A smart label is provided that can be affixed on or integrated in an object. The smart label is able to provide an electrical signal indicative of the applied pressure or force and/or the position of the applied pressure or force at a touch point on the object to which the label is affixed.
The smart label comprises a layer structure (1) and a detector system (2). The layer structure (1) comprises at least a stack of a first, a second and a third layer (L1,L2,L3), whereby the first and third layers (L1,L3) each comprise a flexible, electrically conductive or semiconductive material and at least two electrodes (E) for connecting the layers to the detector system (2).
The second layer (L2) comprises a flexible, deformable and compressible material and separates the first and third layers (L1,L3). The second layer (L2) is electrically nonconductive or electrically conductive but less conductive than the first and third layers (L1,L3).
The at least two electrodes (E) from the first and third layers (L1,L3) are arranged along one side of the layer structure (1).
