Abstract:
Touch sensor panel configurations and methods for improving touch sensitivity of some or all of the electrodes or portions of the touch sensor panel are disclosed. The touch sensor panel configurations can allow increased speed at which the panel can operate. In some examples, the performance of a given touch electrode can differ from the performance of another touch electrode due to differences in capacitance and/or resistance. The performance of the touch sensor panel can be limited by the touch electrode with the lowest performance relative to the other touch electrodes. The configurations and methods can increase the performance of the touch sensor panel by minimizing the capacitive coupling and/or resistance of touch electrodes. Examples of the disclosure can provide configurations of touch sensor panels and methods for improving optical uniformity of the panel.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of fabricating a touch sensor panel, the method comprising:\n forming a plurality of touch electrodes, including a first set of touch electrodes arranged on a first row and a second set of touch electrodes arranged on a second row, adjacent to the first row; forming one or more channels between the first set of touch electrodes and the second set of touch electrodes; forming a plurality of routing traces in the one or more channels, the plurality of routing traces configured to electrically couple the plurality of touch electrodes to sense circuitry; forming one or more dummy traces in the one or more channels, wherein:\n a first dummy trace of the one or more dummy traces includes a first section located between a first touch electrode and a second touch electrode, adjacent to the first touch electrode, of the first set of touch electrodes; and \n forming a guard layer, the guard layer configured to capacitively couple to the one or more dummy traces.
