Abstract

A coordinates input device includes: a liquid crystal sheet comprising a conductive layer, a transparent high electric resistant layer, a liquid crystal-dispersed polymer layer, and a transparent insulating layer, all of which are sequentially laminated on a board; and a tablet comprising a Y-axis coordinate resistant sheet, a pressure sensitive sheet, an electrode sheet, a pressure sensitive sheet, an X-axis coordinates resistant sheet, and a flexible film for protection, all of which are sequentially laminated on a base. The Y-axis coordinates resistant sheet and the X-axis coordinates resistant sheet are connected to a detecting circuit for detecting coordinates indicated by a coordinates indicator.
