Abstract: In an example, an input device includes a substrate and an elastomeric material. The substrate includes a plurality of sensor electrodes disposed thereon. The elastomeric material is mechanically coupled to the substrate and overlaps the plurality of sensor electrodes. The elastomeric material includes an inner portion disposed such that an area of contact between the inner portion and at least some of the plurality of sensor electrodes changes in response to at least one of a lateral force or a vertical force applied to the elastomeric material.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a display device that includes a display substrate coupled to a frame. A stiffener substrate is also coupled to the frame. A first force sensing element is disposed on the stiffener substrate, and the stiffener substrate is disposed between the first force sensing element and the display substrate. The display device also includes a second force sensing element, where a distance between the first force sensing element and the second force sensing element decreases when the display substrate is deflected.
