  • Publication number: 20170300138
    Abstract: A conductive section (13) is disposed at an inclination of 30 degrees with respect to a pen body (10). When a pen tip (12) comes into contact with or proximity to a touch surface of a touch panel (2), an angle of inclination of a length direction of the conductive section (13) with respect to the touch surface of the touch panel (2) is an angle (60 degrees to 90 degrees) at which a difference between a position of contact or proximity of the pen tip (12) on or to the touch surface and a center of gravity of a distribution of the sizes of changes in capacitance as generated by the pen tip (12) coming into contact with or proximity to the touch surface becomes constant regardless of place on the touch surface. With this, even when the pen tip is sufficiently small, variations in positions of contact or proximity to be detected when the pen body is tilted can be reduced.
