Patent ID: 8624845

Claim:
A touch screen, comprising: a display comprising a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising a light-emitting portion and a non-light-emitting portion; a sensor array coupled to sensor circuitry, the sensor array disposed over the display such that a single layer of conductive, optically transmissive material is positioned over substantially all of the plurality of pixels of the display, wherein the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements disposed over the plurality of pixels and a plurality of electrical interconnects configured to couple at least two of the plurality of sensor elements together, each of the plurality of electrical interconnects extending between adjacent sensor elements of the plurality of sensor elements such that each interconnect extends between two pixels located diagonally from each other and within a non-light-emitting portion of a pixel in the plurality of pixels, wherein substantially all the sensor elements are coupled together to form at least two axes including a row axis and a column axis, the sensor element row axis is non-parallel with a pixel row axis of the display, the sensor element column axis is non-parallel with a pixel column axis of the display, and wherein a space between an edge of a first sensor element, in a first dimension of the array, adjacent to an edge of a second sensor element, in a second dimension of the array, has a width less than or equal to a pixel-mask width of the display; and a first electrical interconnect between the first sensor element and a third sensor element, in the first dimension of the array, wherein the first and third sensor elements and first electrical interconnect comprise a same layer of optically transmissive conductive material.
