Abstract

The present invention discloses a tilt sensor including a container having a bubble on a surface of the conductive liquid as the conductive liquid is filled in the container, an electrode to provide a current to the conductive liquid in the container, and terminals to output the current provided from the electrode through the conductive liquid, thereby outputting a tilt sensing signal by the presence of an electric connection between the electrode and the terminals.
