Abstract

A position detection device includes a position detection sensor and signal processing circuitry. The position detection sensor has first loop electrodes arranged in a first direction and second loop electrodes arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The signal processing circuitry switches the position detection sensor between a first state in which the first loop electrodes and the second loop electrodes are coupled as coils to a first pointer through electromagnetic inductive coupling, and a second state in which the first and second loop electrodes are coupled to a second pointer through capacitive coupling with opposite ends of each of the first loop electrodes and the second loop electrodes connected together or with one end of each of the first loop electrodes and the second loop electrodes left open.
