Abstract
An array of electrodes is comprised of a plurality of electrodes. Each electrode extends along a first direction X, and is periodically arrayed along a second direction Y perpendicular to X at a pitch p. Each electrode further comprises a continuous periodic metal mesh having a square unit cell of edge length p, the square unit cell having axes displaced by an oblique angle θ from X and Y The array is configured such that θ=arctan (a/b) and p=n*p/(m*sqrt(a+b)), where a, b, m, and n are positive integers. In this way, the electrodes repeat with a finite repeat length, while rendering the common edges of the repeating units visually imperceptible by a user.
