TOUCH SENSOR AND DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18414457 titled 'TOUCH SENSOR AND DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING THE SAME
The touch sensor described in the patent application consists of multiple first sensor electrodes with patterns extending in one direction, and multiple second sensor electrodes with patterns extending in the perpendicular direction. There is an opening in the touch active region, separate from the sensor electrodes, with a first connection pattern around it to connect adjacent sensor patterns. First lines connect portions of the first sensor electrodes, extending to the edge of the touch active region, while second lines connect portions of the second sensor electrodes, also extending to the edge.
- The touch sensor includes multiple sensor electrodes with unique patterns for improved touch sensitivity.
- An opening in the touch active region allows for precise touch detection without interference from the sensor electrodes.
- Connection patterns ensure efficient communication between the sensor electrodes and the touch active region.
- Extending lines provide comprehensive coverage and connectivity for accurate touch input detection.
- The design of the touch sensor enhances overall touch responsiveness and accuracy.
Potential Applications: - Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops - Automotive touchscreens and control panels - Industrial control systems and touch-sensitive interfaces
Problems Solved: - Improved touch sensitivity and accuracy - Reduced interference from sensor electrodes - Enhanced overall user experience with touch input devices
Benefits: - Higher touch sensitivity and accuracy - Improved user interaction with touchscreens - Enhanced performance of touch-sensitive devices
Commercial Applications: Touch sensor technology can be utilized in various consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial applications to enhance user interaction and improve touch input accuracy.
Questions about Touch Sensor Technology: 1. How does the design of the touch sensor improve touch sensitivity and accuracy? 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this touch sensor technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
A touch sensor includes: a plurality of first sensor electrodes, each including first sensor patterns extending in a first direction, and being arranged in a second direction; a plurality of second sensor electrodes, each including second sensor patterns extending in the second direction and being arranged in the first direction; an opening in a touch active region separated from the first and second sensor electrodes; a first connection pattern disposed around but not in the opening, the first pattern electrically connecting first opening sensor patterns of the first sensor patterns that are adjacent to respective portions of the opening in the second direction; first lines respectively connected to portions of the first sensor electrodes, the first lines extending to a periphery of the touch active region; and second lines respectively connected to portions of the second sensor electrodes, the second lines extending to the periphery of the touch active region.
