Abstract
An optical sensor () includes a first switch (SW) and a second switch (SW), these switches are switched between a first step and a second step and thus the coupling of light receiving portions (photodiodes) and three analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is switched. In the first step of the switch, photocurrents generated in a blue light receiving portion (BLUE), a green light receiving portion (GREEN) and a red light receiving portion (RED) are processed in real time. In the second step, photocurrents generated in an infrared light receiving portion (Ir), an environmental light receiving portion (CLEAR) and the green light receiving portion (GREEN) are processed. The photocurrents of the infrared light receiving portion (Ir) and the environmental light receiving portion (CLEAR) generated in the first step are calculated from a ratio of the two photocurrents measured in the green light receiving portion (GREEN).
