Manually operable input device e.g. input pen for use with capacitive display, has continuous electrically conductive transmission film that is extended between contact portion and guide section

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The manually operable input device (1) has a guide section (6) that includes a contact portion (5) in one end for contacting an input field. A continuous electrically conductive transmission film (3) made of carbon or foam material is extended between the contact portion and the guide section. A cushion (4) made of resilient material is arranged in contact portion. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Manually operable input device e.g. input pen for use with capacitive display. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The conductivity of the transmission film is provided in accordance with the conductivity of human skin so that electrical transmission between the input field and the contact portion can be ensured. Hence, efficiency of input device can be improved, and construction of the input device can be simplified. The contact surface between the contact portion and input field can be enlarged so that input control can be enhanced. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a longitudinal sectional view of the input pen. 1 : Manually operable input device 3 : Electrically conductive transmission film 4 : Cushion 5 : Contact portion 6 : Guide section.
