Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: an array of capacitive sensor electrodes comprising a plurality of distinct capacitive sensor electrodes distributed over a sensing area of a touch sensitive display; and a plurality of conductive traces wherein each respective conductive trace is thinner than and operatively connected to one wider corresponding distinct capacitive electrode of the first plurality of distinct capacitive sensor electrodes to form a respective conductive trace and distinct capacitive sensor electrode pair, wherein the pair comprises the one wider capacitive sensor electrode having a sheet resistance at least ten times greater than the respective thinner conductive trace, wherein at least some of the conductive traces are routed over the sensing area and are opaque traces, and wherein portions of the adjacent opaque, conductive traces routed over the sensing area are irregular with respects to each other to present an irregular pattern and reduced perceived visibility to the human.
