Abstract
Provided is a power seat device in which an operator can intuitively recognize an operation of a movable member. Operation units are provided in movable members in a power seat body. Each of the operation units includes a pair of electrodes and a dielectric layer formed between the pair of electrodes so as to be compressively deformable, and compressively deforms the dielectric layer by an operator's push operation. Driving devices are controlled so that the movable members move in the push direction of the operator based on the capacitance between the pair of electrodes changing with the compressive deformation of the dielectric layer.

A power seat device comprising:
- a power seat body that is able to adjust a state thereof;
- a driving device that adjusts the state of the power seat body;
- an operation unit that is provided in a movable member in the power seat body, the operation unit including a pair of electrodes and a dielectric layer formed between the pair of electrodes so as to be compressively deformed by an operator's push in a push direction;
- a detector that detects a capacitance between the pair of electrodes with the compressive deformation of the dielectric layer;
- and
- a control device that controls the driving device so that the movable member is moved in the push direction of the operator based on the capacitance.
