A coordinate input apparatus includes a first housing and a second housing each of which incorporate at least two sensor units each including one of the light projecting unit and one of the light receiving unit. A pointed position to an effective coordinate input region is calculated based on variations of a light amount distribution obtained from the light receiving units of each of the first and second housings. In each of the first and second housings, the field range of a light receiving unit is almost parallel to the effective coordinate input region, the optical axis direction of the light receiving unit is a direction perpendicular to a line segment connecting the barycenters of at least two sensor units in a single housing, and the field range is set to be asymmetric to the optical axis direction. |
