Touch Screen Wires with Reflected-Light Distribution Pattern

The patent applies curvature by forming the detection wires in a meandering or curved pattern rather than straight lines. This curvature causes incident light to reflect in multiple directions rather than creating intense specular reflections, thereby reducing visible reflections while maintaining detection sensitivity. The curved wire configuration scatters reflected light across different angles, preventing concentrated glare that would otherwise interfere with display visibility.

The patent employs asymmetric wire spacing and curvature patterns where wires are denser in regions requiring higher detection precision and sparser in regions where visibility is more critical. The meandering pattern creates asymmetric paths that disrupt regular reflection patterns, reducing visible glare while maintaining detection capability across the touch screen surface.

The patent segments the detection wire network into independent meandering paths with controlled spacing. By dividing the continuous wire structure into segmented sections with optimized curvature and spacing, the patent reduces parasitic capacitance between adjacent wire segments while maintaining sufficient density for accurate touch detection. The segmentation allows each section to be optimized independently for both detection precision and signal transmission speed.

The patent transitions from simple linear wire arrangements to two-dimensional meandering patterns that traverse the touch screen surface. This dimensional change allows wires to cover larger areas with reduced linear density, decreasing inter-wire capacitance while maintaining detection accuracy through increased spatial coverage. The meandering path effectively uses the available space in multiple directions rather than concentrating wires in single dimensions.
