Abstract
A coordinate input display apparatus includes an input pad, such as a digitizer, disposed over a display unit, such as an LCD. In order to provide an improved visual display, a distance between the digitizer and the LCD is minimized, as is the thickness of the digitizer, while at the same time, preventing the digitizer from contacting the LCD when the digitizer is subjected to a maximum normal load.
