Abstract: A touch panel module including a touch panel and an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is provided. The touch panel includes one or more conductive electrodes and one or more dummy electrodes. The one or more conductive electrodes include at least one of one or more driving electrodes and one or more sensing electrodes. The one or more dummy electrodes are configured to fill areas between the one or more conductive electrodes or areas outside the one or more conductive electrodes. The ESD protection circuit is electrically connected to at least one dummy electrode of the one or more dummy electrodes, and configured to provide an electrostatic discharging path to the at least one dummy electrode. Furthermore, an electrostatic discharging method of the touch panel module is also provided.

Abstract: A touch panel and a method of arranging electrodes thereof are provided. The touch panel includes a plurality of touch patterns. The touch patterns are arranged in an array and respectively include a first transmitter electrode, a second transmitter electrode, and a plurality of receiver electrodes. The second transmitter electrode is parallel to the first transmitter electrode. The receiver electrodes are disposed between the first transmitter electrode and the second transmitter electrode and are respectively adjacent to the first transmitter electrode and the second transmitter electrode. The first transmitter electrode, the second transmitter electrode, and the receiver electrodes do not overlap each other. The first transmitter electrodes of the touch patterns are not connected with each other. The second transmitter electrodes of the touch patterns are not connected with each other.
