About
Tomohiro Sampei is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced display technologies and tactile sensing. His primary research areas include thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane engineering, shear-force sensor design, and human-machine interface development. Sampei’s most significant contribution is the demonstration of a remarkably thin 700 μm shear-force sensor driven by a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT active matrix backplane. This sensor, featuring point-symmetric electrodes, represents a key advance in creating flexible, high-resolution pressure-sensitive surfaces. With 5 citations, this work has already drawn attention for its potential in robotics and next-generation touch interfaces. Sampei’s research is notable for bridging the gap between conventional display manufacturing processes and novel sensor architectures, enabling scalable production of sensitive, durable tactile arrays. His achievements highlight a promising trajectory in the development of smart surfaces that can detect not just touch, but directional force—a critical capability for prosthetics, wearable electronics, and interactive systems. For students and researchers, Sampei’s work exemplifies how leveraging mature TFT technology can unlock new frontiers in sensing and human-computer interaction.
