DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a humidity sensing element that detects humidity sound as an electrical signal by utilizing the property that its electrical resistance changes depending on humidity.

Conventionally used moisture sensitive resistors include salts such as lithium chloride and calcium chloride, Cr103, and Fed O.
@ , Ni! OB, ZnU, Mut Ox There are electrical resistors made by spreading fine powder of metal oxides on an insulating substrate. There are also sintered moisture-sensitive devices that contain alkali metal oxides (Li2O, K, 0), etc. to lower the resistivity, and polymer-type devices that take full advantage of the moisture and swelling properties of organic materials. .

However, based on Ik, elements such as lithium chloride are susceptible to dirt and easily elute when saturated with water, making them unstable, and type minerals using fine powder of metal oxides with a detection range of -0 generally have a specific resistance. This is difficult to detect electrically with high accuracy. Furthermore, the temperature cycle history of the element added with alkali metals etc. is quite large, and the change over time is 1 large. In addition, polymer type devices have the disadvantage that the environmental conditions in which they can be used are limited because their properties change significantly at high temperatures.

4 to 8n O! When 0.1 and 5 mo1% of each of f is added, the change in resistance value with respect to changes in humidity is small, making it inappropriate for use. Further, sample Nao is a case of 8n02 alone, and has a low resistance value and hardly changes in resistance with respect to changes in humidity. Moreover, it is not suitable because it is weak in strength.
