Abstract

A coordinate position information output device is disclosed in which the impedance at a position addressed by a contact pen, a light pen, a magnetic pen or the like is varied; a forward current is caused to flow by the impedance change in a charge storage diode; and a backward current flowing in the charge storage diode for a moment immediately thereafter is utilized as coordinate position information.
