Abstract
An electrode for a touch sensitive device includes micro-wire conductors arranged to define an electrically continuous area and to include interior regions that are electrically discontinuous. The electrically continuous area may be patterned according to a one pattern, and the interior pattern may be patterned according to another pattern.
Claims20
A micro-wire based electrode for use in a touch sensor, the electrode comprising:
- a plurality of continuous micro-wire conductors disposed in a first pattern;
- and
- interior regions comprising a plurality of discontinuous conductive micro-wires disposed in a second pattern, the interior regions bounded by the continuous micro-wire conductors and electrically isolated from the continuous micro-wire conductors, the second pattern a two-dimensional mesh pattern.
