FABRIC TYPE INPUT DEVICE
First Claim
1. A fabric type input device, comprising:
- a fabric type electrode unit comprising a first fabric type electrode and a second fabric type electrode formed opposite to each other, the first fabric type electrode and the second fabric type electrode each comprising a fabric and a lead pattern formed by patterning a conductive material on the fabric;
a fabric type substrate unit interposed between the first fabric type electrode and the second fabric type electrode so that the first fabric type electrode and the second fabric type electrode are spaced apart from each other, the fabric type substrate unit having a connection hole formed so that the first fabric type electrode and the second fabric type electrode are in contact with each other; and
a control unit supplying an input signal to the fabric type electrode unit, the control unit sensing the supplied input signal.

Abstract
There is a fabric type input device. The fabric type input device comprise a fabric type electrode unit comprising first and second fabric type electrodes formed opposite to each other, the first and second fabric type electrodes each comprising a fabric and a lead pattern formed by patterning a conductive material on the fabric, a fabric type substrate unit interposed between the first and second fabric type electrodes so that the first and second fabric type electrodes are spaced apart from each other, the fabric type substrate unit having a connection hole formed so that the first and second fabric type electrodes are in contact with each other and a control unit supplying an input signal to the fabric type electrode unit, the control unit sensing the supplied input signal. The fabric type input device is formed using a fabric patterned with a conductive material, thereby minimizing foreign-body feeling.
