TOUCH SENSOR AND DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374569 titled 'TOUCH SENSOR AND DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a touch sensor that includes a base layer, first and second electrode members, a conductive member, and a proximity detector. The first electrode member has multiple electrodes arranged on the base layer and connected to each other along a first direction. The second electrode member has multiple electrodes arranged on the base layer and connected to each other along a second direction that intersects the first direction. The conductive member includes patterns connected to each other along the first direction and located within openings of the first electrodes. The proximity detector detects the proximity of an object by receiving a sensing signal from the conductive member.

  • The touch sensor includes multiple electrodes arranged on a base layer.
  • The electrodes are connected to each other along different directions.
  • A conductive member with patterns is located within openings of the electrodes.
  • The proximity detector detects the proximity of an object using the conductive member.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Touchscreens for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
  • Interactive displays for public kiosks, ATMs, and self-service machines.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality devices for enhanced user interaction.
  • Automotive touch panels for infotainment systems and control interfaces.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate and reliable touch detection for user input.
  • Improved sensitivity and responsiveness of touchscreens.
  • Reduction of false touches and unintentional input.
  • Enhanced user experience and interaction with electronic devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • High precision and accuracy in touch detection.
  • Increased durability and longevity of touchscreens.
  • Improved user interface and ease of use.
  • Enables multi-touch and gesture recognition capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

A touch sensor includes a base layer; a first electrode member that includes a plurality of first electrodes arranged on the base layer and electrically connected to each other along a first direction, each of the first electrodes including a first opening; a second electrode member that includes a plurality of second electrodes arranged on the base layer and electrically connected to each other along a second direction that intersects the first direction; a conductive member that includes a plurality of conductive patterns electrically connected to each other along the first direction; and a proximity detector that is electrically connected to the conductive member and configured to detect proximity of an object by receiving a proximity sensing signal from the conductive member. Each of the conductive patterns is located in the first opening of each of the first electrodes and spaced apart from each of the first electrodes, respectively.
