Abstract

PURPOSE:To transduce displacement at low cost with simple constitution by providing a light shield plate between a photodetection body and a light emission source, and detecting displacement from relative displacement between the photodetection body and light emission source, and light shield plate as a digital value. CONSTITUTION:The light shiled plate 4 is provided between a CCD1 forming the photodetection body and the light emission source 2. Both the bodies are fitted in a pair to a fitting base 3 so that light from the light emission source 2 illuminates the entire surface of the CCD1. Then, displacement is detected as a digital value from the relative displacement between the photodetection body and light emission source 2, and light shield plate 4. Namely, the light shield plate 4 is triangular and its operating piece 41 is formed in a linear function shape. The positions of the CCd1 and light shield plate 4 are so related that the origin of a movable body is an initial position. Therefore, when the movable body moves, the light shield body 4 moves and the light illuminating the CCD1 is cut off by the operating piece 41 and the output of the CCD1 is outputted as a digital value easily at low cost.
