KEMET Piezoelectric haptic modules

The Piezoelectric haptic modules (film flex assembled actuators) are revolutionary, next-generation flexible haptics actuator technology with the unique ability to provide localized, bodily sensations and tactile effects currently unavailable with any other product in the market. These versatile actuators can be used in a broad range of applications including AR or VR, gaming controllers, as well as in visionary products of the future that leverage humancomputer interaction.

This is made possible by the thin form factor, ideal size and flexibility of the actuators.

With these Piezoelectric haptic modules the haptic skin technology designers can add the sense of touch to the surface of products providing:

• localized, independent sensations that enhance user experience
• natural, organic, authentic touch sensations
• programmable, custom.

Features

• Extremely thin and flexible - enabling them to be conformally embedded into a variety surfaces for many applications to provide high quality haptic feedback
• Multi-location effects - whereby multiple actuators can be applied to different locations of the same surface and vibrated in a desired order to deliver a plurality of feedback approaches that combine pattern recognition and effect recognition
• Wide frequency range provides haptic feedback-programmable haptic feedback that feels natural, providing a rich user experience
• Providing a natural sense of touch
• Increasing sense of realism and better tactile feedback
• Enhancing user satisfaction
• RoHS and REACH compliant
