Abstract:
An electrostatic stylus or fingertip driven digitizing panel, comprising:a generally rectilinear non-conductive surface;a plurality of first non-overlapping resistive members each of said members having a first and a second end, said members forming an array overlaying said generally rectilinear non-conductive surface so as to form an active region on said generally rectilinear non-conductive surface;a plurality of second non-overlapping resistive members forming a second array generally perpendicular to said first end of said first array members and operably electrically coupled with said first array members, said second array not overlaying said active region of said generally rectilinear non-conductive surface; anda plurality of third non-overlapping resistive members forming a third array generally perpendicular to said second end of said first array members and operably electrically coupled with said first array members, said third array not overlaying said active region of said generally rectilinear non-conductive surface.
