Abstract

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a haptics panel and a haptics apparatus. By means of rationally designing structural parameters of a supporting structure, the resonance frequency of a haptics substrate is within 100 Hz-300 Hz, such that the haptics effect of the haptics panel based on vibration excited by an exciter in a low-frequency range can be effectively improved by means of using the resonance frequency of the haptics substrate; moreover, by means of rationally designing the structural parameters of the supporting structure and also preventing the supporting structure from buckling under the action of static and dynamic loads, the haptics panel can meet the requirements of a haptic design for a vibration amplitude and an acceleration under the condition that the haptics panel meets a rigid design.
