The amount of the light emitted from a light-emitting diode is changed from that of the initial condition to increase, among the light sensors that are not shielded from the light emitted from the light-emitting diode, the number of the light sensors at which the difference (C−D) between the light detection amount at the light sensor when the light-emitting diode is ON and the light detection amount at the light sensor when the light-emitting diode is OFF is equal to the difference (A−B) between the light detection amount at the light sensor in the initial condition when the light-emitting diode was ON and the light detection amount at the light sensors in the initial condition when the light-emitting diode was OFF with no detection object present. As a result, regardless of the presence or absence of the detection object, the coordinate sensor and the display device disclosed can establish a threshold for determining the presence or absence of the detection object, and can also determine the coordinates of the detection object in a stable manner regardless of changes in the ambient environmental light or in the ambient environmental temperature, or fluctuations in the amount of light emitted from the light-emitting element disposed in the coordinate sensor or the change in the sensitivity of the light-receiving elements. |
