  • Patent number: 11793083
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a vibration sensor in which the frequency dependence of the output is small. The present invention provides a vibration sensor 1 comprising: a support 2; an organic piezoelectric material 3 deformably disposed in or on the support 2; and an electrode 4 for extracting an electrical signal generated by deformation of the organic piezoelectric material 3, the electrode 4 being formed on the organic piezoelectric material 3, the organic piezoelectric material 3 comprising a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and one or more monomers copolymerizable with vinylidene fluoride.

  • Publication number: 20230069063
    Abstract: An object is to provide a fluorine-containing polymer film. The object can be achieved by a fluorine-containing polymer film having a thermal shrinkage of 0.4% or less after being heated at 90° C. for 1 hour, and having a relative permittivity of 3 to 50 at 25° C. at 1000 Hz, or a fluorine-containing polymer film having a crystallinity of 50% or more and an elongation at break of 400% or more.

  • Patent number: 11424402
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a bimorph-type piezoelectric film that is less susceptible to the influence of pyroelectric noise resulting from temperature changes, and that makes it possible to provide a pressure-sensitive sensor or the like. The present invention provides a bimorph-type piezoelectric film comprising a first pyroelectric film having piezoelectric anisotropy in an in-plane direction, and a second pyroelectric film having piezoelectric anisotropy in an in-plane direction, the first pyroelectric film and the second pyroelectric film being disposed in such a manner that their surfaces on which electric charges of the same polarity are generated by a temperature increase are each outward-facing.
