          Appeal No. 1999-1891                                                        
          Application No. 08/421,089                                                  

               The disclosed invention relates to a two element                       
          photocoupler, including an amorphous semiconductor thin film                
          light emitting diode capable of emitting light in response to               
          electrical stimuli and an amorphous semiconductor photovoltaic              
          light detecting means adapted to detect emitted from the thin               
          film light emitting diode.  The light emitting diode comprises              
          a first thin film electrode, a plurality of amorphous                       
          semiconductor thin films, an optically transparent second thin              
          film electrode, and an optically transparent substrate,                     
          arranged in a sandwich type manner.  This arrangement allows                
          for emission of light through the optically transparent                     
          substrate when the light emitting diode is electrically                     
          stimulated.  The photovoltaic light detecting means comprises               
          a first thin film electrode, a plurality of amorphous                       
          semiconductor thin films, an optically transparent second thin              
          film electrode, and an optically transparent substrate,                     
          arranged in a sandwich manner, which also is described having               
          the order listed.  The optically transparent substrates of                  
          both the light emitting diode and the light detecting means                 
          are adapted to face each other with a spatial predetermined
