  • Patent number: 11472222
    Abstract: A multifunction pen is provided including a refill for a writing implement such as a ballpoint pen on a tip end side and including an electromagnetic induction-based electromagnetic induction refill on a rear end side such that there is no need to perform a switching operation between the writing refill and the electromagnetic induction refill. The multifunction pen includes a shaft tube 10 including openings at both of a tip end and a rear end, a writing refill 40 that is housed inside the shaft tube 10 and that includes a writing tip exposed through the opening at the tip end, and an electromagnetic induction refill 50 that is housed inside the shaft tube 10, that is exposed through the opening at the rear end, and that is employed in electromagnetic induction-based input.

  • Patent number: 11221686
    Abstract: A multifunction pen includes plural refills including an electromagnetic induction touch pen. A knock operation to one of knock rods each of which is connected to a rear end of each of the plural refills causes a tip of one refill of the plural refills to move from a standby position in which the tip stays inside a shaft tube to an in-use position in which the tip projects from a tip end opening of the shaft tube. At least one refill from writing refills other than the electromagnetic induction touch pen is provided with a metal writing tip, and a tip of the electromagnetic induction touch pen at the in-use position is separated from the tips of the writing refills at the standby position by a distance such that electromagnetic induction by the electromagnetic induction touch pen is not affected by the tips of the writing refills.

  • Patent number: 11112892
    Abstract: A stylus pen is disclosed with which coordinate information can be inputted accurately and whose operability can be improved. A stylus pen for inputting information by bringing a screen contacting portion into contact with a capacitive touch screen includes a barrel, a holder made of nonconductive material attached to a front end of the barrel, a screen contacting portion formed of conductive material and attached to a front end of the holder, and a connecting member made of conductive material that is disposed in the holder and has a resilient action along the axial direction and that conducts electricity when a front end portion of the connecting member comes into contact with the screen contacting portion. An outer diameter, perpendicular to the axial direction, of the connecting member is set to be smaller than an outer diameter, perpendicular to the axial direction, of the screen contacting portion.

  • Publication number: 20150317950
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to make full use of energy stored in storage capacitors connected in parallel to display pixels and prevent variations of display performance and easily adjust the display without replacing the storage capacitors. Storage capacitors 25 that can store charge to continuously move electrophoretic particles in a direction corresponding to a drive voltage for a time longer than a reference frame period even after a drive voltage is turned off by one selection are provided in parallel to respective display pixels (20), pause periods are provided in scan line units or in group units made up of a plurality of continuous scan lines and pause periods are provided so that a scanning interval of each scan line unit is shorter than a time within which the storage capacitors (25) can move electrophoretic particles even after the drive voltage is turned off.

  • Publication number: 20150097805
    Abstract: To detect a position on a screen with which even a thin nib is in contact, and improve operativity, visibility at the time of operation, and a feeling of use. A touch screen film 5 includes at least a transparent, conductive, thin film 7 which has a predetermined surface resistivity set to be within a range from 105.0 to 108.0 ?/sq; when a pointing means 30 comes into contact with the film, a change in capacitance per unit area of 0.36 to 6.00 pF/mm2 occurs in a dielectric material 4 between a predetermined area including the contact position and the sensor electrode.
