A sensing decal () for use in the production of a sensor, includes a flexible release layer (), a conductive ink layer () and an adhesive layer (). The conductive ink layer is printed onto a first surface () of the flexible release layer and the adhesive layer is printed onto the conductive ink layer. The first surface includes a substantially non-uniform surface () and the conductive ink layer includes at least one patterned element (-) providing a predetermined set of electrical properties for formation of a sensor.

Sensing decal

A sensor () for detecting input force includes a housing () having a cavity () and a contact element () which is enclosed in the cavity. The contact element and cavity provide a substantially flush profile along their respective surfaces (). The cavity includes a wall () having a sensing device () attached thereto and the contact element provides a physical contact between the contact element and the sensing device on application of a mechanical interaction to the surface of the contact element.

Force detecting sensor

A method of manufacturing a sensing decal (), a sensing decal and a method of providing a sensing decal to a device (), in which the method of manufacture includes providing a flexible release layer () having a substantially non-uniform surface () and printing a conductive ink layer () onto the non-uniform surface. An adhesive layer () is printed onto the conductive ink layer to produce the sensing decal. The decal can then be applied to a surface () of a device and the flexible release layer is removed.
