  • Publication number: 20090321148
    Abstract: A touch panel circuitry, which is coupled to a controller, comprises a plurality of electrode strips and a plurality of conductive traces. The electrode strip configured to provide touch signals has two strip ends. The conductive trace is configured for electrically coupling the two strip ends of the corresponding electrode strip so as to form a closed loop circuit. Each conductive trace is also connected to the controller to transmit signals generated by the corresponding electrode strip.
