There is provided a coordinates input apparatus in which a vibration input from a vibration pen having a piezoelectric transducer is detected by a plurality of vibration sensors attached to a vibration propagating plates such as an input tablet and the coordinates of this pen on the plate are detected. The tip of the vibration input pen is made of a material of a resin of the polyamideimide system such as thermoplastic polyamideimide or aromatic polyamideimide. With this material, a desired image can be smoothly input to the input tablet without scratching the glass surface thereof and the accurate coordinates can be detected.
