Abstract
An encoder scale, displaced relative to a detector head, includes: an insulating substrate; a conductive adhesive layer that is formed on the insulating substrate; and conductive pattern layers that are formed on the adhesive layer in a shape enabling the detector head to detect a position, wherein: the adhesive layer electrically connects all the pattern layers and includes an out-of-detection-range pattern that extends outward from a position detection range of the detector head; and the out-of-detection-range pattern is grounded via a conductive member.
