In order to accurately input the image or information displayed on the signal output surface to the signal input surface, it is necessary to transmit the optical signal output from each light emitting element to the corresponding light receiving element. However, in the conventional optical signal transmission method that mechanically deflects the optical beam,
Because a signal is input to a non-target photodetector due to an extremely small error in the deflection angle, a deflection mirror equipped with a high-precision drive mechanism must be placed with high precision. Furthermore, since the deflection mirror is mechanically driven when switching the signal input surface, there is a problem in that switching the deflection mirror takes much longer than the required signal transmission speed.
