Claim Text:
1. A capacitive image sensor, comprising: a first array of sensor electrodes including electrodes of a first and second type, the first array of sensor electrodes disposed on a surface of a substrate, the first type of sensor electrodes in the first array aligned in substantially a first direction on the surface and the second type of sensor electrodes in the first array aligned in substantially the first direction, wherein each electrode of the first type in the first array is positioned to capacitively couple to one of the sensor electrodes of the second type in the first array; a second array of sensor electrodes including electrodes of the first and second type, the second array of sensor electrodes disposed on the surface of the substrate, the first type of sensor electrodes in the second array aligned in substantially the first direction and the second type of sensor electrodes in the second array aligned in substantially the first direction, wherein each of the electrodes of the first type in the second array is positioned to capacitively couple to one or more of the sensor electrodes of the second type in the second array; and wherein the second array of sensor electrodes is positioned a distance in a second direction from the first array of first sensor electrodes, and the second direction is not parallel to the first direction, and wherein at least one of the sensor electrodes of the second type in the first array is electrically coupled to at least one of the sensor electrodes of the second type in the second array.
