Transparent overlay input device

A transparent overlay input device (300/400) includes a transparent non-conductive substrate (306/406), a plurality of transparent conductive electrode pairs (308A, 308B/408A, 408B) and a transparent non-conductive cover (310/410A). The plurality of transparent conductive electrode pairs (308A, 308B/408A, 408B) are formed on the substrate (306/406) and each form a proximity sensitive region and include a first electrode that receives an input signal and a second electrode that provides an output signal. The first and second electrodes are capacitively coupled and the capacitance of the electrode pair changes when a conductive member, e.g., a user's finger, is located near the electrode pair (308A, 308B/408A, 408B). The transparent non-conductive cover (310/410A) is formed on the substrate (306/406) over the electrode pairs (308A, 308B/408A, 408B).
