Patent attributes
A capacitive sensing array includes an array of electrodes; first conductive data lines arranged in a first direction and second conductive data lines arranged in a second direction different from the first direction; first switching elements configured to connect each electrode to a first conductive line in the first direction, and second switch elements configured to connect each electrode to a second conductive line in the second direction; and control lines connected to the first and second switching elements. Electrical connections are present between each first conductive data line in the first direction and a second conductive data line in the second direction such that each first conductive line in the first direction is connected to at least one second conductive line in the second direction. A touch panel display device includes the capacitive sensing array implemented as an active matrix touch sensor panel integrated with a display, and a controller that applies drive signals and measures capacitance during different time periods.
