BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrode structure of a single-sided touch sensor, and more particularly, to an apparatus for improving touch sensitivity and resolution by eliminating dead zones.
The touch sensor may be classified into a stacked touch sensor that detects a touch position by stacking a plurality of sensing layers and a single-sided touch sensor that senses a touch area with one sensing layer. The stacked touch sensor blocks a horizontal position sensing layer configured as a driving electrode for sensing a horizontal position, a vertical position sensing layer configured as a receiving electrode for sensing a vertical position, and electrical noise for the horizontal sensing layer and the vertical sensing layer. It consists of a shielding layer for.
As described above, the stacked touch sensor that senses a touch position by using two sensing layers and a shielding layer has a drawback in that the thickness of the product increases.
As an alternative to this, the single-sided touch sensor that detects the touch position using only one sensing layer has an advantage of reducing the size of the product by configuring only one layer.
However, the single-sided touch sensor configures both the driving electrode and the receiving electrode used in the two layers of the stacked structure in one sensing layer. In this case, in the conventional structure, the receiving electrode trace is disposed between the driving electrode and the receiving electrode. There was a difficulty in signal processing of the receiving electrode.
The present invention provides a single-sided touch sensor with improved touch sensitivity by changing the electrode structure of the single-sided touch sensor.
More specifically, the cross-sectional touch sensor electrode structure is configured symmetrically to equalize the intensity of the signal applied to the two receiving electrodes (Rx1, Rx2) to provide a single-sided touch sensor with improved sensitivity of the touch sensor.
