PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance detection sensitivity while achieving an effective manufacture of a position detector. SOLUTION: At least one grating element 11b out of an index scale 11 and a main sale arranged opposedly to allow relative displacement is coloredly formed by a shielding coloring agent 11a2 to impart a shielding property on an inner wall face of a worked groove 11a1 recessed with a prescribed pitch in a surface part of a substrate 11a, the grating element 11b is easily manufactured thereby without requiring an expensive production facility and great labor and time as in a conventional photolithography process, and a thickness or a height of the grating element 11b is remarkably thickened or heightened to prevent satisfactorily luminous energy of inspection light from getting low, while preventing an interference of the inspection light.
