Abstract
Provided is a motion element including: a substrate; a gel layer made of a stimulus-responsive gel and provided on one surface of the substrate; and an input unit that inputs a stimulus to which the stimulus-responsive gel reacts in a non-contact manner at an arbitrary position on the gel layer, in which adhesive regions where the substrate and the gel layer adhere to each other and a non-adhesive region where the substrate and the gel layer do not adhere to each other are formed at an interface between the substrate and the gel layer, the adhesive regions are provided on both sides of the non-adhesive region in a plan view, and the input unit inputs the stimulus to the gel layer overlapping the non-adhesive region.
Claims5
A motion element comprising:
- a substrate;
- a gel layer made of a stimulus-responsive gel and provided on one surface of the substrate;
- and
- an input unit configured to input a stimulus to which the stimulus-responsive gel reacts in a non-contact manner at an arbitrary position on the gel layer,
- wherein adhesive regions where the substrate and the gel layer adhere to each other and a non-adhesive region where the substrate and the gel layer do not adhere to each other are formed at an interface between the substrate and the gel layer,
- the adhesive regions are provided on both sides of the non-adhesive region in a plan view, and
- the input unit inputs the stimulus to the gel layer overlapping the non-adhesive region.
