摘要: A touchpad formed from the combination of a flexible and non-conductive material used for touch-sensitive surface (76), PC board (70) on which is mounted circuitry, wherein sensing electrodes are disposed (76) by creating electrical traces conductive ink, being capable conforming to various arcuate surfaces, through protective housing such that protected, does not come in direct contact with pointing object.
