  • Patent number: 9986643
    Abstract: A display circuit board is provided with at least one section being configured as flexible circuit board, wherein the at least one flexible section of the display circuit board has at least one electrode being coupleable with a capacitive sensor device. Furthermore, a display module is provided with a display and a display circuit board. In addition, a method for the production of a display module is provided, wherein the display circuit board is inserted in a module housing together with the display in such a way that the flexible section is at least partially arranged between a side wall of the display and a side wall of the module housing. Finally, an electrical hand-held device, such as a cell phone or the like, is provided with a display module.

  • Patent number: 9525416
    Abstract: A sensor device has at least one first sensor element for detecting a touch and/or an approach, which is configured as a capacitive sensor element and which has a first electrode structure with a transmitting electrode and a reception electrode, wherein a first alternating electrical field emitted by the transmitting electrode may be coupled into the reception electrode,—at least one second sensor element, and—an evaluating device, which is coupled with the at least one first sensor element and with the at least one second sensor element, wherein the evaluating device is configured to evaluate a first signal tapped from the reception electrode of the first sensor element and at least one second signal provided by the second sensor element and to generate at least one detection signal dependent on the evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20140218054
    Abstract: An electrode configuration for a capacitive sensor device of a hand-held device for the touch detection of a user has at least one transmitting electrode, at least one receiving electrode and at least one first field measuring electrode. The electrode configuration enables a detection of the position of the hand-held device relative to the body of a user. A method for the detection of a touch of a hand-held device by a user can also be provided, wherein the method is adjusted to detect the position of the hand-held device relative to the body of a user.
