Touch location detecting panel having a simple layer structure

A touch location detecting panel comprising:

• a touch detecting area that is arrayed with M×N (M rows and N columns) sensing areas on a surface of a substrate, wherein each of M and N is an integer greater than or equal to 3, each sensing area including:
• a first partitioned electrode to detect a row-axis location of a touch, the touch being applied to the touch detecting area,
• a second partitioned electrode to detect a column-axis location of the touch, the second partitioned electrode being electrically isolated from the first partitioned electrode;
• wherein the M first partitioned electrodes in each column are electrically connected to one another;
• wherein the N second partitioned electrodes in each row are contiguously connected to one another;
• a wiring area bordering the touch detecting area that includes a plurality of connection lines;
• a touch detecting circuit electrically connected to the touch detecting area through the connection lines;
• and
• wherein each sensing area in the M×N array includes its own separate and distinct first partitioned electrode.

A touch location detecting panel comprising:

• a touch detecting area including an array of sensing areas arranged two-dimensionally on a surface of a substrate;
• a wiring area outside the touch detecting area that includes a plurality of connection lines, wherein each of the array of sensing areas includes:
• a first partitioned electrode detecting a first axis location of a touch, the touch being applied to the touch detecting area;
• and
• a second partitioned electrode detecting a second axis location of the touch, the second partitioned electrode being electrically separated from the first partitioned electrode;
• wherein first partitioned electrodes arrayed at the same position on the first axis are electrically connected to one another;
• wherein second partitioned electrodes arrayed at the same position on the second axis are contiguously connected to one another in the touch detecting area to form a sensing bar extended along the first axis direction;
• a touch detecting circuit electrically connected to the touch detecting area through the connection lines;
• wherein when the first axis location detected from one of the first partitioned electrodes and the second axis location detected from one of the second partitioned electrodes are in two different sensing areas, when no second axis location is detected from the second partitioned electrode in the sensing area that detects the first axis location, and when no first axis location is detected from the first partitioned electrode in the sensing area that detects the second axis location, the touch detecting circuit determines the second axis location of the touch to be a location in between the two second partitioned electrodes of the two different sensing areas;
• and
• wherein each sensing area in the array includes its own separate and distinct first partitioned electrode.

• and
• a second partitioned electrode for detecting a second axis location of the touch, the second partitioned electrode being electrically separated from the first partitioned electrode;
• wherein first partitioned electrodes arrayed at the same position on the first axis are electrically connected to one another through the first portion and the second portion of the plurality of wirings;
• wherein second partitioned electrodes arrayed at the same position on the second axis are contiguously connected to one another in the touch detecting area to form a sensing bar extended along the first axis direction;
