Misung Polytech - Development of Haptic Button with PVDF-Based polymer Film

Conventional Haptic Devices

Fretting – Vibration Principle

1) Voltage application between The Top electrode and The Bottom electrode

2) When the finger presses on the cover, the piezoelectric polymer will make contact with the Bottom electrode.

3) Local electric field generation

4) The piezoelectric polymer shrinks and expands

5) Generating an electric field changes due to changes in the contact area

6) Piezoelectric polymer vibration amplification

The Fretting vibration will be able to Maximize vibration by optimizing the protective film of the piezoelectric polymer membrane, the thickness

of the cover, the size and spacing of the dot spacer, the thickness of the piezoelectric polymer film.
