Abstract

An optical coordinates input apparatus includes pairs of first light emitting elements and first light receiving elements, a plurality of pairs of second light emitting elements and second light receiving element having a light path intersecting a light path of the first light emitting elements and the first light receiving elements, and a filter section disposed on the front side of the light paths of the optical semiconductor elements for passing therethrough a light in the paths. The apparatus further includes a device from preventing a flow of an air containing dust from entering a space between the optical conductor elements and the filter section.
