- Touch sensing techniques are important as they are essential for touch panels in modern electronic equipment, but are tricky to distinguish human finger from water drop/other interferences. In this work, the sensor cell developed by the mutual-coupling electrical field shaping technique is more effective compared to other existing touch sensing techniques. The empirical evaluation from the prototype fabricated shows that this new method achieved a significant improvement of sensing cell performance. In collaboration with industry, the technique has subsequently been tested in product design across a range of applications (Vice President for R&D, M3 Technology Inc.).
