Flexible Touch Sensor System

Researchers from the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has announced that they successfully developed a flexible touch-sensor system that can be used in mobile gadgets. This touch screen system will then be able to be applied to virtually any input system such as cell phones, UMPCs, vehicle navigation systems, household appliances and even vehicles. This is made possible courtesy of a flexible tactile sensor system composed of multiple sensors, enabling them to process three-dimensional inputs. They can be manufactured in just about any size and depth as required. The image on the right is not the actual product in action, but just to give us an idea of its application.
