US Patent 9886141 Mutual and self capacitance touch measurements in touch panel

A touch panel capable of measuring both mutual and self capacitance is disclosed. The touch panel can measure self capacitance and mutual capacitance at various electrode patterns and, based on the self capacitance measurements, the mutual capacitance measurements, or both, calculate a touch signal indicative of an object touching or hovering over the touch panel. In some examples, the measurements can also be used to determine a correction factor, indicative of an adverse condition at the touch panel, and the correction factor used to correct the touch signal for the adverse condition. The touch panel can have a row-column electrode pattern or a pixelated electrode pattern.
