Abstract
The present invention aims at providing a pressure-sensitive sensor capable of layering a pressure-sensitive layer and electrodes with high productivity, facilitating control of contact between the pressure-sensitive layer and the electrodes by loading, achieving good reproducibility of a resistance value generated by loading between the pressure-sensitive ink layer and the electrodes, and measuring pressure with high accuracy. The pressure-sensitive sensor comprises a pair of electrodesandformed on a substrate film, and a pressure-sensitive ink layerjuxtaposed to the electrodes on the substrate, the pressure-sensitive ink layer being variable in electrical properties in response to an applied pressing force, wherein a portion of the substrate filmhaving the pressure-sensitive ink layerformed thereon is bent inward to allow the pressure-sensitive ink layerto come into contact with the pair of electrodesand
