Patent ID: 8456851

Claim:
A flex circuit for connecting to both sides of a touch sensor panel, comprising: a base film having first and second opposing surfaces, a width, and first and second ends terminating in first and second attachment areas, the first and second attachment areas widened as compared to the width of the base film, and a layer of conductive traces formed on the first surface of the base film, the second surface formed free of conductive material, the conductive traces on the first surface terminating with conductors in the first and second attachment areas; wherein the base film further includes a third end terminating in a tail, and wherein the conductors in the first and second attachment areas are routed to the tail; wherein the base film and conductive traces form a flexible stackup capable of being folded for attachment to first and second opposing sides of the touch sensor panel; and wherein the conductors in the first attachment area are located along a length of the first attachment area and the conductors in the second attachment area are located along a width of the second attachment area at one or more distal ends of the second attachment area for making electrical connections with the first and second opposing sides of the touch sensor panel in areas that do not directly oppose each other.
