SENSOR AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A POSITION IN TWO SPATIAL DIRECTIONS

摘要

Sensor for detecting a position in two spatial directions (x, y), wherein the sensor comprises a sensor array and an actuator. The sensor array has a first row and at least a second row. The rows have in a first spatial direction (x) adjacently arranged sensor elements. The rows are arranged side by side in a second spatial direction (y) transverse to the first spatial direction (x). The actuator is arranged in a third spatial direction (z) transverse to the first spatial direction (x) and the second spatial direction (y) spaced apart from the sensor array. The actuator is designed movable in the first spatial direction (x) and the second spatial direction (y) relative to the sensor array. The actuator is adapted to influence a measurement variable of the sensor elements, wherein a signal of a sensor element represents a degree of overlap of the sensor element by the actuator.
