Description
本發明是有關於一種感測裝置與其控制方法,且特別是有關於一種觸控裝置及適用其之控制方法。The present invention relates to a sensing device and a control method thereof, and more particularly to a touch device and a control method therefor.
習知的電阻式觸控面板主要包括一第一導電層、一第二導電層及複數間隔球(spacer)。這些間隔球位於第一導電層及第二導電層之間,以將第一導電層及第二導電層分開,避免無觸碰時造成短路而產生錯誤動作。第一導電層及第二導電層分別負責偵測觸碰處之不同軸向的位置,例如第一導電層負責偵測X方向之位置,第二導電層負責偵測Y方向之位置,其中X方向垂直於Y方向。A conventional resistive touch panel mainly includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a plurality of spacers. The spacer balls are located between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer to separate the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, so as to avoid a short circuit caused by no touch and cause an erroneous action. The first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are respectively responsible for detecting different axial positions of the touch, for example, the first conductive layer is responsible for detecting the position of the X direction, and the second conductive layer is responsible for detecting the position of the Y direction, wherein X The direction is perpendicular to the Y direction.
於操作時,第一導電層及第二導電層係各自被施以一不同電壓,當使用者碰觸觸控面板時,第一導電層之對應觸碰處之區域及第二導電層之對應觸碰處之區域將接觸而使第一導電層及第二導電層分別產生電壓變化,藉由偵測第一導電層之電壓變化可得知觸碰處於X方向之位置,以及藉由偵測第二導電層之電壓變化可得知觸碰處於Y方向之位置。During operation, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are each applied with a different voltage. When the user touches the touch panel, the corresponding touch region of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer correspond to each other. The area of the touch will contact to cause a voltage change between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer respectively, and the position of the touch in the X direction can be known by detecting the voltage change of the first conductive layer, and by detecting The voltage change of the second conductive layer can be known to be in the Y direction.
為了偵測第一導電層之電壓變化,第一導電層的一第一邊上可配置有多個第一電極。此外,為了偵測第二導電層之電壓變化,第二導電層的一第二邊上可配置有多個第二電極,其中第一邊垂直於第二邊。這些第一電極與這些第二電極須透過多條導線分別電性連接至驅動積體電路(drive integrated circuit,drive IC)。然而,由於第一電極位於第一導電層之同一側, 且第二電極亦位於第二導電層之同一側,觸控面板周邊區域之單一側需要有很大的空間來配置這些導線,導致觸控面板之周邊區域的單一側過寬。如此一來,會使得觸控面板在配置於顯示器上時不美觀,且限縮了觸控面板對於不同顯示器的適用性。In order to detect a voltage change of the first conductive layer, a plurality of first electrodes may be disposed on a first side of the first conductive layer. In addition, in order to detect a voltage change of the second conductive layer, a second side of the second conductive layer may be disposed with a plurality of second electrodes, wherein the first side is perpendicular to the second side. The first electrodes and the second electrodes are electrically connected to the drive integrated circuit (drive IC) through a plurality of wires. However, since the first electrode is located on the same side of the first conductive layer, The second electrode is also located on the same side of the second conductive layer, and a single side of the peripheral area of the touch panel requires a large space to configure the wires, so that a single side of the peripheral area of the touch panel is too wide. As a result, the touch panel is unsightly when disposed on the display, and the applicability of the touch panel to different displays is limited.
本發明提供一種觸控裝置,以解決習知之觸控面板周邊區域之單一側過寬的問題。The invention provides a touch device to solve the problem that a single side of a peripheral area of a touch panel is too wide.

The first conductive film has a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, a first area connecting the first side and the second side, and a second area connecting the first side and the second side, wherein The first zone is adjacent to the second zone. The first electrodes are spaced apart from each other at a portion of the first side of the first region and electrically connected to the first region. The first auxiliary electrode is disposed on a portion of the first side located on one side of the second region, and is electrically connected to the second region. The first auxiliary electrode is spaced apart from and adjacent to the first electrodes. The second electrodes are spaced apart from each other on a portion of the second side of the second side and electrically connected to the second region. The second auxiliary electrode is disposed on a portion of the second side of the other side of the first region, and is electrically connected to the first region. The second auxiliary electrode is spaced apart from and adjacent to the second electrodes. The second conductive film is disposed on one side of the first conductive film. When the touch device is in an unpressed state, the first conductive film and the second conductive film are maintained at a separation distance. When the touch device is in a pressed state, the first conductive film is pressed Touch the second conductive film.
本發明之另一實施例提出一種控制方法,適於控制上述觸控裝置。此控制方法包括下列步驟。首先,使這些第一電極、第一輔助電極、這些第二電極與第二輔助電極中之其一處於一讀取狀態,施加一第一參考電壓至這些第一電極、第一輔助電極、這些第二電極與第二輔助電極中之其他電極的至少部分,以及施加一第二參考電壓至第二導電膜。當這些第一電極中之最靠近第二區的電極處於讀取狀態時,至少使第二輔助電極不被施加電壓。當第一輔助電極處於讀取狀態時,至少使第二電極中之最靠近第一區的電極不被施加電壓。當這些第二電極中之最靠近第一區的電極處於讀取狀態時,至少使第一輔助電極不被施加電壓。當第二輔助電極處於讀取狀態時,至少使第一電極中之最靠近第二區的電極不被施加電壓。Another embodiment of the present invention provides a control method suitable for controlling the touch device. This control method includes the following steps. First, the first electrode, the first auxiliary electrode, one of the second electrode and the second auxiliary electrode are in a reading state, and a first reference voltage is applied to the first electrode, the first auxiliary electrode, and the like. At least a portion of the other of the second electrode and the second auxiliary electrode, and applying a second reference voltage to the second conductive film. When the electrode closest to the second region among the first electrodes is in the reading state, at least the second auxiliary electrode is not applied with a voltage. When the first auxiliary electrode is in the reading state, at least the electrode closest to the first region of the second electrode is not applied with a voltage. When the electrode closest to the first region among the second electrodes is in the reading state, at least the first auxiliary electrode is not applied with a voltage. When the second auxiliary electrode is in the reading state, at least the electrode closest to the second region of the first electrode is not applied with a voltage.
在本發明之實施例中,由於電性連接至第一導電膜的第一電極與第二電極是分別配置於第一導電膜的相對兩邊,因此可有效解決習知觸控面板之周邊區域的單一側過寬的問題,而使本發明之實施例之觸控裝置能較為美觀地配置於顯示器上,且具有較佳的適用性。此外,為使位於第一邊的電極在讀取時的電壓環境對各電極而言較為一致,本發明之實施例之控制方法藉由在適當時機使位於第二邊之適當的電極不被施加電壓,如此能夠提升本發明之實施例之觸控裝置與控制方法對受按壓處(即觸碰點)位置的判斷準確性。反之,為使位於第二邊的電極在讀取時的電壓環境對各電極而言較為一致,本發明之實施例之控制方法藉由在適當時機使位於第一邊之適當的電極處於讀取狀態亦有上述之功效。In the embodiment of the present invention, since the first electrode and the second electrode electrically connected to the first conductive film are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first conductive film, the peripheral region of the conventional touch panel can be effectively solved. The problem that the touch device of the embodiment of the present invention can be more beautifully disposed on the display has better applicability. In addition, in order to make the voltage environment of the electrode on the first side relatively uniform for each electrode, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention does not apply an appropriate electrode on the second side at an appropriate timing. The voltage can improve the accuracy of the position of the pressed device (ie, the touch point) of the touch device and the control method according to the embodiment of the present invention. On the contrary, in order to make the voltage environment of the electrode on the second side relatively uniform for each electrode, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention reads the appropriate electrode on the first side at an appropriate timing. The state also has the above effects.

In other embodiments, depending on the needs of the user, The third electrode 250 is disposed on the fourth side S4 of the second conductive film 120, the fourth side S4 is opposite to the third side S3, and the other portion of the third electrode 250 is disposed on the third side S3 of the second conductive film 120. The first electrode 210 and the second electrode 230 are disposed on opposite sides of the first conductive film 110. Further, an auxiliary electrode may be provided on the third side S3 and the fourth side S4.

圖2為本發明之第二實施例之觸控裝置中之導電膜、電極及導線的上視示意圖。請參照圖2,本實施例之觸控裝置100’與圖1B之觸控裝置100類似,而兩者的主要差異在於本實施例之觸控裝置100’具有第一輔助電極220a與第二輔助電極240a,但不具有圖1B之第三輔助電極220b與第四輔助電極240b。換言之,在本實施例中,位於第一邊S1的輔助電極220僅有一個,且位於第二邊S2的輔助電極240亦僅有一個。2 is a top plan view showing a conductive film, an electrode, and a wire in a touch device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the touch device 100' of the present embodiment is similar to the touch device 100 of FIG. 1B, and the main difference between the two is that the touch device 100' of the present embodiment has the first auxiliary electrode 220a and the second auxiliary. The electrode 240a does not have the third auxiliary electrode 220b and the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b of FIG. 1B. In other words, in the present embodiment, there is only one auxiliary electrode 220 on the first side S1, and only one auxiliary electrode 240 on the second side S2.
圖3為本發明之第三實施例之控制方法的流程圖。請參照圖1A、圖1B與圖3,本實施例之控制方法適於控制上述實施例之觸控裝置100。此控制方法包括下列步驟。首先,執行步 驟S110,其為輪流使這些第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a中之一個電極處於讀取狀態,且施加一第二參考電壓至第二導電膜120。在本實施例中,第一電極210、輔助電極220、第二電極230、輔助電極240可透過導線260電性連接至驅動電路(未繪示),例如為驅動積體電路(drive integrated circuit,drive IC)。在本實施例中,驅動電路適於使連接其之電極呈現兩種不同的狀態,即驅動狀態與讀取狀態。在驅動狀態時,驅動電路會施加一第一參考電壓至連接其之電極,而在讀取狀態時,驅動電路會使電極處於浮動態(floating state)或高阻抗態(high impedance state),此時驅動電路不會施加電壓至連接其之電極,且適於讀取連接其之電極的電壓。Fig. 3 is a flow chart showing a control method of a third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 3, the control method of this embodiment is suitable for controlling the touch device 100 of the above embodiment. This control method includes the following steps. First, execute the step Step S110, in which one of the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a is in a read state, and a second reference voltage is applied to the second conductive film 120. In this embodiment, the first electrode 210, the auxiliary electrode 220, the second electrode 230, and the auxiliary electrode 240 are electrically connected to a driving circuit (not shown) through a wire 260, for example, a drive integrated circuit. Drive IC). In this embodiment, the drive circuit is adapted to cause the electrodes connected thereto to assume two different states, a drive state and a read state. In the driving state, the driving circuit applies a first reference voltage to the electrodes connected thereto, and in the reading state, the driving circuit causes the electrodes to be in a floating state or a high impedance state. The time drive circuit does not apply a voltage to the electrodes connected thereto and is adapted to read the voltage of the electrodes connected thereto.
在本實施例中,輪流使這些第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a中之一個電極處於讀取狀態可為依序使第一電極210a~210e與第一輔助電極220a處於讀取狀態。此外,施加第二參考電壓至第二導電膜120可透過對第三電極250施加第二參考電壓而達成。In this embodiment, the first electrode 210a~210e and the first auxiliary electrode 220a are sequentially in a read state by taking one of the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a in a read state. Further, applying the second reference voltage to the second conductive film 120 can be achieved by applying a second reference voltage to the third electrode 250.
當這些第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a中之任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,施加第一參考電壓至這些第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a中之其他電極。在本實施例中,此時亦施加第一參考電壓至第三輔助電極220b。舉例而言,當第一電極210c處於讀取狀態時,施加第一參考電極至第一電極210a~210b與210d~210e、第一輔助電極220a及第三輔助電極220b。然而,在其他實施例中,當這些第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a中之任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,亦可只施加第一參考電壓至這些第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a中之部分其他電極,例如是施加第一參考電壓至處於讀取狀態之電極 附近的電極。此外,第一參考電壓不等於第二參考電壓。在本實施例中,第一參考電壓例如為0伏特,而第二參考電壓例如為5伏特,但本發明不以此為限。When any one of the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a is in a read state, a first reference voltage is applied to the other of the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a. In this embodiment, the first reference voltage is also applied to the third auxiliary electrode 220b at this time. For example, when the first electrode 210c is in the reading state, the first reference electrode is applied to the first electrodes 210a-210b and 210d-210e, the first auxiliary electrode 220a, and the third auxiliary electrode 220b. However, in other embodiments, when any one of the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a is in the reading state, only the first reference voltage may be applied to the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode. Some of the other electrodes in 220a are, for example, electrodes that apply a first reference voltage to the read state Nearby electrodes. Furthermore, the first reference voltage is not equal to the second reference voltage. In this embodiment, the first reference voltage is, for example, 0 volts, and the second reference voltage is, for example, 5 volts, but the invention is not limited thereto.
當這些第一電極210中之最靠近第二區A2的電極(在本實施例中即為第一電極210e)處於讀取狀態時,至少使第二輔助電極240a不被施加電壓,例如處於讀取狀態,亦即此時為了增加第一電極210e所讀取出的電壓值之準確性,相對於其之第二輔助電極240a可處於浮動態或高阻抗態,而不要處於驅動狀態,這可避免第一電極210e所讀取到的電壓值受到第二輔助電極240a的干擾。此時輔助電極240a處於讀取狀態並不是為了讀取電壓值,而是為了處於浮動態或高阻抗態而使第二輔助電極240a不被施加電壓,因此此時驅動電路可不讀取第二輔助電極240a的電壓值,或者即使讀取了電壓值,此電壓值也不採用。When the electrode of the first electrode 210 closest to the second region A2 (in this embodiment, the first electrode 210e) is in the reading state, at least the second auxiliary electrode 240a is not applied with a voltage, for example, at the reading. Taking the state, that is, at this time, in order to increase the accuracy of the voltage value read by the first electrode 210e, the second auxiliary electrode 240a may be in a floating dynamic or high-impedance state instead of being in a driving state, which may be The voltage value read by the first electrode 210e is prevented from being disturbed by the second auxiliary electrode 240a. At this time, the auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state not for reading the voltage value, but for the second auxiliary electrode 240a not to be applied with voltage in the floating dynamic or high impedance state, so the driving circuit may not read the second auxiliary at this time. The voltage value of the electrode 240a, or even if the voltage value is read, is not used.
同理,當第一輔助電極220a處於讀取狀態時,至少使第二電極230中之最靠近第一區A1的電極(在本實施例中即為第二電極230e)不被施加電壓,例如處於讀取狀態。此時,驅動電路可讀取到第一輔助電極220a的電壓值,但不讀取第二電極230e的電壓值,或者即使讀取了第二電極230e的電壓值,但此電壓值亦不被採用。Similarly, when the first auxiliary electrode 220a is in the reading state, at least the electrode closest to the first region A1 of the second electrode 230 (in this embodiment, the second electrode 230e) is not applied with a voltage, for example, Is in the read state. At this time, the driving circuit can read the voltage value of the first auxiliary electrode 220a, but does not read the voltage value of the second electrode 230e, or even if the voltage value of the second electrode 230e is read, the voltage value is not use.
同理,在本實施例中,當這些第一電極210中之第二靠近第二區A2的電極(即第一電極210d)處於讀取狀態時,至少使第四輔助電極240b不被施加電壓,例如處於讀取狀態。此時,驅動電路可讀取到第一電極210d的電壓值,但不讀取第四輔助電極240b的電壓值,或者即使讀取了第四輔助電極240b的電壓值,但此電壓值亦不被採用。Similarly, in the embodiment, when the second electrode of the first electrode 210 close to the second region A2 (ie, the first electrode 210d) is in the reading state, at least the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b is not applied with voltage. , for example, in a read state. At this time, the driving circuit can read the voltage value of the first electrode 210d, but does not read the voltage value of the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b, or even if the voltage value of the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b is read, the voltage value is not Adopted.
由於當第一電極210b~210d在讀取狀態時,其兩旁的電極皆處於驅動狀態,因此為了使第一輔助電極220a也有這樣的環境,在本實施例中,當第一輔助電極220a處於讀取狀態時,將施加第一參考電壓至第三輔助電極220b。為了進一步提升讀取環境的一致性,在本實施例中,當這些第一電極210中之任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,亦可施加第一參考電壓至第三輔助電極220b。Since the electrodes on both sides of the first electrodes 210b to 210d are in the driving state when the first electrodes 210b to 210d are in the reading state, in order to make the first auxiliary electrode 220a have such an environment, in the embodiment, when the first auxiliary electrode 220a is in the reading state, When the state is taken, the first reference voltage is applied to the third auxiliary electrode 220b. In order to further improve the consistency of the reading environment, in the embodiment, when any one of the first electrodes 210 is in the reading state, the first reference voltage may be applied to the third auxiliary electrode 220b.
接著,執行步驟S120。步驟S120與步驟S110相似,兩者的差異主要在於控制對象為不同的電極,而其所欲達成的功效是相同的,因此以下僅概要敘述步閥S120,而詳情請參照步驟S110的敘述。步驟S120為輪流使這些第二電極230與第二輔助電極240中之一個電極處於讀取狀態(例如依序使第二電極230a~230e與第二輔助電極240處於讀取狀態),且施加第二參考電壓至第二導電膜120。當這些第二電極230與第二輔助電極240a中之任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,施加第一參考電壓至這些第二電極230與第二輔助電極240a中之其他電極的至少部分。當這些第二電極230中之最靠近第一區A1的電極處於讀取狀態時,至少使第一輔助電極240a不被施加電壓,例如處於讀取狀態。當第二輔助電極240a處於讀取狀態時,至少使第一電極210中之最靠近第二區A2的電極不被施加電壓,例如處於讀取狀態。Next, step S120 is performed. Step S120 is similar to step S110. The difference between the two is mainly that the control object is a different electrode, and the effect to be achieved is the same. Therefore, only the step valve S120 is briefly described below, and the details refer to the description of step S110. Step S120 is: taking one of the second electrode 230 and the second auxiliary electrode 240 in a read state (for example, sequentially placing the second electrodes 230a 230 230 and the second auxiliary electrode 240 in a read state), and applying the first The second reference voltage is applied to the second conductive film 120. When any one of the second electrode 230 and the second auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state, the first reference voltage is applied to at least a portion of the other of the second electrode 230 and the second auxiliary electrode 240a. When the electrode of the second electrode 230 closest to the first region A1 is in the reading state, at least the first auxiliary electrode 240a is not applied with a voltage, for example, in a read state. When the second auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state, at least the electrode of the first electrode 210 closest to the second region A2 is not applied with a voltage, for example, in a read state.
同理,在本實施例中,當這些第二電極230中之第二靠近第一區A1的電極(即第二電極230d)處於讀取狀態時,至少使第三輔助電極220b不被施加電壓,例如處於讀取狀態。此時,驅動電路可讀取到第二電極230d的電壓值,但不讀取第三輔助電極220b的電壓值,或者即使讀取了第三輔助電極 220b的電壓值,但此電壓值亦不被採用。Similarly, in this embodiment, when the second electrode of the second electrode 230 adjacent to the first region A1 (ie, the second electrode 230d) is in the reading state, at least the third auxiliary electrode 220b is not applied with voltage. , for example, in a read state. At this time, the driving circuit can read the voltage value of the second electrode 230d, but does not read the voltage value of the third auxiliary electrode 220b, or even if the third auxiliary electrode is read. The voltage value of 220b, but this voltage value is also not used.
此外,在本實施例中,當第二輔助電極240a處於讀取狀態時,施加第一參考電壓至第四輔助電極240b,以使第二輔助電極240a的讀取環境接近於其他電極。Further, in the present embodiment, when the second auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state, the first reference voltage is applied to the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b such that the reading environment of the second auxiliary electrode 240a is close to the other electrodes.
為了進一步提升讀取環境的一致性,在本實施例中,當這些第二電極230中之任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,亦可施加第一參考電壓至第四輔助電極240b。In order to further improve the consistency of the reading environment, in the embodiment, when any one of the second electrodes 230 is in the reading state, the first reference voltage may be applied to the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b.
值得注意的是,本發明不限定執行順序為先執行步驟S110後再執行步驟S120。在其他實施例中,亦可先執行步驟S120後再執行步驟S110。或者,步驟S110中所包含的各讀取步驟與步驟S120中所包含的各讀取步驟可依各種可能的排列順序依次進行。換言之,步驟S110中的各讀取步驟與步驟S120中的各讀取步驟可以是交錯進行。It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the execution order to perform step S110 before performing step S120. In other embodiments, step S120 may be performed before step S110. Alternatively, each of the reading steps included in step S110 and the reading steps included in step S120 may be sequentially performed in various possible arrangement orders. In other words, each of the reading steps in step S110 and the reading steps in step S120 may be interleaved.
在本實施例中,可接著進行步驟S130,其為輪流使這些第三電極250中之一個電極處於讀取狀態,且施加第一參考電壓至第一導電膜110。在本實施例中,施加第一參考電壓至第一導電膜110例如為使驅動電路對第一電極210、輔助電極220、第二電極230及輔助電極240施加第一參考電壓。當這些第三電極250中之任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,施加第二參考電壓至這些第三電極250中之其他電極。在其他實施例中,此時亦可以是施加第二參考電極至這些第三電極250中之部分其他電極,例如是處於讀取狀態的第三電極250附近之電極。In the present embodiment, step S130 may be further performed to alternately turn one of the third electrodes 250 into a read state and apply a first reference voltage to the first conductive film 110. In the present embodiment, applying the first reference voltage to the first conductive film 110 is, for example, causing the driving circuit to apply a first reference voltage to the first electrode 210, the auxiliary electrode 220, the second electrode 230, and the auxiliary electrode 240. When any one of the third electrodes 250 is in the read state, a second reference voltage is applied to the other of the third electrodes 250. In other embodiments, it is also possible to apply a second reference electrode to some of the other electrodes of the third electrodes 250, such as electrodes in the vicinity of the third electrode 250 in the read state.
在本實施例中,之後可再進行步驟S140,其為根據上述這些電極(例如第一電極210、第一輔助電極220a、第二電極230、第二輔助電極240a及第三電極250)所讀取的電壓值, 計算出受按壓處(即觸碰點)的位置。具體而言,當觸控裝置100受到按壓時,這些第一電極210與這些第二電極230分別在讀取狀態所感測到的多個電壓值中包括一個極值。在本實施例中,由於第一參考電壓小於第二參考電壓,因此這個極值為極大值,且大於第一參考電壓。本實施例之控制方法更包括根據此極值及與感測到此極值的電極相鄰之二電極所分別感測到的二個電壓值計算出觸控裝置之受到按壓處(即觸碰點)在與第一邊S1實質上平行的方向(即Y方向)上之位置。In this embodiment, step S140 may be further performed, which is read according to the electrodes (for example, the first electrode 210, the first auxiliary electrode 220a, the second electrode 230, the second auxiliary electrode 240a, and the third electrode 250). The voltage value taken, Calculate the position of the pressed (ie touch point). Specifically, when the touch device 100 is pressed, the first electrode 210 and the second electrodes 230 respectively include an extreme value among a plurality of voltage values sensed in the read state. In this embodiment, since the first reference voltage is smaller than the second reference voltage, the extreme value is a maximum value and is greater than the first reference voltage. The control method of the embodiment further includes calculating, according to the extreme value and the two voltage values respectively sensed by the two electrodes adjacent to the electrode sensing the extreme value, the touched device is pressed (ie, touched Point) a position in a direction substantially parallel to the first side S1 (ie, the Y direction).
此外,這些第三電極250分別在讀取狀態所感測到的多個電壓值中包括一個極值,在本實施例中,由於第一參考電壓小於第二參考電壓,因此這個極值為極小值,且小於第二參考電壓。本實施例之控制方法更包括根據此極小值及與感測到此極小值的電極相鄰之二電極所分別感測到的二個電壓值計算出觸控裝置之受到按壓處(即觸碰點)在與第三邊S3實質上平行的方向(即X方向)上之位置。In addition, the third electrodes 250 respectively include an extreme value among the plurality of voltage values sensed in the read state. In this embodiment, since the first reference voltage is smaller than the second reference voltage, the extreme value is a minimum value. And less than the second reference voltage. The control method of the embodiment further includes calculating, according to the minimum value and the two voltage values respectively sensed by the two electrodes adjacent to the electrode sensing the minimum value, the touched device is pressed (ie, touched Point) a position in a direction substantially parallel to the third side S3 (i.e., the X direction).
詳細的計算方法如下所述:這些第一電極210、這些第二電極230、第一輔助電極220a與第二輔助電極240a所讀取到的這些電壓訊號包括一極值電壓訊號、一第一電壓訊號及一第二電壓訊號,極值電壓訊號為這些電壓訊號中之最大者,且讀到這三個訊號的電極在此分別稱為第一感測電極、第二感測電極及第三感測電極。第一電壓訊號自第一感測電極而得出,極值電壓訊號自第二感測電極而得出,第二電壓訊號自第三感測電極而得出。第二感測電極係位於第一感測電極與第三感測電極之間,並且第二感測電極分別與第一感測電極及第三感測電極相鄰。第一感測電極、第二感測電極及第三感測電極依序沿著Y方向排列。The detailed calculation method is as follows: the voltage signals read by the first electrode 210, the second electrode 230, the first auxiliary electrode 220a and the second auxiliary electrode 240a include an extreme voltage signal and a first voltage. The signal and a second voltage signal, the extreme voltage signal is the largest of the voltage signals, and the electrodes reading the three signals are referred to herein as a first sensing electrode, a second sensing electrode, and a third sense. Measuring electrode. The first voltage signal is derived from the first sensing electrode, the extreme voltage signal is derived from the second sensing electrode, and the second voltage signal is derived from the third sensing electrode. The second sensing electrode is located between the first sensing electrode and the third sensing electrode, and the second sensing electrode is adjacent to the first sensing electrode and the third sensing electrode, respectively. The first sensing electrode, the second sensing electrode, and the third sensing electrode are sequentially arranged along the Y direction.
這些感測電極中之每相鄰兩者係相距一間距,Y方向的觸碰點位置之計算方法所包含之複數個運算參數包括極值電壓訊號與第一電壓訊號之差值、極值電壓訊號與第二電壓訊號之差值及上述間距。此計算方法包含三個方程式,說明如下:
其中△1為極值電壓訊號減第一電壓訊號之差值、△2為極值電壓訊號減第二電壓訊號之差值及Py 為上述間距,△S為計算出之觸碰點在Y方向上的位置減第二感測電極在Y方向上之位置的差值。因此,透過上述式子計算出△S後,再將△S加上第二感測電極在Y方向上的位置,即計算出觸碰點在Y方向上的位置。依照與上述類似的方法亦可計算出觸碰點在X方向上的位置,在此不再贅述。上述的計算方法與計算公式在此稱為三點內插法與三點內插公式。Where Δ1 is the difference between the extreme voltage signal minus the first voltage signal, Δ2 is the difference between the extreme voltage signal minus the second voltage signal and P y is the above spacing, and ΔS is the calculated touch point in Y The position in the direction is smaller than the difference in position of the second sensing electrode in the Y direction. Therefore, after ΔS is calculated by the above equation, ΔS is added to the position of the second sensing electrode in the Y direction, that is, the position of the touch point in the Y direction is calculated. The position of the touch point in the X direction can also be calculated according to a method similar to the above, and will not be described again. The above calculation method and calculation formula are referred to herein as a three-point interpolation method and a three-point interpolation formula.
以上所揭露之偵測Y方向觸碰點位置的方法係適用於觸碰點位於第五參考直線L5與第六參考直線L6之間的情況,其中第五參考直線L5與第六參考直線L6實質上平行於第一參考直線L1,第五參考直線L5為第一電極210b與210c之間的中線,且第六參考直線L6為第二電極230b與230c之間的中線。然而,當觸碰點位於圖中第五參考直線L5以下或位於圖中第六參考直線L6以上時,由於第一電極210a下方或第二電極230a上方沒有電極提供第一參考電壓,上述第二電壓訊號需經下述的三點內插邊緣修正法的修正後再代入上述三點內差公式,非如前述直接帶入此三點內插公式。The method for detecting the position of the touch point in the Y direction disclosed above is applicable to the case where the touch point is located between the fifth reference line L5 and the sixth reference line L6, wherein the fifth reference line L5 and the sixth reference line L6 are substantially The upper side is parallel to the first reference line L1, the fifth reference line L5 is the center line between the first electrodes 210b and 210c, and the sixth reference line L6 is the center line between the second electrodes 230b and 230c. However, when the touch point is located below the fifth reference line L5 in the figure or above the sixth reference line L6 in the figure, since the first electrode is not provided under the first electrode 210a or the second electrode 230a, the second The voltage signal is subjected to the correction of the three-point interpolation edge correction method described below and then substituted into the above three-point difference formula, which is not directly incorporated into the three-point interpolation formula as described above.
以下以觸碰點位於圖1B中之第五參考直線L5以下為例進行說明,同理可推得觸碰點位於第六參考直線L6以上的處理方式,故在此不再贅述。The following is an example in which the touch point is located below the fifth reference line L5 in FIG. 1B. For the same reason, the processing method in which the touch point is located above the sixth reference line L6 can be derived, and thus will not be described herein.
若觸碰點位於第五參考直線L5以下,第一電極210a則為第一感測電極、第一電極210b則為第二感測電極及第一電極210c則為第三感測電極。三點內插邊緣修正法具有依據第一參考電壓、一第三電壓訊號及一第四電壓訊號而建立的關聯性,得出該第三電壓訊號及該第四電壓訊號的方式說明如下。If the touch point is below the fifth reference line L5, the first electrode 210a is the first sensing electrode, the first electrode 210b is the second sensing electrode, and the first electrode 210c is the third sensing electrode. The three-point interpolation edge correction method has an association established according to the first reference voltage, a third voltage signal and a fourth voltage signal, and the manner of obtaining the third voltage signal and the fourth voltage signal is as follows.
第一電極210a與第一電極210b之間的中線定義為一第七參考直線L7,其實質上平行於第一參考直線L1。The center line between the first electrode 210a and the first electrode 210b is defined as a seventh reference line L7 that is substantially parallel to the first reference line L1.
第七參考直線L7因受按壓而改變第七參考直線L7上之第一參考電壓時,第三電壓訊號自第一感測電極而得出,第四電壓訊號自第二感測電極而得出。此外,第七參考直線L7之第一參考電壓被改變之位置相距第三邊S3之距離相等於該觸碰點位置相距第三邊S3之距離。When the seventh reference line L7 changes the first reference voltage on the seventh reference line L7 due to the pressing, the third voltage signal is obtained from the first sensing electrode, and the fourth voltage signal is obtained from the second sensing electrode. . Further, the position at which the first reference voltage of the seventh reference line L7 is changed is separated from the third side S3 by a distance equal to the distance of the touch point position from the third side S3.
三點內插邊緣修正法可以一三點內插邊緣修正公式表示,該方程式為:V4=Vr-(Vr-V3)×(Vr-V2)/(Vr-V1),其中V1為該第三電壓訊號、V2為該第四電壓訊號、V3為該第一電壓訊號、V4為一修正電壓訊號及Vr為該第一參考電壓。The three-point interpolation edge correction method can be expressed by a three-point interpolation edge correction formula: V4=Vr-(Vr-V3)×(Vr-V2)/(Vr-V1), where V1 is the third The voltage signal, V2 is the fourth voltage signal, V3 is the first voltage signal, V4 is a modified voltage signal, and Vr is the first reference voltage.
因此,當目前之Y方向觸碰位置係位於第五參考直線L5以下時,自第一感測電極得出的第一電壓訊號需經該三點內插邊緣修正法修正後而得出修正電壓訊號,再將第二電壓訊號、該極值電壓訊號及修正電壓訊號帶入該三點內插公式而得出觸碰點在Y方向的位置。此時三點內插法所包含三個方程式中的△2為該極值電壓訊號減修正電壓訊號之差值。Therefore, when the current Y-direction touch position is below the fifth reference line L5, the first voltage signal obtained from the first sensing electrode is corrected by the three-point interpolation edge correction method to obtain a correction voltage. The signal, and then the second voltage signal, the extreme voltage signal and the correction voltage signal are brought into the three-point interpolation formula to obtain the position of the touch point in the Y direction. At this time, Δ2 in the three equations included in the three-point interpolation method is the difference between the extreme voltage signal minus the corrected voltage signal.
三點內插邊緣修正法亦可適用於第三電極250,在此不再贅述。The three-point interpolation edge correction method can also be applied to the third electrode 250, and details are not described herein again.
此外,當觸碰點落在圖1B中第七參考直線L7以下或落在第二電極230a與第二電極230b的中線以上的區域時,可利用下述二點內插邊緣修正法來獲得觸碰點在Y方向上的座標。Further, when the touch point falls below the seventh reference line L7 in FIG. 1B or falls over the area above the center line of the second electrode 230a and the second electrode 230b, the following two-point interpolation edge correction method can be used to obtain Touch the coordinates of the point in the Y direction.
舉例而言,當觸碰點位於第七參考直線L7以下時,其在Y方向上最臨近原點的電極為第一電極210a,而第二臨近原點的電極為第一電極210b。當V1
為極大值電壓時,觸摸點位置Yt滿足以下二點內插邊緣修正公式:
其中,Vr 為第一參考電壓,V1 為第一電極210a所感測到的電壓,V2 為第一電極210b所感測到的電壓,Py 為第一電極210a與第一電極210b之間距,Y1為第一電極210a在Y方向上的位置,其中Vr >V2 >V1 。如此一來,當觸碰點落在第七參考直線L7以下時,便能夠較為準確地計算出觸碰點於Y方向上的位置。Wherein V r is the first reference voltage, V 1 is the voltage sensed by the first electrode 210a, V 2 is the voltage sensed by the first electrode 210b, and P y is the distance between the first electrode 210a and the first electrode 210b. Y1 is the position of the first electrode 210a in the Y direction, where V r > V 2 > V 1 . In this way, when the touch point falls below the seventh reference line L7, the position of the touch point in the Y direction can be calculated more accurately.
二點內插邊緣修正法亦可適用於第三電極250,在此不再贅述。The two-point interpolation edge correction method can also be applied to the third electrode 250, and details are not described herein again.
值得注意的是,當觸碰點落在第一參考直線L1與第二參考直線L2之間時,由於第一輔助電極220a在讀取時,其上方仍有第三輔助電極220b施加第一參考電壓,且由於第二輔助電極240a在讀取時,其下方仍有第四輔助電極240b施加第一參考電壓,因此此時可以不採用三點內插邊緣修正法或二點內插邊緣修正法。換言之,藉由施加第一參考電壓至第三輔助電極220b與第四輔助電極240b,可增進觸碰點位置的判斷準確 性。It should be noted that when the touch point falls between the first reference line L1 and the second reference line L2, since the first auxiliary electrode 220a is reading, the third auxiliary electrode 220b is still applied to the first reference. The voltage, and since the second auxiliary electrode 240a is still under reading, the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b is still applied with the first reference voltage, so that the three-point interpolation edge correction method or the two-point interpolation edge correction method may not be used at this time. . In other words, by applying the first reference voltage to the third auxiliary electrode 220b and the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b, the position of the touch point can be accurately determined. Sex.
之後,可反覆執行步驟S110~S140,以達到動態監控觸碰點位置變化的效果。Thereafter, steps S110 to S140 may be repeatedly performed to achieve the effect of dynamically monitoring the change of the touch point position.
承上述,當位於第一邊S1的第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a輪流處於讀取狀態時,本實施例之控制方法藉由在適當時機使位於第二邊S2之適當的電極不被施加電壓,以使位於第一邊S1的電極在讀取時的電壓環境對各電極而言較為一致,如此能夠提升本實施例之觸控裝置100與控制方法對受按壓處(即觸碰點)位置的判斷準確性。反之,當位於第二邊S2的第二電極230與第二輔助電極240a輪流處於讀取狀態時,本實施例之控制方法藉由在適當時機使位於第一邊S1之適當的電極不被施加電壓亦有上述之功效。According to the above, when the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a located on the first side S1 are in the read state, the control method of the embodiment does not cause the appropriate electrode located on the second side S2 to be not at the appropriate timing. The voltage is applied so that the voltage environment of the electrode on the first side S1 is relatively uniform for each electrode, so that the touch device 100 and the control method of the embodiment can be improved (ie, the touch point) The accuracy of the position judgment. On the contrary, when the second electrode 230 and the second auxiliary electrode 240a located on the second side S2 are in the read state, the control method of the embodiment does not apply the appropriate electrode on the first side S1 at an appropriate timing. The voltage also has the above effects.

However, in order to ensure the voltage environment of the electrode at the time of reading, in the present embodiment, when the electrode of the first side S1 is in the reading state, the opposite electrode and the opposite pair of electrodes located on the second side S2 are not applied. The voltage, for example, is in a read state. In addition, when the electrode of the first side S1 above the fourth reference line L4 is in the reading state, at least the electrode of the Y-axis coordinate on the second side S2 under the reading electrode is not applied with a voltage, for example Is in the read state.

參照圖1A與圖1B,本實施例之控制方法與第四實施例之控制方法類似,而兩者的主要差異在於本實施例之控制方法使更多斜對的電極處於不被施加電壓,具體的情形如下所述。Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the control method of the present embodiment is similar to the control method of the fourth embodiment, and the main difference between the two is that the control method of the embodiment causes more oblique electrodes to be applied without voltage, specifically The situation is as follows.

On the contrary, when any one of the second electrode 230 and the second auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state, all the electrodes on the first side S1 can be not applied with a voltage.
請參照圖2,本實施例之控制方法與第三實施例之控制方法類似,而兩者的差異如下所述。本實施例之控制方法適用於圖2之觸控裝置100’。由於觸控裝置100’不具有圖1B之第三輔助電極220b與第四輔助電極240b,因此本實施例之控制方法不須對第三輔助電極220b與第四輔助電極240b作控制,而其餘的控制方法與第三實施例之控制方法相同。Referring to FIG. 2, the control method of this embodiment is similar to the control method of the third embodiment, and the difference between the two is as follows. The control method of this embodiment is applicable to the touch device 100' of FIG. Since the touch device 100' does not have the third auxiliary electrode 220b and the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b of FIG. 1B, the control method of the embodiment does not need to control the third auxiliary electrode 220b and the fourth auxiliary electrode 240b, and the rest The control method is the same as that of the third embodiment.
值得注意的是,在本實施例中,當觸碰點落在第一電極210d與210e的中線及第一參考直線L1之間時,且當第一輔助電極220a讀取時,由於第一輔助電極220a上方沒有其他電極施加第一參考電壓,因此此時可採用上述三點內插邊緣修正 法來計算出觸碰點在Y方向上的位置。同理,當觸碰點落在第二電極230d與230e的中線及第二參考直線L2之間時,且當第二輔助電極240a讀取時,亦可採用上述三點內插邊緣修正法來計算出觸碰點在Y方向上的位置。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the touch point falls between the center line of the first electrodes 210d and 210e and the first reference line L1, and when the first auxiliary electrode 220a reads, due to the first There is no other electrode above the auxiliary electrode 220a to apply the first reference voltage, so the above three-point interpolation edge correction can be used at this time. The method calculates the position of the touch point in the Y direction. Similarly, when the touch point falls between the center line of the second electrodes 230d and 230e and the second reference line L2, and when the second auxiliary electrode 240a reads, the above three-point interpolation edge correction method can also be used. To calculate the position of the touch point in the Y direction.
此外,當觸碰點落在第八參考直線L8(即第一電極210e與第一輔助電極220a的中線,其平行於第一參考直線L1)與第一參考直線L1之間時,可利用二點內插邊緣修正法並根據第一電極210e與第一輔助電極220a的讀取計算出觸碰點在Y方向上的位置,或利用三點內插邊緣修正法並根據第二電極230d、230e與第二輔助電極240a的讀取來計算出觸碰點在Y方向上的位置。同理,當觸碰點落在第八參考直線L8與第二參考直線L2之間時,亦可採用位於第二邊S2的電極來讀取並利用二點內插邊緣修正法計算出觸碰點在Y方向上的位置,或採用位於第一邊S1的電極來讀取並利用三點內插邊緣修正法來計算出觸碰點在Y方向上的位置。In addition, when the touch point falls between the eighth reference line L8 (ie, the center line of the first electrode 210e and the first auxiliary electrode 220a, which is parallel to the first reference line L1) and the first reference line L1, Two-point interpolation edge correction method and calculating the position of the touch point in the Y direction according to the reading of the first electrode 210e and the first auxiliary electrode 220a, or using the three-point interpolation edge correction method according to the second electrode 230d, The reading of the 230e and the second auxiliary electrode 240a calculates the position of the touch point in the Y direction. Similarly, when the touch point falls between the eighth reference line L8 and the second reference line L2, the electrode located on the second side S2 can also be used to read and calculate the touch using the two-point interpolation edge correction method. The position of the point in the Y direction, or the electrode located at the first side S1 is read and the position of the touch point in the Y direction is calculated by the three-point interpolation edge correction method.
請參照圖2,本實施例之控制方法與第六實施例之控制方法類似,而兩者的主要差異如下所述。為了確保電極在讀取時的電壓環境,在本實施例中,當第一邊S1的電極處於讀取狀態時,位於第二邊S2之相對的電極與斜對的電極亦不被施加電壓。詳細說明如下。Referring to FIG. 2, the control method of the present embodiment is similar to the control method of the sixth embodiment, and the main differences between the two are as follows.

The electrodes are not applied with a voltage. When the second of the second electrodes 230 adjacent to the first region A1 is in the reading state, at least the first auxiliary electrode 220a is not applied with a voltage. When the electrode of the second electrode 230 closest to the first region A1 is in the reading state, at least the first auxiliary electrode 220a and the electrode of the first electrode 210 closest to the second region A2 are not applied with a voltage. When the second auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state, at least the first auxiliary electrode 220a, the electrode of the first electrode 210 closest to the second region A2, and the second of the first electrodes 210 are closer to the first region A2. The electrodes are not applied with a voltage.
請參照圖2,本實施例之控制方法與第七實施例之控制方法類似,而兩者的主要差異在於本實施例之控制方法使更多斜對的電極處於讀取狀態,具體的情形如下所述。Referring to FIG. 2, the control method of this embodiment is similar to the control method of the seventh embodiment, and the main difference between the two is that the control method of this embodiment causes more oblique electrodes to be in the read state, and the specific situation is as follows: Said.

When the electrode of the first electrode 210 closest to the second region A2 is in the reading state, at least the N 2 electrodes and the second auxiliary electrode 240a of the second electrodes 230 which are closest to the first region A1 are not A voltage is applied, where N 2 is a natural number greater than one. When the first auxiliary electrode 220a is in the reading state, at least the N 3 electrodes and the second auxiliary electrode 240a which are closest to the first region A1 of the second electrodes 230 are not applied with a voltage, wherein N 3 is greater than 2. Natural number. When any one of the second to N 4th electrodes of the second electrode 230 is close to the first region A1, at least the first auxiliary electrode 220a is not applied with a voltage, wherein N 4 is greater than 2. Natural number. When the electrode of the second electrode 230 closest to the first region A1 is in the reading state, at least the first auxiliary electrode 220a and the N 5 electrodes of the first electrodes 210 closest to the second region A2 are not applied. Voltage, where N 5 is a natural number greater than one. When the second auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state, at least the N 6 electrodes of the first electrodes 210 closest to the second region A1 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a are not applied with a voltage, wherein N 6 is greater than 2. Natural number.
在一實施例中,當這些第一電極210與第一輔助電極220a中的任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,可使位於第二邊S2的所有電極不被施加電壓。反之,當這些第二電極230與第二輔助電極240a中的任一個電極處於讀取狀態時,可使位於第一邊S1的所有電極不被施加電壓。In an embodiment, when any one of the first electrode 210 and the first auxiliary electrode 220a is in the reading state, all the electrodes located on the second side S2 may be not applied with a voltage. On the contrary, when any one of the second electrode 230 and the second auxiliary electrode 240a is in the reading state, all the electrodes on the first side S1 can be not applied with a voltage.
綜上所述,在本發明之實施例中,由於電性連接至第一導電膜的第一電極與第二電極是分別配置於第一導電膜的相對兩邊,因此可有效解決習知觸控面板之周邊區域之單一側過寬的問題,而使本發明之實施例之觸控裝置能較為美觀地配置於顯示器上,且具有較佳的適用性。此外,當位於第一邊的第一電極與第一輔助電極輪流處於讀取狀態時,本發明之實施例之控制方法藉由在適當時機使位於第二邊之適當的電極不被施加電壓,以使位於第一邊的電極在讀取時的電壓環境對各電極而言較為一致,如此能夠提升本發明之實施例之觸控裝置與控制方法對觸碰點位置的判斷準確性。反之,當位於第二邊的第二電極與第二輔助電極輪流處於讀取狀態時,本發明之實施例之控制方法藉由在適當時機使位於第一邊之適當的電極不被施加電壓亦有上述之功效。In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the first electrode and the second electrode electrically connected to the first conductive film are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first conductive film, the conventional touch can be effectively solved. The problem that the single side of the peripheral area of the panel is too wide, so that the touch device of the embodiment of the present invention can be more beautifully disposed on the display, and has better applicability. In addition, when the first electrode and the first auxiliary electrode on the first side are in the read state, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention does not apply a voltage to the appropriate electrode on the second side at an appropriate timing. Therefore, the voltage environment of the electrode on the first side is relatively uniform for each electrode, so that the accuracy of the touch device and the control method of the touch point position of the embodiment of the present invention can be improved. On the contrary, when the second electrode and the second auxiliary electrode on the second side are in the read state, the control method of the embodiment of the present invention does not apply the voltage to the appropriate electrode on the first side at an appropriate timing. Have the above effects.
