发明名称 Single layer capacitive touch sensor
摘要 There is provided a single-layer capacitive touch sensor including a plurality of sensing units arranged in a matrix on a substrate. Each of the sensing units has a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode. The second electrode is arranged in a ring shape and electrically isolated from the first electrode, and the first electrode is located in an interior space of the ring shape. The third electrode is arranged outside of the interior space and electrically connected to the first electrode, wherein the second electrode of at least a part of the sensing units is configured to respectively form a mutual capacitance with the third electrode of two adjacent sensing units.
