Abstract
An area-variable type capacitive displacement sensor includes: a stationary element; a movable element; an elastic member for providing a force biasing one of the stationary element and the movable member towards a remaining one thereof in a direction perpendicular to a driving direction so that the stationary element and the movable member are maintained in close contact with each other; a power supply; and a signal detecting circuit. The sensor further includes a guide means for correcting an initial alignment error and reducing an operation alignment error between the stationary element and the movable element.
