ABSTRACT:
Provided are an optical module and an input apparatus having the same. The input apparatus includes the optical module having a circuit board provided with a light source and a sensor installed therein, a lens disposed at one side of the circuit board, and a support bracket disposed at the other side of the circuit board; and a main body having a through-hole at its one side and into which the lens of the optical module is inserted. Therefore, it is possible to uniformly maintain the height of the sensor for receiving light based on the thickness of the lens to maintain a certain depth of focus.
