Abstract
A touch screen is disclosed having a length and a height, and comprising interspaced and galvanically isolated first and second arrays of touch pads; wherein the first array of touch pads comprises a plurality of first strings of series-connected touch pads, each first string forming a drive line and extending in a first general direction; wherein the second array of touch pads comprises a plurality of second strings of series-connected touch pads, each second string forming a read line and extending in a second general direction, different to said first general direction; wherein the first general direction and the second general direction are each different from the length direction; and wherein the touch screen is configured for capacitive-based sensing which may be based on a change in a mutual capacitance between individual ones of the drive lines and individual ones of the read lines.
