An optical encoder includes a controller electrically connected to an optical sensor to discriminate displacement information of a glass disc. The controller comprises a pair of analog amplifiers for amplifying quadrature periodical output signals of the optical sensor, a pair of A/D converters electrically connected to the analog amplifiers for digitalizing the output of the analog amplifiers, a pair of hysteresis comparators electrically connected to the optical sensor for performing hysteresis comparison for the output of the optical sensor, an up/down counter electrically connected to the pair of hysteresis comparators for up/down counting the output of the hysteresis comparators and a firmware unit electrically connected to the pair of A/D converters and the up/down counter for performing interpolation for the quadrature periodical output signals and counting for the hysteresis compared signals. Therefore, optical encoded result of higher resolution can be achieved.
