This article explains the principle behind flexible pressure sensors, which use ultra-thin films and nanometre pressure-sensitive layers to convert applied pressure into measurable resistance.
Principle
The 7 flexible pressure sensors are made of ultra-thin film of excellent mechanical property, excellent conductive materials and nanometre pressure sensitive layers. There are thin film and pressure sensitive layer on the upper layer of the sensor, and thin film and conductive circuit on the lower layer. These two layers are glued together by double sided tape. When outside pressure applies to the active area, the disconnected circuit of the lower layer will be connected through the pressure sensitive layer of the upper layer, by which to convert pressure into resistance. The output resistance decreases as pressure increases.
