Touchscreen with extended conductive pattern

A touch device, comprising:

• a capacitive touch sensor pattern including:
• a first conductor including a plurality of first areas that are separate from one another and electrically coupled to one another along a first direction, the plurality of first areas forming at least a portion of a first sensing line that includes the plurality of first areas and a plurality of first openings;
• a second conductor including a plurality of second areas that are separate from one another and electrically coupled to one another along a second direction other than the first direction, the plurality of second areas forming at least a portion of a second sensing line that includes the plurality of second areas and a plurality of second openings;
• wherein each of the plurality of first areas and each of the plurality of second areas are solid areas of conductive material;
• wherein select ones of the first areas being axially aligned within corresponding select ones of the second openings;
• wherein select ones of the second areas being axially aligned within corresponding select ones of the first openings;
• wherein the first sensing line further includes an additional opening;
• and
• wherein the second sensing line further includes an extended area coupled to the plurality of second areas and complementarily aligned within the additional opening;
• and
• a circuitry that provides an energizing signal to the first conductor and detects a change in the energizing signal caused by a user's interaction with the touch device.

A capacitive touch sensor pattern, comprising:

• a plurality of parallel first conductors, each including a plurality of first areas that are electrically coupled to one another along a first direction and separate from one another, at least one of the plurality of first areas within at least one of the plurality of first conductors being a shaped area having a different shape from a shape of the other first areas of the at least one of the plurality of first conductors by having an opening within the shaped area;
• a plurality of parallel second conductors, each including a plurality of second areas that are electrically coupled to one another along a second direction other than the first direction and separate from one another, at least one of the plurality of second conductors including a complementary extended area coupled to the plurality of second areas of the at least one of the plurality of second conductors and complementarily aligned with the opening of the shaped area;
• a plurality of first extended areas extending from each of the plurality of parallel first conductors in the second direction such that the plurality of first extended areas are interlaced with first conductors of the plurality of first conductors;
• and
• a plurality of second extended areas extending from each of the plurality of parallel second conductors in the first direction such that the plurality of second extended areas are interlaced with second conductors of the plurality of second conductors.
