1. A capacitance module, comprising:
a capacitance electrode on a first substrate;
shielding material disposed on a second substrate where the second substrate is aligned with the first substrate;
an antenna;
wherein the shielding material is between the antenna and the capacitance electrode; and
a continuous opening defined in the shielding material;
wherein the continuous opening includes a branching shape, the branching shape comprising a stem and multiple branches extending from the stem;
wherein the continuous opening overlaps with the antenna;
wherein the multiple branches of the continuous opening form multiple discontinuous annular regions;
wherein at least two of the multiple discontinuous annular regions are electrically connected to each other with a shielding bridge.
