Claim 0:
1. A device, comprising:
multiple column electrodes comprising a first column electrode divided into a plurality of first column sub-electrodes and at least a second column electrode divided into a plurality of second column sub-electrodes, wherein the first column electrode and the second column electrode are adjacent column electrodes, wherein first column sub-electrodes of the plurality of first column sub-electrodes are interleaved with second column sub-electrodes of the plurality of second column sub-electrodes in a first direction, and wherein a first layer of the device comprises the multiple column electrodes; and
multiple row electrodes interleaved in a second direction, wherein a second layer of the device comprises the multiple row electrodes, wherein the first layer and the second layer overlap and wherein a bi-linear fall-off in sensitivity is facilitated through a structure of the multiple column electrodes and the multiple row electrodes; wherein,
the structure facilitates sensitivity control based on a density of the first column sub-electrodes, the second column sub-electrodes, and respective row sub-electrodes of the multiple row electrodes, the plurality of first column sub-electrodes and the plurality of second column sub-electrodes are organized into bundles and respective spacing within the bundles comprises a zero gap or a substantially zero gap, and respective widths of the plurality of first column sub-electrodes and the plurality of second column sub-electrodes comprise a first width for a pair of active electrode columns and a second width for interpolating electrode columns, the second width is half of the first width.
