  • Publication number: 20240121892
    Abstract: A stretchable device includes a resin base member, a signal line, and a strain gauge. The resin base member includes: bodies disposed separately from each other; and hinges that couple the bodies while meandering. Each hinge includes: a base and bends. The bends include a first bend coupled to the base. The first bend includes a first inner peripheral portion and a first outer peripheral portion with respect to a center in a width direction orthogonal to a length direction in which the hinge extends. The base includes an inner peripheral coupling portion coupled to the first inner peripheral portion and an outer peripheral coupling portion coupled to the first outer peripheral portion with respect to the center in the width direction. The signal line is provided to the hinge. An imaginary center line passing through the center of the signal line overlaps the outer peripheral coupling portion.

  • Publication number: 20240121893
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a stretchable device includes: a resin base member; and a signal line and a strain gauge stacked on the resin base member. The resin base member includes: a plurality of bodies disposed separately from each other; and a plurality of hinges that couple the bodies while meandering. The hinges each include: a plurality of bends that bend and are disposed between the bodies; and a base that linearly extends to couple one of the bodies to a corresponding one of the bends. The signal line includes: a bend signal line stacked on the bends; and a base signal line stacked on the base. The base signal line has an occupied area per unit length in a length direction of the signal line larger than the bend signal line when viewed in a stacking direction in which the signal line is stacked on the resin base member.

  • Publication number: 20240114616
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a stretchable device includes: a resin base member; and a strain gauge, a signal line, and an output line stacked on the resin base member. The resin base member includes: a plurality of bodies disposed separately from each other; and a plurality of hinges that couple the bodies adjacently disposed while meandering in an intersecting direction intersecting an imaginary line that couples the bodies adjacently disposed. The hinges include a first hinge and a second hinge that couple the bodies adjacently disposed. A meander length of the second hinge in the intersecting direction is longer than a meander length of the first hinge in the intersecting direction. The strain gauge is provided to the first hinge. The signal line and the output line are provided to the second hinge.

  • Publication number: 20240019902
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a stretchable device includes: a resin base member; and an array layer stacked on the resin base member. The resin base member includes: bodies separated from each other; and hinges that couple the bodies. Each hinge includes bends. Each bend is divided into an inner peripheral portion positioned on an inner side and an outer peripheral portion positioned on an outer side with respect to a center serving as a boundary in a width direction intersecting a direction in which the bend extends. The inner peripheral portions included in one of the hinges constitute an inner peripheral region. The outer peripheral portions included in one of the hinges constitute an outer peripheral region. The array layer includes gauge lines overlapping the respective hinges. At least part of each gauge line overlaps one of the inner peripheral region and the outer peripheral region alone.
