Recently, haptic display attracts attentions in some fields such as virtual reality, human interface and so on. Typically, kinesthesia and tactile sensation are indicated separately, they need their own suitable actuator specifications. Many types of haptic display devices have been proposed and developed so far under this situation. This manuscript presents recent haptic displays as history of device development and categorization of principles. Haptic sensors have been also considered to acquire haptic information or to realize haptic interaction between human and objects. These devices can perform as realistic haptic sensation for certain application. In the next period, these proposals and trials will contribute evolution in new fields like touch screen operation. For such evolution, interaction and cooperation among researchers surrounding human haptic sensation will be important.
