Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light-emitting element on a light-receiving unit with an increase in size of the light-emitting element being suppressed.SOLUTION: Since a light-emitting unit 112 is provided in a light-emitting element 100, a substrate 80 to which the light-emitting element 100 is provided can be further reduced in size compared to a configuration to additionally provide a light-receiving unit (light-receiving sensor) outside the light-emitting element. Reflection light L1 reflected on an area W where reflection light does not go beyond a critical angle relative to an end face 122A is not emitted from the end face 122A. The light-receiving unit 112 is provided in the area W to measure the amount of light. Accordingly, the amount of light emitted from the end face 122A is not reduced even if the light-receiving unit 112 is provided in the area W.
