A touchpad and its force-sensing data correction method are provided. The touchpad has a force-sensing layer and a touch-sensing layer. The force-sensing layer has multiple force-sensing points. The touch-sensing layer has multiple touch-sensing points. One force-sensing point corresponds to n touch-sensing points. The force-sensing information received by the force-sensing layer is adjusted by using the touch-sensing information received by the touch-sensing layer, so that the resolution of the adjusted force-sensing information is higher than the resolution of the original received force-sensing information. In this way, the purpose of calibrating the force-sensing information is achieved, so as to improve the accuracy of determining the force applied by the object during the operation of the touchpad.

The invention relates to a touch surface comprising: a carrier substrate (510, 610) comprising 2 opposite faces (511, 512) one (511) of the faces being exposed to touch; and comprising on the face (512) opposite the face (511) exposed to touch, a combined proximity and force sensor (300) comprising: an insulating substrate (210); —conductive tracks (221, 222) deposited on said substrate (210) and configured to produce a capacitive sensor; a force sensor (230) consisting of an assembly of conductive nanoparticles in colloidal suspension in an electrically insulating ligand; a protective layer (310) covering the conductive tracks and the nanoparticle assembly.

The invention also relates to a method for detecting and measuring the force applied by a touch against such a touch surface.

A touch panel includes a cover panel, a touch sensor substrate in which a sensor electrode for detecting a position of a pointing object is disposed in a detection region, an adhesive agent being disposed between the cover panel and the touch sensor substrate, a first electrode being disposed in an outer region of a region corresponding to the detection region of a second surface of the cover panel, and a second electrode being disposed to overlap a part of the first electrode in plan view in an outer region of the detection region of a third surface of the touch sensor substrate.

A capacitive pressure sensor is provided. The capacitive pressure sensor comprises a dielectric layer, a light-transmitting first electrode, a second electrode, a display layer and a measuring device. The dielectric layer is made of a foam. The first electrode is disposed on a first surface of the dielectric layer, wherein a pressure is applied to the first electrode. The second electrode is disposed on a second surface of the dielectric layer opposite to the first surface. The second electrode includes a plurality of unit electrodes having a predetermined shape. The display layer is disposed between the first electrode and the dielectric layer or between the second electrode and the dielectric layer. The measuring device is configured to detect a measurement value of a capacitance of the dielectric layer for each unit electrode by causing a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode.

A flexible substrate, a touch display substrate, manufacturing methods thereof, and a touch display device are provided. The flexible substrate includes: a first flexible base substrate; a first buffer layer arranged on the first flexible base substrate; a first pressure sensing electrode arranged on the first buffer layer; and a second flexible base substrate covering the first pressure sensing electrode. The first pressure sensing electrode is capable of forming a pressure sensing capacitor with a second pressure sensing electrode arranged at a side of the second flexible base substrate away from the first pressure sensing electrode.

A touch panel equipment for air conditioning has a plurality of electrodes arranged in two-dimensional matrix, a touch sensing IC for scanning capacitance of the electrodes, and a touch panel controller for deciding a touch position from the capacitance sensed by said touch sensing IC. The touch panel controller resets the touch sensing IC when the capacitance of the electrodes located in a check area is not changed during predetermined threshold timings, and does not reset the touch sensing IC when the capacitance of the electrodes located in the check area is changed within the threshold timings. As the touch panel controller resets the touch sensing IC due to the change of the capacitance value of the electrodes located in the check area, the resetting operation is operated automatically so that the touch panel equipment could avoid the user's external work.

Provided is a sensor including a sensor electrode unit including: a sensing unit of a capacitance type that detects pressing; and a temperature detection sensing unit of a capacitance type provided in an area corresponding to the sensing unit.
