The first conductive patterns and the second conductive pattern portion are flexible.

A touch pad for an electronic device is provided. The touch pad includes a circuit board member; and a detection member mounted in at least one area of the circuit board member to detect a user's contact, wherein the detection member includes a plurality of film layers; and detection patterns disposed on at least two adjacent film layers, among the plurality of film layers, so as to be misaligned with each other, wherein the detection patterns at least partially overlap each other.

A touch control device includes at least one sensing unit that includes an electrically insulating and light transmissive substrate, multiple mutually electrically insulating touch control electrode structures spacedly disposed on a same side of the substrate, and at least one dummy electrode set disposed on the substrate and located between adjacent ones of the touch control electrode structures. The dummy electrode set forms a groove that extends from a top side thereof through to the substrate and including a plurality of dummy electrode structures that are dividedly defined by said groove. The groove extends between the adjacent ones of the touch control electrode structures and forms at least one bent.

This steering device of a vehicle includes: a steering wheel with a rim portion connected to a spoke portion extending from a hub portion; and a capacitance type of contact sensor that detects a grip of the steering wheel by a driver on the basis of a change in capacitance, wherein the contact sensor includes a detection electrode which is installed in the rim portion to sense a change in capacitance of the rim portion, and a conductive member which is disposed in a region of the spoke portion on a side facing the driver and one end portion of which is in contact with the detection electrode of the rim portion.

The present disclosure provides an optical sensing device, including: a storage circuitry being coupled to a charging circuitry, a photosensitive circuitry, and a voltage-readout circuitry, the storage circuitry storing a voltage value; the charging circuitry being coupled to the storage circuitry for charging the storage circuitry; the photosensitive circuitry being connected to a first terminal for discharging the storage circuitry to the first terminal; and the voltage-readout circuitry being connected to the storage circuitry, for reading the voltage value of the storage circuitry.

In a touch sensor unit, since a base portion is provided with a hard resin portion for holding a curved state of a sensor portion deformed in conformity to a curved shape of a door frame of a tail gate, even when the base portion is not fixed to the tail gate, it is possible to hold the curved state of the base portion. Therefore, after the curved base portion is fixed to the tail gate with a double-sided adhesive tape, even if the double-sided adhesive tape is degraded with age, a restoring force of the sensor portion does not remove the double-sided adhesive tape.

An actuator for controlling the operation of an apparatus comprises a panel (16) and an acoustic sensor (26). The panel provides a partition within a building structure, while the acoustic sensor is adapted to detect acoustic waves propagating through the panel. When a user exerts pressure against the panel, the sensor detects the acoustic waves that are formed and emits signals for controlling the operation of an apparatus, such as a doorbell, a light source, a television, a sound system, a ventilation system, a window blind, a radio or an alarm.

A vehicle trim element that includes at least one supporting layer having an internal face and an external face, and a skin having an internal face and an external face. The internal face of the skin covers the external face of the supporting layer in at least one detection area. The supporting layer has a through-orifice extending from the internal face to the external face of the supporting layer. At least one detection element is located in the through-orifice. The detection element is in constant contact with the portion of the internal face of the skin covering the through-orifice of the supporting layer.

To provide a sensor panel and a sensor sheet, in which a conductive fine line and a silhouette of the conductive fine line is difficult to be seen through a display portion during illumination and in which the visibility of the display portion during illumination is good. A light diffusion layer is provided on the sensor sheet, the light diffusion layer diffusing a light of an internal light source L and transmitting the light to sensor electrodes.

Disclosed herein are optical stacks that are stable to light exposure by incorporating one or more UV-blocking layers.
