Disclosed herein is a pen including a structure including a housing, a processing circuit that receives a vibration control signal, a signal transmitting circuit that, in operation, transmits a pen signal in accordance with an instruction from the processing circuit, a haptic element that, in operation, is controlled based on an instruction from the processing circuit according to the vibration control signal and that has one end fixed to the structure, and an offset transmitting section disposed inside the housing. The offset transmitting section, in operation, transmits a vibration of the haptic element to a position offset from a position where the haptic element is fixed in the structure.

Pen including haptic element, offset transmitting section, and seesaw switch

An electronic pent includes a case, a core body, and a signal generation circuit. The core body is attached inside the case such that a front end portion in an axial direction protrudes from an opening portion of the case. The signal generation circuit generates a signal to be transmitted from the core body. The core body includes a core rod and a protection member that covers a pen tip portion and an axis portion of the core rod. The core body is provided with a middle portion with a dielectric constant different from a dielectric constant of the protection member, the middle portion being provided around a side surface of the axis portion of the core rod such that the core rod is separated from the protection member.
