PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further improve haptic feedback capabilities, particularly in the context of user productivity and efficiency in data entry, through further improvement in characteristics and quality of haptic sensation communicated to a user.SOLUTION: Electroactive polymer transducers for sensory feedback applications are disclosed. A user interface device having sensory feedback includes; a user contact surface; an electroactive polymer transducer having an output member coupled to the contact surface; a sensor for sensing mechanical force on the user contact surface and providing an activation signal to the transducer (activation of the transducer moves at least a portion of the user contact surface); and a sealing material adapted to substantially hermetically seal the transducer. |
