A position detection sensor for detecting a position pointed to by a pointer, said position detection sensor comprising: a substrate (15, 17) having a transparent property at least at a predetermined region thereof, and a plurality of conductors disposed in a first direction on one face side of said substrate and another plurality of conductors disposed in a second direction crossing the first direction, wherein each of the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction is formed from a plurality of conductor pieces separated from each other by gaps formed at positions where the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction cross the plurality of conductors disposed in the second direction, and a first conductive member having a resistance value lower than that of the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction or the second direction and connecting a pair of said conductor pieces that are disposed adjacent to each other with one of the gaps interposed therebetween, the first conductive member ensuring insulation from one of the plurality of conductors disposed in the second direction at each of the positions where the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction cross the plurality of conductors disposed in the second direction, and in a region of said substrate other than the predetermined region, a second conductive member made of the same material as that of said first conductive member is disposed on one end portion of one of the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction or in the second direction, wherein the second conductive member is formed along the longitudinal direction on a surface of the plurality of conductor pieces integrally with the first conductive member. a substrate (15, 17) having a transparent property at least at a predetermined region thereof, and a plurality of conductors disposed in a first direction on one face side of said substrate and another plurality of conductors disposed in a second direction crossing the first direction, wherein each of the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction is formed from a plurality of conductor pieces separated from each other by gaps formed at positions where the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction cross the plurality of conductors disposed in the second direction, and a first conductive member having a resistance value lower than that of the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction or the second direction and connecting a pair of said conductor pieces that are disposed adjacent to each other with one of the gaps interposed therebetween, the first conductive member ensuring insulation from one of the plurality of conductors disposed in the second direction at each of the positions where the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction cross the plurality of conductors disposed in the second direction, and in a region of said substrate other than the predetermined region, a second conductive member made of the same material as that of said first conductive member is disposed on one end portion of one of the plurality of conductors disposed in the first direction or in the second direction, wherein the second conductive member is formed along the longitudinal direction on a surface of the plurality of conductor pieces integrally with the first conductive member.
