Abstract

An optical sensor comprises a first light-emitting element, a second light-emitting element, a light-receiving element, a first amplifier circuit and a second amplifier circuit. The light-receiving element receives reflected light from an object to be measured, and outputs an output value on the basis of a light receiving result of the light-receiving element. The amplifier circuits amplifies the output value output from the light-receiving element.
