Abstract
A detecting element for sensing surface pressure distributions comprising a substantially rigid insulating substrate, a plurality of scanning row electrodes, formed by metal deposition on said substrate, etched to form a pattern of substantially parallel electrodes which are spaced apart and oriented along a first axis, a thin resistive film, deposited on said substrate, having a resistance which varies as a function of contact area, a substantially resilient deformable surface layer, a plurality of scanning column electrodes, formed by metal deposition on said surface layer, etched to form a pattern of substantially parallel column electrodes which are spaced apart, said surface layer being bonded to said substrate by an anisotropic adhesive so that said column electrodes are oriented along a second axis which is perpendicular to said first axis, said surface layer transmitting pressure distribution to said row electrodes, resistive film, and column electrodes to form a matrix of variable contact resistances to provide analog information relating to the distribution of surface pressure applied to said surface layer.
