Abstract:
A pressure sensor, e.g. for being arranged in the sole structure of an article of footwear, for measuring a pressure exerted by the wearer's foot. The pressure sensor has one or more pressure-sensing cells. Each cell has a first flexible carrier film and a second flexible carrier film, the first and second carrier films being attached to one another by a spacer film having an opening, a plurality of first electrodes arranged on the first carrier film and a plurality of second electrodes arranged on the second carrier film. The plurality of first electrodes has a first group of electrodes and a second group of electrodes. The first and second groups of electrodes are arranged so as to interdigitate with delimiting gaps there between. One or more electrically insulating overprints are arranged on the first carrier film so as to cover the gaps.
