Abstract
A displacement sensor includes: a detectable portion: including a first coil; and being disposed on a movable member that is displaceable in response to an operation; and a signal generator: including a second coil that opposes the first coil; and being configured to generate a detection signal based on a relative position between the first coil and the second coil. A first distance from a first end of the first coil to a second end of the first coil in a first direction differs from a second distance from a third end of the first coil to a fourth end of the first coil in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction when the first coil is viewed in plan view.
