An active pen (also referred to as active stylus ) is an input device that includes electronic components and allows users to write directly onto the display of a computing ...
The ability to accurately point on the screen itself is also advancing with the emerging graphics tablet-screen hybrids. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) plays a major role in this innovation due its high piezoelectric properties, which allow the tablet to sense pressure, making such things as digital painting behave more like paper and pencil.
