INPUT SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482701 titled 'INPUT SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an input sensor with multiple sensor electrodes arranged in rows and connected to a sensor driver. The number of connections to each row of sensor electrodes varies, with more connections to the first row than the last row.

  • The input sensor includes multiple sensor electrodes arranged in rows and connected to a sensor driver.
  • The number of connections to each row of sensor electrodes varies, with more connections to the first row than the last row.
  • The sensor driver is located apart from the active area of the sensor.
  • The sensor electrodes are connected to the sensor driver through first and second sensor lines.

Original Abstract Submitted

An input sensor includes a plurality of first sensor electrodes extending along a first direction in an active area, a plurality of second sensor electrodes extending along a second direction. A sensor driver is spaced apart from the active area in the second direction. A plurality of first sensor lines connects the first sensor electrodes to the sensor driver and overlap the active area. A plurality of second sensor lines connect the second sensor electrodes to the sensor driver. The first sensor electrodes include first to n-th row sensor electrodes sequentially arranged in a direction adjacent to the sensor driver. The number of first sensor lines electrically connected to the first row sensor electrode is larger than the number of first sensor lines electrically connected to the n-th row sensor electrode.
