Claims (1)
- 基板上に1個のフォトセンサと、該フォトセンサを中心とする略同一円上の略等中心角度毎の位置に複数個のLEDと、前記フォトセンサを囲むように前記複数個のLEDの数と同一の数の複数個の貫通孔を設けた第1のマスクとが載設され、
略平板の中央部から延びた棒部を有する導光体の棒部側に、前記導光体の略平板に略平行に遮光性の略平板の一部に光が通過するスリットを設けた第2のマスクが、前記導光体の棒部の端部に開口を有し側壁に複数の貫通孔を設けた第3のマスクが夫々一体化され、
前記夫々のLEDは前記基板面に略垂直な方向と前記基板面に略平行で且つ前記フォトセンサに向かう方向の両方向に光軸を向けて載設され、且つ夫々のLEDは固有の変調コードに基づくパルス点灯で順次時分割点灯し、
前記フォトセンサと前記導光体の棒部端面とを対向させた状態で、
前記導光体が傾斜したときには、傾斜方向の反対方向に載設された前記LEDから出射した光が前記第1のマスクに設けられた貫通孔を通過して前記フォトセンサで検出され、
前記導光体が回転したときには、前記LEDから出射した光が前記第2のマスクに設けられたスリットを通過して前記導光体内に入射し、該導光体内を導光されて前記棒部の端面から出射して前記フォトセンサで検出され、
前記導光体が降下したときには、前記LEDから出射した光が前記第1のマスクに設けられた貫通孔及び第3のマスクに設けられた貫通孔を順次通過して前記フォトセンサで検出されることを特徴とする光学式多入力スイッチ。
