Abstract

See full text

Position detection electrodes are disposed so as to be point-symmetrical relative to an arbitrary point on a line X that extends almost along the center of a printed pattern on an opposite circuit board and is parallel with the Y axis. Position detector electrodes are disposed in the same manner. A probe selector switch section can provide a probe selection signal, and a position detector sensor selection which section can provide a signal for selecting among the position detection electrodes. A detected voltage varies depending on how the position detection electrode is opposed to a printed pattern. Thus, misalignment can be detected by detecting the opposition relationship between each of the position detection electrodes and the printed pattern.
