Abstract
A coordinate detecting device includes a resistive film formed on a substrate and a common electrode for applying a voltage to the resistive film, wherein a potential distribution is created in the resistive film, an electric potential of the resistive film at a contact position is detected, and a position of the contact position of the resistive film is detected. In a manufacturing apparatus, a laser light source irradiates laser light to remove a part of the resistive film to form a resistive film removed part, an optical system converges the laser light, a plurality of probes measure electric potentials of a surface of the resistive film with the common electrode providing the voltage to the resistive film, an X-Y table moves the substrate at least two-dimensionally, and a control part controls the X-Y table and the laser light source.
