Abstract: In einigen Ausführungsformen beinhaltet der Aktor piezoelektrisches Material und ein Muster von mit der Oberfläche des piezoelektrischen Materials gekoppelten Spannungselektroden. Die Spannungselektroden sind einzeln steuerbar, um verschiedene Teile des piezoelektrischen Materials mit Spannung zu versorgen. Verschiedene Abschnitte des piezoelektrischen Materials können angeregt werden, sich zu verformen und auf diese Weise eine haptische Ausgabe an diesen Stellen als Reaktion auf die Anwendung von Spannung zu produzieren. Einer oder mehreren Spannungselektroden können unterschiedliche Spannungen zugeführt werden, um den Ort der Auslenkung und somit die haptische Ausgabe zu beeinflussen. In verschiedenen Ausführungsformen beinhaltet ein haptisches Ausgabesystem ein versiegeltes haptisches Element. Das versiegelte haptische Element beinhaltet eine piezoelektrische Komponente, die an eine oder mehrere Flexschaltungen gekoppelt ist und durch die Flexschaltung(en) und eine Verkapselung oder ein Dichtungsmaterial versiegelt und/oder eingeschlossen ist.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a haptic actuator includes piezoelectric material and a pattern of voltage electrodes coupled to a surface of the piezoelectric material. The voltage electrodes are individually controllable to supply voltage to different portions of the piezoelectric material. Different sections of the piezoelectric material are operable to deflect, producing haptic output at those locations, in response to the application of the voltage. Differing voltages may be provided to one or more of the voltage electrodes to affect the location of the deflection, and thus the haptic output. In various embodiments, a haptic output system incorporates a sealed haptic element. The sealed haptic element includes a piezoelectric component that is coupled to one or more flexes and is sealed and/or enclosed by the flex(es) and an encapsulation or sealing material.
