Interleaving conductive elements of a capacitive-sense array

摘要

Apparatuses and methods of sense arrays with interleaving sense elements are described. One capacitive-sense array includes a repeating pattern having a first conductive element with a first polygon shape and a first width defined along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis; a second conductive element having a second polygon shape and a second width defined along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis; a third conductive element having the first polygon shape and the first width defined along a fourth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis; and a fourth conductive element having the second polygon shape and the second width defined along a fifth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis.

1. A capacitive-sense array comprising a repeating pattern of conductive elements disposed along a first axis, wherein the repeating pattern comprises: a first conductive element comprising a first polygon shape with a first width defined along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis; a second conductive element that is electrically coupled to and co-planar with the first conductive element, wherein the second conductive element comprises a second polygon shape with a second width defined along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis, wherein the second width is greater than the first width; a third conductive element that is electrically coupled to and co-planar with the second conductive element, wherein the third conductive element comprises the first polygon shape with the first width defined along a fourth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis; and a fourth conductive element that is electrically coupled to and co-planar with the third conductive element, wherein the fourth conductive element comprises the second polygon shape with the second width defined along a fifth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis.
