Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately input coordinate values with a simple constitution by providing a digitizer, three detecting electrodes arranged in the peripheral edge part of the digitizer, and a means which detects and operates an alternating current by these electrodes. CONSTITUTION:A resistor 12 of carbon ink is formed on a base plate 11 consisting of an insulating material and the resistor 12 is coated with an insulating sheet 13 to form a digitizer 14. Detecting electrodes 15 to 17 are arranged at apexes of an right-angled triangle in three corner parts Y0, O, and X0 of the digitizer 14 so that they are electrically connected to the resistor 12. Detecting electrodes 15 to 17 are connected to analog switches SW1 to SW3, and only one of them is certainly turned on. The detection signal is applied to a CPU from an inverting amplifier 18 through a band-pass filter 19 and an A/D converter 20. Thus, detection signals from detecting electrodes 15 to 17 are obtained, and designated position coordinates are obtained by the detection signal obtained from each switch SW.
