A stylus pen is disclosed with which coordinate information can be inputted accurately and whose operability can be improved. A stylus pen for inputting information by bringing a screen contacting portion into contact with a capacitive touch screen includes a barrel, a holder made of nonconductive material attached to a front end of the barrel, a screen contacting portion formed of conductive material and attached to a front end of the holder, and a connecting member made of conductive material that is disposed in the holder and has a resilient action along the axial direction and that conducts electricity when a front end portion of the connecting member comes into contact with the screen contacting portion. An outer diameter, perpendicular to the axial direction, of the connecting member is set to be smaller than an outer diameter, perpendicular to the axial direction, of the screen contacting portion.

Provided are: a carbonaceous acoustic matching layer which exhibits satisfactory mechanical strength, in which losses at a layer interface are suppressed as far as possible and in which the degree of variation in acoustic impedance in the thickness direction can be increased; and a method for producing same. The carbonaceous acoustic matching layer is obtained by dispersing filler particles, which are selected on the basis of the desired acoustic impedance of each layer, in a resin such as a furan resin, a phenol resin or a vinyl chloride resin, curing, laminating, and then carbonizing the resin by heating in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, amorphous carbon, which is obtained by the resin carbonization, is integrated across all the layers. The blending proportion of the filler particles is decided so that the difference in coefficient of linear contraction caused by the carbonization is at a minimum between adjacent layers.

A carbonaceous acoustic diaphragm whose density is reduced while retaining the required stiffness is provided. Carbon nanofibers and spherical particles of PMMA are mixed into a carbon-containing resin such as a polyvinyl chloride resin, and the mixture is carbonized to vaporize the spherical particles of PMMA, thereby forming a porous structure having pores with the carbon nanofibers in a powdered form uniformly dispersed through amorphous carbon. By forming a multilayer structure by combining the porous layer with a layer that does not use PMMA, the density can be further reduced while retaining the stiffness.

The invention provides at a relatively low cost a carbon substrate that is formed from an opaque material and that has an extremely flat surface so that optical measurements can be made on the substrate. Graphite powder with a particle size of 10 &#x3bc;m or less is mixed in a thermosetting resin such as a furan resin, and the mixture is molded into a sheet and calcined at 1400&#xb0; C. in an inert atmosphere to produce a carbon substrate whose surface is then ground flat.
