Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pressure sensor and a method of manufacturing the pressure sensor, and more particularly, to a pressure sensor and a method of manufacturing a pressure sensor capable of measuring pressure by a change in capacitance.
Generally, pressure sensor is an energy conversion device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is used to measure absolute pressure or gauge pressure. Depending on the principle of sensing pressure, strain gauge type metal type pressure sensor, pressure resistance type pressure sensor Piezoelectric pressure sensor, Piezoresistive pressure sensor, Piezoelectric pressure sensor, MOSFET type, Piezojunction, Optical fiber pressure sensor and Piezocapacitive pressure sensor have been proposed and used.
Among these capacitive pressure sensors, a flat plate capacitor is mainly formed between the diaphragm (membrane line) and the support, and the deflection of the diaphragm according to the pressure externally applied, that is, between the two electrodes The pressure can be recognized by a change in the capacitance caused by the change of the gap. In this case, a distance between the two electrodes, which is changed by the pressure, is secured between the two electrodes, A rubber is provided to provide restoring force for restoration to the original position.
However, the conventional pressure sensor uses a pressure-sensitive elastomer separately from an electronic device such as a transistor, so that the process is complicated and the production cost increases accordingly.
An object of the present invention is to provide a pressure sensor and a method of manufacturing a pressure sensor that can simplify the process and reduce the manufacturing cost.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a plasma display panel comprising: a pair of substrates positioned to face each other; And a barrier rib disposed between the pair of substrates so as to form an air layer by keeping the pair of substrates separated from each other so that the thickness of the air layer changes as the thickness changes according to an external pressure Elastomer; And a capacitance sensing circuit for converting the capacitance change due to the thickness change of the air layer into an electrical signal.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a plasma display panel comprising: a pair of substrates positioned to face each other; An elastic body disposed between the pair of substrates and formed of a dielectric material whose thickness varies according to an external pressure; And a capacitance sensing circuit for converting a capacitance change due to a change in thickness of the elastic body into an electrical signal.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a flexible substrate, comprising: attaching a first substrate and a second substrate to each other on a top surface of a flexible substrate; Forming a capacitance sensing circuit in the first substrate and the second substrate to convert a capacitance change into an electrical signal; The first substrate and the second substrate are disposed so as to face each other so as to face each other so as to form an air layer and to form a partition for changing the thickness of the air layer according to a change in thickness according to an external pressure, Applying an elastic body onto the second substrate; And folding the flexible substrate such that the first substrate and the second substrate face each other.

The pressure sensor and the pressure sensor manufacturing method according to the present invention provide the following effects.
First, the pressure sensing elastomer can be directly used for a transistor without being used separately from an electronic device (for example, a transistor), thereby reducing the number of processes and simplifying the process, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.
Second, since the flexible substrate is folded without applying a separate dielectric material and an air layer formed through the flexible substrate is used as a dielectric layer, manufacturing is easy and economical.
Third, it is possible to simplify the process as compared with the step of sequentially stacking the electrodes by attaching the hard substrates to the flexible flexible substrate and simultaneously forming the source electrode, the drain electrode and the gate electrode on each hard substrate.
Fourth, the data of all transistors can be read at the same time, which saves measurement cost and time.
Fifth, it is possible to apply elastic bodies having various elastic moduli, and thus it is possible to manufacture a pressure sensor capable of detecting a desired pressure range, and its application range can be expanded.
Sixth, since the air layer is used as the dielectric layer, the number of trapped charges and the number of defective sites are reduced, which greatly increases the mobility of the charge.
