To provide an optical pointing device capable of being provided as a device of short stature, being used integrally with an apparatus having a limited stature and a limited space, reducing cost and improving reliability. A pointing board has an X axis line pattern and a Y axis line pattern which are orthogonal to each other. When the pointing device is moved on a support base provided on a control circuit board, lights from an X and Y axis light emitting devices crosses the X and Y axis line patterns and are reflected. The reflected light is detected as an optical pulses by an X and Y axis photo-detectors. Coordinate information according to a movement direction and a movement quantity is converted into an electrical signal, and a cursor is moved on a display screen of the computer.
