==Original Abstract Submitted==

A position detection sensor includes a base made of a flexible material. The base includes a terminal section having a plurality of terminal conductors disposed on a first surface of the base. The base includes a sensor pattern section including a plurality of electrode conductors arranged in predetermined patterns in an area that does not overlap with the terminal section on the first surface of the base. End portions of the plurality of electrode conductors are positioned so as to be connectable to corresponding ones of the terminal conductors in the terminal section. The first surface of the base includes a region of the terminal section, a region of the sensor pattern section, and a bendable region between these two regions. Each of the plurality of electrode conductors, which is electrically connected to each of the plurality of terminal conductors, is disposed so as to be extensible in the bendable region.
