Abstract
A pick-and-place mechanism for a stylus, applicable for a portable electronic device, is provided. The portable electronic device has a housing. The pick-and-place mechanism for the stylus includes a moving member, a latch assembly, and a switch element. The moving member is movably disposed in the housing. The stylus is adapted to be inserted into the housing and locked with the moving member to move synchronously. The latch assembly is disposed in the housing and switches between a lock state and an unlock state. In the lock state, the latch assembly locks the stylus in the housing. In the unlock state, the latch assembly moves at least part of the stylus out of the housing. The switch element is electrically connected to the latch assembly to drive the latch assembly to switch between the lock state and the unlock state.
