Touch Electrode Layout for Wider Connection Channels

The patent applies local quality by creating excision portions (removed areas) in specific locations of the touch electrode blocks, particularly in corner regions. This local modification increases the width of connection channels between adjacent electrode blocks at critical interfaces without altering the overall electrode structure, thereby reducing contact resistance locally where connections occur while maintaining the general connectivity pattern.

The patent introduces corner extension portions that protrude from corner regions of touch electrode blocks into the connection channels between adjacent blocks. This dimensional addition extends the conductive path laterally into the gap between blocks, effectively increasing the connection channel width and providing multiple parallel conduction paths, which reduces overall contact resistance.

The patent employs asymmetry by applying different modification strategies to different parts of the electrode blocks. Corner regions receive extension portions that add conductive material, while side regions may have excision portions that remove material to widen channels. This asymmetric treatment allows optimization of connection channels in different locations based on their specific connectivity requirements, maintaining overall electrode block connectivity while reducing resistance at critical interfaces.

The patent segments the touch electrode blocks into distinct regions with different geometric characteristics - corner regions with extension portions and side regions with excision portions. This segmentation allows each region to be optimized independently for its specific function: corner regions focus on providing robust connection paths through extensions, while side regions focus on widening connection channels through excisions, collectively maintaining connectivity while reducing resistance.
