Abstract:
A capacitive touch sensor panel of present invention includes a metal panel with a plurality of electrically isolated and separated metal buttons. A capacitive touch sensor also includes a dielectric layer attached to the backend of said metal panel and to the backend of said metal buttons, and a circuit bearing structure attached to said metal panel and having a plurality of sensor pads located directly beneath said metal buttons, and wherein the circuit bearing structure has a capacitive coupling between each of the sensor pads and the grounded parts of said circuit bearing structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A capacitive touch sensor panel, manufactured by a process comprises the steps of:\n i. providing a metal panel, wherein an exterior front surface thereof configured to be used as said touch sensor panel; ii. attaching a dielectric layer to the backend of a said metal panel; and iii. separating and thereby creating separated and electrically isolated individual metal buttons from said front surface of said metal panel, subsequently to said attaching of said dielectric layer; and iv. attaching an appropriate electronic circuit bearing structure to said metal panel; wherein said capacitive touch sensor panel resulting aforesaid steps comprising: a) said metal panel having a plurality of said electrically isolated and metal buttons, characterized by that said electrically isolated buttons have been separated from said front surface of said metal panel, after said attaching of said dielectric layer; b) said dielectric layer attached to said backend of said metal panel and to a backend of said individual metal buttons; and c) said electronic circuit bearing structure attached to said metal panel and having a plurality of sensor pads located directly beneath said individual metal buttons, wherein said electronic circuit bearing structure comprises a capacitive coupling between each of said sensor pads and at least one grounded part of said circuit bearing structure.
