Abstract

See full text

In an electromagnetic digitizer tablet having a grid of receptor wire disposed below a working surface over which a cursor emanating a magnetic field detected by the receptor wires is moved, this invention is an improvement to reduce electrostatically-caused jitters in data from the receptor wires. A grounded electrically conductive shield disposed between the grid of receptor wires and the working surface. The grounded electrically conductive shield is of a material and thickness to pass the magnetic field without substantial attenuation while conducting any electrostatic energy forming thereon to ground. Both conductive ink and a very thin metal foil can be used for the shield. The digitizer tablet is also shown embodied in the input/display device of a pen-driven computing system.
