THIN LAMINATE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE CREATION OF TACTILE FEEDBACK
First Claim
1. A tactile laminate comprising;
- a first layer having a first conductive pad disposed thereon, the first conductive pad adapted to receive a first desired electric charge;
a second layer having a second conductive pad disposed thereon, the second conductive pad adapted to receive a second desired electric charge; and
a third layer having a desired permittivity disposed between the first layer and the second layer.

Abstract
A tactile laminate and a method for generating tactile feedback, wherein the tactile laminate and method provide a flexible laminate for creating a tactile sensation on a desired surface without the need for separate motion generating devices, is disclosed. A tactile laminate includes a first layer having a first conductive pad disposed thereon, the first conductive pad adapted to receive a first desired electric charge, a second layer having a second conductive pad disposed thereon, the second conductive pad adapted to receive a second desired electric charge, and a third layer having a desired permittivity disposed between the first layer and the second layer.
