Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an erroneous input caused by the side face of a hand and the placing a scale in hand-writing by the constitution that a mesh insulation woven cloth is sandwiched between a resistor rubber sheet and a resistance board. CONSTITUTION:Electrodes 5A an 5B are provided respectively to the two opposite sides of the resistor rubber sheet 5. Further, electrodes 7A, 7B are provided respectively to the two opposite sides of the resistance board 7. The two sides of the sheet 5 where the electrodes 5A, 5B and the two sides of the resistance board 7 where the electrodes 7A, 7B are provided are placed at a right angle to each other. Then the insulation woven cloth 6 with a region A having a coarse mesh and a region B having a fine mesh is sandwiched between the sheet 5 and the resistance board 7. In pressing one point on the area B or A of the sheet 5 in the constitution above by a hand-writing tool, the sheet 5 contacts the resistance board 7 through the mesh formed by the warp and weft of the woven cloth 6 and are made conductive. The presence or absence of the description is detected by detecting a current flowing between the sheet 5 and the resistance board 7, and X and Y coordinates are obtained by detecting the voltage of the electrodes of the sheet 5 and the voltage of the electrodes of the resistance board 7.

Structure of a conventional example and its problems A conventional example of a position detection device having an input surface using two resistance plates is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. Figure 1 shows 1A electrode on both ends.

When characters or figures are written on one of the resistor plates 1 and 2, the double-folded resistor plates 1 and 2 are electrically conductive at the point where the writing instrument is applied. This is a configuration for detecting coordinates. The dot spacer 3 is made by printing insulating paste in a dot shape. However, as shown in FIG. 2, if the dot spacer 3 is made thicker in order to secure the gap between the resistor plates 1 and 2, the dot spacer 3 will inevitably become larger than the resistor plates 1-! The area of the dot relative to the dot 2 is small, and when characters are written on the input surface, the double-folded plates 1 and 2 cannot be electrically conductive in the area where the dot is located, and the position becomes a dead point, making it impossible to detect the position. There wasn't.

In order to reduce dead points, the pitch of Tonotos 3-Sa 3 may be increased, frame-shaped spacers may be used on the sides of resistance plates 1 and 2, and gas or liquid may be injected between the resistance plates 1 and 2. When it is filled, the side of the little finger side of the hand is placed on the input surface when writing, resulting in erroneous inputs on that part, and in some cases, inputting by simply placing the ruler.

When finger input is used for command input, and a drawing input surface using a writing instrument and a command input surface are configured on one input surface, there is a difference between + and [, which increases the input area. This can be solved by sharing some parts. Therefore, the command input screen must also be able to input graphics. In the case of the Dot Spacer 3, handwritten characters and figures can be entered with a pencil or ballpoint pen, and in addition, input can be made with a fingertip, which is an advantage of being able to share the figure input surface with a writing instrument and the command input surface with a fingertip.

FIG. 3 shows a conventional example in which a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber patch 4 is used instead of a dot spacer. The Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Rubber Notebook 4 has been developed so that even if the side of the hand is placed on the input surface during writing, that part will not be input, and only characters and figures written with a pencil or ballpoint pen can be input. By using it, the problem of blind spots can be solved.

Two types of pressure-sensitive conductive rubber sheets 4 suitable for inputting each writing instrument are prepared and placed adjacent to each other, and there is a drawback that inputting a figure on the boundary line results in discontinuity.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing an example of applying pressure by the side surface of the hand. In FIG. 5, the tip of the ballpoint pen 8 is a ball with a diameter of o, smm. Assuming that the pressurized area is a cylinder with a diameter of 0.6 mm, its area SB is as follows: 5B=(0,5/2)Xπ o,2(ma). Assuming that the writing pressure required for electrical connection between the resistor rubber notebook 5 and the resistance plate 7 by applying pressure with the tip of the ballpoint pen 8 is E501, the writing pressure P per unit area required for electrical continuity is P = 5010.2 2-2tso (/mj). When applying pressure from the side of the hand, if we take a value of 1000 (ma) as an example of the pressure area, the pressure PH at which the input surface becomes conductive is PH = P x 1000 = 250000 (g) = 250 (Kp). be. Therefore, it can be seen that the input surface does not conduct during normal writing operations. If the pressure is still applied at the pad of the fingertip, taking a value of 8o (mλ) as an example of the pressurizing area, the pressure PF at which the input surface becomes conductive is PF - P × 80 = = 2oooo (g) = 20 (2). Therefore, it is impossible to input with a fingertip.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the area A in FIG. 4 where pressure is applied with the fingertip 11, which is the input area by the fingertip. Here, there is no weft, only warp 6A. Since the weft is eliminated, the gap between the resistor rubber sheet 5 and the resistor plate 7 is halved, and the area supporting the resistor comb sheet 5 is also halved, so the pressure applied by the fingertips 11 at this time is applied to the region B. This is one-fourth of the pressure applied at , and conduction occurs at approximately 5Kp.

Although the effects of the invention have been described in detail based on one embodiment, it is clear that a position detection device having only an input surface using a writing instrument or a position detection device having only an input surface using a fingertip can be constructed. Further, the pressure required for input can be selected depending on the thickness and rubber hardness of the resistor rubber sheet, and the thread diameter and pitch of the insulating woven fabric. By using a resistor rubber sheet as the resistance plate in the example, it has the effect of lowering the pressure required for input, and by adding a flexible sheet to the input surface, the degree of flexibility reduces the pressure required for input. It is also possible to select the pressure. In this way, it is possible to select various pressure forces, and as long as the difference in pressure force is within the range of the insulating woven fabric, input parts with different pressure forces can be placed on the same plane without creating discontinuities. What can be done is highly applicable and extremely advantageous.
