1. A capacitive touch screen panel (TSP), comprising:
- a plurality of TSP sections assembled in a planar arrangement to provide a unitary user interface area, wherein each one of the plurality of TSP sections is configured for independent activation/deactivation with respect to other ones of the plurality of TSP sections,and each one of the plurality of TSP sections comprises;
an active vertical edge configured to transfer touch sensing signals on row lines extending across the TSP section to an external signal processing circuit, and a terminal vertical edge configured for assembly with a terminal vertical edge of another one of the plurality of TSP sections;
an active horizontal edge configured to transfer touch sensing signals on column lines extending across the TSP section to the external signal processing circuit, and a terminal horizontal edge configured for assembly with a terminal horizontal edge of another one of the plurality of TSP sections; and
wherein the plurality of TSP sections comprises first, second, third and fourth TSP sections assembled in a quadrature planar arrangement, the first and second TSP sections being connected via respective terminal vertical edges and the third and fourth TSP sections being connected via respective terminal vertical edges, and the first and third TSP sections being connected via respective terminal horizontal edges and the second and fourth TSP sections being connected via respective terminal horizontal edges.
