Triboelectric film laminate based on conductive primer
A triboelectric film and its laminate that utilize a conductive primer are provided. The triboelectric effect is a type of contact electrification such that with a suitable configuration, a current may flow from one region to another. When decorative triboelectric films are touched, electrical charges are built up and the generated electrical charges between a human body and films flow through a conductive primer. This system based on the triboelectric effect and the conductive primer can provide electrical functions to decorative film products without there being any large changes.
