Stylus tip structure, and passive capacitive stylus
A stylus tip structure and a passive capacitive stylus. The stylus tip structure comprises a main body and an embedded member. The main body has a hollow structure, and multiple through holes are provided in the main body. The embedded member comprises multiple contacts and a connection arm. The contacts are arranged to correspond to the through holes. The connection arm is provided within an internal cavity of the main body. The multiple contacts are connected by the connection arm as an elastic integrated structure. Structures of the contacts are partially exposed from the main body via the through holes. When a user uses a passive capacitive stylus having the stylus tip structure to write, the contacts exposed from the main body are in contact with a glass surface of a capacitive touch panel.
