Abstract
A digitizer system including a substrate having a position-unique photoluminescent indicia pattern. A stylus component receives optical signals indicative of the indicia pattern and determines therefrom the position of the stylus relative to the substrate. Methods of disposing indicia on the substrate, and styli suitable for sensing photoluminescent indicia are also described.

21. A stylus for a digitizer system comprising:
-
a radiation source providing excitation radiation in a first wavelength range; and
,a sensor configured to detect a pattern of dots and distinguish multiple wavelengths emitted by the dots in response to the excitation radiation in the first wavelength range, and based on the pattern and the distinguishing of the multiple wavelengths, uniquely identify a location of the pattern. - View Dependent Claims (22)
