Abstract

A load sensor is constituted by a rib and a vertical transistor including an organic semiconductor film, and a load measurement can be executed based on a change of a gap between a drain electrode and a source electrode which is a channel length of the vertical transistor. Therefore, a change of a current Ids is in a linear relationship to a load applied to the load sensor.
