1. A conductive yarn pressure sensor comprising:
a first sensing electrode comprising a first surface and a plurality of first unit sensing electrodes extending in a first direction and insulated from each other, each of the plurality of first unit sensing electrodes comprising a set of first conductive yarns that are disposed on the first surface and extend in the first direction;
a second sensing electrode comprising a second surface opposing the first surface and a plurality of second unit sensing electrodes extending in a second direction and insulated from each other, each of the plurality of second unit sensing electrodes comprising a set of second conductive yarns that are disposed on the second surface and extend in the second direction; and
an intermediate layer interposed between the first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode, the intermediate layer comprising a plurality of openings,
wherein the intermediate layer is configured to enable the set of first conductive yarns of at least one of the plurality of first unit sensing electrodes of the first sensing electrode and the set of second conductive yarns of at least one of the plurality of second unit sensing electrodes of the second sensing electrode to physically contact each other through at least part of the plurality of openings in the intermediate layer in response to external pressure applied to at least one of the first sensing electrode or the second sensing electrode and sense a position, in at least one of the first sensing electrode or the second sensing electrode to which the external pressure is applied, in response to the set of first conductive yarns and the set of second conductive yarns physically contacting each other.
