Patent ID: 8723818

Claim:
A touch sensitive screen comprising: a first electrode having a plurality of first electrode segments provided on a first substrate, the plurality of first electrode segments being of a first type, the first type comprising either drive electrode segments or sense electrode segments, the first type being the same for the plurality of first electrode segments; a second electrode having a plurality of second electrode segments provided on a second substrate, wherein a plurality of nodes are formed where the first and second electrode segments overlap, the plurality second electrode segments each being of a second type, the second type being the same for the plurality of second electrode segments and comprising: sense electrodes segments if the first type comprises drive electrode segments; or drive electrodes segments if the first type comprises sense electrode segments; and a dielectric layer provided between the first and second substrates, wherein some of the plurality of the first electrode segments are provided on a first face of the first substrate, and the remainder of the plurality of the first electrode segments are provided on a second face of the first substrate opposite the first face, said second face of the first substrate facing the second substrate, and the portion of the first electrode segments provided on the first face of the first substrate are not in alignment with the remainder of first electrode segments provided on the second face of the first substrate.
