Abstract

A sensor device has a plurality of electrode portions configured to provide one or more electrical signals and a non-conductive material provided on or over the plurality of electrode portions. The one or more electrical signals are provided in response to a change in capacitance between (i) at least one of the plurality of electrode portions and a conductive object being near to or in contact with the non-conductive material, and/or (ii) at least one of the plurality of electrode portions and at least one other of the plurality of electrode portions. A system comprising the sensor device and method of manufacturing the sensor device are also provided.
