Abstract

A handwritten character input device includes an opaque tablet or digitizer for inputting a handwritten character or figure into an apparatus. The tablet is of an electromagnetic induction type. The tablet is positioned under a liquid crystal display panel and an aluminum-evaporated film reflector is provided for the liquid crystal display. Preferably, the aluminum-evaporated film reflector is as thick as 1.0 micron or less. A conductive shield plate may be further provided between the tablet and a driving circuit substrate for the liquid crystal display panel. This shield plate serves to magnetically isolate the tablet from the driving substrate.
