Mutual hover protection for touchscreens
Abstract:
A capacitive sensing structure includes a first sensing electrode located in a first layer for sensing a first capacitance and producing a first sense signal indicative of the sensed first capacitance. A transmit electrode is located in the first layer and positioned surrounding 90%+ of a perimeter of the first sensing electrode. A second sensing electrode is located in the first layer and positioned surrounding 90%+ of a perimeter of the transmit electrode, the second sensing electrode to sense a second capacitance and produce a second sense signal indicative of the sensed second capacitance. Controller circuitry receives the first and second sense signals, compares a change in the sensed first capacitance to a change in the sensed second capacitance, and produces an output signal indicative of a user touch based upon the comparison between the change in the sensed first capacitance and the change in the sensed second capacitance.
