FUNNELED TOUCH SENSOR ROUTING
First Claim
1. A touch sensor panel comprising:
- a first touch pixel coupled to a first sense connection and a second touch pixel coupled to a second sense connection, the first sense connection having a first portion disposed in a first active region of the touch sensor panel between the first touch pixel and the second touch pixel, and the second sense connection having a second portion disposed in the first active region; and
a third touch pixel coupled to a third sense connection and a fourth touch pixel coupled to a fourth sense connection, the third sense connection having a third portion disposed in the first active region and a fourth portion disposed in a second active region of the touch sensor panel between the third touch pixel and the fourth touch pixel, and the fourth sense connection having a fifth portion disposed in the first active region and a sixth portion disposed in the second active region,wherein;
a width of the fourth portion of the third sense connection is larger than a width of the third portion of the third sense connection, andwidths of the first portion of the first sense connection, the second portion of the second sense connection, the third portion of the third sense connection and the fifth portion of the fourth sense connection are substantially the same in the first active region.

Abstract
A touch sensor panel. In some examples, a first touch pixel can be coupled to a first sense connection, and a second touch pixel can be coupled to a second sense connection. In some examples, a first portion of the first sense connection can be disposed in a first region of the touch sensor panel, a second portion of the second sense connection can be disposed in the first region, and a third portion of the second sense connection can be disposed in a second region of the touch sensor panel. In some examples, a width of the third portion of the second sense connection can be larger than a width of the second portion of the second sense connection.

21. A method of creating a touch sensor panel layout, the method comprising:
-
providing an initial sense connection characteristic for a sense connection, the sense connection configured to be coupled to a touch pixel; determining a figure of merit associated with the sense connection and the touch pixel; determining whether the initial sense connection characteristic can be modified to improve the figure of merit; and in accordance with a determination that the figure of merit can be improved, modifying the initial sense connection characteristic to improve the figure of merit. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
