PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mutual capacitance multi-touch sensor panel having co-planar single-layer touch sensors that can be fabricated on a single side of a substrate.SOLUTION: The drive and sense lines can be fabricated as column-like patterns (shown by a to h) in a first orientation and as patches (shown by 1 to 6) in a second orientation, where each column-like pattern in the first orientation is connected to a separate metal trace in the border area of the touch sensor panel, and all patches in each of multiple rows in the second orientation are connected together using a separate metal trace in the border area of the touch sensor panel. The metal traces in the border areas can be formed on the same side of the substrate as the patches and columns, but separated from the patches and column-like patterns by a dielectric layer. |
