Abstract:
1. A control module, comprising: at least one touch control surface including a sensor having a touch surface, said sensor including two flexible sheets and active tracks between the flexible sheets, said sensor sensitive to pressure exerted on the touch surface and a flexible protection layer covering said sensor and enabling pressure to be transferred locally to the sensor; a mechanical support having openings formed therein to enable light to pass from at least one light source to define backlighting regions of the touch surface; and a single layer made of an incompressible material and allowing light to pass which is sandwiched between said mechanical support and said sensor and is in direct contact with one of the two flexible sheets of said sensor, and which defines a smooth, continuous, and incompressible surface at the level of the sensor, and wherein the sensor and the flexible protection layer are made so as to allow light to pass at least partly in the backlighting regions.
