  • Publication number: 20210157421
    Abstract: A position detecting sensor for use with an active stylus includes first electrodes arranged in a first direction, and second electrodes arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The first electrodes and the electrodes are both formed in a mesh form. The first electrodes are located closer to an operating surface with which the active stylus comes into contact than the second electrodes. A width of each of the first electrodes in an arrangement direction of the first electrodes is different from a width of each of the second electrodes in an arrangement direction of the second electrodes. A signal transmitted from the active stylus and received by one of the second electrodes is less shielded by the first electrodes than in a case that the width of each of the first electrodes is same as the width of each of the second electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20170103777
    Abstract: A substrate for suspension comprises a metallic substrate, an insulating layer formed on the metallic substrate, a conductor layer formed on the insulating layer, and a cover layer covering the conductor layer. The insulating layer and the cover layer are formed from different materials, whose coefficients of hygroscopic expansion are in the range between 3×10?6/% RH and 30×10?6/% RH. The difference between the coefficients of hygroscopic expansion of the two materials is 5×10?6/% RH or less.
