The International Display Workshops

We developed a thin and flexible sensor construction approach to realize detection of the 3-axis pressure distribution over a large area with a wide sensing range and high accuracy. The use of porous rubber as a pressure-sensitive modulator eliminates the need for thick focusing systems without sensitivity loss. Integrated with a thin-film backlight and imager, our sensor is only 1.5 mm thick and remains functional even when bent and mounted on curved surfaces.
