Specialist words
Stylus
A stylus is an input pointer which is
used for the operation of touch-screens,
mobile phones or PDAs.
The stylus consists basically of a plastic
pointer with a softer plastic core. The
sleeve is hard and can be gripped and
the softer core emerges at the tip and is
designed to touch the screen as softly as
possible (i.e. without the danger of
scratching the screen).
The stylus is more accurate than opera-
tion using the fingers, since only the thin
tip touches the screen. In addition, dirty
marks on the screen caused by finger
prints are avoided.
