Characterization of an Electrode-Type Tactile Display Using Electrical and Electrostatic Friction Stimuli
Unlike tactile displays that use mechanical actuators, electrode-type tactile displays can be easily integrated and miniaturized because they consist of electrodes and insulators. Electrical tactile displays only require electrodes and use an electric current to stimulate vibration or pressure. Like...

| description | Unlike tactile displays that use mechanical actuators, electrode-type tactile displays can be easily integrated and miniaturized because they consist of electrodes and insulators. Electrical tactile displays only require electrodes and use an electric current to stimulate vibration or pressure. Likewise, electrostatic friction tactile displays also only require electrodes and an insulator and can induce changes in friction between the display and a fingerpad. We have developed a tactile display that integrates electrical and electrostatic friction stimulation owing to their affinity to microfabrication techniques. This tactile display can provide both pressure and friction at the same time. In this study, we presented an elongated bar shape via the tactile display to experimental participants. The experimental results showed that a tactile display employing multiple stimuli as opposed to a single stimulus can induce the perception of larger shapes. |
