Abstract:
The present application relates generally to haptic actuators. For example, the application is directed to high performance parallel plate actuators, and more particularly an actuator that can be used to provide haptic feedback in a variety applications such as buttons, panels, track pads, touch panels, wearables, gaming devices and/or touch-sensitive surfaces.

Claim (Index 16):
A wearable device for providing a first haptic feedback and a second haptic feedback to a user in response to a first contact and a second contact, comprising:\n a) a substrate integrated into a wearable clothing; b) a parallel plate structure associated with the substrate, the parallel structure comprising:\n i. a first plate comprising a first electrode; \n ii. a second plate comprising a second electrode; and \n iii. one or more piezo structure spacers positioned between and separating the first plate and the second plate, \n wherein the first contact at a first force provides the first haptic feedback from an electrostatic interaction; and wherein the second contact at a second force, which is higher than the first force, compresses the piezo structure spacers and transfers additional energy to the first and/or second plates and activates the second haptic feedback.
