CORDLESS ELECTRONIC STYLUS AND ELECTRONIC INK-WELL

摘要

The present invention provides a cordless electronic stylus that utilizes one or more capacitors in place of conventional batteries to provide an on-board power supply. The charge storage capacity of the capacitors is chosen to permit the overall dimensions of the stylus to be smaller and more pen-like than conventional electronic stylus devices that use batteries. An electronic "ink-well" is provided to permit the rapid recharge of the capacitors. The ink-well can either be a stand-along unit or incorporated into the structure of a digitizer tablet or electronic pocket organizer.
