Patent ID: 7834862

Claim:
A touch sensing device, comprising: a plurality of X touch sensors and a plurality of Y touch sensors forming a sensor matrix having M rows and N columns, wherein the plurality of X touch sensors and the plurality of Y touch sensors are alternately arranged in each of the M rows and each of the N columns, and wherein each of M and N is a positive integer greater than 1; N/2 column control lines for N being an even integer or (N+1)/2 column control lines for N being an odd integer, wherein for N being an even integer, the j-th column control line connects each X touch sensor in a pair of the (2j−1)-th column and the 2j-th column sequentially from the first row to the M-th row, wherein j=1, 2, 3, . . . , N/2, and wherein for N being an odd integer, the j-th column control line connects each X touch sensor in a pair of the (2j−1)-th column and the 2j-th column sequentially from the first row to the M-th row, wherein j=1, 2, 3, . . . , (N−1)/2, and the (N+1)/2-th column control line connects each X touch sensor in the N-th column sequentially from the first row to the M-th row; and M/2 row control lines for M being an even integer or (M+1)/2 row control lines for M being an odd integer, wherein for M being an even integer, the k-th row control line connects each Y touch sensor in a pair of the (2k−1)-th row and the 2k-th row sequentially from the first column to the N-th column, wherein k=1, 2, 3, . . . , M/2, and wherein for M being an odd integer, the k-th row control line connects each Y touch sensor in a pair of the (2k−1)-th row and the 2k-th row sequentially from the first column to the N-th column, wherein j=1, 2, 3, . . . , (M−1)/2, and the (M+1)/2-th row control line connects each Y touch sensor in the M-th row sequentially from the first column to the N-th column.
