*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18180773 Titled 'TOUCH SENSOR PANEL WITH STAGGERED TOUCH ELECTRODES'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a touch sensor panel that consists of multiple touch electrodes arranged in a two-dimensional grid. These touch electrodes include first and second touch electrodes positioned along a horizontal axis. Each touch electrode has protrusions on its sides, with the first touch electrode having protrusions on one side and the second touch electrode having protrusions on the opposite side. The protrusions on the first side of the first touch electrode are slightly shifted from the protrusions on the second side of the second touch electrode. This arrangement allows the first and second touch electrodes to fit together like puzzle pieces.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A touch sensor panel comprises a plurality of touch electrodes in a two-dimensional array, the plurality of touch electrodes including first and second touch electrodes disposed along a first axis. The first and second touch electrodes can each include one or more first protrusions along a first side and one or more second protrusions along a second side, opposite the first side. The one or more first protrusions along the first side can be offset along a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis, from the one or more second protrusions along the second side. The first and second touch electrodes can tessellate such that the one or more first protrusions along the first side of the first touch electrode interlock with the one or more second protrusions along the second side of the second touch electrode.
