Abstract:
A device comprising: a device housing defining a space for accommodating one or more electronic components, the device housing comprising: a first panel bounding the space and having an exterior surface facing away from the space, and a second panel bounding the space and including a touch-sensitive display having a display surface facing away from the space, the display surface and the exterior surface being opposite surfaces; a haptic feedback module supported by and conforming to at least a portion of the exterior surface, the haptic feedback module comprising a haptic response layer, the haptic response layer comprising a piezoelectric material and electrodes and configured to couple vibrations to a user body member in contact with the haptic feedback module to provide a haptic response to the user during operation of the device; and an electronic control module accommodated in the space and coupled to the electrodes of the haptic response layer, the electronic control module being programmed to receive a touch input signal from the touch-sensitive display and provide haptic signals to the electrodes based on the received touch input signal to activate the piezoelectric material of the haptic response layer.
