Tail Effect Correction for SLIM Pattern Touch Panels

A method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of measurements that are measured from a sensor array, wherein the plurality of measurements are representative of a conductive object that is in contact with or proximate to the sensor array;
• wherein the sensor array comprises a plurality of receive (RX) electrodes and a plurality of transmit (TX) electrodes, wherein the plurality of RX electrodes and the plurality of TX electrodes are interleaved without intersecting each other within a touch-sensing area in a single layer on a substrate of the sensor array;
• a processing device determining a set of adjustment values that correspond to a tail effect associated with the conductive object represented by the plurality of measurements;
• and
• generating adjusted measurements corresponding to the conductive object represented by the plurality of measurements based on the set of adjustment values, wherein the adjusted measurements correct the tail effect.

A system comprising:

• a capacitive sensor array comprising a plurality of receive (RX) electrodes and a plurality of transmit (TX) electrodes, wherein the plurality of RX electrodes and the plurality of TX electrodes are interleaved without intersecting each other within a touch-sensing area in a single layer on a substrate of the capacitive sensor array;
• a capacitive sensor coupled with the capacitive sensor array, the capacitive sensor configured to measure a plurality of measurements from the plurality of RX electrodes, wherein the plurality of measurements are representative of a conductive object that is in contact with or proximate to the capacitive sensor array;
• and
• a processing logic coupled with the capacitive sensor, wherein the processing logic is configured at least to:
• determine a set of adjustment values that correspond to a tail effect associated with the conductive object represented by the plurality of measurements;
• and
• generate adjusted measurements corresponding to the conductive object represented by the plurality of measurements based on the set of adjustment values, wherein the adjusted measurements correct the tail effect.
