METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTACT AND PERCOLATION HYBRID MODE TRANSPARENT FORCE SENSOR

A method and system for a touch screen having a contact and percolation hybrid operating mode includes a top layer, an intermediate layer, and a bottom layer. The top layer has a top side receiving a touch input. The intermediate layer is disposed beneath the top layer. The intermediate layer measures pressure data where the pressure data is indicative of distinguishing the touch input between a first touch and a second touch. The first touch has a first pressure less than a second pressure of the second touch. The bottom layer is disposed beneath the intermediate layer and receives at least one of position data, time data, and the pressure data of the touch input.
