Therefore, since a large contact area can be obtained when compressing the pressure sensitive layer, it is possible to obtain a pressure detection unit having excellent current-carrying characteristics.
- a load transmission member that applies a concentrated load to the pressure-sensitive layer is provided on an outer surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate. There is a point.
- the load transmission member supports the pressure detection unit and receives the load from the outside without being dispersed, and the load is reliably received by the pressure-sensitive layer. To communicate.

- An eighth characteristic configuration of the pressure detection unit according to the present invention is a pressure detection unit that is disposed at a peripheral portion of the panel member in the information input device and detects a pressing operation on the panel member, the first substrate, A second substrate disposed opposite the first substrate, a pressure sensitive layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a change in resistance via the pressure sensitive layer are detected.
- a load transmission member that applies a concentrated load to the layer, and when the pressure detection unit is pressed, the normal direction of the panel member is viewed with respect to a pressure-sensitive region formed by compressing the pressure-sensitive layer.
- a portion of the edge of the load transmitting member overlaps the pressure sensitive region. And, the other edge is a point that is configured so as not to overlap with the pressure sensitive region.
- the first substrate or the second substrate When the pressure detection unit is pressed, the first substrate or the second substrate receives a local load by the load transmitting member. A certain amount of bending deformation occurs in the panel member, and the posture of the panel member changes in the cross-sectional view from the side even at the periphery of the panel member. Along with this, the posture of the first substrate or the second substrate also changes. As a result, the contact posture of the load transmission member with respect to the first substrate or the second substrate changes.

That is, for example, there is no need to configure the load transmitting member so as to extend from the portion of the connecting portion toward the pressure-sensitive region and further extend beyond the load-sensitive member. Rather, since the member that restrains the first substrate or the second substrate is eliminated by not projecting the load transmitting member excessively, the degree of freedom of deformation at the portion increases. As a result, the first substrate or the like can be bent and deformed more greatly, and the amount of pressure-sensitive region pushed by a part of the edge of the load transmitting member is increased. In this way, a pressure detection unit with better detection characteristics can be obtained.
- a part of the other edge portion of the load transmission member is the panel with respect to the pressure sensitive region.

- a pressure-sensitive layer is formed on the second electrode as necessary.
- the pressure-sensitive layers or the pressure-sensitive layer and the electrode do not contact each other between the planes.

Abstract
Description
前記パネル部材の法線方向視において、前記荷重伝達部材の前記その他の縁部のうちの一部が前記接続部と重畳している点にある。
そこで、本構成のごとく、パネル部材の法線方向視において、荷重伝達部材の縁部の一部を感圧領域と重畳させることで、荷重伝達部材の縁部が角部となり、この部分によって感圧層を確実に押圧することができる。
ことができる。
図1、図2に示すように、情報入力装置1は、前面に開口部2Aなどが形成された筐体2に、液晶又は有機ELなどの表示部3Aを有する表示装置3、接触式の情報入力機能を有するパネル部材4を備えて構成されている。
本実施形態では、図6に示すように、圧力検出部20は、パネル部材4の側に枠状の第1基板21が配置され、第1基板21に対向しつつ支持部2bの側に枠状の第2基板22が配置されている。第1基板21には第1電極21Aがパネル部材4の内側寄りに配置され、第1電極21Aは第1通電膜21Bによって被覆されている。一方、第2基板22には第2電極22Aがパネル部材4の外側寄りに設けられ、第2電極22Aは第2通電膜22Bによって被覆されている。さらに、第2通電膜22Bは感圧層23である感圧インク23aによって被覆されている。
本実施形態では、図7に示すように、圧力検出部20は、第1通電膜21Bを感圧層23で被覆するように構成されている。感圧層23の感圧領域Zは、第1通電膜21Bと第2通電膜22Bとの間に位置し、第1電極21Aが感圧領域Zから第1基板21に沿う方向に外れる位置に設けられている。圧力検出部20には、第2基板22の外面に支持部2bと当接して感圧層23に集中荷重を作用させる荷重伝達部材25として、バンプ25aを設けている。バンプ25aは感圧領域Zに重畳するように配置されており、圧力検出部20にパネル部材4から荷重が加わったとき、バンプ25aが圧力検出部20を下方から支持し、当該荷重を集中して感圧層23に伝達する(図8)。
図9に示すように、圧力検出部20は、第2通電膜22Bを感圧層23で被覆して、上記の実施形態とは反対に、第2電極22Aを感圧領域Zに重畳しない位置に設ける構成にしてもよい。
圧力検出部20は、図10に示すように、第1電極21Aをパネル部材4の中央寄り、第2電極22Aをパネル部材4の反中央寄りに互い違いに配置し、第1電極21Aを被覆する第1通電膜21Bには反中央側に向けて延出する第1延出部21b、第2通電膜22Bは中央側に向けて延出する第2延出部22bを有する。第1通電膜21Bと第2通電膜22Bとを上下に略平行に配置し、第2延出部22bの一部を感圧層23で被覆して、感圧領域Zを第1延出部21bと第2延出部22bとの間に配置された感圧層23とする。その結果、圧力検出部20は、第1電極21A及び第2電極22Aを感圧領域Zに重畳しない位置に設けることとなる。
圧力検出部20は、図11に示すように、第1電極21Aをパネル部材4の中央寄り、第2電極22Bをパネル部材4の反中央寄りに互い違いに配置して、第1電極21Aを被覆する第1通電膜21Bには反中央側に向けて延出する第1延出部21b、第2通電膜22Bは中央側に向けて延出する第2延出部22bを有する。ここで、第1通電膜21Bと第2通電膜22Bとを上下にお互いの延出部21b、22bのみが重なりあるように配置し、第2延出部22bの一部を感圧層23で被覆して、感圧領域Zを第1延出部21bと第2延出部22bとの間に配置された感圧層23とし、双方の電極21A,22Aを感圧領域Zに重畳しない位置に設ける。
さらに、図12に示すように、第1電極21A及び第2電極22Aの対向面に感圧層23が配置されないように構成すると、第1電極21Aと第2通電膜22B、及び第2電極22Aと第1通電膜21Bとの接触をより確実に回避することができる。
圧力検出部20は、図13に示すように、パネル部材4の側に枠状の第1基板21が配置され、第1基板21に対向しつつ支持部2bの側に枠状の第2基板22が配置されている。第1基板21には第1電極21Aが配置され、第2基板22には、第2電極22Aが配置されている。第1電極21Aは上部感圧インク23aによって被覆されており、第2電極22Aは下部感圧インク23bによって被覆されている。電極21A,22Aは、それぞれ通電膜21B,22Bに被覆されていてもよい。また、感圧層23は、感圧インクを1層にして構成してもよい。
圧力検出部20が、第1基板21と第2基板22とが、感圧領域Zとは異なる位置において接続部24によって互いに接続されていると、パネル部材4に押圧力が作用して第1基板及び第2基板が相互に押し付けられる際に、接続部24があたかも節目のように作用し、第1基板と第2基板とが互いに近接し難くなる場合がある。
本実施形態では、図16に示すように、パネル部材4の法線方向視において、荷重伝達部材25の縁部25Aの一部が感圧領域Zと重畳し、その他の縁部25Bのうちの一部が感圧領域Zに対してパネル部材4の外縁側に位置する。また、パネル部材4の外縁において、第1基板21の縁部と、接続部24と、第2基板22の縁部と、荷重伝達部材25のその他の縁部のうちの一部25Bが重畳配置されている。第1基板21の縁部から荷重伝達部材25の縁部25Bまでをパネル部材4の最も外側に配置する。
本実施形態では、図17に示すように、圧力検出部20は、第1基板21に第1電極21Aがパネル部材4の内側寄りに配置され、第2基板22に第2電極22Aがパネル部材4の外側寄りに設けられている。つまり、第1電極21A及び第2電極22Aが、第1基板21及び第2基板22の法線上において対向しない位置に設けてある。第1電極21Aは感圧層23である上部感圧インク23aによって被覆されている。一方、第2電極22Aは感圧層23である下部感圧インク23bによって被覆されている。
図18に示すように、圧力検出部20は、第1基板21に第1電極21Aがパネル部材4の内側寄りに配置され、第1電極21Aは第1通電膜21Bによって被覆されている。一方、第2基板22に第2電極22Aがパネル部材4の外側寄りに設けられ、第2電極22Aは第2通電膜22Bによって被覆されている。つまり、本実施形態においても、第1電極21A及び第2電極22Aが、第1基板21及び第2基板22の法線上において対向しない位置に設けてある。さらに、第1通電膜21Bは感圧層23である感圧インク23aによって被覆されている。
(1)情報入力装置1において、周縁部4Aが固定されたパネル部材4を押圧操作すると、パネル部材4のたわみにより周縁部4Aが浮き上がろうとする。この浮き上がり挙動は、周縁部4Aに配置されている圧力検出部20の精度を低下させるおそれがある。そこで、図19に示す情報入力装置1は、パネル部材4の隅角部4Bが筐体2から浮き上がることを防止する浮き上がり防止機構を備える。圧力検出部20は、矩形状のパネル部材4の周縁部4aの隅角部4bを除く長辺上に3個ずつ、短辺上に1個ずつ配置されている。ただし、圧力検出部20の配置形態や配置個数はこれに限られず、例えば隅角部4Bに圧力検出部20を設けること等も可能である。尚、隅角部4Bとはパネル部材4の角から一定の範囲を示す。例えば、パネル部材4の角から、パネル部材4の中央とこの中央から最も近くにある圧力検出部20とを結ぶ直線距離の1/4の距離の範囲とすること等が可能である。
接続部24の厚みを、例えば、感圧部分(電極、通電膜、及び感圧層)の厚みより薄くした非弾性のスペーサ(基板21、22との接着層を含む、接着剤単体でも可)で構成する。こうすると、第1基板21または第2基板22の変形が許容される場合に、第1基板21または第2基板22により圧力検出部20に予め設定した圧力が初期荷重として付与される。接続部24は、弾性を有する粘着性接着剤や両面粘着材であってもよいし、引張り力を発揮する状態に設定されているゴム、引っ張りコイルばね、板ばね等の各種の弾性部材であってもよい。
