Abstract

See full text

A projected capacitive touchscreen system has triangular-shaped electrodes coupled to a substrate. Adjacent ones of the electrodes alternate between first and second orientations to form an interleaved arrangement. The electrodes having the first orientation are electrically connected into greater than two groups that each have at least two semi-adjacent electrodes and the electrodes having the second orientation are electrically connected into at least one group that has at least two semi-adjacent electrodes. A controller detects signal levels associated with at least one touch on the substrate from the greater than two groups and the at least one group. The signal levels are used to determine both X and Y coordinate positions of the at least one touch.
