  • Patent number: 10620064
    Abstract: A pressure sensor is disclosed. The pressure sensor includes a common electrode, a plurality of individual electrodes, a plurality of thin-film transistors and a common pressure-sensitive layer. The common electrode is formed as a layer. The plurality of individual electrodes are arranged in a matrix opposing the common electrode. The plurality of thin-film transistors are respectively located corresponding to the individual electrodes on sides of the individual electrodes opposite to the common electrode, where one or two or more adjacent thin-film transistors are connected to one individual electrode. The common pressure-sensitive layer is disposed on a surface of the common electrode on a side facing the plurality of individual electrodes. The plurality of individual electrodes include a first electrode, and a second electrode that is thicker than the first electrode and therefore creates a smaller gap from the common pressure-sensitive layer than the first electrode.

  • Patent number: 10605679
    Abstract: A pressure sensor is disclosed. The pressure sensor includes a common electrode, sensitized electrodes, mountain-shaped pressure-sensitive layers, and thin-film transistors. The common electrode is formed as a layer. The sensitized electrodes are arranged in a matrix opposing the common electrode. The mountain-shaped pressure-sensitive layers are respectively formed over the sensitized electrodes on a side close to the common electrode. The thin-film transistors are disposed to correspond to the sensitized electrodes on sides of the sensitized electrodes opposite to the common electrode.

  • Patent number: 10527938
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a method for producing an electrical wiring member having a layered structure of copper wiring and a blackening layer and to provide the electrical wiring member through a search for a material for the blackening layer, the material being etched at a rate close to that for the copper wiring under conditions where etching controllability is ensured. [Solution] A method for producing an electrical wiring member according to the present invention includes a step of forming, on at least one main surface of a substrate, a layered film 6 of a Cu layer 3 and CuNO-based blackening layers (2a and 2b); a step of forming a resist layer 4a in a predetermined region on the layered film 6; and a step of removing a partial region of the layered film 6 by bringing the layered film 6 into contact with an etchant.
