  • Publication number: 20240201411
    Abstract: A capacitance sensor made of a plurality of layers includes: a first layer including a first electrode; and a second layer including a second electrode and arranged to face the first layer, wherein at least one of the first layer and the second layer is an elastomer layer which is a dielectric and is made of an elastically deformable elastomer, and the elastomer layer is bonded by an adhesion layer formed by applying an elastomer in a pre-curing state that is a material identical to the first layer or the second layer and curing the elastomer.

  • Publication number: 20230408348
    Abstract: An electrostatic capacity sensor 1 capable of expanding a force detectable region includes an upper electrode 11, a lower electrode 11 for detecting electrostatic capacity C between the lower electrode 11 and the upper electrode 11, and a base material 12 having dielectric properties and elasticity and disposed between upper and lower electrodes 11 and 11. An upper base material layer portion 12a and a lower base material layer portion 12b of the base material 12 are configured such that elastic deformation amounts when the same force is applied are different from each other.
