    摘要: The force or pressure sensor array of the present invention effectively has both flexibility and elasticity. Since the substrate itself is a kind of a polymer material, the substrate can be bent or expanded. Although silicon, which is a material of the semiconductor strain gauge, is easily broken and solid, mechanical flexibility can be secured if it is fabricated extremely thin. To this end, particularly, disclosed is a flexible force or pressure sensor array using semiconductor strain gauges 110, the sensor array comprising: a substrate 10 including: the semiconductor strain gauges 110 in which a plurality of elements formed in a certain array pattern is deformed by force or pressure, a pair of polymer film layers 120 and 130 having film surfaces contacted facing each other and containing the semiconductor strain gauge 110 between the film surfaces contacted with each other, and a pair of signal line layers formed on top and bottom surfaces of an insulating layer using either of the pair of polymer film layers 120 and 130 as the insulating layer and connected to the elements 111 of the array pattern to form electrodes, for fetching deformation signals outputted due to deformation of the elements 111 to outside; and a pair of elastomer layers 20 and 30 formed on both sides of the substrate 10 to contain the substrate 10 inside.

    摘要: A method for implementing a mouse algorithm using a plurality of pressure sensors is disclosed. The pressure sensors are used to freely move and rotate a mouse cursor in X, Y and Z directions, so that they can be applied as interface units for a slim device such as a mobile phone. The mouse algorithm processes a touch input. The pressure sensors are arranged in a ring shape and provide output values successively varying with magnitudes of forces applied thereto or pressures applied thereto. A moving direction of the mouse cursor is determined depending on a contact point detected through the output values and a moving distance and moving speed of the mouse cursor are determined in proportion to the magnitudes of the forces.
