Abstract: Electrically conductive films are provided. An electrically conductive film includes a dielectric substrate having a first region adapted to be used in a touch sensor and a second region, adjacent to the first region, not adapted to be used in the touch sensor. The electrically conductive film further includes electrically conductive spaced apart electrodes disposed on the substrate in the first region and adapted to form drive or receive electrodes in the touch sensor, and an electrically conductive pattern disposed on the substrate in the second region. Each electrode extends into the second region and is electrically and physically connected to the conductive first pattern, the conductive first pattern electrically connecting the plurality of the first electrodes. Also, assemblies and methods for removing static electric charge from electrically conductive patterns are provided.
