ABSTRACT:
A position transducer determines a current key position through variation of light intensity interrupted by a shutter plate attached to a key, and a semi-column shaped convex lens elongates the light beam radiated from an optical fiber in a direction parallel to the trajectory of the key so that the light beam fully covers the motion of the shutter plate.
