    Abstract: A pressure detection module may be provided that includes: a first electrode and a second electrode which are located on an insulation layer; and an elastic foam. The elastic foam is located between the first and the second electrodes and a reference potential layer located apart from the pressure detection module. A capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode is changed according to a relative distance change between the reference potential layer and the first and the second electrodes through a transformation of the elastic foam. A magnitude of a pressure which causes the elastic foam to be transformed is detected according to the capacitance change.

    Abstract: A sensitivity compensation method of a touch input device sensing a touch pressure may be provided. The sensitivity compensation method includes: defining reference points spaced apart from each other on a touch sensor panel; generating a reference data corresponding to an electrical characteristic sensed by applying a predetermined pressure to the reference points; generating, on the basis of the reference data, an interpolated data corresponding to an electrical characteristic for a random point present between the reference points; calculating, on the basis of the generated reference data and interpolated data, with respect to the reference point and random point respectively, a compensation factor for compensating a sensitivity of the touch input device to a target value; and compensating uniformly for the sensitivity of the touch input device by applying the calculated compensation factor to each corresponding points.
