Claim One:
1. A coordinate input apparatus comprising a coordinate input element for detecting a coordinate position and a coordinate display element for displaying a pixel at a position corresponding to the coordinates detected by said coordinate input element, said coordinate input element being constructed such that transparent lower coordinate detecting electrodes are fitted on the upper surface of a lower transparent substrate, transparent upper coordinate detecting electrodes are fitted on the lower surface of an upper transparent substrate, said upper transparent substrate having resiliency is disposed above said lower transparent substrate so that said lower coordinate detecting electrodes and upper coordinate detecting electrodes confront each other with a spacing provided therebetween and in an intersectional arrangement, a transparent press-conductive resilient member is filled in the space between the upper surface of said lower transparent substrate including said lower coordinate detecting electrodes and the lower surface of said upper transparent substrate including said upper coordinate detecting electrodes, so that a coordinate input position is detected by the switching action between said upper and lower coordinate detecting electrodes accompanied by a resilient deformation of said press-conductive member, said upper transparent substrate and said upper coordinate detecting electrodes.
