  • Borderless projected capacitive multitouch sensor
    Patent number: 10101860
    Abstract: A projected capacitive touch sensor includes a sensor grid. The sensor grid includes one or more electrically conductive rows arranged in an at least partially transparent row layer. The sensor grid includes one or more electrically conductive columns arranged in an at least partially transparent column layer that is spaced apart from the row layer. The projected capacitive touch sensor includes a border region that surrounds at least a portion of the sensor grid. The border region includes a wired bus region that includes a row bus that extends from the one or more electrically conductive rows and a column bus that extends from the one or more electrically conductive columns. The projected capacitive touch sensor includes one or more connectors that are electrically connected to the row bus and the column bus. The wired bus region is configured to fold over an edge of a borderless display.
