A proximity sensor with a sliced integration time sensing mechanism and a sensing method thereof are provided. A light transmitter emits a sensing light toward a detected object during a first phase time. A light receiver receives a first light signal formed by the sensing light reflected by the detected object and an ambient light during the first phase time, and receives a second light signal of the ambient light during a second phase time. A first brightness of the first light signal is integrated over the first phase time to form a first integrated brightness value. A second brightness of the second light signal is integrated over the second phase time to form a second integrated brightness value. The light receiver subtracts the second integrated brightness value from the first integrated brightness value to obtain a first integrated brightness correction value by phase cancellation.
