Abstract

Disclosed is an ultra thin optical scanning device for a portable information device, which includes an LED as a light source and totally reflects light from an object-side surface to form an image, thereby increasing a contrast ratio of the image and improving the resolution thereof. The ultra thin optical scanning device includes a light emitting device that emits light for sensing an object, an object-side surface contacting the object and totally reflecting the light emitted from the light emitting device, an image formation part collecting the light totally reflected by the object-side surface, and transmitting the light, and a light receiver part forming an image by using the light transmitted by the image formation part.
