在实务上,互容量测的结果指当手指触碰于感应单元11上时,控制单元114量测到手指造成两个感应单元111之间互容电容改变的结果。具体来说,以两个感应单元111为例,其中一个感应单元111被提供数据信号,另外一个感应单元111感应被提供数据信号的感应单元111所产生的辐射能量。当手指未触碰于感应单元111之上时,两个感应单元111之间具有互容电容。当手指触碰于感应单元111之上时,手指与两个感应单元111之间分别产生电容。手指上的电容、手指与两个感应单元111之间的电容会改变两个感应单元111之间的互容电容。控制单元114可以依据两个感应单元111之间已改变的互容电容或两个感应单元111之间互容电容的改变量来判断手指的触碰。In practice, the result of the mutual capacitance measurement refers to the result that the control unit 114 measures the change of the mutual capacitance between the two sensing units 111 caused by the finger when the finger touches the sensing unit 11 .

That is to say, in the self-capacitance mode, each first data line and each second data line will output a data signal, so that the control unit 114 receives each first data line and each second data line The third sensing data. In practice, since each data line 113 outputs a data signal in the self-capacitance mode, the data line 113 is not actually defined as the first data line and the second data line. Here, the first data line and the second data line The two data lines are only used for illustration of the mutual capacity mode, and are not intended to limit this embodiment.

The third sensing data on the first data line 113 is the result of the self-capacitance measurement of the sensing unit 111 in the first row and the first column. The third sensing data on the second data line 113 is the result of the self-capacitance measurement of the sensing unit 111 in the second row and the first column. The third sensing data on the third data line 113 is the result of the self-capacity measurement of the sensing unit 111 in the third row and the first column, and the third sensing data on the remaining fourth data line 113 to the fifth data line 113 are based on And so on.
于时间区间Prd6中,当第二条扫描线112输出扫描信号G(2)时,亦即第二条扫描线112的电压位准上升时,控制单元114接收5条数据线113上的第三感应数据。第一条数据线113上的第三感应数据为第1行第2列的感应单元111自容量测的结果。第二条数据线113上的第三感应数据为第2行第2列的感应单元111自容量测的结果。第三条数据线113上的第三感应数据为第3行第2列的感应单元111自容量测的结果,其余第四条数据线113到第5条数据线113上的第三感应数据以此类推。In the time interval Prd6, when the second scan line 112 outputs the scan signal G(2), that is, when the voltage level of the second scan line 112 rises, the control unit 114 receives the third signal on the five data lines 113 Sensing data. The third sensing data on the first data line 113 is the result of the self-capacitance measurement of the sensing unit 111 in the first row and the second column. The third sensing data on the second data line 113 is the result of the self-capacitance measurement of the sensing unit 111 in the second row and the second column. The third sensing data on the third data line 113 is the result of the self-capacity measurement of the sensing unit 111 in the third row and the second column, and the third sensing data on the remaining fourth data line 113 to the fifth data line 113 are based on And so on.
当第三条扫描线112至第八条扫描线112输出扫描信号G(3)~G(8)时,同理地,控制单元114接收每一条数据线113自容量测的结果,不再加以赘述。When the third scanning line 112 to the eighth scanning line 112 output the scanning signals G(3)-G(8), similarly, the control unit 114 receives the result of the self-capacitance measurement of each data line 113, and no further repeat.
在实务上,自容量测的结果指当手指触碰于感应单元11上时,控制单元114量测到手指造成感应单元111与接地端之间的自容电容改变的结果。具体来说,当手指未触碰于感应单元111之上时,感应单元111与接地端之间具有自容电容。当手指触碰于感应单元111之上时,手指与感应单元111之间分别产生电容。手指上的电容、手指与感应单元111之间的电容会改变感应单元111与接地端之间的自容电容。控制单元114可以依据感应单元111与接地端之间已改变的自容电容大小或自容电容的改变量来判断手指的触碰。In practice, the result of the self-capacitance measurement refers to the result that the control unit 114 measures the self-capacitance change between the sensing unit 111 and the ground terminal caused by the finger when the finger touches the sensing unit 11 . Specifically, when the finger is not touching the sensing unit 111 , there is a self-capacitance between the sensing unit 111 and the ground terminal. When a finger touches the sensing unit 111 , capacitance is generated between the finger and the sensing unit 111 . The capacitance on the finger and the capacitance between the finger and the sensing unit 111 will change the self-capacitance between the sensing unit 111 and the ground. The control unit 114 can determine the touch of the finger according to the changed self-capacitance or the change amount of the self-capacitance between the sensing unit 111 and the ground terminal.
更进一步地,当触控装置10运用于指纹辨识时,指纹凹凸的纹路使得手指与感应单元111之间的接触面积不同,进而影响于互容模式下两个感应单元111之间分别的互容电容大小,以及于自容模式下感应单元111与接地端之间的自容电容大小。换言之,当手指触碰于触控装置10,让触控装置10辨识手指的指纹时,触控装置10会分别执行互容模式和自容模式的感测。于自容模式下,触控装置10会辨识在每一个感应单元111对应的手指区域的自容量测结果。于互容模式下,触控装置10会辨识两个感应单元111之间所对应的手指区域的互容量测结果。触控装置10依据自容量测结果、互容量测结果,据以达到辨识手指纹的效果。Furthermore, when the touch device 10 is used for fingerprint recognition, the uneven texture of the fingerprint makes the contact area between the finger and the sensing unit 111 different, thereby affecting the mutual capacitance between the two sensing units 111 in the mutual capacity mode. The capacitance, and the self-capacitance capacitance between the sensing unit 111 and the ground terminal in the self-capacitance mode.

In the self-capacitance mode, the touch device 10 will recognize the self-capacitance measurement result of the finger area corresponding to each sensing unit 111 . In the mutual capacity mode, the touch device 10 will recognize the mutual capacity measurement results of the corresponding finger areas between the two sensing units 111 . The touch device 10 achieves the effect of identifying fingerprints according to the self-capacity measurement results and mutual capacity measurement results.

接下来将说明触控装置20运作于自容模式下的感测方法,请一并参考图14至图15,图14为根据本发明又一实施例所绘示之触控装置的感应电极层和控制单元的示意图,图15为根据本发明又一实施例所绘示的触控装置操作于自容模式下的电压时序图。直接以前述具有3条扫描线212、8条数据线213及以3列8行的感应阵列215的实际例子来说,如图所示,于自容模式中,控制单元214从8条数据线213输出数据信号D(1)~D(8),并依序地从3条扫描线212输出扫描信号G(1)~G(3)。于图15中的时间区间Prd5中,当第一条扫描线212输出扫描信号G(1),且第二条扫描线212输出扫描信号G(2)时,第一条数据线213上的第三感应数据为第1行第1列感应单元211的自容电容和第1行第2列感应单元211的自容电容总和。第二条数据线213上的第三感应数据为第2行第1列感应单元211的自容电容和第2行第2列感应单元211的自容电容总和。其余数据线213上的第三感应数据以此类推,每一笔第三感应数据如图14上每一个感应区域W1中的自容电容总和。Next, the sensing method of the touch device 20 operating in the self-capacitance mode will be described. Please refer to FIG. 14 to FIG. 15 together. and a schematic diagram of the control unit, FIG. 15 is a voltage timing diagram of a touch device operating in a self-capacitance mode according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Directly taking the aforementioned practical example of having 3 scanning lines 212, 8 data lines 213 and a sensing array 215 with 3 columns and 8 rows, as shown in the figure, in the self-capacitance mode, the control unit 214 starts from the 8 data lines 213 outputs data signals D( 1 )˜D( 8 ), and sequentially outputs scan signals G( 1 )˜G( 3 ) from the three scan lines 212 . In the time interval Prd5 in FIG. 15 , when the first scan line 212 outputs the scan signal G(1), and the second scan line 212 outputs the scan signal G(2), the first data line 213 on the first The three sensing data are the sum of the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the first row and the first column and the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the first row and the second column. The third sensing data on the second data line 213 is the sum of the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the second row and the first column and the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the second row and the second column. The third sensing data on the other data lines 213 can be deduced by analogy, and each piece of third sensing data is the sum of the self-capacitance in each sensing region W1 as shown in FIG. 14 .
于时间区间Prd6中,当第二条扫描线212输出扫描信号G(2)时,且第三条扫描线212输出扫描信号G(3)时,控制单元214接收8条数据线213上的第三感应数据。此时,第一条数据线213上的第三感应数据为第1行第2列感应单元211的自容电容和第1行第3列感应单元211的自容电容总和。第二条数据线213上的第三感应数据为第2行第2列感应单元211的自容电容和第2行第3列感应单元211的自容电容总和,其余数据线213上的第三感应数据以此类推。此时,每一笔第三感应数据如图14上每一个感应区域W2中的自容电容总和。In the time interval Prd6, when the second scanning line 212 outputs the scanning signal G(2), and when the third scanning line 212 outputs the scanning signal G(3), the control unit 214 receives the eight data lines 213 on the first Three sensing data. At this time, the third sensing data on the first data line 213 is the sum of the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the first row, second column and the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the first row, third column. The third sensing data on the second data line 213 is the sum of the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the second row, the second column, and the self-capacitance of the sensing unit 211 in the second row, third column, and the third sensing data on the remaining data lines 213 Sensing data and so on. At this time, each piece of third sensing data is the sum of the self-capacitance in each sensing region W2 as shown in FIG. 14 .
同理地,当触控装置20运用于指纹辨识时,指纹凹凸的纹路使得手指与感应单元211之间的接触面积不同,进而使触控装置20于互容模式下可以取得感应阵列251中每四个感应单元211的互容电容总和,以及于自容模式下取得感应阵列215中,每两个感应单元211的自容电容总和,据以取得手指各区域指纹造成的感应数据,进而达到辨识手指纹的效果。于本实施例中,当触控装置20的感应阵列215为M列N行的矩阵时,触控装置20取得(2M-1)×(N-1)笔的互容感应数据及M×(N-1)笔的自容应应数据,且感应单元211之间的间隙所对应的手指区域亦可以被感应而计算出电容量,使得触控装置20感应的解析度更为提升。Similarly, when the touch device 20 is used for fingerprint identification, the uneven lines of the fingerprint make the contact area between the finger and the sensing unit 211 different, so that the touch device 20 can obtain each of the sensing array 251 in the mutual capacity mode. The sum of the mutual capacitances of the four sensing units 211, and the sum of the self-capacitances of every two sensing units 211 in the sensing array 215 in the self-capacitance mode are used to obtain the sensing data caused by fingerprints in each area of the finger, and then achieve identification The effect of finger prints. In this embodiment, when the sensing array 215 of the touch device 20 is a matrix of M columns and N rows, the touch device 20 obtains the mutual capacitance sensing data of (2M-1)×(N-1) pens and M×( N-1) The self-capacitance of the pen responds to the data, and the finger area corresponding to the gap between the sensing units 211 can also be sensed to calculate the capacitance, so that the sensing resolution of the touch device 20 is further improved.
于一个实施例中,每一感应单元211中的导电体于扫描线212延伸方向上的长度为导电体于数据线213延伸方向上的长度的1.5倍至3倍。换言之,当导电体于扫描线212延伸方向上的长度为该电体于数据线213延伸方向上的长度的2倍时,于自容模式下,当控制单元214自第二条扫描线212输出扫描信号G(2),且自第三条扫描线212输出扫描信号G(3)时,每一个感应区域W1于扫描线212延伸方向上的长度会大约等于导电体于数据线213延伸方向上的长度。In one embodiment, the length of the conductors in each sensing unit 211 in the extending direction of the scan lines 212 is 1.5 to 3 times the length of the conductors in the extending direction of the data lines 213 . In other words, when the length of the electrical conductor in the direction in which the scanning line 212 extends is twice the length of the electrical body in the direction in which the data line 213 extends, in the self-capacitance mode, when the control unit 214 outputs from the second scanning line 212 When the scanning signal G(2) is scanned and the scanning signal G(3) is output from the third scanning line 212, the length of each sensing area W1 in the direction in which the scanning line 212 extends is approximately equal to the length of the conductor in the direction in which the data line 213 extends length.

In addition, the foregoing description shows that when the control unit 214 outputs the scanning signal G(k) from the kth scanning line 212 for half of the expected time, the control unit 214 will output the scanning signal G(k+ The embodiment of 1) is only for the convenience of description and convenient display of the drawings, and does not limit the scanning signal G(k+1) to be output when the output scanning signal G(k) reaches half of the expected time.
为了更清楚地说明本实施例触控装置的感测方法,请一并参照图1与图16,图16为根据本发明一实施例所绘示的触控装置感测方法的步骤流程图。如图所示,于步骤S301中,于互容模式下,由第i条第一数据线[i]输出数据信号T(i),于步骤S303中,依序地由M条扫描线112其中至少一输出扫描信号。于步骤S305中,当M条扫描线112中第k条扫描线112输出扫描信号G(k)时,接收每一条第二数据线上的第一感应数据。于步骤S307中,切换由第i+1条第一数据线[i+1]输出数据信号T(i+1)。于步骤S309中,当M条扫描线112中第k条扫描线112输出扫描信号G(k)时,接收每一条第二数据线上的第二感应数据。本发明所述的感测方法实际上均已经公开在前述记载的实施例中,本实施例在此不重复说明In order to illustrate the sensing method of the touch device in this embodiment more clearly, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 16 together.

综合以上所述,本发明实施例提供一种触控装置与其感测方法,触控装置藉由控制单元切换地运作于自容模式和互容模式下,使得触控感应的面积和数据量增加,再藉由于互容模式时,触控装置分时地从部分的第一数据线传送数据信号,再从另一部份的第一数据线传送数据信号,使得第二数据线上的感应数据不会是同时与两侧第一数据线互容量测的结果,因此控制单元不会误判感应数据所对应的感应区域。此外,藉由互容模式下的互容量测,使得感应单元之间的间隙区域亦可以被感应为感应数据,进而更为提升触控装置的感应能力和解析度。Based on the above, the embodiments of the present invention provide a touch device and a sensing method thereof. The touch device operates in a self-capacitance mode and a mutual-capacitance mode by switching the control unit, so that the area of touch sensing and the amount of data are increased. , and in mutual capacity mode, the touch device transmits data signals from part of the first data line in time division, and then transmits data signals from another part of the first data line, so that the sensing data on the second data line It will not be the result of mutual capacity measurement with the first data lines on both sides at the same time, so the control unit will not misjudge the sensing area corresponding to the sensing data. In addition, by means of the mutual capacitance measurement in the mutual capacitance mode, the gap area between the sensing units can also be sensed as sensing data, thereby further improving the sensing capability and resolution of the touch device.
