Abstract
A coordinate input apparatus operable with any one of a conductor such as a finger and a non-conductor such as a pen without damaged operability is provided. Furthermore, in order to miniaturize the apparatus and reduce the thickness thereof, in an electrostatic capacitive detection section having a resin sheet and a resist film, a pressure-sensing detection section having a resin sheet, and a substrate, through-holes penetrating from the surface of the resist film to the backside of the substrate are formed. By filling these through-holes with a conductive material, an X-direction-detection electrode is connected to the substrate while an Y-direction-detection electrode is connected to the substrate.
