Abstract
This glove (G1) is used to read information by touch, whenever a finger (1) of this glove touches a screen (E1) comprising at least one area (31, 32, 33) emitting a continuous electrical field. This glove comprises at least one finger (1) comprising: a flexible, dielectric internal wall (24) capable of accommodating a user's finger (28), an external wall (23) that is flexible and dielectric, a liquid (25) contained within at least one space between these two walls, and microparticles (6, 7) placed inside this liquid, said microparticles being electrically charged with the same polarity, and being capable of moving within that liquid under the action of an electrical field.
Claims6
1) Glove (G1) used to read information by touch, when a finger (1) of this glove touches a screen (E1) comprising at least one area (31, 32, 33) emitting a continuous electrical field, in which at least one finger (1) of the glove comprises:
- a flexible, dielectric internal wall (24) capable of accommodating a user's finger (28),
- an external wall (23) that is flexible and dielectric,
- a liquid (25) contained within at least one space between these two walls,
- and microparticles (26, 27) placed inside this liquid, said microparticles being electrically charged with the same polarity, and being capable of moving within that liquid under the action of an electrical field.
4) Touchscreen (E1) used to read information by touch, comprising:
- at least one electrode (2),
- at least one voltage source (4),
- and switching means (3) connected to this electrode (2) to create an electrical field from this electrode, said switching means being controlled by an information source (5);
- in which said switching means (3) are controlled so as to apply to this electrode a direct voltage which can take two opposing signs, its sign depending on binary information provided by the information source (5).
