Abstract:
Object:To provide a pressure sensor that can provide a reduced sensation of a foreign body and that has a good sensitivity to pressure from a low load region to a high load region.Resolution means:The pressure sensor includes a variable resistor and a plurality of electrodes. The variable resistor is made of an electrically conductive foam elastomer material. The electrically conductive foam elastomer material is a material imparted with electrical conductivity by dispersing electrically conductive fillers into an elastomer material and obtained by foaming the elastomer material. The plurality of electrodes are disposed at intervals from each other on one surface in contact with the variable resistor.
