20170262110 | HYBRID FORCE SENSOR - An input device includes an input surface, electrodes configured to sense input objects in a sensing region overlapping the input surface, a compressible layer, and a display separated from a housing by the compressible layer. The input device further includes at least one force sensing electrodes configured to sense force applied to the input surface. The compressible layer has local material densities that are proportional to the bending properties of the display in response to force applied to the input surface. | 2017-09-14 |
20170262111 | TOUCH CONTROL ELASTIC STRUCTURE, PRESSURE DETECTION METHOD AND DISPLAY DEVICE - A touch control elastic structure, a pressure detection method and a display device are disclosed. The touch control elastic structure is adaptable to be disposed between a cover plate and an internal supporting structure, and includes a force touch base layer, an elastic layer and a force touch sensor layer which are sequentially laminated; the force touch sensor layer is disposed on one side of the elastic layer facing the internal supporting structure, or the force touch base layer is disposed on one side of the elastic layer facing the internal supporting structure. | 2017-09-14 |
