ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITANCE-TYPE POINTING DEVICE

摘要

An electrostatic capacitance-type pointing device having excellent operability while the size thereof is reduced.  The electrostatic capacitance-type pointing device comprises a sensor substrate (11) on which row electrodes (X1-X3) for detecting x coordinates and line electrodes (Y1-Y3) for detecting y coordinates are arranged independently of each other, an insulator (13) which is so disposed on the sensor substrate (11) as to cover the area (12) where the line electrodes (Y1-Y3) and the row electrodes (X1-X3) are arranged and the upper surface of which is formed in an operation surface (14), and an operation reference (15) recognizable by a touch sense formed on the operation surface (14).  The area (12) is larger in size than the operation reference (15), and the operation reference (15) is positioned at the center of the area (12).
