US 2022/0035501 A1 · POSITION DETECTION SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Abstract

A position detection sensor allows for providing, on a back side of the position detection sensor, a component that needs to be accessed from a front side thereof. The position detection sensor includes a plurality of position detection electrodes arranged on an insulating substrate, wherein a region provided with the plurality of position detection electrodes forms an effective detection region for detecting an indicated position of a position indicator. A through hole in a predetermined shape is formed in the insulating substrate in the effective detection region. The position detection electrodes are arranged to bypass the through hole along the shape of the through hole at an area intersecting the through hole.
