Therefore, even if the photodiode 62b is irradiated with light of any intensity, the voltage at the node netA varies before the sensor output voltage Vo is read. It is possible to avoid that the light irradiation becomes a noise that fluctuates the voltage VnetA for the pressing detection operation without passing through the floating period during which the voltage is easily received.
- the timing setting is easy.
- the pressure is detected immediately after resetting, noise due to light irradiation does not become a problem, but the period of the reset pulse Prw can be shortened, so that the forward conduction of the photodiode 62b during the reset period is thereby reduced. Noise due to light irradiation with respect to the state can be minimized. Accordingly, it is possible to further increase the detection accuracy of the press.
