Abstract:
A capacitive touch switch for an operating device of an electronic domestic appliance has an at least partly translucent cover plate with a user side facing a user, a carrier plate disposed on a side of the cover plate facing away from the user side at a distance therefrom, and a light source mounted on the carrier plate. A sensor plate is disposed between the cover plate and the carrier plate and has an at least partly translucent substrate and a sensor layer of an electrically conductive material. The sensor layer has a sensor region of the electrically conductive material forming a sensor electrode and a symbol region without the electrically conductive material forming a symbol that can be backlit by the light source. A configuration of a plurality of capacitive touch switches and an operating device, are also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A capacitive touch switch, comprising:\n an at least partly translucent cover plate having a user side facing a user and a side facing away from said user side; a carrier plate disposed at said side of said cover plate facing away from said user side and disposed at a distance from said side of said cover plate facing away from said user side; a light source mounted on said carrier plate; and a sensor plate disposed between said cover plate and said carrier plate, said sensor plate having an at least partly translucent substrate and a sensor layer formed of an electrically conductive material; said sensor layer having a sensor region formed of said electrically conductive material, said sensor region forming a sensor electrode and a symbol region without said electrically conductive material forming a symbol to be backlit by said light source.
