Touch sensor panel design
First Claim
1. A touch sensor panel, comprising:
- a plurality of drive lines and sense lines, each drive and sense line formed from an interconnected plurality of sections of conductive material having a first resistivity, the drive and sense lines configured to form an array of capacitive touch sensors;
a first layer of a substantially transparent conductive material deposited over at least part of the plurality of drive and sense lines in a visible area of the touch sensor panel; and
a plurality of interconnectors configured for connecting the plurality of conductive sections in the drive and sense lines and enabling the plurality of drive and sense lines to cross over each other to form the array of mutual-capacitance touch sensors.

Abstract
A touch sensor panel including a plurality of drive lines crossing a plurality of sense lines, forming an array, is disclosed. The plurality of drive lines and the plurality of sense lines are formed by interconnecting a plurality of substantially transparent conductive sections having a first resistivity. A substantially transparent conductive material, with a second resistivity that is lower than the first resistivity, is deposited over at least part of at least one of the plurality of substantially transparent conductive sections of at least one of the plurality of drive lines and the plurality of sense lines. A second layer of the substantially transparent conductive material, with the second resistivity, can be deposited thereafter. At least one dummy section is disposed in an area of the touch sensor panel around the conductive sections of at least one of the plurality of drive lines and the plurality of sense lines.
