Abstract

An electromagnetic touch device including a sensor panel and a driving circuit is provided. The sensor panel includes multiple sensor coils independently driven. Each of the sensor coils includes a first connecting terminal, a second connecting terminal, and a coil wiring connected between the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal. The coil wiring includes multiple conductor wires that are connected in parallel. The driving circuit is electrically connected to the sensor coils.

Claims (12)
