发明名称 Touch sensor pattern
摘要 A capacitive sensor array may include a first plurality of sensor elements and a second sensor element. The second sensor element may include a main trace intersecting each of the first plurality of sensor elements to form a plurality of intersections each associated with a unit cell, where a contiguous section of the main trace crosses at least one of the plurality of unit cells. An area within the unit cell may include at least a portion of one or more primary subtraces branching from main subtrace, a plurality of secondary subtraces branching away from the one or more primary subtraces, and at least one tertiary subtrace branching away from at least one of the secondary subtraces.

主权项 1. A capacitive sensor array, comprising: a first plurality of sensor elements disposed in a layer of a substrate; and a second sensor element disposed in the layer of the substrate, the second sensor element comprising a main trace intersecting each of the first plurality of sensor elements to form a plurality of intersections each associated with a unit cell, wherein each of the plurality of unit cells designates a set of locations nearest a corresponding intersection, wherein a contiguous section of the main trace crosses at least one of the plurality of unit cells, and wherein within each unit cell, at least a portion of one or more primary subtraces branches away from the main subtrace, a plurality of secondary subtraces branch away from the one or more primary subtraces, at least one tertiary subtrace branches away from at least one of the secondary subtraces, and a single bridge is coupled to a first sensor element of the first plurality of sensor elements, wherein each of the first plurality of sensor elements is a transmit (TX) sensor element and the second sensor element is a receive (RX) sensor element, and within each unit cell, an area of one of the first plurality of sensor elements is greater than an area of the second sensor element.
