Pressure sensor and wearable sensor

A glove wearable sensor comprising:

• a glove;
• and
• a film-like pressure sensor,
• wherein the pressure sensor is incorporated into a fingertip of the glove,
• wherein three coordinate axis directions in a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system include a vertical direction of sensor layers of the pressure sensor, a longitudinal direction of the pressure sensor along its longest length, and in the same plane as the longitudinal direction, a width direction of the pressure sensor along its shortest length,
• wherein only a pressure applied to a fingertip of a wearer after wearing the wearable sensor is detected,
• wherein the pressure sensor includes a flexible printed circuit, pressure sensitive elements, and a protective film that are laminated in the vertical direction,
• wherein the pressure sensitive elements are arranged approximately at equal intervals in an inner space of the pressure sensor, the inner space being formed by an upper surface of the flexible printed circuit and a lower surface of the protective film, such that a width direction of each of the pressure sensitive elements is the longitudinal direction of the pressure sensor, and
• wherein the flexible printed circuit has a wiring pattern formed such that a position where each of the pressure sensitive elements is arranged overlaps a position of an area covering a single line of a positive electrode and single line of a paired negative electrode.

• wherein the pressure sensitive elements are sandwiched between two of the flexible printed circuits, and
• each of the two flexible printed circuits is provided with a different positive or negative electrode.
