Patent ID: 8847928

Claim:
A position indicator, comprising: an oscillation circuit configured to transmit a position indicating signal to indicate a position, the oscillation circuit including a coil comprising: a first conductive wire wound from a distal end portion thereof to a proximal end portion thereof in a predetermined rotational direction; and a second conductive wire wound from a proximal end portion thereof to a distal end portion thereof in the predetermined rotational direction, wherein said first conductive wire and said second conductive wire are connected to each other at the proximal end portions thereof, and said wound first conductive wire and said wound second conductive wire are disposed alternately adjacent to and in parallel with each other, such that the first and second conductive wires alternately cross over the second and first conductive wires, respectively, with electric currents passing in the same rotational direction through the alternately adjacent and parallel first and second conductive wires, to have electric fields respectively radiated from the first and second conductive wires cancel each other.
