In an electromagnetic digitizer tablet (14) having a grid of receptor wires (30) disposed below a working surface over which a cursor (12) emanating a magnetic field detected by the receptor wires is moved, this invention is an improvement to reduce electrostatically-caused jitters in data from the receptor wires (30). A grounded electrically conductive shield (40) disposed between the grid of receptor wires and the working surface (54). The grounded electrically conductive shield (40) is of a material and thickness to pass the magnetic field without substantial attenuation while conducting any electrostatic energy forming thereon to ground. Both conductive ink and a very thin metal foil can be used for the shield. The digitizer tablet is also shown embodied in the input/display device of a pen-driven computing system.
