  • a printed circuit board;

    a transparent driver and a transparent processor both received within and electrically connected to the printed circuit board by a flip-flop technology;

    a light emitter and a light receiver mounted to and electrically connected to the driver and the processor respectively by the flip-flop technology; and

    a planar waveguide attached to a side of the printed circuit board opposite to the light emitter and the light receiver;

    wherein the driver drives the light emitter to emit light according to input signals, which is directed to the light receiver through the driver, the planar waveguide, and the processor, the light receiver converts the light into electrical signals, and the processor processes the electrical signals to obtain the input signals.
