Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An assembly includes first electrode pairs and second electrode pairs distributed across an active area of a touchscreen. Each electrode pair of the first electrode pairs is formed in a pattern, the patterns of the first electrode pairs decreasing in frequency of snaking from electrode pair to electrode pair in a first direction. Each electrode pair of the second electrode pairs is formed in a pattern, the patterns of the second electrode pairs increasing in frequency of snaking from electrode pair to electrode pair in the first direction. A position of a touch can be determined in the first direction based at least in part on proportionate density of the first electrode pairs and the second electrode pairs in an area of the touch. At least one receive electrode in the first electrode pairs is directly coupled to at least one receive electrode in the second electrode pairs.
