In a touch sensor, one ends of optical fibers are disposed at positions
corresponding to respective pressure sensing points on a sensor sheet.
The optical fibers in a bundled form are connected in a detection unit.
The detection unit includes therein a camera that takes an image showing
a change in luminance at the other ends of the optical fibers. A
transmissive body is disposed to contain the other ends of the optical
fibers and light sources. Upper and side faces of the transmissive body
are covered with antireflection members. The transmissive body has
substantially the same refractive index as the core of each optical
fiber. A force applied to the sensor sheet is detected based on the
change in luminance at the other ends of the optical fibers shown in the
image taken by the camera.
