  • the highly-integrated high-performance tactile sense providing actuator 300 generates both small and high displacements and transfers both a delicate surface texture and a relatively high tactile sense to a user.
  • the tactile sense feedback apparatus includes a first voltage supply unit for supplying voltage to the first and second electrode layers 110 and 120 of the projection creation unit 130 configuring the tactile sense providing actuator 300, a second voltage supply unit for supplying voltage to electrode layers 2 of the actuating unit 200, a first control unit for adjusting an interval of applying voltage to the electrode layers by controlling the first voltage supply unit, and a second control unit for adjusting an interval of applying voltage to the electrode layers by controlling the second voltage supply unit.
  • the first control unit and the second control unit adjust the voltage interval of a resonance frequency pulse within the temporal acuity of human tactile sense and control the strength and interval of the tactile sense feedback. That is, the temporal acuity of human tactile sense corresponds to 5.5ms. Accordingly, although a vibration stimulus is transferred several times within the temporal acuity of human tactile sense, a person feels the stimulus only once. However, if the vibration frequency is high within the temporal acuity of human tactile sense, i.e., the person is stimulated several times, although the person feels the stimulus only once, a higher output force is received in proportion to the number of stimuli. Accordingly, the control unit may control the strength of stimulus by adjusting the resonance frequency within the temporal acuity.
  • FIG. 23 shows graphs showing resonance frequencies (1/T 2 ,T 2 : resonance period) and stimulus intervals T 3 in a tactile sense feedback apparatus applying a tactile sense providing actuator 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the resonance period T 2 is one third of the temporal acuity T 1 of human tactile sense
  • first control unit and the second control unit may control the stimulus interval. That is, as shown in the second from the left in FIG. 23, it is possible to stimulate three time within the temporal acuity T 1 of human tactile sense, wait for a stimulus interval T 3 of 1 or 2 seconds, and then stimulate three time again within the temporal acuity T 1 of human tactile sense.
  • first control unit and the second control unit may control strength of stimulus. That is, as shown in the third from the left in FIG.
  • the resonance frequency can be controlled within the temporal acuity T 1 of human tactile sense since a rapid response speed can be achieved by including the restoring force providing unit 220 and the magnetic force providing unit in the highly-integrated high-performance tactile sense providing actuating unit 200.
