2nd plate 3 has the larger numerical aperture than the 1st plate 2. Namely, the optical fiber having the larger numerical aperture than that of the optical fiber 21 of the 1st plate 2 is used as the optical fiber 31 of the 2nd plate 3. Thus, the light is easily made incident on the 2nd plate 3 from the 1st plate 2, and the emitting angle of the light emitted from the emitting surface 33 of the 2nd plate 3 becomes wide.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a new optical type light switch having the function equal to an electrostatic switch. CONSTITUTION:A phototransistor 20 is arranged on the output end surface of a fiber optical plate l to constitute a light switch. The fiber optical plate 1 is constituted so as to cover the outer circumferential part of a clad covering a cover with an absorbing body, and the inclination theta of an input end surface 2 is set to an angle such that the light incident to the core from the air never cause total reflection on the boundary surface with the clad. Thus, only the light incident from the part making contact with a finger 22 is propagated to the output end surface 3.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fiber optical plate which outputs a bright rugged image, is easily attached to a photodetector and is compact even after it is attached. SOLUTION: In this fiber optical plate, recessed parts 20 are provided on ends which are located on the side of input end planes 2 of the fiber optical plate between both ends of unit fibers 6, and light is made incident through the side planes 22 of the parts 20. Because the planes 22 are inclined at angles that can eliminate diffused external light in the air, this fiber optical plate outputs a rugged image that has high contrast. Because the fiber optical plate has an output edge plane 4 that is perpendicular to an axis line 14 of the unit fibers, a bright rugged image is acquired when the plane 4 is matched to an input plane of the photodetector and fixed. Also, it has a shape that perpendicularly extends from the plane 4, it is easily attached to a photodetector and is compact after the attachment.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce light loss in splicing plates by providing a 2nd plate which has an incident surface and an emitting surface nearly orthogonally crossed with the optical axis of an optical fiber and whose incident surface is spliced with the emitting surface of the 1st plate. SOLUTION: The 1st plate 2 is obtained by bundling and integrating plural optical fibers 21 turned in the same direction, and has the incident surface 22 and the emitting surface 23 formed obliquely to the optical axis direction of the optical fiber 21. Meanwhile, the 2nd plate 3 is obtained by bundling and integrating plural optical fibers 31 turned in the same direction, and has the incident surface 32 and the emitting surface 33 formed nearly perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the optical fiber 31. Thus, the light made incident on the 1st plate is surely emitted from the emitting surface 23 formed obliquely and made incident on the 2nd plate. Therefore, the light loss at the spliced part of the 1st and the 2nd plates is reduced.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a touch face flat and also to make the whole device thinner even in the case of constituting a touch sensor by using a fiber optical plate. SOLUTION: The numerical aperture of an incident end plane of a slant FOP 20 is set larger than the numerical aperture of the exiting end plane of a slant FOP 10, then, the light emitted from the slant FOP 10 is efficiently made incident on the slant FOP 20. A detection surface 11 and an output end plane 32 are arranged so as to have a positional relation of orthogonally crossing each other, thus, the detection surface 11 is formed at the same level as the touch surface F. Besides, a detection element such as a CCD 50, etc., is arranged at the output end plane 32 along the rear side of the touch surface F.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a compact radiation image detector by providing a solid- state image sensing device so that the plane of incidence of light is opposed to the light output end face, and by lessening the length in the direction of incidence of light of an optical fiber plate. CONSTITUTION:CCD 2 is provided on the light output end face of an optical fiber plate 3 having the light output end face and light incidence end face 31 which intersect the direction of waveguide of light respectively and are orthogonal substantially to each other. Since the end face 31 is coated with a material having a scintillation function, the light generated by a radiation falling on the end face 31 is propagated in the direction of waveguide of the light and, therefore, it is emitted from the light output end face and cast on the plane of incidence of light of the CCD 2. Since the plane of incidence of light of the CCD 2 and the end face 31 are orthogonal substantially to each other, the radiation falling vertically substantially on the end face 31 advances straight in parallel practically to the plane of incidence of light of the CCD 2 and, therefore, the radiation does not fall on the plane of incidence of light of the CCD 2. Besides, the radiation is not guided either by the plate 3 coupling the plane of incidence of light of the CCD 2 with the end face 31 optically.
