Abstract

A touch pen includes a body and a head fixed on one end of the body and electrically connected with the body. The head includes a supporter and a contact layer. The supporter includes a fixing section and a main section. The fixing section is configured to fix the head on the one end of the body. The contact layer covers an outer surface of the main section. A space is defined in the main section.

Claims
