Abstract
A position indicator includes a resonance circuit housed in a casing and having an inductance element and a capacitor variable in capacitance, such that the resonance circuit resonates at a predetermined frequency. The position indicator is electromagnetically coupled to a position detecting device. The capacitor includes a dielectric, an electrode disposed on one side of the dielectric, and a trimming electrode disposed on another side of the dielectric such that at least one part of a region of the trimming electrode is opposed to the electrode with the dielectric interposed in between, to form the capacitance of the capacitor. The capacitor is housed in the casing such that the at least one part can be exposed from the casing. The area of the at least one part exposed from the casing to the outside is changed so as to correspond to a resonance frequency desired for the resonance circuit.
