Abstract
In an acceleration sensor detecting inclined displacement of a predetermined article from a basic position, the acceleration sensor (10) includes a sensor chip having a detection plane including one detection axis or two crossing detection axes detecting the inclined displacement. An axis orthogonal to the detection plane of the sensor chip is disposed in parallel with a standard plane of the article in the basic position. Then, the sensor chip obtains an output signal according to the inclined displacement of the standard plane.
