Position detection device

A position detection device comprising:

• a position detection sensor that is used with a position indicator and includes
• a sensor-substrate main body including electrodes configured to accept an indication input from the position indicator, and
• a cable section to which the electrodes are led out;
• and
• a circuit board in which a position detection circuitry, to which the position detection sensor is connected, is configured,
• wherein the sensor-substrate main body of the position detection sensor includes an insulating substrate having a first surface that is located on a side where a position is to be indicated by the position indicator and a second surface that is located on an opposite side of the first surface,
• conductors constituting the electrodes are formed on the first surface and the second surface,
• a shield layer is disposed on an entire surface of the second surface so as to cover the electrodes formed on the second surface, and
• the circuit board is connected to the cable section of the position detection sensor on a surface of the cable section contiguous with the first surface of the sensor-substrate main body, and when the cable section is bent toward the second surface of the sensor-substrate main body, the circuit board is positioned at a lowermost layer of the position detection device.
