However, when a transparent tablet is used by stacking the tablet on a liquid crystal display or the like, since the electrode uses a transparent electrode such as ITO or tin oxide, the resistance value is far higher than that of a metal conductor. Very expensive. Therefore, as compared with the side closer to the switch, the electrode is connected to the ground via the high resistance on the far side, and the effect of connecting to the ground is reduced. As an example, the case of the schematic diagram of FIG. 4 is shown. The electrode 2A is connected to the signal measuring unit 8. The electrode 2B is an electrode for which measurement is not performed, and is connected to the ground at the point b side at one end thereof. When noise enters the electrode 2B, the noise is easily absorbed by the ground near the point b which is the end connected to the ground. However, at the point a on the side opposite to the side connected to the ground, it is difficult for noise to flow into the ground because the electrode has a large resistance.
This noise circulates to the electrode 2A due to capacitive coupling between the electrodes and adversely affects the position detection. In addition to the influence of noise from the tablet device and peripheral devices, etc., when the signal from the pen enters electrodes other than the electrode that performs the measurement and wraps around the measurement electrode due to coupling between the electrodes,
It adversely affects the position detection. When the signal from the pen propagates due to the coupling between the electrodes, the amount of propagation is not constant between the adjacent electrodes, so that it becomes an error component and reduces the position detection accuracy.

Since both sides of the electrode can be connected to the ground, noise received by the electrode 2B which is not measured as shown in FIG. 5 is more easily absorbed by the ground than in the case of FIG. 4 of the conventional example. Therefore, the amount of noise that circulates around the electrodes to be measured is relatively reduced. If the resistance value between both ends of one electrode is R, in FIG. 4 of the conventional example, the resistance value from the point a on the side opposite to the end connected to the ground of the electrode 2B to the ground is R, In FIG. 5 of the present embodiment, even in the worst case, the resistance value from the point c ′ at the center of the electrode to the ground is R / 4 because it is considered that R / 2 is in parallel, and the resistance value is connected to the ground. The effect is increasing.

In this embodiment, the case where the pen is the signal transmitting side and the electrode is the receiving side has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this case. For example, the electrodes may be on the transmitting side, the signal source may be sequentially connected to the electrodes by a switch, the pen may be on the receiving side, and the signal measuring unit may be connected to the pen. Even in this case, there is an effect of reducing the propagation of noise between the electrodes. Although the pen 6 is connected to the ground via the signal source 7 in FIG. 1, it is a cordless type pen that has the signal source 7 inside the pen 6 and uses the housing of the pen 6 as a virtual ground.
