Abstract
A capacitive touch panel includes elongated drive electrodes arranged next to one another and elongated sense electrodes arranged next to one another across the elongated drive electrodes. One or more of the elongated drive electrodes defines a notch along an edge of a drive electrode, where the notch is positioned between adjacent sense electrodes. In some embodiments, the drive electrode also defines a generally opposing notch on an opposing edge of the drive electrode. Additionally, one or more of the elongated sense electrodes can define an elongated aperture, and a second notch can be defined along the edge of the drive electrode proximate to the elongated aperture.
