Claim 0:
1. A sensor module comprising:
a sensor that includes a first sensor layer including a plurality of first detection units arranged two-dimensionally and a second sensor layer including a plurality of second detection units arranged two-dimensionally, the first sensor layer being provided on the second sensor layer; and
a control unit that scans the plurality of first detection units and the plurality of second detection units,
wherein the sensor module further includes a separation layer provided between the first sensor layer and the second sensor layer,
wherein the first sensor layer and the second sensor layer are pressure distribution sensor layers,
wherein the separation layer is elastically deformed by a shearing force acting in an in-plane direction of the sensor, and
wherein the first sensor layer includes
a first detection layer that has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and includes the plurality of first detection units,
a first conductive layer provided to face the first surface of the first detection layer, and
a first deformation layer that is provided between the first conductive layer and the first detection layer and is elastically deformed according to a pressure acting in a thickness direction of the sensor, and
the second sensor layer includes
a second detection layer that has a first surface facing the first detection layer and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and includes the plurality of second detection units,
a second conductive layer provided to face the second surface of the second detection layer, and
a second deformation layer that is provided between the second conductive layer and the second detection layer and is elastically deformed according to a pressure acting in the thickness direction of the sensor.
