Abstract: Haptic systems are disclosed which may provide increased resolution in tactile feedback. A tiered haptic system may be formed by stacking of haptic elements. One or more arrays of shape change elements such as, for example, piezoelectric elements may be used to actuate a screen surface. Arrays may also be used to sense tactile interactions and stimuli on a screen surface. An embedded haptic system may be formed by inserting haptic elements into a contoured elastic sheet. The embedded haptic system may provide tactile interactions to a user. In some embodiments, both tiered and embedded haptic arrangements may be used.

Abstract translation: 触觉系统被公开，其可以提供增加的触觉反馈分辨率。 可以通过堆叠触觉元件形成分层触觉系统。 诸如压电元件的一个或多个形状变化元件阵列可用于致动屏幕表面。 阵列也可用于感测屏幕表面上的触觉相互作用和刺激。 嵌入的触觉系统可以通过将触觉元件插入成形的弹性片中而形成。 嵌入式触觉系统可以向用户提供触觉交互。 在一些实施例中，可以使用分层和嵌入式触觉装置。
