The touch panel includes a plurality of touch pads arranged in an array on the touch panel. Each of the touch pads are arranged in N columns and M rows, the touch pad in the icolumn and in the jrow is coupled to the touch pad in the (i&#x2212;1)column and in the (j&#x2212;1)row and the touch pad in the (i+1)column and in the (j+1)row, or the touch pad in the icolumn and in the jrow is coupled to the touch pad in the (i+1)column and in the (j&#x2212;1)row and the touch pad in the (i&#x2212;1)column and in the (j+1)row.

Touch panel

A touch panel module including a touch panel area and a non-touch panel area is provided. The touch panel module includes a touch panel. The touch panel is located in the touch panel area. The touch panel senses a touch gesture by using a plurality of first and second sensing electrodes. At least one part of the first sensing electrodes is located in the non-touch panel area. Another one part of the first sensing electrodes and a whole of the second sensing electrodes are located in the touch panel area. The touch gesture touches the touch panel module to generate a touch area. A touch position corresponding to the touch gesture on the touch panel is determined based on a ratio of an area of the first sensing electrodes touched by the touch gesture and the touch area.
