Abstract:
A capacitive touch sensor device comprising set of crossing X and Y electrodes whose crossing points form a two-dimensional array of nodes which define a touch sensitive area made up of rectilinear sub-areas bounded by adjacent pairs of X and Y electrodes. The main electrode branches are referred to as zeroth order branches, since, in each sub-area, there are also higher order branches arranged such that some higher order X branches interdigitate with some higher order Y branches separated by a gap suitable for making a mutual capacitance measurement. The electrode branches are implemented as a fine mesh. The fine mesh comprises criss-crossing lines of conductive material which have gaps in between that are free of conductive material. Some of the criss-crossing lines include breaks formed by absence of individual length portions of the criss-crossing lines that form the mesh.

Claim (Index 13):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein, in each sub-area, the area covered collectively by the X and Y electrodes, including their zeroth and higher order branches, is less than one of 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% of the sub-area, wherein the percentage values specified for said area deem the micro-areas to be part of said area.
