Abstract
An optical position detecting device includes: a plurality of detection light source sections which includes a first light emitting element which emits a first detection light and a second light emitting element which is turned on at a timing different from a timing when the first light emitting element is turned on and emits a second detection light having a peak wavelength different from that of the first detection light; a light source driving section which turns on a part of the plurality of detection light source sections, and turns on the other part thereof; a light detecting section which detects the first detection light and the second detection light reflected by a object; and a position detecting section which detects the position of the object on the basis of the intensity of the first detection light and the intensity of the second detection light in the light detecting section.
