A coordinate input device of touch-type capable of giving an electric
signal to a transducer, even if said transducer is disposed on a back
surface of a substrate. The device contains acoustic wave transducers
(piezoelectric vibrators), each functioning for oscillating a bulk wave
(a first wave) toward a top surface of a substrate; a planar wiring
formed on a back surface of the substrate by, e.g., transfer printing
with conductive paste, for supplying the piezoelectric vibrator with
electric power; diffractive acoustic wave mode couplers, each functioning
for converting said bulk wave into a surface acoustic wave (a second
wave) and vice versa; and a detector to detect scatter in the surface
acoustic wave on the top surface of the substrate. Employing the planar
wiring allows the wiring to be disposed even on the back surface of the
substrate and also it may resolve the problem of fragility associated
with a cable wiring.
