Abstract
A tactile sensation providing apparatus includes a base, a panel having an interface surface, and a piezoelectric actuator that is attached to the base and the panel and configured to allow lateral movement of the panel with respect to the interface surface. The panel moves laterally with respect to the interface surface in accordance with bending of the piezoelectric actuator to provide a tactile sensation on the interface surface.
