Abstract

An electronic board includes: a sensor sheet including X parallel electrode wires and Y parallel electrode wires, and a chassis to which the sensor sheet is attached. A sensor substrate is connected to a lower end of the sensor sheet. A sensor substrate is connected to a right end of the sensor sheet. The sensor substrate is disposed on a back surface of the chassis with a portion close to the lower end of the sensor sheet being bent to cover a lower end of the chassis.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic board capable of detecting a contact position on a writing board, comprising:
a sensor sheet including a plurality of first electrode wires extending in a first direction, and a plurality of second electrode wires extending in a second direction crossing the first direction; and
a chassis that fixes the sensor sheet, wherein
a first sensor substrate to which the plurality of first electrode wires are connected is connected to an end in the first direction of the sensor sheet, a second sensor substrate to which the plurality of second electrode wires are connected is connected to an end in the second direction of the sensor sheet, and
at least one of the first sensor substrate and the second sensor substrate is disposed on a back surface of the chassis with a portion close to an end of the sensor sheet being bent to cover an end of the chassis, wherein
the first sensor substrate is disposed on the back surface of the chassis with a portion close to the end in the first direction of the sensor sheet being bent to cover an end of the chassis in the first direction,
the second sensor substrate is disposed on a side surface of the chassis with a portion close to an end in the second direction of the sensor sheet being bent at the end of the chassis in the second direction,
a support member is disposed on a back side of the chassis for supporting the chassis; and
a bezel that forms an outer frame of the electronic board, wherein
the support member includes an upper surface, a side surface extending from the upper surface to the back surface of the chassis and being screwed to the bezel, and a chassis pressing portion contacting with the back surface of the chassis, and the first sensor substrate is further in contact with a buffer member disposed in a space formed between the upper surface of the support member and the back surface of the chassis, and is movably supported relative to the chassis.

2. The electronic board according to claim 1 , wherein the second sensor substrate is further in contact with a buffer member disposed in a space formed between the side surface of the chassis and a side surface of the bezel, and is movably supported relative to the chassis.

3. The electronic board according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a back cover that covers a back side of the electronic board; and
a mounting member for mounting the back cover to the electronic board, wherein
the mounting member includes a lower surface that is placed in an opening formed in the back cover and is screwed to the upper surface of the support member, and a back cover pressing portion that supports the back cover, and
the back cover is held between the upper surface of the support member and the back cover pressing portion.

4. The electronic board according to claim 1 , further comprising:
the writing board arranged such that contacting of a pen tip of a pen as a writing instrument onto the writing board remains as visible handwriting;
a position detection section that detects the contact position on the writing board at which the pen tip contacts onto the writing board; and
a pen identification section that detects an identification signal output from the pen.
