(9) the color displaying layer 2 displays corresponding colors according to the operation conditions of the color sacs, and each color corresponds to a set pressure value.

(10) For the pressure sensitive film provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the color displaying layer in the pressure sensitive film may display corresponding colors according to the operation conditions of the color sacs in different pressure-bearing ranges, realizing effective monitoring of the device pressure by determining the device pressure ranges according to the different colors; the flatness of the device is determined by the evenness of colors of the tested regions, thus combining the pressure test and flatness test, and making the routine device pressure monitoring more convenient.

(11) Optionally, the substrate 1 is an elastic base film, which can bear device pressure and remain undeformed.

(12) Therein, the elastic base film optionally uses a polyester base film. This material has very good elasticity and is economical. Of course, apart from using the polyester material to manufacture the base film, other materials having the same or similar properties to the polyester material may also be used.

(13) The color forming layer comprises a plurality of evenly distributed color forming units; evenly setting a plurality of color forming units can improve the accuracy of detection of the flatness of the surface of the pressure sensitive film that the pressure applying device contacts.

(14) In this embodiment, each color forming unit optionally comprises three color sacs: a first color sac 4, a second color sac 5, and a third color sac 6, which have a first pressure-bearing threshold A, a second pressure-bearing threshold O, and a third pressure-bearing threshold B respectively; the first pressure-bearing threshold is smaller than the third pressure-bearing threshold, and the second pressure-bearing threshold is the average value of the first pressure-bearing threshold and the third pressure-bearing threshold.

(15) Therein, when the pressure on substrate 1 reaches the first pressure-bearing threshold A, the first color sac breaks to provide the first color; when the pressure on substrate 1 reaches the second pressure-bearing threshold O, the first color sac 4 and the second color sac 5 break to provide the first color and the second color respectively; when the pressure on substrate 1 reaches the third pressure-bearing threshold B, the first color sac 4, the second color sac 5, and the third color sac 6 all break to provide the first color, the second color, and the third color respectively.

(16) Therein, when the first color sac 4 breaks, the color displaying layer 2 displays the first color; when the first color sac 4 and the second color sac 5 break, the color displaying layer 2 display a mixed color of the first color and the second color; when the first color sac 4, the second color sac 5, and the third color sac 6 all break, the color displaying layer 2 displays a mixed color of the first color, the second color, and the third color.

(17) In practical operation, the three colors of the first color sac 4, the second color sac 5, and the third color sac 6 need to be designed as distinctively different colors, thus monitoring of the device pressure is realized by the color changes displayed on the pressure sensitive film.

(18) In this embodiment, the first color, the second color, and the third color to which the first color sac 4, the second color sac 5, and the third color 6 correspond respectively are red, green and blue respectively.

(19) Specifically, when the first color 4 breaks, the color displaying layer 2 displays red color a; when the first color sac 4 and the second color sac 5 break, the color displaying layer 2 displays a mixed color of yellow color o of red and green colors; when the first color sac 4, the second color sac 5, and the third color sac 6 all break, the color displaying layer 2 displays a mixed color of dark gray b of red, green and blue colors.

(20) Setting the first color sac 4, the second color sac 5, and the third color sac 6 as red, green and blue colors may get a mixed color yellow of red and green colors, and a mixed color of dark gray of red, green and blue colors; thus the contrast of the colors is further increased, and it is easier to identify different pressure ranges, and effective monitoring of the device pressure is realized.

(21) Of course, the specific colors of the first color sac 4, the second color sac 5, and the third color sac 6 can be set according to actual needs, as long as the colors of particles in the three color sacs and the colors of the mixed colors have great contrast.

(22) With the pressure applied on the device increasing gradually, the color change trend of the pressure sensitive film is as shown in FIG. 2; the device pressure range is determined by the actual colors of the pressure sensitive film, and the device flatness is determined according to the evenness of the colors of the pressure sensitive film.

(23) If the colors on the pressure sensitive film are similar to each other, it means that the values of the pressures applied on the device are close to each other, and thus it means that the flatness of the device is good; otherwise, it means that the device flatness is not good, i.e., the pressure value differences are great.

(24) As shown in FIG. 3, the present disclosure also provides a manufacturing method of a pressure sensitive film, comprising:

(25) Step S1: providing a substrate, a surface of the substrate being for bearing pressure;

When the pressure borne reaches the first pressure-bearing threshold, the first color sac breaks to provide the first color. When the pressure borne reaches the second pressure-bearing threshold, the first color sac and the second color sac break to provide the first color and the second color respectively; when the pressure borne reaches the third pressure-bearing threshold, the first color sac, the second color sac and the third color sac all break to provide the first color, the second color and the third color. When the first color sac breaks, the color displaying layer displays the first color; when the first color sac and the second color sac break, the color displaying layer displays a mixed color of the first color and the second color; when the first color, the second color sac, and the third color sac all break, the color displaying layer displays a mixed color of the first color, the second color, and the third color.

(30) Optionally, the first color, the second color, and the third color are red, green and blue, respectively.
