[0058] [Appearance example of electronic equipment]

[0059] figure 1 An example of the appearance of the electronic device according to the first embodiment of the present technology has been described. For example, the electronic device is a watch-type electronic device 10 that can be worn on and off the human body, that is, a so-called wearable device. Such as figure 1 As shown in A, a watch-type electronic device 10 includes a main body 11 and bands 12 and 13 attached to the main body 11 . The straps 12 and 13 are configured to be attachable to and detachable from the main body portion 11 so that the straps 12 and 13 can be replaced by a user. Strip 12 includes an operational region R10 on one major surface. Inside the operation region ...

Deformed example 1

[0126] Figure 14 It is an exploded perspective view for explaining the structure of the sensor in Modification 1. FIG. Such as Figure 14 As shown, the first electrode substrate 50 (specifically, the reference electrode layer 50b) may be divided along the in-plane direction. Then, pressing force or shearing force in each of the divided regions can be detected. Since pressing force or shearing force in each area can be detected individually, pressing force and sliding due to multi-touch operation or the like can be detected. Note that the sizes of the divided first electrode substrates 50 may be the same as or different from each other.

Deformed example 2

[0128] Figure 15 It is a figure which shows a part of the cross section of the sensor in the modification 2. By changing the structure of the first dielectric layer 70, it is possible to control the load required for deformation caused by a sliding operation or the like. For example, if Figure 15 As shown, by increasing or decreasing the size in the width direction (X-axis direction) of each elastic protrusion 76, the load required for deformation by sliding operation or the like can be controlled. In addition, all or part of the top 76 a of the elastic protrusion 76 of the first dielectric layer 70 can be adhered to the first electrode substrate 50 . The load required for deformation caused by sliding operation, etc. can also be controlled by the number of fitting parts.

Abstract

This sensor is provided with: a sensing layer including a pressure detection unit; a deformable dielectric layer that is provided on the sensing layer; and a conductive layer, which has a protruding section protruding toward the dielectric layer, and which can move in the in-plane direction of the sensing layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology relates to sensors, electronic devices, wearable terminals and control methods. Background technique [0002] A sensor capable of detecting not only a pressing force against an input operation surface but also a shearing force has been proposed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 3 described below). [0003] prior art literature [0004] patent documents [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. JP2012-168064 [0006] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. JP2006-250705 [0007] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. JP2004-117042 Contents of the invention [0008] The technical problem to be solved by the invention [0009] The sensor as described above requires a large number of wiring and pressure sensing units to detect the shearing force, which not only complicates the structure, but also is disadvantageous in terms of cost. In addition, there ...
