1. A touch sensor comprising:
- a plurality of electrodes or electrode lines that each comprise one or more segments, each of the segments being made of substantially transparent conductive material and extending in a direction; and
on or in one or more of the segments of one or more of the electrodes or electrode lines, a conductive line extending in the direction of the segment, the conductive line comprising a lower resistivity than the substantially transparent conductive material of the segment and having a width that is substantially less than the segment.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a touch sensor includes multiple electrodes or electrode lines that include one or more segments. Each of the segments is made of substantially transparent conductive material and extends in a direction. The touch sensor also includes a conductive line on or in one or more of the segments of the electrodes or electrode lines. The conductive line extends in the direction of the segment. The conductive line also has a lower resistivity than the substantially transparent conductive material of the segment and a width that is substantially less than the segment.
