First Claim
Patent Images
1. Layer electrode for a capacitive touchscreen, comprising:
- a transparent input field matrix of a given first area and a non-transparent edge region of a given second area with electrically conductive regions having supply lines formed such that they can be coupled to a connecting contact and are useful as transmitter-equivalent and receiver-equivalent electrode surfaces, wherein in combination with galvanic connection, the transmitter-equivalent and receiver-equivalent electrode surfaces form at least one interaction zone which form a non-transparent input field of an input field matrix comprising the second area forming a broadened input field area relative to the input field matrix first area.
