Patent number: 12210714Abstract: A touch module includes first and second mesh electrode layers respectively with first and second irregular mesh patterns. Line segments of the first irregular mesh pattern are configured to form a first radial pattern having a first intersection point by translation. A top X % fan-blade shape area of line segment density in the first radial pattern is defined as a first dense area, in which X is at least 10. Line segments of the second irregular mesh pattern are configured to form a second radial pattern having a second intersection point by translation. A top X % fan-blade shape area of line segment density in the second radial pattern is defined as a second dense area. When the first radial pattern and the second radial pattern are translated so that the first and second intersection points coincide, the first dense area and the second dense area do not overlap.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: TPK Advanced Solutions Inc.Inventors: Xiang Mei Chen, Tai-Shih Cheng, Lien-Hsin Lee, Liang Liu
