Abstract
Touch screens used as interfaces rarely give tactile feedback to users. We developed a electrostatic-force-based tactile display, however, it cannot express softness feelings on the screen. In this research, we attempted to display softness feeling by using multi-electrodes and a pressure sensor. When using our system, we observed that the user can feel change of the display area on the fingertip when his pressure toward the surface is changed.
