Description

Description Title of the invention: Multilayer film sensitive to touch and pressure Prior art

[0001] A multilayer touch and pressure sensitive film having a front face provided with a control surface having a plurality of control buttons, a rear face, opposite the front face, and a first group of electrodes covering a first area of ​​the front face, the first group of electrodes being arranged in a same layer, is known from document US 2021 / 0124458 A1 (hereinafter referred to as "US document '458").

[0002] = More precisely, such a multilayer film is identified by the reference 8 in the [Fig.10] of document US'458. This is a set of 16 control buttons mounted on a dashboard 49 of a vehicle. With reference to Figures 1 to 3 of the document US'458, each control button 16 has an upper electrode 10 and a lower electrode 11. The control buttons 16 share a layer 5 of piezoelectric material which is sandwiched between the su- electrodes upper 10 and lower electrodes 11. Each control button 16 is a dual-sensor which combines a capacitive touch sensor and a pressure sensor piezoelectric.

[0003] — According to document US'458, such dual sensors are advantageous compared to simple capacitive sensors (see $$ 41, 42 and 67). Thanks to the capacity of the buttons command 16 to detect not only a touch but also a pressure, it becomes possible to distinguish an accidental touch of a control button 16 from a voluntary actuation of the control button 16 by the user.

[0004] — However, this embodiment of the control buttons 16 as double sensors complicates the structure and therefore the manufacture and operation of the multilayer film 8, which increases costs. Summary

[0005] — In view of the foregoing, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a film multi-layer control button that can reliably detect an ac- voluntary operation of a control button while having a simple structure.

[0006] According to the present disclosure, this object is achieved with a multilayer film such as defined at $ |, which is characterized in that only one of the electrodes of the first group of electrodes constitutes one of the electrodes of a first piezo-pressure sensor electrical device capable of detecting pressure exerted on the first area covered by the first group of electrodes, while the other electrodes of the first group electrodes are electrodes that each form a capacitive touch sensor, each capacitive touch sensor corresponding to a control button. Indeed, the inventor has found that it is not necessary to integrate a pressure sensor into each control button to avoid involuntary commands. It is sufficient to provide a single pressure sensor for an entire group of control buttons, the control buttons can then remain simple capacitive sensors. This common pressure sensor makes it possible to detect pressure exerted on any of the control buttons in the associated group and thus to recognize a deliberate command from the user. The provision of a single pressure sensor per group of control buttons simplifies the structure of the multilayer film. The features set out in the following paragraphs may, optionally, be implemented, independently of each other or in combination with each other: the electrodes of the first group of electrodes are all located at the same height in the thickness of the multilayer film, one next to the other; the first pressure sensor is a stack including said electrode of the first group of electrodes, a second electrode and a piezo-material electric sandwiched between the two electrodes; the multilayer film further comprises a substrate which forms the front face, the first group of electrodes being printed on the substrate, preferably by screen printing; the multilayer film further comprises a second group of electrodes covering a second area of ​​the front face, only one of the electrodes of the second group of electrodes constituting one of the electrodes of a second piezoelectric pressure sensor capable of detecting pressure exerted on the second area covered by the second group of electrodes, while the other electrodes of the second group of electrodes are electrodes which each form a capacitive touch sensor, each capacitive touch sensor corresponding to a control button, the second group of electrodes being arranged in the same layer as the first group of electrodes; the first and second piezoelectric pressure sensors are connected in parallel; the multilayer film further comprises an electrical shield located between the electrodes; each electrode is made of PEDOT, and / or piezoelectric material of each pressure sensor is made of P(VDF-TrFE); the first pressure sensor has the shape of a circular pellet; The first pressure sensor is shaped like a rectangular rod. Another subject matter of the present disclosure is a vehicle trim element, comprising an interface piece defining an outer surface of the trim element and an opposing surface, the trim element further comprising a multi-layer film as defined above disposed against the opposing surface of the interface piece. The present disclosure also relates to a method for manufacturing a multilayer film as defined above, comprising the steps of providing a substrate, printing the first group of electrodes and, where appropriate, the second group of electrodes on the substrate, printing a piezoelectric polymer on one of the electrodes of the first group of electrodes and, where appropriate, on one of the electrodes of the second group of electrodes, printing a second electrode on each deposit of piezoelectric polymer, and polarizing each deposit of piezoelectric polymer, in which the printing steps are preferably carried out by screen printing. Brief description of the drawings Other features, details and advantages will become apparent upon reading the detailed description below, and upon analyzing the attached drawings, including: Fig.1 [Fig.1] is a front view of a motor vehicle dashboard comprising a multi-layer film according to the present disclosure. Fig.2 [Fig.2] is a front view of a first embodiment of a multilayer film according to the present disclosure. Fig. 3 [Fig.3] is a rear view of the multilayer film of [Fig.2]. Fig. 4 [Fig.4] is a sectional view of the multilayer film of Figures 2 and 3, along the plane indicated by arrows IV-IV in [Fig.3]. Fig.5 [Fig.5] is a rear view of a second embodiment of a multilayer film according to the present disclosure. Fig. 6 to 13 [Fig.6] to [Fig.13] illustrate the different stages of the manufacturing process of the multilayer film of Figures 2 to 4. Description of the embodiments Reference is first made to [Fig. 1]. [Fig. 1] shows an element of vehicle trim according to the present disclosure, namely a dashboard 1. The present disclosure also applies to other trim elements such as a door panel, a center console or a seat. Typically, the dashboard 1 is mounted in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, for example a motor vehicle. A central section 7 of the dashboard 1 is reserved for a plurality of devices allowing an occupant to act on certain functionalities of the vehicle. In the illustrated example, these devices include a screen 9 and adjustment buttons 15. Among these devices, there is also a touch interface 16. The touch interface 16 is located on an interface part 18 which, for example, is part of the dashboard 1. The interface part 18 defines an external surface 20 and an opposite internal surface (not visible in [Fig. 1]) of the dashboard 1. The external surface 20 may for example be made of a decorative film. By way of illustration, the interface part 18 may be made of plastic (such as polypropylene or polycarbonate), aluminum, wood, or from a flexible skin made of leather or synthetic material. The interface part 18, for example the external surface 20, is provided with icons I which indicate to the user the functionalities made available by the touch interface 16. According to the present disclosure, a multilayer film 17 is disposed against the inner surface (not visible in [Fig. 1]) of the interface part 18. In this case, it is a multilayer strip 17 which has a plurality of control buttons 19. Each control button 19 is associated with one of the icons I. Among the icons I, a pair of two pictograms can be seen on the left, namely an open padlock and a closed padlock. These two pictograms indicate to the user that the corresponding control buttons 19 are unlocking and locking buttons. A seat-shaped icon can also be seen which indicates to the user that the corresponding control button 19 is used to adjust the vehicle seats. Here, the multilayer film 17 is located below the screen 9. Here, the multilayer film 17 is a flexible sheet of elongated, substantially rectangular shape. However, the multilayer film 17 may have another shape. Generally, the shape of the multilayer film 17 will follow that of the touch interface 16. Preferably, the multilayer film 17 is for example fixed to the opposite internal surface of the interface part 18 using an adhesive. In a variant, the multilayer film 17 is fixed to the opposite internal surface by overmolding, for example during injection molding of the interface part 18. In this variant, a mold is provided whose cavity is the negative of the interface part 18 to be molded, the multilayer film 17 is placed in the cavity of the mold, together with a decorative film and opposite it, and the whole is overmolded by injecting a plastic material into the cavity. The injected plastic material fills the gap between the multilayer film 17 and the film decoration. After molding, the interface part 18 is removed from the mold, the external surface 20 of which is then constituted by the decorative film, and the opposite internal surface of which is then covered by the multilayer film 17. The multilayer film 17 is sensitive to touch and pressure. Thus, a user can perform a command by pressing with his finger on one of the control buttons 19 of the multilayer film 17, in particular via the interface part 18. The configuration of the multilayer film 17 will now be described in more detail, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. The multilayer film 17 has a front face 21, shown in [Fig. 2], and a rear face 23, shown in [Fig. 3], opposite the front face 21. Preferably, it is the front face 21 which serves for fixing the multilayer film 17 to a support, such as the interface piece 18. The front face 21 is provided with a control surface 25. This control surface 25 comprises the control buttons 19, in this case the control buttons 19.1 to 19.6. The control buttons 19 are distributed along the multilayer film 17, here along the multilayer strip. In the illustrated example, there is a first set J1 of two control buttons 19.1 and 19.2, and a second set J2 of four control buttons 19.3 to 19.6. To indicate to the user that these are two different sets of control buttons, the two sets of control buttons J1 and J2 are spaced apart from each other. The functionality associated with each control button 19 is indicated by a respective icon I (pictogram, number or word) produced at the interface part 18 of the dashboard 1 (see [Fig.1]). The multilayer film 17 comprises a main body 27 and a ribbon cable 29 connected to the main body 27. More specifically, the main body 27 has a first free end 28, and a second end 30, opposite the free end 28, from which the ribbon cable 29 extends. The main body 27 contains the control surface 25. The ribbon cable 29 makes it possible to connect the multilayer film 17 to the electronics of the vehicle. For this purpose, the ribbon cable 29 has a connection terminal section 32. The rear face 23 of the multilayer film 17, visible in [Fig. 3], is opposite the front face 21. The main body 27 is provided with a set of eight sensors. More specifically, there are two pressure sensors 31.1 31.2, as well as six capacitive touch sensors 33.1 to 33.6. Each capacitive touch sensor 33 corresponds to one of the control buttons 19. Two of the capacitive touch sensors, namely the two capacitive touch sensors 33.1 and 33.2, are located at the free end 28 of the multilayer film 17. These two capacitive touch sensors 33.1 and 33.2 form the two control buttons 19. control 19.1 and 19.2 of the first set of control buttons J1. The remaining four capacitive touch sensors 33.3 to 33.6 are arranged in a row extending from the middle of the main body 27 towards the second end 30. These four capacitive touch sensors 33.3 to 33.6 form the four control buttons 19.3 to 19.6 of the second set of control buttons J2. The pressure sensors 31.1 and 31.2 are piezoelectric sensors. The first pressure sensor 31.1 is located at the second end 30 of the main body 27, near the ribbon cable 29. The second pressure sensor 31.2 is located between the first set of control buttons J1 and the second set of control buttons J2. Here, the two pressure sensors 31.1 and 31.2 each have the shape of a circular pellet. With reference to [Fig. 4], the layered structure of the multilayer film 17 will now be described. [Fig. 4] is a longitudinal section of the multilayer film 17, as indicated in [Fig. 3] by the arrows IV — IV. In the illustrated example, the multilayer film 17 essentially consists of a stack of five layers. The first layer C1 is a substrate. The second layer C2, which is deposited on the substrate C1, is a layer with first electrodes. The third layer C3 is a piezoelectric layer. It covers only two of the first electrodes of the second layer C2. The fourth layer C4 is a layer of second electrodes. This fourth layer C4 covers only the third piezoelectric layer C3. The fifth and last layer C5 covers all of the other layers C1 to C4 and constitutes the top of the stack of layers. This last layer C5 is a protective layer made of dielectric material. The substrate which constitutes the first layer C1 is preferably flexible, that is to say it is made of a material such, and with dimensions such, that, taken in isolation, it can deform under its own weight when it is placed on two supports arranged at its most distant ends. Advantageously, the material of the substrate C1 is heat resistant up to a temperature of at least 140°C. In other words, when it is heated, the substrate C1 maintains its initial shape at least up to a temperature of 140°C. The second layer C2 of first electrodes comprises a first group El of five first electrodes 35 and a second group E2 of three first electrodes 35. In other words, the first group of electrodes El and the second group of electrodes E2 are both part of the same layer, namely the second layer C2. The first group of first electrodes El covers a first zone Z1 of the front face 21. The second group of first electrodes E2 covers a second zone Z2 of the front face 21, distinct from the first zone Z1. More pre- Specifically, the electrodes of the first group E1 form a row located deep below the front face 21, and the extent of the first zone Z1 corresponds to that of said row. Similarly, the electrodes of the second group E2 form another row also located deep below the front face 21, and the extent of the second zone Z2 corresponds to that of this other row. A single 35' of the first electrodes 35 of the first group of electrodes El constitutes one of the electrodes of the first pressure sensor 31.1. The pressure sensor 31.1 is capable of detecting a pressure exerted on the first zone Z1 covered by the first group of electrodes El. The other first electrodes 35 of the first group of electrodes El are single electrodes which each form only one of the capacitive touch sensors 33.3 to 33.6. Similarly, a single 35° of the first electrodes 35 of the second group of electrodes E2 constitutes one of the electrodes of the second pressure sensor 31.2. The second pressure sensor 31.2 is capable of detecting pressure exerted on the second zone Z2 covered by the second group of electrodes E2. The other first electrodes 35 of the second group of electrodes E2 are single electrodes which each form only one of the two capacitive touch sensors 33.1, 33.2 of the first set of control buttons J1. It should be noted that the detection field of each pressure sensor 31.1 and 31.2 is not strictly limited to the associated zone Z1, Z2. Indeed, it is not excluded to detect a pressure exerted on the second zone Z2 with the first pressure sensor 31.1 and vice versa. On the other hand, the corresponding detection signal will be significantly weaker. It will also be noted that the first electrodes 35 of the first and second groups of electrodes E1, E2 are all located at the same height h in the thickness e of the multilayer film 17, one next to the other. Here, the first and second groups of electrodes E1, E2 are arranged on the reverse side of the substrate C1, the front side of which forms the front face 21 of the multilayer film 17. Preferably, the first and second groups of electrodes E1, E2 are printed on the reverse side of the substrate C1, in particular by screen printing. Each pressure sensor 31.1 and 31.2 is here a three-level stack. The first level corresponds to one 35° of the first electrodes 35. The second level is a piezoelectric material 37 which is part of the third layer C3. The third and last level is a second electrode 39 which is part of the fourth layer C4. In each pressure sensor 31.1 and 31.2, the piezoelectric material 37 is therefore sandwiched between the two electrodes 35° and 39. The thickness of the second level with piezoelectric material 37, and therefore the thickness of the layer C3, is preferably at least 10 μm. Preferably, all of the electrodes 35, 39 of the multilayer film 17 are made of a conductive polymer such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT. Alternatively, some or all of the electrodes 35, 39 may be made of another conductive material, such as silver or carbon. The P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer will preferably be chosen to constitute the piezoelectric material 37 of the first and second pressure sensors 31.1 and 31.2. Returning to Figures 2 and 3, electrical tracks 41 are recognized which ensure the electrical connection of each of the eight sensors 31, 33 with the ribbon cable 29. Preferably, in order to reduce the number of electrical tracks 41 and to increase the pressure sensitivity, the first and second pressure sensors 31.1 and 31.2 are connected in parallel. More generally, all the pressure sensors of a multilayer film according to the present disclosure can be connected in parallel. In such a configuration, the multilayer film delivers at its output a single pressure signal which is the resultant of the individual signals generated by the pressure sensors. In other words, all the pressure sensors are then connected “in a network” in order to detect any pressure on the control surface 25, regardless of the exact location of the pressure on the control surface 25. Advantageously, an electrical shield 43 is provided between the first electrodes 35. Here, the electrical shield 43 is in the form of several grid sections bordering the first electrodes 35, without electrical contact with the first electrodes 35. Preferably, these grid sections 43 are made of silver wires. The electrical shield 43 prevents false detections by the capacitive touch sensors 33 and reduces the parasitic noise to which the sensors 31, 33 are exposed. The multilayer film 17 that has just been described operates as follows: Suppose that a user wants to unlock a feature of his vehicle. To do this, the user will press with his finger on the control button 19.1 bearing the open padlock, in particular via the interface part 18. The presence of the user's finger on the control button 19.1 will be detected by the associated capacitive touch sensor 33.1. However, this detection will only be validated if, at the same time, the associated pressure sensor 31.2 detects a deformation of the surface of the multilayer film 17. To initiate the command, the user must therefore not only touch the control button 19.1 but also exert pressure on it. This prevents untimely commands that may result from an accidental touch by the user.To minimize accidental commands, it is possible to provide a pressure threshold to be detected by the pressure sensor, below which a detection will not be validated. It should be noted that each pressure sensor 31.1 and 31.2 covers an entire zone ZI] and Z2 of the multilayer film 17. Indeed, in general, a pressure sensor, and in particular a piezoelectric pressure sensor, is capable of detecting the application of a force not only on its own surface but also in an entire sector surrounding it. The size of this surrounding sector depends in particular on the geometry of the pressure sensor and the rigidity of the multilayer film. It is therefore sufficient to provide a single pressure sensor to validate the actuation of an entire set of control buttons, as long as these control buttons remain within the perimeter of the sector covered by the pressure sensor. In summary, the number of pressure sensors in the multi-layer film can be limited to the minimum required to detect a force applied to any of the control buttons on the control surface. All the pressure sensors thus provided can even be connected in parallel to two common electrical tracks. In this case, it will not be possible, in the event of detection of an applied force, to know which of the pressure sensors detected the force. However, this information is not necessary to validate a user command. It is sufficient to know that the user has intentionally pressed, regardless of the exact location. This minimization of the number of pressure sensors and the number of electrical tracks simplifies the structure of the multi-layer film and therefore reduces its costs. With reference to [Fig. 5], a second embodiment of a multilayer film 17 according to the present disclosure will now be described. Here, we will limit ourselves to a description of the differences of this second multilayer film compared to the first multilayer film of FIGS. 2 to 4. For similar elements, reference is made to the description above. This second multilayer film 17 is different in that it comprises a single pressure sensor 31. Here, the single pressure sensor 31 has the shape of a rectangular rod, whereas in the previous embodiment, the two pressure sensors 31.1 and 31.2 have the shape of circular pellets. The rectangular piezoelectric pressure sensor 31 has an elongated shape which allows it to cover the two sets of control buttons J1 and J2. Thanks to the rectangular piezoelectric pressure sensor 31, it is therefore possible to detect pressure exerted anywhere on the control surface 25. The advantage of this second embodiment compared to the first embodiment is that a second pressure sensor is not required. On the other hand, the elongated rectangular geometry of the single pressure sensor 31 is more complicated to produce. According to other embodiments not shown, the pressure sensor(s) may have a polygonal or annular shape, or a “C” or “T” shape. With reference to Figures 6 to 13, the manufacturing process will now be described. of the multilayer film 17 of Figures 2 to 4. The first step 100, illustrated in [Fig. 6], consists of providing the substrate C1, for example in the form of a strip. Preferably, this substrate is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), for example thermostabilized PET, or polycarbonate (PC). The second step 104, illustrated in [Fig.7], consists of printing contours 45 of the pressure sensors 31 and the capacitive touch sensors 33 on the back of the substrate C1. These contours 45 are made of a conductive material, such as silver. The contours 45 each have a contact point 47 for subsequent connection to the electrical tracks 41. The third step 106 is shown in [Fig. 8]. It consists of printing the first and second groups of electrodes E1 and E2 on the back of the substrate C1, where appropriate in contact with the contours 45. Preferably, the printing is done with a PEDOT-based ink. This gives the second layer C2, see [Fig. 4]. This printing step is followed by a drying step (not shown). The drying can, for example, last two to three minutes and be carried out at a temperature of approximately 120°C. The next step 108, illustrated by [Fig. 9], consists of printing the piezoelectric polymer 37 on the first electrodes 35' of the future pressure sensors 31. This gives the layer C3, see [Fig. 4]. This step is again followed by a drying step not illustrated. The drying can last approximately 15 minutes at a temperature of approximately 120°C. Preferably, this is followed by an annealing step which can last approximately 15 minutes at a temperature of approximately 140°C. Optionally and not illustrated, step 108 may be followed by a step of printing a border of dielectric material around each deposit 37 of piezoelectric polymer. This dielectric border reduces the risk of creating a short circuit between the two electrodes of a pressure sensor 31 during step 110 of printing the second electrodes 39 described below. In the next step 110, illustrated in [Fig. 10], the second electrodes 39 of the future pressure sensors 31 are printed. Here again, PEDOT-based ink is preferably used. This produces the fourth layer C4, see [Fig. 4]. This is followed again by a drying step, preferably lasting two to three minutes at a temperature of approximately 120°C. Step 110 is followed by a step (not shown) of polarization of the piezoelectric polymer 37. The polarization can be done for example using an alternating electric field varying from a frequency of 0.01 Hz to 10 Hz with a voltage of 100 V per micrometer for a duration of approximately five minutes. We then continue with step 112, see [Fig. 11], which consists of printing the conductive tracks 41 and the electrical shielding 43 on the back of the substrate C1. Preferably, the electrical shield 43 and the tracks 41 are made of silver. The whole is then dried preferably for about 10 minutes at a temperature of about 80°C (not shown). In the next step 114, illustrated in [Fig. 12], carbon 49 is printed on the free end of the ribbon cable 29. The carbon 49 protects the ends of the electrical tracks 41 against abrasion. This step is again followed by drying preferably for about 10 minutes at about 80°C (not shown). In the last step 116, illustrated in [Fig. 13], the entire multilayer film 17, except for the terminal connection section 32 of the ribbon cable 29, is covered with a layer of dielectric to thus obtain the protective layer C5, see [Fig. 4]. It should be noted that the printing steps described above are preferably carried out by screen printing. The different layers of the multilayer film 17 are preferably at least transparent to light rays whose wavelength is between 400 and 440 nm. By “transparent” is meant a light transmission rate greater than 80%. This allows, if the multilayer film 17 is fixed to the interface part 18 by gluing, to harden the fixing adhesive by light radiation. When attaching the multilayer film 17 to the dashboard |, more precisely to the interface part 18, care will be taken to ensure that the connection between the multilayer film 17 and the interface part 18 is sufficiently strong to prevent any relative movement between the interface part 18 and the pressure sensors 31. Alternatively, it is possible to manufacture a whole batch of multi-layer films 17 at the same time. To do this, a large format sheet is provided, and the surface of this sheet is divided into a number of sections which corresponds to the number of multi-layer films 17 to be manufactured. Each surface section then corresponds to the substrate C1 of one of the future multi-layer films 17. Then, the printing steps described above are carried out for each surface section of the sheet. The final step consists of cutting the printed sheet into as many pieces as there are surface sections. Each piece thus obtained is nothing other than a multi-layer film 17.
