  • Interleaved electrodes for touch sensing
    Patent number: 8004499
    Abstract: A capacitive touch sensing system includes a touch surface and sets of substantially parallel electrodes arranged in relation to the touch surface. Each electrode set includes a primary electrode electrically connected to at least two sub-electrodes. The primary electrode is capable of producing greater capacitive coupling to a touch in proximity with the touch surface in relation to capacitive coupling of the at least two sub-electrodes. The sub-electrodes of the electrode sets are arranged in an interleaved pattern configured to increase an effective area of capacitive coupling associated with each electrode set.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 23, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2011
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
