Abstract
An apparatus (201) for use in a display device comprises a light-emitting layer (203) for providing a light output to the display device and a translucent layer (202) comprising a pressure-sensitive ink. The translucent layer diffuses the light output from the light-emitting layer and the pressure-sensitive ink provides a conductive layer of a sensing device (205) which is configured to measure a force in response to a mechanical interaction.
Claims18
Apparatus for use in a display device or light-emitting device, comprising:
- a light-emitting layer for providing a light output;
- and
- a translucent layer comprising a pressure-sensitive ink;
- wherein:
- said translucent layer is arranged on top of said light-emitting layer such that said translucent layer is configured to diffuse said light output from said light-emitting layer;
- and
- said pressure-sensitive ink provides a conductive layer of a sensing device configured to measure a force in response to a mechanical interaction.
A method of manufacturing an apparatus for use in a display device, comprising the steps of:
- providing a light-emitting layer for providing a light output;
- printing a pressure-sensitive ink to form a translucent layer on top of said light-emitting layer and configuring said translucent layer to diffuse said light output;
- and
- constructing a sensing device comprising a conductive layer provided by said pressure-sensitive ink and configuring said sensing device to measure a force in response to a mechanical interaction.
