Pressure sensitive display device

Abstract

The present disclosure concerns a system that includes a multi-touch-sensitive display unit and sensing modules that are associated with the display unit for sensing force applied onto the display unit. The display unit is configured to display the sensed signal that is indicative of the force that is applied onto the display unit, in association with the position of the application of force. One realization of the system is for weighing objects on the touch-sensitive display unit. A user may place an object on the display unit and trigger weighing process by an interface of the multi-touch-sensitive display unit. The weighing process is carried out by the sensing modules and the weight of the object is displayed on the display unit in association with the object, e.g. in the vicinity to where the object is placed on the display unit.
