Abstract
A capacitive sensor is provided that includes an array of sensor electrodes deposed in single layer on a substrate. The array includes a number of columns of sensor electrode sets arranged in a row. Each column of the sensor electrode sets includes a plurality of transmitter electrode elements and at least one receiver electrode. The transmitter electrode elements are deposed in a staggered arrangement in a direction of the column, wherein each transmitter electrode element has a trace led out from a first end thereof along the direction of column. The at least one receiver electrode is deposed along the direction of column and is interdigitated with the transmitter electrode elements for capacitively coupling with the transmitter electrode elements. At least part of the transmitter electrode elements has an extension extending from a second end of the transmitter electrode element along a direction opposite the direction of the trace.
