Abstract:
A multipoint conductive sheet comprising:an insulative sheet having a first main surface, a second main surface and a thickness;a plurality of conductive electrodes arranged in a multipoint fashion and extending from said first main surface of said insulative sheet all the way to said second main surface of said insulative sheet through the thickness of said insulative sheet;wherein each of said conductive electrodes includes a first contact end arranged on said first main surface of said insulative sheet, a second contact end arranged on said second main surface of said insulative sheet, and a connecting portion extending through said insulative sheet and connecting between said first and second contact ends;wherein at least one slit or slot is formed through said insulative sheet adjacent each of said conductive electrodes so as to extend on at least two sides of each of said conductive electrodes and thereby form a sheet piece at an inner region of said at least one slit or slot around each of said conductive electrodes, whereby said conductive electrodes can be displaced in the thickness direction of said insulative sheet by flexing of said sheet pieces; andwherein, for each of said conductive electrodes, said first and second contact ends are coaxial with said connecting portion.
