Description

Hand input device
Technical field
The present invention is about a kind of hand input device, particularly about a kind of hand input device that can be applicable to the display surface of electronic installation.
Background technology
Along with science and technology progresses greatly day by day, the diversification that becomes of healing of the input media of electronic product.And in numerous input medias, except making us most familiar keyboard and mouse, input medias such as Trackpad or handwriting pad are also more and more common.Recently Trackpad and display integrate, and are applied in the electronic installations such as ATM withdrawal machine, automatic fee system and bill inquiry system, directly on display icon or literal are clicked input to allow the user.
And handwriting pad has higher reaction velocity and detection sensitivity than Trackpad, is applied to the display surface of flat computer for example or PDA(Personal Digital Assistant).Portable product such as flat computer and PDA is not only saved required space of traditional input media and volume by handwriting pad, to reach the lightening of product; And the handwriting input mode then makes the man-machine interface of electronic installation more meet the demand of hommization.
Please refer to shown in Figure 1ly, it is the synoptic diagram of an existing resistor type touch control plate (touch panel) 10.Trackpad 10 can be applicable in the electronic installation, and it comprises a current-carrying plate 12, an electrically conductive elastic rete 16 and a plurality of spacing frame glue (spacer) 14.Wherein, electrically conductive elastic rete 16 is positioned at the top of current-carrying plate 12, and 14 clampings of spacing frame glue are separated from each other current-carrying plate 12 and electrically conductive elastic rete 16 in 16 of current-carrying plate 12 and electrically conductive elastic retes.
The relative dual-side 12a and the 12b of current-carrying plate 12 are connected with different voltage level, and make the voltage gradient that produces on the current-carrying plate 12 perpendicular to Y direction among the figure.Simultaneously, the relative dual-side 16a and the 16b of this electrically conductive elastic rete 16 also are connected with different voltage level, and make the voltage gradient that produces on the electrically conductive elastic rete perpendicular to X-direction among the figure.When finger electrically conductive elastic rete 16 is exerted pressure, electrically conductive elastic rete 16 is contacted with current-carrying plate 12.To cause the voltage level distribution on current-carrying plate 12 and the electrically conductive elastic rete 16 to change.And see through the voltage level value of detecting 16 4 corner location of electrically conductive elastic rete, can infer the position that presses of finger.
It should be noted that, this resistor type touch control plate 10 is desirable not to the utmost on resolution and reaction velocity, can't fully satisfy the demand of handwriting input, the situation that input signal can't interpretation may take place when hand-written speed is very fast, therefore only be used in the touch-control input of mobile computer replacing mouse, or provide the input that clicks icon on the surface of part electronic equipment display.
Please refer to Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B, it is the vertical view and the sectional view of an existing handwriting pad 20; Fig. 2 B is corresponding to the a-a profile line among Fig. 2 A.As Fig. 2 B, this handwriting pad 20 comprises a transistor plate 21, a plurality of conductive area 27, an electrically conductive elastic rete 28 and spacing frame glue 29.
By Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B, transistor plate 21 comprises thin film transistor (TFT) 22, a plurality of signal wire 24, a plurality of sweep trace 26 and a protective seam 23 of a substrate 25, arrayed.Wherein, a plurality of signal wires 24 vertically are arranged on the substrate 25, and a plurality of sweep trace 26 is transversely arranged on substrate 25, to mark off a plurality of grids.Each thin film transistor (TFT) 22 lays respectively in these grids, and its drain D is connected to adjacent signal wire 24, and grid G is connected to adjacent scanning lines 26.Protective seam 23 covers on the substrate 25, to protect those thin film transistor (TFT)s 22, those signal wires 24 and those sweep traces 26.
A plurality of conductive area 27 are formed on the transistor plate 21, and each conductive area 27 passes protective seam 23 respectively and be connected to the source S of thin film transistor (TFT) 22, electrically connect to produce with thin film transistor (TFT) 22.Electrically conductive elastic rete 28 is positioned at the top of those conductive area 27, is spacing frame glue 29 between the two (27,28).Spacing frame glue 29 is arranged on transistor plate 21 surfaces, and is surrounded on the part on every side on its surface.
When handwriting pad 20 is exerted pressure, be example with the pointer, the part electrically conductive elastic rete 28 that is pressed contacts corresponding conductive area 27.The two (27,28) contact an electric signal of institute's conducting, are passed to the source S of corresponding thin film transistor (TFT) 22.At the same time, transistor plate 21 can see through sweep trace 26 and scan electric signal, with to the electric signal that feeds each thin film transistor (TFT) 22 by the row sampling, and by the position of the pairing thin film transistor (TFT) 22 of this electric signal of signal wire 24 interpretations, to differentiate the position that presses of pointer.
Wherein, transistor plate 21 scannings are very fast with the speed of interpretation electric signal, for example under the sweep frequency of 60Hz, only need about 16 milliseconds can finish electric signal scanning to whole thin film transistor (TFT) 22.And utilize the manufacturing technology of integrated circuit, can make transistor plate 21 have high thin film transistor (TFT) 22 and actively spend.Therefore, be enough to satisfy the demand of handwriting input on resolution and the reaction velocity.
Yet existing handwriting pad 20 utilizes the transistor plate 21 in the flat-panel screens technology, and the cost of its manufacturing still belongs to higher for input media, still is difficult to the utilization of essence on the invested in plant at present.In addition, when being arranged at the display surface of electronic installations such as flat computer or PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) when handwriting pad 20, handwriting pad 20 also is another emphasis that need consider for the influence of display quality.Display is example with the liquid crystal panel, if its surface is provided with handwriting pad 20, then the light of backlight needs just to be entered (belonging to liquid crystal panel and handwriting pad 20 respectively) through two layer crystal body tube sheets user's sight line altogether.Therefore handwriting pad 20 not only can have influence on display brightness, and even may have influence on the homogeneity of demonstration.
Existing technology is except that above-mentioned shortcoming, even also have the problem of supportive.Be that existing handwriting pad 20 all is to utilize spacing frame glue 19 or 29 to support electrically conductive elastic rete 16 or 28 shown in known resistor type touch control plate 10 shown in Figure 1 or Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B, and spacing frame glue 19,29 only is arranged at the part on every side of electrically conductive elastic rete 16 or 28 lower surfaces, and its central part has no to support.And electrically conductive elastic rete 16,28 adopts the materials of tool flexible nature usually, for example PET, PMMA, PC or PE... etc., and therefore when assembling, electrically conductive elastic rete 19,28 surface smoothnesss are wayward.
And, the stress that electrically conductive elastic rete 16,28 acceptance constantly presses, therefore, Trackpad 10 or handwriting pad 20 are after use after a while, the intensity of electrically conductive elastic rete 16,28 descends easily, and its flatness shows low because of the fatigue day of material behavior easily.The fatigue of materials degree of electrically conductive elastic rete 16,28 is in a single day low and when causing the current-carrying plate 12 of itself and below or conductive area 27 to separate fully, the user does not press Trackpad 10 or handwriting pad 20 promptly has the electric signal conducting, to the time, can say to be the moment that Trackpad 10 or handwriting pad 20 lives of product finish.
Therefore, for the research staff who is engaged in this case correlative technology field, there's no one who doesn't or isn't be devoted to solve the shortcoming that prior art still has, in the hope of developing the hand input device that on resolution and reaction velocity, all can satisfy the handwriting input demand.In addition, prior art also lacks a kind of display surface that can be applicable to, and does not but influence the hand input device of its display quality.Even and hand input device need have better assembling quality and steadiness, to prolong the life of product of hand input device.Then need consider cost benefit at last, make the electronic product that hand input device newly developed can be applied to be correlated with and in putting goods on the market, help the competitive power of industry.

Please refer to Fig. 3, it is a hand input device of the present invention.Hand input device 30 can be applicable in the electronic installation 40, and electronic installation 40 can be for example flat computer, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), ATM withdrawal machine, automatic fee system and bill inquiry system etc.Electronic installation 40 has a display 42, and hand input device 30 comprises a pen 32 and a transparent location recognition figure layer 35.Present embodiment is arranged at a light-passing board 34 with location recognition figure layer 35, and then is arranged at display 42 surfaces as template.
One end of pen 32 has a transmitter 321 and an image fetch device 323.Transmitter 321 can be launched the light 36 of a specific range of wavelengths, and image fetch device 323 then can read the image that the light 36 of this specific range of wavelengths is transmitted.For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, the light 36 of this specific range of wavelengths is infrared ray, and its wavelength is between 800~1300nm; And image fetch device 323 is with CCD (Charged Coupled Diode, the photoelectricity coupling diode) or the device of can be directly handling image such as CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, complementary metal oxide semiconductor) with digital format be preferable.In an embodiment of the present invention, pen 32 has more an optical filter 325, is arranged at image fetch device 323 outsides, in order to the light beyond this specific range of wavelengths of filtering.
Transparent location recognition figure layer (position-encoding pattern layer) 35 can make that visible light penetrates, yet can reflect the light 36 of this specific range of wavelengths.Location recognition figure layer 35 comprises a plurality of mutually different location recognition patterns 351 (position-encoding pattern), respectively in order to each diverse location on the light-passing board 34 is encoded.
When the user utilizes 32 pairs of light-passing boards of pen 34 to carry out handwriting input, the light 36 that transmitter 32 is launched can be via 35 reflection of location recognition figure layer, and image fetch device 323 can read the image of indivedual positions identification icon 351 in regular turn, this end of learning pen 32 thus on light-passing board 34 surfaces the diverse location of process in regular turn, and discerned the literal or the figure of user's handwriting input.
For example, as shown in Figure 3, when the user utilizes pen 32 on light-passing board 34 during handwriting input one English alphabet " X ", pen 32 is at first in regular turn through position A, B, C, D and E, with the first stroke of handwriting input English alphabet " X ".At the same time, the light 36 that hand input device 30 can be launched by transmitter 321 is in the reflection of location recognition figure layer 35, and then reads the image of location recognition pattern 351a, 351b, 351c, 351d and 351e in regular turn.Then can detect pen 32 thus in regular turn through position A, B, C, D and E.In like manner, for second stroke of English alphabet " X ", then can be by the image that reads location recognition pattern 351f, 351g, 351c, 351h and 351i in regular turn, and then detect pen 32 in regular turn through position F, G, C, H and I.Detecting by to first and second stroke of English alphabet " X " then can identify user's handwriting input English alphabet " X ".
What deserves to be mentioned is, the location recognition pattern can be implemented with bar code, among the embodiment of Fig. 3 of the present invention position identification icon 351 with two-dimensional bar (2-D barcode) as example, and among other embodiment of the present invention, location recognition pattern 351 also can be an one dimension bar code (1-Dbarcode), as shown in Figure 4.
Cardinal principle of the present invention is that the diverse location for light-passing board 34 utilizes figure (individual other location recognition pattern 351) to give mark, coding, and these a little figures are read image, and then identifies the literal or the figure of user's handwriting input.Can be in order to the figure of encoding for example two-dimensional bar (2-Dbarcode) or one-dimensional bar code (1-D barcode) etc.
The application of one-dimensional bar code is quite general, for example is printed on front cover, invoice or the license of packing, book of extensive stock, can learn coding, the number of those article when utilizing bar code identification apparatus to shine the one-dimensional bar code of above-mentioned article.
In one embodiment of the invention, each location recognition pattern 351 is mutually different bar code (a not icon), in other words, individual other location recognition pattern 351 all is only one (specific) in hand input device 30, therefore by 351 diverse locations that can detect 32 processes of pen of these location recognition patterns of only one.
Two-dimensional bar is the another kind of figure that can encode.As shown in Figure 5, it is Fig. 3 location recognition pattern 351a enlarged drawing.In one embodiment of the invention, be with the two-dimensional bar graphical application in location recognition pattern 351.In like manner, individual other location recognition pattern 351 (individual other two-dimensional bar) all must be only one (specific) in hand input device 30.With location recognition pattern 351a is the use-pattern that example illustrates two-dimensional bar, two-dimensional bar can divide into a plurality of unit (element) and array becomes a matrix (matrix), be provided with a vertical bar (longitude bar) 37a or a horizontal stripe (latitude bar) 37b in each unit, it represents binary zero and 1 respectively.Therefore, the coding of the location recognition pattern 351a representative of Fig. 5 can be represented by Fig. 6.
In one embodiment of the invention (as Fig. 5), individual other location recognition pattern 351 is one 12 * 12 matrix, so can be provided with the individual mutually different location recognition pattern 351 of 16,777,216 (2 144 powers) on the light-passing board 14 at the most.In another embodiment, individual other location recognition pattern 351 is one 16 * 16 matrix, and it is individual that the sum of the location recognition pattern 351 that it can be provided with then can reach 268,435,456 (2 256 powers), can be applicable in the display 42 of large-size.
What deserves to be mentioned is herein, among the embodiment of above-mentioned 16 * 16 matrixes, if the area of each unit is same as the embodiment of 12 * 12 matrixes in the matrix, though then the total area of each position identification icon 351 increases, but for hand input device 30, whole detecting resolution but can not reduce.As shown in Figure 5, a move to right unit and when moving down a unit of location recognition pattern 351a, be location recognition pattern 351b, in like manner, in the embodiment of 16 * 16 matrixes, no matter each location recognition pattern 351 is towards upper and lower, left or the unit that moves right, and then becomes another different location recognition pattern 351.Therefore, the detecting resolution of hand input device 30 integral body is relevant with the area of each unit in the matrix.And in one embodiment, utilize image fetch device 323, and cooperate the two-dimensional bar that includes numerical information (binary zero and 1), and then can make and all possess fluency to the process of decoding from reading image, help the reaction velocity of hand input device 30 integral body.
This is because two-dimensional bar is a kind of figure that comprises 0 and 1 binary coding message, and the image that image fetch device 323 read is if directly be digital format, then be convenient to the follow-up processing procedure of processor, can in decode procedure, do not cause delay hand input device 30 W-response speed.
As mentioned above, in an embodiment of the present invention, hand input device 30 is applied to display 42 surfaces of electronic installation 40.Because display 42 is a luminous device, and the present invention utilizes individual other location recognition pattern 351 is read the position of image with 32 processes of detecting pen.Therefore how when reading image, the light of avoiding display 42 to send becomes the interference source that image reads, and is an emphasis of the rate of examining in the evolution of the present invention.
Find in the enforcement, because light 36 is reflected through location recognition figure layer 35 by transmitter 321, the path that returns image fetch device 323 is not long, even therefore optical filter 325 is not set, as long as the intensity of the light 36 of transmitter 321 emissions improves, then when reading image, still can distinguish to look and there emerged a other location recognition pattern 351.Another embodiment then as previously mentioned, can be at image fetch device 323 arranged outside one optical filter 325, with the light beyond this specific range of wavelengths of filtering the visible light of display 42 (for example from), and then distinguish to look to there emerged a other location recognition pattern 351 easilier when reading image.Then can make the detection sensitivity of hand input device 30 integral body promote thus.
Another emphasis of the rate of examining then is how to avoid location recognition figure layer 35 to influence the display quality of display 42 in the evolution of the present invention.With the embodiment of Fig. 3, location recognition figure layer 35 and light-passing board 34 are arranged at the surface of display 42.In another embodiment of the present invention, can directly utilize the upper substrate of display 42 to replace light-passing board 34, and directly location recognition figure layer 35 is made in the display 42 (these a little embodiments will in follow-up introduction).No matter be above-mentioned which kind of embodiment, the light that display 42 show images are sent all needs just to be entered user's sight line through location recognition figure layer 35.Therefore, when location recognition figure layer of the present invention 35 is made, need meet an optical demands-visible light is penetrated and reflect the light 36 (for example infrared ray) of specific range of wavelengths.
Please refer to Fig. 7, it is the a-a profile line side cross section view of Fig. 3.For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, location recognition figure layer 35 is a multi-layer film structure, and it is piled up alternately by low- index film 38 and 39 of high refractive index layers and forms.This multi-layer film structure can make wavelength (400~700nm) the light penetration of visible-range effectively; And, but reflected infrared (800~1300nm).Wherein, low-index film 38 can adopt different materials respectively with high refractive index layer 39, low-index film 38 can be for example SiO2, and high refractive index layer 39 can be for example TiO2 or Mb205, and can utilize the mode of sputter for example so that low-index film 38 piles up alternately with high refractive index layer 39, and form the location recognition figure layer 35 of above-mentioned multi-layer film structure.Among another embodiment, can utilize commaterial, yet,, utilize the difference of its density and cause the difference of refractive index to form low-index film 38 and high refractive index layer 39 respectively with different sputter conditions.
According to this case inventor experiment repeatedly, location recognition figure layer 35 can be 3~10 layers multi-layer film structure in the enforcement, and the thickness of location recognition figure layer 35 can be between 200nm~1500nm.In these a little embodiments, location recognition figure layer 35 all can meet above-mentioned optical demands (visible light is penetrated and reflect the light 36 of specific range of wavelengths) effectively.Wherein with the thickness of location recognition figure layer 35 having better effect when 400~800nm.
Please refer to Fig. 8, it is the optical wavelength-light reflectivity graph of a relation of location recognition figure layer.The location recognition figure layer 35 of the invention described above multi-layer film structure has optical property as shown in Figure 8 substantially.In the wavelength coverage less than 780nm, the reflectivity of light is less than 10%.And in the wavelength of the scope of wavelength 780~850nm, light reflectance promotes gradually.The wavelength of light greater than 850nm after, then light reflectance reaches more than 80%.What deserves to be mentioned is that (in 400~700nm), location recognition figure layer 35 not only has antiradar reflectivity (less than 10%) to light, and has more the penetrance more than 80% at the wavelength of visible-range.
When another emphasis of the rate of examining was considered the various differing tilt angles of pen 32 in the evolution of the present invention, hand input device 30 of the present invention all can operate smoothly.Because during the actual use of user hand input device 30, its posture that grips pen 32 varies with each individual, and as shown in Figure 3, pen 32 and light-passing board 34 planes present and are close to vertical situation and really belong to exception, and most user all has an angle of inclination when gripping pen 32.Therefore if light-passing board 34 or location recognition figure layer 35 are for being close to the plane of minute surface, then after 321 emissions of light 36 self-emission devices, can depart from the contrary and can't enter image fetch device 323 in location recognition figure layer 35 reflex time.
Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, location recognition figure layer 35 surface are uneven surface, can make light scattered reflection.In another embodiment of the present invention, at first light-passing board 34 surfaces are given roughening, thus, the multi-layer film structure that is formed at the location recognition figure layer 35 on light-passing board 34 surfaces also has the effect of roughening, its reflection for light 36 can be not limited to single direction, but and scattered reflection.Thus, make pen 32 when various differing tilt angles, light 36 all can reflex to image fetch device 323, and makes hand input device 30 can read the image of the location recognition pattern 351 of diverse location smoothly.
