Abstract:
1. A display device, comprising: a display having an array of pixels formed in a pixel layer, the pixels separated by inter-pixel gaps in at least one dimension; first and second electrically separate electrodes formed in layers different from the pixel layer, each of the first and second electrodes having a length and width located over the display and extending across the array of pixels over two or more pixels in the pixel layer, each of the first and second electrodes including a plurality of electrically connected micro-wires formed in a micro-pattern, the first electrode formed in a different layer from the second electrode, the first electrode extending in a different direction from the second electrode, and the first electrode overlapping the second electrode, the overlapped areas forming capacitive sensors; wherein each micro-pattern includes gap micro-wires located between the pixels in the inter-pixel gaps and substantially extending continuously along the electrode length; wherein the micro-pattern includes additional gap micro-wires located between the pixels in the inter-pixel gaps electrically connecting the gap micro-wires; and wherein the pixels are grouped and the gap micro-wires and additional gap micro-wires of each first and second electrode are located between groups of pixels in the inter-pixel gaps but not between pixels within a group.
