Abstract

A multi-directional optocoupler includes an assembly substrate (11), an emitter (20) coupled to a first region of the assembly substrate (11), a different emitter (21) coupled to a second region of the assembly substrate (11), a detector (23) coupled to a third region of the assembly substrate (11), a different detector (22) coupled to a fourth region of the assembly substrate (11), a light transmissive region (24) coupling the emitter (20) and the detector (23) wherein the emitter (20) and the detector (23) are configured to transmit and receive a first signal in a direction (26), and a different light transmissive region (25) coupling the different emitter (21) and the different detector (22) wherein the different emitter (21) and the different detector (22) are configured to transmit and receive a second signal in a different direction (27).
