SENSOR MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18143186 titled 'SENSOR MODULE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a sensor module with multiple sensor electrodes, sensor wirings, auxiliary electrodes, and a driver circuit.

  • The sensor electrodes are arranged in a matrix with rows and columns.
  • Each sensor electrode is connected to a sensor wiring.
  • The auxiliary electrodes are also connected to the sensor electrodes and extend in the opposite direction of the sensor wirings.
  • The driver circuit is connected to the sensor wirings and is used to measure the sensor values of the sensor electrodes based on potential fluctuations.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a sensor module including a plurality of sensor electrodes, a plurality of sensor wirings, a plurality of auxiliary electrodes, and a driver circuit. The plurality of sensor electrodes is arranged in a matrix having first to mth rows and first to nth columns. The plurality of sensor wirings is respectively connected to the plurality of sensor electrodes. The plurality of auxiliary electrodes is respectively connected to the plurality of sensor electrodes and extends from the plurality of sensor electrodes in a direction opposite to the direction in which the plurality of sensor wirings extends from the plurality of sensor electrodes. The driver circuit is connected to the plurality of sensor wirings and is configured to obtain sensor values of the plurality of sensor electrodes on the basis of potential fluctuations of the plurality of sensor electrodes.
