Abstract: A capacitive touch system including a capacitive touch sensor and a controller is provided. The sensor includes a first and a second substrate, a first and a second electrode arrangement, and a floating electrode arrangement. The first electrode arrangement and the floating electrode arrangement are disposed on different parts of the first substrate. The first and the second electrode arrangements are used to produce an electric field. A change in the characteristic of the electric field occurs when the touch sensor is touched. The floating electrode arrangement has multiple insulation slits for the electric field to pass through. The first and the floating electrode arrangements are electrically insulated through the slits, and multiple floating electrode units in the floating electrode arrangement are also electrically insulated from one another through the slits. The controller outputs a control signal based on the change in the characteristic of the electric field.

Abstract: Layer structure for a touch panel, and a touch panel using the same are provided. In an embodiment, the layer structure includes a substrate; a transparent conductive layer, and an opaque area. The transparent conductive layer, disposed on the substrate, includes at least one electrode. The opaque area, disposed on a peripheral area of the transparent conductive layer, includes a conductive film layer. In addition, the opaque area can further include a dielectric film layer.
