Abstract: Piezo-actuated structures are disclosed and haptic-enabled devices employing piezo-actuated structures are disclosed. One embodiment of a piezo-actuated structure comprises a non-traveling deformable layer, a backer structure that partitions the deformable layer into a set of substantially isolated haptic regions, a set of user sensors that are capable of detecting user interactions with at least one of the substantially isolated haptic regions. In another embodiment, a haptic-enabled device comprises a touch sensitive surface that comprises a deformable layer and set of substantially isolated haptic regions. The haptic-enabled device is capable of sending control signals to the isolated haptic region with which the user is interacting. The set of substantially isolated haptic regions may affect a number of special haptic experiences for the user of the device. Such special haptic experiences comprise a single hand (left and/or right) haptic event, a single user finger haptic event.
