We propose a new touchpanel which can present haptic information with Electro-Tactile Display. There is electrode array in surface of the panel. When we touch the panel with our finger, haptic sensation is presented by the voltage which applied to the electrodes. The location of the finger is obtained by monitoring resistance value between the electrodes. This display can provide not only the sense of vibration but also the sense of pressure without large mechanical architecture. To verify the effectivity of this method, we conduct three experiments. The results of the experiments show that the proposed tactile display can generate haptic cue for manipulation of touchpanel interface.
