Abstract:
In a capacitive touch sensor device, to avoid floating touches causing signal inversion in mutual capacitance measurements, an electrode pattern is used of the type in which the mutual capacitance arises primarily from co-extending electrode portions of the drive and sense electrodes separated by a gap G. The pattern is dimensioned such that the sum of the gap G between co-extending drive and sense electrode portions and the widths Wy of the sense electrodes is made sufficiently small to avoid signal inversion. Namely, the width, Wy, plus the gap, G, is made less than or equal to one of: 4, 3 or 2 times the distance from the touch sensor electrodes to the touch surface, this distance being the touch panel thickness, h.

Claim (Index 11):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the X electrodes comprise zeroth order branches extending in the x direction; the Y electrodes comprise zeroth order branches extending in the y direction, such that it is the zeroth order branches of the X and Y electrodes which cross each other, and such that the zeroth order branches of any two adjacent X electrodes and any two adjacent Y electrodes enclose a sub-area; and the X and Y electrodes each further comprising higher order branches of order n, each of which is confined to the sub-area into which it buds, where order n is a positive integer and where an nth order branch buds from an (n\u22121)th order branch, so that, away from edges of the node array, each node is associated with four sub-areas, and wherein, in each sub-area, the co-extending X and Y electrode portions are at least in part formed by at least some of the higher order X electrode branches and at least some of the higher order Y branches.
