ABSTRACT:
An optical mouse for inputting a cursor position including first and second line patterns formed on opposite surfaces of a transparent substrate, with the lines of the first and second line patterns being perpendicular. The line patterns are illuminated by a light source in the movable mouse body, which also includes an optical system and detecting elements for separately detecting light reflected from the first and second patterns. Because the first and second line patterns are located at different distances from the optical system, light reflected from the two patterns can be separately focused to prevent interference between the two patterns.
