ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396992 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display layer and a sensor layer. The sensor layer includes first and second electrodes arranged in different directions, connected by trace lines and contacts, overlapping the display region.
- The electronic device includes a display layer with a display region and a sensor layer with electrodes and trace lines.
- The sensor layer has first electrodes in one direction, second electrodes in another direction, and trace lines connecting them.
- Contacts connect the electrodes and trace lines, overlapping the display region for enhanced functionality.
Potential Applications: - Touchscreen devices - Interactive displays - Gesture recognition systems
Problems Solved: - Improved touch sensitivity - Enhanced user interaction - Precise input recognition
Benefits: - Higher accuracy in touch response - Increased functionality in interactive displays - Improved user experience
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Touchscreen Technology for Enhanced User Interaction This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, interactive kiosks, and other touch-enabled devices to provide a more responsive and accurate user interface. The market implications include improved user satisfaction, increased sales of devices with enhanced touch capabilities, and potential expansion into new markets requiring advanced touch technology.
Questions about Advanced Touchscreen Technology: 1. How does this technology improve touch sensitivity compared to traditional touchscreen devices? - The technology enhances touch sensitivity by overlapping contacts in the display region, allowing for more precise input recognition. 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this advanced touchscreen technology in commercial devices? - The cost implications may vary depending on the scale of production and the specific requirements of the device, but the benefits of improved user experience and functionality may outweigh the initial investment.
