Abstract:
A capacitive touch sensitive apparatus includes a touch sensitive viewing area configured to detect a location of a touch applied to the touch sensitive viewing area by detecting a change in a coupling capacitance. A border area surrounds the touch sensitive viewing area. An electrically conductive first electrode includes an active portion disposed in and extending across the touch sensitive viewing area and an end portion at an end of the first electrode disposed in the border area for connection to a controller. The active portion of the first electrode has a substantially uniform first sheet resistance across the viewing area. The end portion of the first electrode is patterned in the form of an electrically conductive mesh including a plurality of interconnected conductive traces defining a plurality of interstices therebetween, the traces having substantially the first sheet resistance, and the interstices having a higher second sheet resistance.

Claim (Index 7):
A capacitive touch sensitive apparatus, comprising:\n an optically transparent substrate defining a touch sensitive viewing area surrounded by a border area; a plurality of spaced apart electrically conductive optically transparent first electrodes disposed on the substrate in the touch sensitive area and extending along a first direction (x); a plurality of spaced apart electrically conductive optically transparent second electrodes disposed on the substrate in the touch sensitive area and extending along a different second direction (y), the touch sensitive apparatus being configured to detect a location of a touch applied in the touch sensitive area by detecting a change in a coupling capacitance between a first and a second electrode traversing each other near the touch location, each first and second electrode comprising a plurality of intersecting electrically conductive nanowires, each first and second electrode comprising an active portion disposed in and extending across the touch sensitive viewing area and an end portion at an end of the electrode disposed on the substrate in the border area, the end portion patterned in the form of an electrically conductive regular mesh comprising a plurality of interconnected conductive traces defining a plurality of insulative interstices therebetween; and a plurality of electrically conductive bus lines disposed on the substrate in the border area, each bus line having a first end portion terminating at a connection region in the border area for connection to a controller and an opposite second end portion terminating at and substantially covering the plurality of interconnected conductive traces and the plurality of insulative interstices of a corresponding first or second electrode, the second end portion of the bus adhered to the substrate in the plurality of interstices.
