  • Publication number: 20160026297
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a sensor device capable of detecting an operation position and a pressing force with high accuracy. [Solution] A sensor device includes a first conductor layer, an electrode substrate, and a plurality of first structural bodies configured to separate the first conductor layer from the electrode substrate. At least one of the first conductor layer and the electrode substrate has flexibility. The electrode substrate includes a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes intersecting the plurality of first electrodes. At least one of the first and second electrodes includes a plurality of sub-electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20160011691
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a sensor device capable of detecting an operation position and pressing force with high accuracy. [Solution] A sensor device includes a first conductor layer having flexibility, a second conductor layer, an electrode substrate that is provided between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer and has flexibility, a plurality of first structural bodies that separate the first conductor layer and the electrode substrate, and a plurality of second structural bodies that separate the electrode substrate and the second conductor layer. The electrode substrate includes a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes that intersect the plurality of first electrodes. A plurality of unit regions are provided to correspond to respective intersections between the first electrodes and the second electrodes. At least two of the first structural bodies and/or at least two of the second structural bodies are included in each unit region.
