Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic pen includes a cylindrical housing including an opening on one end of the housing in an axial direction of the housing, a core body attached inside of the housing such that an end of the core body protrudes from the opening on the one end of the housing, and a signal generation circuit which, in operation, generates a signal that is transmitted from the core body. The core body includes a core rod that is conductive and a protection member. The core rod includes a front portion that protrudes from the opening on the one end of the housing, a back portion, and an intermediate portion between the front portion and the back portion. The intermediate portion has a tapered shape narrowing from the front portion toward the back portion. The core rod receives the signal from the signal generation circuit. The protection member covers a side surface of the intermediate portion of the core rod.
