OPTICAL POSITION DETECTION APPARATUS

摘要

This invention is to provide an optical position detection apparatus includes a retroreflective member (10) and a detection unit (20). The retroreflective member is disposed so as to cover the periphery of the detection area. The detection unit is disposed at one portion of the periphery of the detection area and detects a pointing position of the pointer by using reflection light reflected from the retroreflective member. The detection unit includes two detection sections (21) each having a light source section and a camera section. The light source section has an irradiation angle wide enough to irradiate the entire detection area with light. The camera section includes a super-wide-angle lens and an image sensor, is disposed close to the light source section, and has a viewing angle wide enough to image the entire detection area. The two detection sections are arranged such that the distance therebetween is smaller than the width of the detection area as viewed in the direction from the detection unit toward the detection area.
