TOUCH SENSOR PANEL DESIGN
First Claim
1. A touch sensor panel, comprising:
- a plurality of drive lines formed by interconnecting sections of a first conductive material having a truncated diamond shape;
a plurality of sense lines formed by interconnecting sections of the first conductive material having a truncated diamond shape on a same layer as the plurality of drive lines; and
a plurality of insulating interconnect sections of a second conductive material configured for enabling the plurality of drive and sense lines to cross over each other to form an array of capacitive touch sensors.

Abstract
A touch sensor panel including a plurality of drive lines crossing a plurality of sense lines, forming an array. The plurality of drive lines and the plurality of sense lines are formed by interconnecting sections of at least one conductive material having a truncated diamond shape or formed of interconnected conductive lines. At least one conductive dummy region may be disposed in an area of the touch sensor panel around the truncated diamond shape sections or interconnected conductive lines of the plurality of drive lines and the plurality of sense lines. One or more lines may be formed overlapping the interconnected sections of each of the plurality of drive lines and the plurality of sense lines.
