Abstract
An optical position detecting device includes: a plurality of detection light source sections which emits a detection light; a light source driving section which turns on a part of the plurality of detection light source sections in a first period, and turns on the other part thereof in a second period; a first light detecting section which detects the detection light reflected by a object; a second light detecting section which has a sensitivity peak in a wavelength band which is different from that of the first light detecting section and detects the detection light reflected by the object; and a position detecting section which detects the position of the object on the basis of the intensity of the detection light in the first light detecting section and the intensity of the detection light in the second light detecting section in the first and second periods.
