Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a thin plate shaped apparatus comprising a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes which are arranged on the first surface of a nonconductive base material, a linear conductive member, a plurality of indicator electrodes formed in the operation area. The plurality of first electrodes are connected with the linear conductive member as a bundle or each separately, indicator electrodes are formed in the operation area, the second electrodes connected to the indicator electrodes possess physical quantities within a range of which their positions are not detected by a panel, and conductor patterns of which each respective position is detectable by the panel when any one of the plurality of indicator electrodes or the nonconductive member laminated on the plurality of indicator electrodes receives finger contact operations when the area formed with at least the second electrodes and the plurality of first electrodes is in a state of making contact with or coming into proximity to the panel through each respective physical quantity including those of second electrodes connected to indicator electrodes of the positions receiving the contact operations and the plurality of first electrodes.
