Writing Stylus For Use On Cell Phone Display

Wacom, a leading manufacturer of pen tablets and pens, has developed a small stylus with which to write on a cell phone display, reports Nikkei net Interactive.

"The stylus has a built-in circuit that receives electronic waves from a sensor underneath the phone's screen to input writing by the user

Because of its miniature circuit, the stylus measures just 3.5mm in diameter and 6.2cm in length, versus existing ones which are about 10cm long with a diameter of 8mm. It weighs just one gram.

The new product will be targeted for use by the elderly and others who have difficulty using buttons in composing messages on cell phones."
