Abstract
A capacitance module may include a stack of layers, a capacitance measuring circuit disposed on at least on of the layers of the stack of layers, the capacitance measuring circuit defining a capacitance input sensitive area associated with a face of the at least one layer, an optical pressure sensor incorporated into the stack of layers aligned within the input sensitive area, and a controller in communication with the capacitance measuring circuit and the optical pressure sensor, where the optical pressure sensor is configured to detect deformation from a user input to the stack of layers within the capacitance input sensitive area.
