Haptic signalizing device
Abstract:
A haptic signalizing device includes a number of piezoelectric elements arranged below a device surface such that mechanical deformations caused by the converse piezoelectric effect in the at least one piezoelectric element make the device surface to move such that the device surface follows the piezoelectric element. A driving circuit causes the converse the piezoelectric effect on the at least one piezoelectric element by generating an alternating electric field over the piezoelectric element in a bipolar fashion. The piezoelectric element is arranged i) to locally move the device surface inwards when the mechanical deformation in the piezoelectric element is a deflection directed away from the device surface, and ii) to locally move the device surface outwards when the mechanical deformation in the piezoelectric element is a deflection that is directed towards the device surface.
