隨著科技快速發展,薄膜電晶體液晶顯示器(TFT LCD)已逐步取代傳統顯示器,並已廣泛應用於電視、平面顯示器、行動電話、平板電腦以及投影機等各種電子產品上。對於具有觸控功能的薄膜電晶體液晶顯示器而言,觸控感測器是其重要的模組之一,其性能之優劣也直接影響液晶顯示器之整體效能。With the rapid development of technology, thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) has gradually replaced traditional displays, and has been widely used in various electronic products such as televisions, flat panel displays, mobile phones, tablet computers and projectors. For a thin film transistor liquid crystal display with touch function, the touch sensor is one of its important modules, and its performance directly affects the overall performance of the liquid crystal display.
一般而言,傳統具有互感式電容觸控功能的液晶顯示器包含有顯示面板、導電薄膜感應器(ITO sensor)以及觸控控制晶片。其中,導電薄膜感應器包含有複數條感測線及複數條驅動線,而觸控控制晶片則包含有複數個接腳。該等感測線分別耦接該等接腳。當驅動線傳送一驅動脈衝並於感測線耦合一微小電壓後,觸控控制晶片將會感測耦合電壓並根據耦合電壓的大小去判斷導電薄膜感應器是否被觸控。In general, a conventional liquid crystal display having a mutual capacitive touch function includes a display panel, an ITO sensor, and a touch control chip. The conductive film sensor includes a plurality of sensing lines and a plurality of driving lines, and the touch control chip includes a plurality of pins. The sensing lines are respectively coupled to the pins. After the driving line transmits a driving pulse and a small voltage is coupled to the sensing line, the touch control chip senses the coupling voltage and determines whether the conductive film sensor is touched according to the magnitude of the coupling voltage.
具體而言,觸控感測裝置之效能取決於導電薄膜感應器之感測電壓精確度。觸控感測裝置包含有放大模組,而放大模組之輸入方式可分成差動輸入模式及單端輸入模式。採用差動輸入模式的優點是擁有良好的抗雜訊能力,但其缺點是無法在面板邊界上感測到準確的電壓資訊。至於採用單端輸入模式的優點是能夠精確地感測面板邊界的電壓,但其抗雜訊的能力較差。因此,無論傳統的觸控感測裝置之放大模組所採用的輸入方式是差動輸入模式或單端輸入模式,均存在著上述之缺點,使得整體觸控感測裝置之效能無法獲得提升。Specifically, the performance of the touch sensing device depends on the sensing voltage accuracy of the conductive film sensor. The touch sensing device includes an amplification module, and the input mode of the amplification module can be divided into a differential input mode and a single-ended input mode. The advantage of using the differential input mode is that it has good anti-noise capability, but its disadvantage is that it cannot sense accurate voltage information on the panel boundary. The advantage of using the single-ended input mode is that it can accurately sense the voltage at the panel boundary, but its ability to resist noise is poor. Therefore, regardless of whether the input mode of the conventional touch sensing device is a differential input mode or a single-ended input mode, the above disadvantages exist, so that the performance of the overall touch sensing device cannot be improved.
因此,本發明提出一種能夠提升感測電壓之準確度並保有良好的抗雜訊能力之互感式電容觸控感測裝置,以解決上述問題。Therefore, the present invention proposes a mutual-inductance capacitive touch sensing device capable of improving the accuracy of the sensing voltage and maintaining good anti-noise capability to solve the above problem.

At this time, the fifth sensing voltage of the pin S5 and the sixth sensing voltage of the pin S6 belong to the non-boundary sensing voltage.
最後,於第七時間點,由於此時從接腳S6輸入的第六感測電壓屬於邊界感測電壓,故觸控感測裝置1將會運作於第二單端輸入模式下,驅動/感測開關SW13及SW23開啟。於第二單端輸入模式下,切換模組302將會依照切換控制訊號控制負單端輸入開關SW52開啟,致使放大模組40之正輸入端+接收到接腳S6的第六感測電壓,放大模組40之負輸入端-則會耦接至參考電壓Vt。此時,最後輸入之接腳S6的第六感測電壓即屬於邊界感測電壓。Finally, at the seventh time point, since the sixth sensing voltage input from the pin S6 belongs to the boundary sensing voltage, the touch sensing device 1 will operate in the second single-ended input mode, driving/sensing The test switches SW13 and SW23 are turned on. In the second single-ended input mode, the switching module 302 will control the negative single-ended input switch SW52 to be turned on according to the switching control signal, so that the positive input terminal of the amplification module 40 receives the sixth sensing voltage of the pin S6.

At this time, the sixth sensing voltage of the last input pin S6 belongs to the boundary sensing voltage.
無論是上述哪一種輸入模式,當放大模組40的正輸入端+與負輸入端-分別接收到各感測電壓或參考電壓時,-將會依照邏輯控制模組10傳送過來的放大控制訊號將自正輸入端+與負輸入端-所接收之兩感測電壓或參考電壓相減並放大後,輸出一放大後之類比資料至儲存控制模組50。Regardless of which of the above input modes, when the positive input terminal + and the negative input terminal of the amplification module 40 respectively receive the respective sensing voltages or reference voltages, the amplification control signals transmitted according to the logic control module 10 will be used. After subtracting and amplifying the two sensing voltages or reference voltages received from the positive input terminal + the negative input terminal, an amplified analog data is output to the storage control module 50.
如圖2所示,儲存控制模組50包含有第一開關SW61、第二開關SW62、第三開關SW63及儲存電容C。其中,第二開關SW62耦接於放大模組40之輸出端與類比/數位轉換模組60之間;第一開關SW61之一端耦接至第二開關SW62與類比/數位轉換模組60之間且另一端耦接至接地端;第三開關SW63之一端耦接至第二開關SW62與類比/數位轉換模組60之間且另一端耦接至儲存電容C;儲存電容C耦接至接地端。當儲存控制模組50依照邏輯控制模組10傳送過來的儲存控制訊號控制第二開關SW62與第三開關SW63開啟時,放大模組40之輸出端所輸出的放大後之類比資料可透過第二開關SW62與第三開關SW63傳送至儲存電容C,接著,儲存控制模組50依照儲存控制訊號控制第三開關SW63關閉後,儲存電容C即可儲存放大後之類比資料。As shown in FIG. 2, the storage control module 50 includes a first switch SW61, a second switch SW62, a third switch SW63, and a storage capacitor C. The second switch SW62 is coupled between the output end of the amplification module 40 and the analog/digital conversion module 60.

The other end is coupled to the ground end; the third end of the third switch SW63 is coupled between the second switch SW62 and the analog/digital conversion module 60, and the other end is coupled to the storage capacitor C. The storage capacitor C is coupled to the ground. . When the storage control module 50 controls the second switch SW62 and the third switch SW63 to be turned on according to the storage control signal transmitted from the logic control module 10, the amplified analog data outputted from the output end of the amplification module 40 can pass through the second The switch SW62 and the third switch SW63 are transmitted to the storage capacitor C. Then, after the storage control module 50 controls the third switch SW63 to be turned off according to the storage control signal, the storage capacitor C can store the amplified analog data.
在放大後之類比資料輸出並儲存至儲存電容C之前,邏輯控制模組10傳送接地控制訊號至儲存控制模組50,致使接地開關SW61開啟,讓儲存在儲存電容C上的電壓先行放電,藉以增加感測之準確性。實際上,儲存控制模組50之結構可依照實際需求而改變,並不以圖2所繪示者為限。Before the analog data is output and stored in the storage capacitor C, the logic control module 10 transmits a ground control signal to the storage control module 50, so that the grounding switch SW61 is turned on, and the voltage stored on the storage capacitor C is discharged first. Increase the accuracy of the sensing. In fact, the structure of the storage control module 50 can be changed according to actual needs, and is not limited to the one shown in FIG.
類比/數位轉換模組60耦接至儲存控制模組50及邏輯控制模組10,用以將放大後之類比資料轉換成數位資料,並將數位資料輸出至邏輯控制模組10。實際上,放大模組40可以是任意形式的放大器,類比/數位轉換模組60可以是任意形式的類比/數位轉換器,並無特定之限制。The analog/digital conversion module 60 is coupled to the storage control module 50 and the logic control module 10 for converting the amplified analog data into digital data and outputting the digital data to the logic control module 10. In fact, the amplification module 40 can be any form of amplifier, and the analog/digital conversion module 60 can be any type of analog/digital converter, and is not particularly limited.
相較於先前技術,根據本發明之觸控感測裝置係透過邏輯控制模組產生切換控制訊號,致使多工器之切換模組控制複數對差動輸入開關及一對單端輸入開關之開啟或關閉,進而使觸控感測裝置能夠任意地在差動輸入模式與單端輸入模式之間進行切換。在一般情況下,觸控感測裝置所接收的並非導電薄膜顯示器之邊界感測接腳所感測到之感測電壓,切換模組即會啟動差動輸入模式。一旦觸控感測裝置所接收到的是導電薄膜顯示器之邊界感測接腳所感測到之感測電壓,切換模組即會啟動單端輸入模式。因此,本發明之觸控感測裝置能夠透過切換模組控制電壓輸出模式,不僅能夠有效提升感測電壓之精確度,還能同時保有良好的抗雜訊能力,並可節省實現上述功能所需之記憶體空間。Compared with the prior art, the touch sensing device according to the present invention generates a switching control signal through a logic control module, so that the switching module of the multiplexer controls the opening of the differential pair differential input switch and the pair of single-ended input switches. Or off, thereby enabling the touch sensing device to arbitrarily switch between the differential input mode and the single-ended input mode. In general, the touch sensing device receives the sensing voltage sensed by the boundary sensing pin of the conductive thin film display, and the switching module activates the differential input mode.
