Capacitive pressure sensor는 Piezo type sensor에 비해 온도의 영향이 적어 공업계측, 전기용품 등 그 용도가 다양하여 폭넓게 사용되어지고 있지만, 측정값의 비선형성이 존재하여 측정값에 대한 신뢰도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 capacitive pressure sensor의 비선형적 output을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 touch mode capacitive pressure sensor를 제안하였다. 또한, 실제 Device제작에 앞서 FEM 해석을 수행하였다. 2mm X 2mm 크기의 diaphragm, $25{\mu}m$의 두께, $20{\mu}m$의 gap을 갖는 Sensor를 Simulation하였으며 설계 변수를 추출하여 각각의 설계변수에 대한 해석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 15.2psi${\sim}$31psi의 영역에서 8.58pF${\sim}$54.31pF의 capacitance가 선형적으로 나타나는 sensor임을 확인하였다.

The a-InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin film transistor (TFT) has the advantages of larger mobility than that of amorphous silicon TFTs, acceptable reliability and uniformity over a large area, and low process cost. A capacitive-type touch sensor was studied with an a-IGZO TFT that can be used on the front side of a display due to its transparency. A capacitive sensor detects changes of capacitance between the surface of the finger and the sensor electrode. The capacitance varies according to the distance between the sensor plate and the touching or non-touching of the sensing electrode. A capacitive touch sensor using only one a-IGZO TFT was developed with the reduction of two bus lines, which made it easy to reduce the pixel pitch. The proposed sensor circuit maintained the amplification performance, which was investigated for various drive conditions.

In this paper, we fabricate arrayed-type flexible capacitive touch sensor using liquid metal (LM) droplets (4 mm spatial resolution). Poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) layer is used as a dielectric layer on the electrode patterned Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film. Bonding tests between hydroxyl group (-OH) on the PVP film and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are conducted in a various $O_2$ plasma treatment conditions. Through the tests, we can confirm that non-$O_2$ plasma treated PVP layer and $O_2$ plasma treated PDMS can make a chemical bond. To measure dynamic range of the device, one-cell experiments are conducted and we confirmed that the fabricated device has a large dynamic range (~60 pF).

A new hybrid-type touch screen panel (TSP) has been developed based on a-Si:H TFT which can detect the change of both $C_{LC}$ and photo-current. This TSP can detect the difference of $C_{LC}$ between touch and no-touch states in unfavorable conditions such as dark ambient light and shadows. The hybrid TSP sensor consists of a detection area which includes one TFT for photo sensing and two TFTs for amplification. Compared to a single internal capacitive TSP or an optical sensing TSP, this new proposed hybrid-type TSP enables larger sensing margin due to embedding of both optical and capacitive sensors.

This paper presents a compact and low-power on-chip touch sensor and readout circuit using shunt proximity touch sensor and its design scheme. In the proposed touch sensor readout circuit, the touch panel condition depending on the proximity of the finger is directly converted into the corresponding voltage level without additional signal conditioning procedures. Furthermore, the additional circuitry including the comparator and the flip-flop does not consume any static current, which leads to a low-power design scheme. A new prototype touch sensor readout integrated circuit was fabricated using complementally metal oxide silicon (CMOS) $0.18{\mu}m$ technology with core area of $0.032mm^2$ and total current of $125{\mu}A$. Our measurement result shows that an actual 10.4 inches capacitive type touch screen panel (TSP) can detect the finger size from 0 to 1.52 mm, sharply.

The purpose of this study is to develop the fabric electronics-based safety protection smart athleisure fashion for night riding. Based on the characteristic analysis of products being used during night riding, the fabric LED Display and fabric type capacitive touch sensor to emphasize human friendliness were designed in detachable form through an intuitive interface to develop the smart athleisure fashion of prototype. This is meaningful in that it proposed smart Athleisure fashion products differentiated from existing products, considering the functional aspects based on fabric electronics that emphasized human friendliness and the design aspects of the customized system that can diversify design through exchange and compatibility with other Athleisure products due to detachable form. Follow-up study will focus on the improvement of textile sensor fit for the physical properties of a textile with reinforced wearability and flexibility by using Fabric Electronics and proposed customized smart fashion based on it.

This paper described about on-machine profile measurement of aspheric surfaces using contact probing technique in ultra precision machine. A contact probe has been designed as a sensing device to obtain measuring resolutions in nanometer regime using a circle leaf spring mechanism and a capacitive-type sensor. The contact probe which is installed on the z-axis is In touch with the aspheric objects which is fixed on the spindle of the diamond turning machine(DTM) during the measuring procedure. The x, z-axis motions of the machine are monitored by a set of two orthogonal plane mirror type laser interferometers. As a results, the developed contact probe on-machine measurement system showed 10 nanometers repeatability with a ${\pm}2{\sigma}$ and uncertainty of 200 nmPv.

Touch panel is mainly applied to pressure type touch panel but it occur a low recognition rate and error during long-term use. So, it is partly applied to capacitive touch panel to compensate for these problems but it also can occur a same problems via pollutions. Touch technology has developed a various method but it is not used because of high costs and difficult installation process. So, in this paper, we proposed an input method of touchless panel using IrDA matrix. This method is conducted using an IrDA Matrix composed of depth sensor. It is possible to offer a various contents for multi user. The proposed technology need a development of a high sensitivity sensing method and high-speed processing method of position information for Seamless operation control. And, it is required high-precision drive technology. Also, we proposed a Seamless user recognition for interactive contents service through a touchless panel using IrDA matrix.
