Claim Text:
1. A pointer detection sensor of a capacitance type, comprising: a plurality of first conductors disposed in a first direction; a plurality of second conductors disposed in a second direction crossing with the first direction, the plurality of first conductors and the plurality of second conductors disposed in an opposing relationship to each other and spaced apart from each other, wherein, in operation, a variation of a capacitance formed between any of the first conductors and any of the second conductors based on a variation of a distance between the first conductor and the second conductor when one of the first conductor and the second conductor is deflected by pressing by a pointer is detected to indicate a position pointed to by the pointer; and one or more spacers disposed only in regions of cross points between conductors of the plurality of first conductors and conductors of the plurality of second conductors, wherein the one or more spacers are interposed between conductors of the plurality of first conductors and conductors of the plurality of second conductors, and an amount of possible deflection of the first or second conductor toward the other in regions other than the regions of cross points is greater than in the regions of cross points.
