Abstract :
We developed an organic semiconductor based strain sensor sheet for an input system on flexible OLEDs. As resistors for strain gauges, we used a conductive polymer of poly (3, 4 - ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT):polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) which is useful for touch input devices. This is because PEDOT: PSS has the advantages of flexibility and transparency. The strain sensor array was fabricated with the Parylene peel-off process. The resistance change of the fabricated PEDOT-based sensor was measured on diverse radii of curved surfaces. Finally, we demonstrated the capability to accept input by touching the sensor sheet both on flat and curved surfaces.
