Patent ID: 11449183

Abstract:
A touch panel display includes a display panel having a plurality of pixel regions that emit light, and a touch sensor having an electrode configuration that overlays the display panel. The electrode configuration includes a first electrode and a second electrode that are separated by an insulating region. The electrode separation distance between the first and second electrodes is in a range whereby (1) with increasing electrode separation distance a first rate of proportional decrease in mutual capacitance between the first and second electrodes is greater than a second rate of proportional decrease in signal magnitude of an output signal, and (2) a ratio (R) of the first rate to the second rate satisfies the relationship 1.0<R<2.5. With such parameters, the electrode separation distance may be from 30 μm to 50 μm, and/or from 0.5 to 0.75 times a pixel pitch of the pixel regions.
