Touch sensor pattern with floating pads

In various examples there is an apparatus for sensing a touch event. The apparatus has a plurality of transmit electrodes arranged to carry a signal, each of the transmit electrodes comprising a transmit body section and a transmit bridge section. The apparatus has a plurality of receive electrodes arranged to receive the signal via electrostatic coupling with the transmit electrodes, each of the receive electrodes comprising a receive body section and a receive bridge section. Individual ones of the transmit and receive bridge sections are arranged to cross such that a gap is formed between the transmit and receive bridge sections. One or more regions of floating conductive material are positioned in proximity to the transmit and receive body sections, each region comprising one or more members of conductive material extending into the gaps.
