Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the position of a plate-like substance widely by obtaining a signal proportional to a position on the basis of a difference signal between the outputs of two photodetecting elements, connecting one or more photodetecting elements to said photodetectors and combining these signals. CONSTITUTION:The projected image of a linear mark written in paper or the like is formed on photoelectric elements 10-12 by a light source 8. The outputs of the elements 10-12 are amplified by amplifiers 13-15 and outputted as output voltages e1-e3. The voltages e1, e2 are inputted to an operational amplifier 15; and outputted as an output e0. Then, the maximum value eM between the voltages e1, e2 is obtained by a maximum value circuit 16. The difference eS between the voltage eC and the output of the circuit 16 is found out by an operational amplifier 16; and compared with a comparing voltage eC by a comparator 17 and the inverted voltage -eH of the output eH of the comparator 17 is found out by a code converter 18. Even if the deviation between the center of the elements 10, 11 and the center of the linear mark is comparatively larger than the size of the elements 10-12, positive and negative position output voltages are obtained through a signal processing circuit and the operating range can be expanded.
