Using electrodes separated from the PCB

It is possible to use surface electrodes which create a sensitive area on the bottom surface

of the panel and are not close to the PCB.

One option is to print an electrode array on the inner surface of the front panel. In this case,

the electrode shape rules are as described in Chapter 3.1, and the materials are as

described in Chapter 2.2.2. The sensors can be connected using spring contacts,

conductive foam or rubber, or a flex tail attached using ACF/ACP (d)(see Figure 22).

Remember that, with this technique, the area where the interconnection is made is touch-

sensitive too.
