In addition, integrated piezoelectric vibration chip sensors can also be deeply integrated with other types of sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc., to achieve synchronous measurement and data fusion analysis of multiple parameters, providing users with more comprehensive and accurate information services. In smart home systems, through multi-sensor fusion, piezoelectric vibration chip sensors can collaborate with other sensors to monitor indoor environmental parameters, personnel activity status, etc., helping to create more intelligent, comfortable, and safe living spaces.
New materials lead the expansion of new applications
The continuous emergence of new piezoelectric materials is injecting a continuous stream of innovative vitality into the development of piezoelectric vibration chip sensors. In addition to traditional piezoelectric ceramic materials, new materials such as piezoelectric polymers and piezoelectric composite materials have attracted much attention in recent years. Piezoelectric polymers have excellent flexibility and processability, making them widely applicable in wearable devices, flexible electronic devices, and other fields.
