An array of sensors, which is coupled to an array of pixel elements in a position detecting display panel, includes sensors that are each registered with a corresponding pixel element of the array of pixel elements, and that each include a material exhibiting magneto-electric behavior in response to a magnetic field source. Some systems may include the position detecting display panel and at least one separate stylus, which includes the magnetic field source. A voltage source, that is operably coupled to each sensor and each pixel element, applies a voltage across one or more particular pixel elements, according to the magneto-electric behavior of the corresponding sensor(s), when the magnetic field source is brought into proximity the corresponding sensor(s).
