Abstract
- We propose a film device that can be attached to flat surfaces, including touch panels, to remotely reduce surface friction by irradiating airborne ultrasound. In this article, we present a film-air resonance structure that produces large-amplitude surface vibrations excited by airborne ultrasound. We confirmed via simulation that the surface amplitude increases to a level sufficient to reduce friction at the designed frequency. It was also observed in an experiment using a prototype that the friction between a finger and film surface is sharply reduced, and the surface vibrates with sufficient amplitude when touched with a finger.
