Abstract
A piezoelectric touch device is provided. According to a first aspect, a piezoelectric touch device comprises: a conductive support structure comprising an inseparable section as a bridge separated by a first opening; a piezoelectric element configured to provide a touch sensing and a haptic feedback; connection pads configured to form an electrically connected circuit for the piezoelectric element, wherein the piezoelectric element is electrically connected to the connection pads, and wherein the bridge comprises one of the connection pads and the conductive support structure comprises another of the connection pads; a second opening next to the another connection pad allowing the piezoelectric element to bend freely. The piezoelectric touch device for touch sensing and haptic feedback may be consequently manufactured with an improved manufacturability.
