Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display device includes a display having an array of pixels, the pixels separated by inter-pixel gaps in at least one dimension and an electrode having a length and width located over the display and extending across at least a portion of the array of pixels, the electrode including a plurality of electrically connected micro-wires formed in a micro-pattern. The micro-pattern includes gap micro-wires located between the pixels in the inter-pixel gaps and substantially extending continuously along the electrode length.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A display device, comprising: a display having an array of pixels formed in a pixel layer, the pixels separated by inter-pixel gaps in at least one dimension; first and second electrically separate electrodes formed in layers different from the pixel layer, each of the first and second electrodes having a length and width located over the display and extending across the array of pixels over two or more pixels in the pixel layer, each of the first an…
