Flexible circuit routing
First Claim
1. A flex circuit comprising:
- a first line contact portion operable to couple to a first end of a first set of lines;
a second line contact portion operable to couple to a second end of the first set of lines;
a third line contact portion operable to couple to a second set of lines;
a first output portion;
a first set of traces coupling together the first line contact portion, the second line contact portion, and the output portion; and
a second set of traces coupling together the third line contact portion and the output portion, wherein the first set of traces and second set of traces are non-overlapping with each other.

Abstract
Flexible circuits for routing signals of a device, such as a touch sensor panel of a touch sensitive device, are provided. The flexible circuit can include a first set of traces for routing a first set of lines and a second set of traces for routing a second set of lines. The first set of traces can couple together the ends of at least a portion of the first set of lines. Additionally, the first set of traces can be non-intersecting or non-overlapping with the second set of traces. The flexible circuit can have a T-shape configuration and can be incorporated within a touch sensitive device, display device, printed circuit board, or the like. The flexible circuit can be placed over another flexible circuit, and can extend onto the device.
