Patent ID: 6970160

Claim:
A device comprising a touch-sensitive screen comprising: a touching surface; a first sensor layer including: a first set of capacitive sensor bars disposed in a first direction, each of the first set of capacitive sensor bars having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each of the first set of capacitive sensor bars is connected to one of a first set of lead lines; a second sensor layer including: a second set of capacitive sensor bars disposed in a second direction, the second direction being substantially orthogonal to the first direction, each of the second set of capacitive sensor bars having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each of the second set of capacitive sensor bars is connected to one of a second set of lead lines; and a non-conductive layer separating the first sensor layer from the second sensor layer, wherein the touch-sensitive screen is mounted within the device, the area around the touch-sensitive screen being sized in accordance with a reduced number of lead lines on the second ends of the sensor bars in the first set of capacitive sensor bars.
