Patent Images
1. An eyeball movement detection device comprising:
- a first far-infrared sensor having directivity to a first edge of an exposed surface of an eyeball of an eye of a user;
a second far-infrared sensor having directivity to a second edge of the exposed surface of the eyeball, the second edge being opposed to the first edge;
a first output difference calculation section that calculates a difference between an output from the first far-infrared sensor and an output from the second far-infrared sensor; and
a detection section that detects an eyeball movement of the eyeball on the basis of a time shift in the difference thus calculated.

Abstract
An eyeball movement detection device (1) detects an eyeball movement of an eye in a side-to-side direction on the basis of a time shift in difference between an output from a far-infrared sensor (11) having directivity to an edge of an exposed surface of an eyeball on the side of the inner corner of the eye and an output from a far-infrared sensor (12) having directivity to an edge of the exposed surface of the eyeball on the side of the outer corner of the eye. This makes it possible to detect an eyeball movement in a noncontact manner, with a light weight, and with low power consumption.
