Conductive trace routing for display and bezel sensors
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a display panel including;
display sensors disposed in a display area of the display panel and configured to detect proximity of objects relative to a surface of the display panel; and
bezel sensors disposed in a bezel of the display panel that are also configured to detect proximity of the objects relative to a surface of the display panel;
one or more computing components configured to process inputs received from the display sensors and the bezel sensors to identify gestures; and
a plurality of conductive traces, routed between the display sensors and the bezel sensors, the conductive traces communicatively coupling the display sensors and the bezel sensors to the one or more computing components.

Abstract
Conductive trace routing techniques for display and bezel sensors are described. In one or more implementations, an apparatus includes display sensors, bezel sensors, and a plurality of conductive traces. The display sensors are configured to detect proximity of an object and are arranged in conjunction with a display area of a display device to support interaction with a user interface displayed by the display device. The bezel sensors are configured to detect proximity of an object and are disposed in a bezel that at least partially surrounds the display device and is outside the display area. The plurality of conductive traces are disposed between the display and bezel sensors and communicatively couple the display sensors and the bezel sensors to one or more computing components that are configured to process inputs received from the display sensors and the bezel sensors.
