Abstract
A haptic touch panel assembly for a vehicle. The haptic touch panel assembly includes a haptic touch panel, a support substrate, and a suspension component to couple the haptic touch panel to the support substrate. More accurate and dynamic haptic feedback for various vehicle interior components may be provided through the use of a suspension component that allows for three or more degrees of freedom movement or two or more haptic actuators that facilitate movement in two or more different directions.
