Tactile sensation providing apparatus
A tactile sensation providing apparatus includes a panel, a tactile sensation providing unit that is attached to the panel and configured to vibrate the panel, and joint structures with respect to a housing. The joint structure is different between a first area in which the tactile sensation providing unit is arranged and a second area other than the first area.
1. A tactile sensation providing apparatus comprising:
a panel;
a tactile sensation providing unit arranged on the panel and configured to vibrate the panel; and
a joint structure with respect to a housing, wherein
the joint structure includes a first joint member and a second joint member,
the first joint member is positioned closer to a center of the tactile sensation providing unit than the second joint member,
the first joint member has a curved cross-sectional shape, and
joint strength between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing by the first joint member is lower than the joint strength by the second joint member.
2. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein a spring constant of the first joint member is smaller than a spring constant of the second joint member.
3. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the Young's modulus of a material of the first joint member is smaller than the Young's modulus of a material of the second joint member.
4. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the first joint member includes a curved portion or a bent portion.
5. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
6. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
7. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first joint member includes a curved portion or a bent portion.
8. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
9. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
10. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
11. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the curved cross-sectional shape of the first joint member overlaps itself, when viewed in a plan view.
12. A tactile sensation providing apparatus comprising:
a panel;
a tactile sensation providing unit arranged on the panel and configured to vibrate the panel; and
a joint structure with respect to a housing, wherein
the joint structure includes a first joint member and a second joint member,
the first joint member is positioned closer to a center of the tactile sensation providing unit than the second joint member,
the first joint member has a curved cross-sectional shape, and
a spring constant of the first joint member is smaller than a spring constant of the second joint member.
13. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 12 ,
wherein the Young's modulus of a material of the first joint member is smaller than the Young's modulus of a material of the second joint member.
14. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 13 ,
wherein the first joint member includes a curved portion or a bent portion.
15. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 14 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
16. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 13 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
17. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 12 ,
wherein the first joint member includes a curved portion or a bent portion.
18. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 17 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
19. The tactile sensation providing apparatus according to claim 12 ,
wherein the joint structure of the first joint member does not impose a restriction between the tactile sensation providing apparatus and the housing.
