An influence by a vibration which is transmitted in the air is reduced, thereby preventing an erroneous detection of coordinates or a deterioration in a detecting precision. An elastic resin sheet is arranged on the coordinates input surface side of a vibration transmission plate so as to have a gap between the resin sheet and the vibration transmission plate and is fixed by an adhesive layer. When coordinates are inputted by a vibrator pen, namely, when a vibration is inputted, the resin sheet is warped by a writing pressure of the vibrator pen and the resin sheet is come into contact with the vibration transmission plate. Therefore, the vibration applied by the vibrator pen is efficiently transmitted to the vibration transmission plate. On the other hand, a vibration transmitted from the air is reflected by the boundary on both surface sides of the resin sheet and by the surface of the vibration transmission plate by a difference between acoustic impedances, so that the vibration entering the vibration transmission plate is remarkably reduced.
A coordinates input apparatus for applying a vibration to a vibration transmission plate by vibration input means and detecting the vibration to be transmitted by a plurality of vibration sensors arranged for said vibration transmission plate, thereby deriving input coordinates of the vibration on the basis of a transmission time of the vibration, comprising:
