Haptic feedback actuator: The First Touch Solid-State Button for Smartphones

2024-02-01 Product Information

Experience richer and more realistic pressing sensations, and enjoy more delicate and natural touch slides.

Haptic feedback actuator: Pioneering Touch Solid-State Buttons

The industry's first tactile solid-state buttons for smartphones utilize tactile feedback actuators as core components, employing piezoelectric tactile feedback technology to reproduce real touch sensations for phone buttons using the principles of positive and reverse piezoelectric effects. When a driving voltage is applied to the tactile feedback actuator, the component undergoes mechanical deformation, causing vibrations within a defined range, replacing traditional mechanical button interfaces with high-resolution localized tactile buttons and reshaping the interaction of smartphone side buttons.

Pressing, tapping, sliding, etc., are common interaction gestures for smartphones. Applying tactile feedback actuators to tactile solid-state buttons not only provides mechanical button-like real touch sensations but also offers a richer, more realistic, and more natural tactile experience for immersive interactions.

Experience richer and more realistic pressing sensations

From an interaction design perspective, tactile solid-state buttons using tactile feedback actuators can reproduce the real touch sensations of mechanical buttons, such as when performing simple operations like power on/off.The haptic solution can also provide users with more sophisticated multi-level tactile sensations. For example, during the process of taking a photo, users can experience a semi-press focus sensation similar to that of a digital SLR camera when focusing the lens; when capturing a photo, they can feel the sensation of fully pressing the button. Such rich and three-dimensional tactile sensations are unmatched by traditional mechanical buttons.

Experience more delicate and natural touch slides

Tactile solid-state buttons using piezoelectric tactile feedback technology can provide scrolling sensations similar to rolling a mouse when users browse the internet on their phones, mimicking the "click-click" sensation of scrolling pages on fingertips. Tactile solutions based on haptic feedback actuators can provide localized tactile feedback limited to the buttons themselves and offer a more delicate and natural tactile sensation than mechanical buttons.

When this technology is applied to the smartphone screen, it can break away from the monotonous vibration of single-screen interactions, providing the tactile feedback effects required for different screen scenes and enhancing the user experience.

Piezoelectric haptic feedback technology: A new direction in the development of the consumer electronics industry.

It is understood that since the birth of the first smartphone, the industry has been using the interaction mode of mechanical buttons. Tactile solid-state buttons using piezoelectric haptic feedback technology combine familiar, realistic tactile experiences with new touch functions, making them the first innovative technological product to truly replace the interaction mode of mechanical keys.

Coincidentally, LG's Gram Style laptop, which shone at the 2023 CES exhibition in the United States, also used Piezo Haptic Actuators. The core hardware piezoelectric touch sensor is only 0.3mm thick, creating space flexibility for the thin and light laptop design. The high sensitivity of the sensor makes laptop touch control smoother, achieving the ultimate effect of different levels of pressure touch control. The "hidden" design of the sensing touchpad not only achieves a simplified and beautiful industrial design effect but also ensures high-energy properties such as waterproof, dustproof, and pollution resistance with a seamless structure.

It can be seen that in recent years, the rapid development of piezoelectric touch and feedback technology has gradually become one of the leading technological directions in the consumer electronics industry.
More Application Advantages

Low power consumption

Haptic feedback actuators consume 10-13 times less energy than products using mechanical technologies (such as strain and voice coil).

Small size

The product's protection level can reach IP68, with high waterproof, dustproof, oil-resistant, and pollution-resistant capabilities.

Multifunctional interaction

The product can achieve multifunctional interaction, providing tactile feedback for various gestures such as swiping, tapping, and light touches in specific areas, promoting the development of smartphone interaction functions in a more comprehensive, interactive, and intuitive direction.

Aesthetic design

Solutions using this product can eliminate "raised" areas by removing mechanical buttons, simplify industrial design, and make the overall machine lines smoother and more beautiful.
