富士紡ホールディングス List of Products and Services

Our company has developed a "piezoelectric flexible sensor" using a fluororesin-based ferroelectric material in the piezoelectric layer. Thanks to the properties of the piezoelectric material, it achieves a response speed of less than 1 ms, generating a clear voltage even with extremely small pressures. Moreover, by adopting a printing method, it offers high design flexibility for patterns, accommodating installations in small gaps as well as sensing over large areas. No driving power is required for the sensor. Various materials such as resin films, elastomer sheets, and textiles can be selected for the substrate, allowing installation in various locations. 【Features】 ■ The sensor is laminated with organic materials of less than 20 μm thickness on the substrate surface, making it thin and flexible. ■ It is also possible to manufacture piezoelectric element arrays. ■ It has transparency that allows for the identification of text on the back of the sensor. ■ It supports specifications with high signal-to-noise ratios due to an electromagnetic shielding layer (optional). ■ It can be utilized for vital sensing, vibration, shock, and water leak detection. ■ It also supports haptic devices utilizing the reverse piezoelectric effect (under development). *For more details, please refer to the materials available for download in PDF format.

This is a resistance change type flexible load (static load) sensor that changes its electrical resistance when force is applied from the surface. By adopting a printing method, it offers high design freedom for patterns, allowing installation in small gaps as well as large area sensing. By differentiating its use from the "piezoelectric flexible sensor," which excels in detecting dynamic loads, it enables load and pressure sensing in various situations. *This product is a joint development with the Yamagata University Organic Electronics Innovation Center. 【Features】 ■ It is a load sensor made of a laminated elastomer foam with low and high electrical resistance. ■ By adopting a printing method, it can be made thinner up to a total thickness of ○○μm depending on the choice of substrate. ■ Materials such as resin films, elastomer sheets, and textiles can be selected for the substrate. ■ Sensor arrays can also be produced. ■ Unlike piezoelectric flexible sensors, it requires driving power. *Please feel free to contact us for inquiries.
