Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for sensing pressure using an optical waveguide sensor. The apparatus for sensing pressure using an optical waveguide sensor, includes: a light source radiating light; an optical waveguide panel emitting some of the radiated light outside through a plurality of light transmitting regions previously formed, and changing an amount of totally reflected light according to pressure applied to at least one of the plurality of light transmitting regions; a detector detecting the amount of light; and an analyzer determining intensity and a location of the pressure according to the detected amount of light.
Abstract:
Provided is a circuit board, which may include a base layer, an adhesive film, a conductive circuit, and a through via. The adhesive film and the conductive circuit may be provided in plurality to be alternately stacked on the base layer. The through via may be formed through soldering. Since the base layer is not damaged during the soldering, the through via may include various conductive materials. The through via makes it possible to easily connect the conductive circuits having different functions to one another. Accordingly, the circuit board may have multi functions. Thicknesses of the conductive circuits may be adjusted to protect the conductive circuits from folding or bending of the base layer. The circuit board having a multi-layered structure can function not only as a fabric or clothes but also as an electronic circuit.
