An object of the present invention is to provide a coordinate input device
of touch-type capable of giving an electric signal to a transducer, even
if a piezoelectric vibrator having electrodes on both surfaces thereof is
employed.A device according to the present invention comprises: acoustic
wave transducers (piezoelectric vibrators) 3a and 4a, each functioning
for oscillating a bulk wave (a first wave) toward a top surface 2 of a
substrate 1; a planar wiring 7 formed on a back surface of the substrate
1 by the method such as transfer printing with conductive paste, for
supplying said piezoelectric vibrator with electric power; a connecting
device 8 for connecting said planar wiring with an electrode of each of
said acoustic wave transducers 3a and 4a; diffractive acoustic wave mode
couplers 9a 10b, each functioning for converting said bulk wave into a
surface acoustic wave (a second wave) and vice versa; and a means for
detecting a scatter in the surface acoustic wave (the second wave) on the
top surface of said substrate. Employing the combination of the planar
wiring and the connecting device can resolve the problem of fragility
associated with a cable wiring even in the piezoelectric vibrator having
the electrodes on both surfaces thereof.
