INTERLEAVING SENSE 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 of conductive elements disposed along a first axis. The repeating pattern includes 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 and a second conductive element that is electrically coupled to and co-planar with the first conductive element. The second conductive element includes 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. The repeating pattern also includes third and fourth conductive elements that are electrically coupled to and co-planar with the first and second conductive elements. The third conductive element includes the first shape and the fourth conductive element includes the second shape.
