    Abstract: A device for detecting a holding state of an object. The device includes a housing for the object that has a shape that can be held by an operator and a piezoelectric sensor attached to the housing. Moreover, a detecting unit can detects a holding state of the housing by using a fluctuation amount of an output voltage of the piezoelectric sensor. The housing has a shape having a hollow space and the piezoelectric sensor has a flat film shape and is disposed in contact with an inner wall surface of the housing. The piezoelectric film produces charges when stretched and contracted in response to a displacement of the housing that are outputted as a voltage to the detecting unit. When detecting that the output voltage significantly fluctuates, the detecting unit identifies that the object is being held.

    Abstract: A pressure sensor that includes a piezoelectric film having a flat part and a curved part and having opposed first and second main surfaces, a first electrode on the first main surface of the piezoelectric film, and a second electrode on the second main surfaces of the piezoelectric film. When the flat part of the piezoelectric film receives a pressing operation a first output is generated, and when the curved part of the piezoelectric film receives a pressing operation a second output different from the first output is generated.

    Abstract: A display device includes a housing, an operation surface, a position sensor, a press sensor, and a display unit. The position sensor detects a touched position on the operation surface. The press sensor detects a press on the operation surface. The display unit displays an image. When the press sensor detects a pressing amount not smaller than a first threshold, a control unit sets, as a rotation axis of a three-dimensional image, a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of the touched position detected in the position sensor. The control unit then rotates the three-dimensional image in accordance with the sliding direction of the touched position detected in the position sensor.

    Abstract: A touch input device that includes an operation input unit, a control unit, a memory unit and a display unit. The operation input unit includes a pressing sensor and a touch sensor. When obtaining a detected operation position (x, y) based on an operation detection signal from the touch sensor, the control unit compares a signal level DSp of a press detection signal from the pressing sensor and a first threshold THSp. When determining that the signal level DSp is larger than the first threshold THSp, the control unit reads the detected operation position (x, y) obtained immediately before the determination, and fixes the detected operation position (x, y). The control unit determines operation input contents by using the fixed detected operation position (x, y) and a pressing amount based on the signal level DSp obtained at each sampling timing.

The touch sensor includes a base material, a piezoelectric film, a plurality of first detecting conductors and a plurality of second detecting conductors. The base material is a flat plate. The piezoelectric film is made of uniaxially stretched PLLA, and is arranged on one principal surface of the base material. The first detecting conductors are arranged on a surface of the piezoelectric film opposite to the base material. The plurality of second detecting conductors are arranged on a surface opposite to the surface of the base material which abuts on the piezoelectric film. The control unit detects an operation position and a press by using detection signals outputted from the first detecting conductors and the second detecting conductors.

    Abstract: A touch input device includes a touch sensor and a wake-up control unit. The touch sensor includes a piezoelectric sensor and a detection signal generating unit. The touch sensor outputs sensing signals corresponding to displacement amount of a push and relaxation of the push of an operation surface, and a displacement direction. The detection signal generating unit outputs a displacement detection signal from the sensing signal. The wake-up control unit detects a push from a change in a voltage of the displacement detection signal. The wake-up control unit starts clocking upon detection of the push, and generates and outputs a wake-up signal when detecting relaxation of the push based on the change in the voltage of the displacement detection signal within a detection time.
