Electronic apparatus including sensing coil and manufacturing method of the same
An electronic apparatus includes a window, a display panel disposed on a lower surface of the window, and a digitizer disposed on a lower surface of the display panel. The digitizer includes a first photosensitive resin layer, a first sensing coil disposed on one surface of the first photosensitive resin layer, a second photosensitive resin layer disposed spaced apart from the first photosensitive resin layer, and a first adhesive layer disposed between the first photosensitive resin layer and the second photosensitive resin layer and which adheres the first photosensitive resin layer and the second photosensitive resin layer.
Foldable electrophoretic display module including non-conductive support plate
A foldable electrophoretic display that is flexible and may be folded in a book-like fashion. Foldable electrophoretic display modules that can be separately manufactured and incorporated into a variety of foldable devices with differing functionality as needed by the consumer. In some embodiments, the resulting foldable electrophoretic display may include touch sensing, a front light, color, and a digitizing layer to record interactions with a stylus. In some embodiments, the display includes a color filter array.
INDUCTOR CORE, ELECTRONIC PEN, AND INPUT DEVICE
An inductor core includes a pillar shaped magnetic main body comprising a magnetic material including pores. The magnetic main body includes: an inclined portion including an inclined surface that constitutes an outer circumferential surface of a truncated cone having an increasing outer diameter; and a straight body portion that is coaxial with the inclined portion and includes an outer peripheral surface that constitutes an outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical column body, the straight body portion being connected to the inclined portion. A difference between an average value of inter-centroid distances of the pores at the straight body portion and an average diameter of the pores at the straight body portion is greater than a difference between an average value of inter-centroid distances of the pores at the inclined portion and an average diameter of the pores at the inclined portion.
System and method for detecting and characterizing touch inputs at a human-computer interface
One variation of a system for detecting inputs at a computing device includes: a substrate including a top layer, a bottom layer defining an array of support locations, and electrode pairs proximal the support locations; a touch sensor surface arranged over the top layer of the substrate; a set of spacers, each arranged over an electrode pair at a support location on the bottom layer of the substrate and including a force-sensitive material exhibiting variations in local bulk resistance responsive to variations in applied force; an array of spring elements coupled to the set of spacers, configured to support the substrate on a chassis, and configured to yield to displacement of the substrate downward toward the chassis responsive to forces applied to the touch sensor surface; and a controller configured to interpret forces of inputs on the touch sensor surface based on resistance values of the electrode pairs.

INDUCTOR CORE, ELECTRONIC PEN, AND INPUT DEVICE
An inductor core includes a magnetic main body having a pillar shape and comprised of a magnetic material. The magnetic main body includes an inclined portion including an inclined surface that constitutes an outer circumferential surface of a truncated cone having an outer diameter increasing from one end toward the other end; and a straight body portion that is coaxial with the inclined portion and includes an outer peripheral surface that constitutes an outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical column body extending from the other end toward the one end, the straight body portion being connected to the inclined portion. An arithmetic mean roughness Ra of an outer peripheral surface of the straight body portion located at or around the other end is smaller than an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of an outer peripheral surface of the straight body portion that is disposed at or around the inclined portion.
