DIGITIZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603944 titled 'DIGITIZER
The abstract describes a patent application for a digitizer that includes a base layer with folding and non-folding areas, as well as coils that overlap the folding area.
- The digitizer includes a base layer with folding and non-folding areas.
- Coils are disposed on the base layer, with some overlapping the folding area.
- The distance between the coils that overlap the folding area is equal to or greater than about 100 micrometers.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in touchscreens for electronic devices. - It may also have applications in digital drawing tablets or signature capture devices.
Problems Solved: - The digitizer allows for precise and accurate input recognition. - The folding area provides flexibility without compromising the functionality of the coils.
Benefits: - Improved sensitivity and accuracy in touch input devices. - Enhanced durability and flexibility in digitizer technology.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Digitizer Technology for Enhanced Touchscreens This technology could revolutionize the design of touchscreens in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices. It may also find applications in industrial control panels or interactive kiosks.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the folding area impact the functionality of the coils? - The folding area allows for flexibility in the digitizer without affecting the performance of the coils. 2. What are the potential drawbacks of overlapping coils in the folding area? - Overlapping coils may require precise calibration to ensure accurate input recognition.
Original Abstract Submitted
A digitizer includes a base layer including first and second non-folding areas and a folding area disposed between the first and second non-folding areas and foldable with respect to a folding axis extending in a first direction and a plurality of coils disposed on the base layer and including a first coil and a second coil closest to the first coil. Each of the first coil and the second coil includes a coil portion defining an open loop and a line portion extending from the coil portion. The coil portion or the line portion overlaps the folding area, and a distance between the coil portion of the first coil and the coil portion of the second coil or a distance between the line portion of the first coil and the line portion of the second coil, which overlap the folding area, is equal to or greater than about 100 micrometers.
