Patent ID: 8890826

Claim:
A position detection apparatus, comprising: a housing in which a position detection sensor unit is disposed, said position detection sensor unit including: (a) a sensor substrate on which conductors for detecting a position pointed to by a pointer are disposed; (b) a position pointing operation member having a first face, on which a position is to be pointed to by the pointer, and a second face provided on the opposite side of said first face, on which said sensor substrate is disposed, said sensor substrate being fixed to the second face of said position pointing operation member; and (c) a flexible cable having a predetermined width and length, being extended from said sensor substrate so as to be connected to a signal processing circuit for determining a position pointed to by the pointer; wherein the housing includes a first surface that supports the detection sensor unit and a second surface opposite from the first surface, and the housing defines a slanted through-hole which extends in an oblique direction from the first surface to the second surface through which the flexible cable is threaded to extend obliquely.
