We developed a flexible sheet-type tactile display 'Haptoskin' with a CNT electrode that can be attached to objects and decorate the objects with extra tactile characteristics, such as smooth and rough. When the voltage is applied to the electrode, the finger on the PDMS layer is attracted to the electrode and experiences vibration-like tactile sensation. We fabricated Haptoskin with MEMS-process friendly materials, PDMS and CNTs. We attached the Haptoskin onto a flat and curved surface and requested subjects to answer the minimum voltage when they could recognize the tactile sensation. In both cases, the Haptoskin successfully presented tactile sensations to the subjects. The developed Haptoskin can be readily used as a new human interface device.
