Description

懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置 Suspension sensing mutual capacitance input device

本發明係關於觸控板之技術領域,尤指一種懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置。 The invention relates to the technical field of a touch panel, and more particularly to a mutual induction input device for suspension sensing.

隨著智慧型手機與平板電腦的快速普及,繼觸控輸入與多指手勢操作之後,懸浮手勢操作之需求逐漸浮現。懸浮偵測裝置已被大量運用在不同的智慧型手機上,以增加智慧型手機的附加價值。懸浮偵測裝置在物件未觸碰狀態下,能於特定距離內偵知物件之接近、遠離、位置與運動方向。然而已商業化的懸浮手勢偵測裝置多為光學攝影或紅外線掃描方式,常有手影問題、環境光干擾與耗能之顧慮,此等皆不利於行動裝置之應用。 With the rapid spread of smart phones and tablets, the demand for hover gestures has gradually emerged following touch input and multi-finger gestures. The hover detection device has been widely used on different smart phones to increase the added value of smart phones. The suspension detecting device can detect the proximity, the distance, the position and the moving direction of the object within a certain distance when the object is not touched. However, commercial floating gesture detection devices are mostly optical photography or infrared scanning methods, which often have hand shadow problems, ambient light interference and energy consumption concerns, which are not conducive to the application of mobile devices.

投射電容式觸控具有節能、使用壽命長、機構簡潔易於產品設計等優點,特別適宜行動電子裝置之應用。在投射電容式觸控面板的電容偵測方法上,一般分為自容式與互容式。圖1中的習知自電容(self capacitance)感測方法係在同一條導體線上同時連接有驅動及感測電路 110、120,先對導體線驅動後,再對同一導體線感測其訊號的變化量,以決定自感應電容大小。 Projected capacitive touch has the advantages of energy saving, long service life, simple structure and easy product design, and is especially suitable for mobile electronic devices. In the capacitive sensing method of the projected capacitive touch panel, it is generally divided into a self-capacitance type and a mutual capacitance type. The conventional self capacitance sensing method in FIG. 1 is connected to a driving and sensing circuit simultaneously on the same conductor line. 110, 120, after driving the conductor line, the same conductor line is sensed by the amount of change of the signal to determine the size of the self-inductance capacitor.

另一電容式觸控面板驅動的方法係為感測互感應電容(mutual capacitance,Cm)的大小變化,用以判斷是否有物體靠近觸控面板,同樣地,互感應電容(Cm)並非實體電容,其係第一方向的導體線與第二方向的導體線之間互感應電容(Cm)。圖2係習知互感應電容(Cm)感測之示意圖,如圖2所示,驅動器210係配置於第一方向(Y)上,感測器220係配置於第二方向(X)上,於第一時間週期T1前半週期時,由驅動器210對第一方向的導體線230驅動,其使用電壓Vy_1對互感應電容(Cm)250充電,於第一時間週期T1後半週期時,所有感測器220感測所有第二方向的導體線240上的電壓(Vo_1,Vo_2,...,Vo_n),用以獲得n個資料,經過m個驅動週期後,即可獲得mxn個資料。 Another capacitive touch panel driving method is to sense the change of the mutual capacitance (Cm) to determine whether an object is close to the touch panel. Similarly, the mutual sensing capacitance (Cm) is not a physical capacitance. It is a mutual induction capacitance (Cm) between the conductor line in the first direction and the conductor line in the second direction. 2 is a schematic diagram of a conventional mutual induction capacitance (Cm) sensing. As shown in FIG. 2, the driver 210 is disposed in a first direction (Y), and the sensor 220 is disposed in a second direction (X). During the first half of the first time period T1, the driver 210 drives the conductor line 230 in the first direction, and uses the voltage Vy_1 to charge the mutual induction capacitor (Cm) 250. During the second half of the first time period T1, all the sensing is performed. The device 220 senses the voltages (Vo_1, Vo_2, ..., Vo_n) on the conductor lines 240 in all the second directions to obtain n data, and after m driving cycles, mxn data can be obtained.

習知的投射電容式觸控面板技術上僅針對觸控面板上多點觸碰的偵測進行著墨,其仍無法執行懸浮感應。因此,習知投射電容式觸控面板仍有予以改善的空間。 The conventional projected capacitive touch panel technology only inks the detection of multi-touch on the touch panel, and still cannot perform the floating induction. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the conventional projected capacitive touch panel.

本發明之目的主要係在提供一懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置,其可將懸浮感應偵測技術實現於投射電容式觸控輸入裝置。 The purpose of the present invention is mainly to provide a floating-inductance mutual capacitive input device, which can implement the floating sensing detection technology in a projected capacitive touch input device.

圖3係本發明一種懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置300之一示意圖。該互電容式輸入裝置300包括複數個發射電極310、複數個接收電極320、一觸控感應訊號源330、至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340、一第一選擇開關電路350、及一第二選擇開關電路360。 3 is a schematic diagram of a mutual sensing capacitive input device 300 of the present invention. The mutual capacitive input device 300 includes a plurality of transmitting electrodes 310, a plurality of receiving electrodes 320, a touch sensing signal source 330, at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero, a first selection switch circuit 350, and a first The second selection switch circuit 360.

該複數個發射電極310係延一第一方向排列(X),該複數個接收電極320係延一第二方向(Y)排列,以感應一外部物件之觸碰或近接。該第一方向(X)與該第二方向(Y)係大致互相垂直。該複數個發射電極310及複數個接收電極320之每一個電極的形狀為下列其中之一:多邊形、圓形、三角形、矩形、菱形、楔形、方形或上述形狀之串接。於本實施例中,係以長方形為例說明。 The plurality of transmitting electrodes 310 are arranged in a first direction (X), and the plurality of receiving electrodes 320 are arranged in a second direction (Y) to sense a touch or proximity of an external object. The first direction (X) and the second direction (Y) are substantially perpendicular to each other. The shape of each of the plurality of emitter electrodes 310 and the plurality of receiver electrodes 320 is one of the following: a polygon, a circle, a triangle, a rectangle, a diamond, a wedge, a square, or a tandem of the above shapes. In the present embodiment, a rectangle is taken as an example for illustration.

該觸控感應訊號源330產生至少一個頻率的觸控感應訊號,並經該第一選擇開關電路350耦合至該複數個發射電極310。 The touch sensing signal source 330 generates a touch sensing signal of at least one frequency and is coupled to the plurality of transmitting electrodes 310 via the first selection switch circuit 350.

該第一選擇開關電路350連接至該複數個發射 電極310、該觸控感應訊號源330、及該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340。該第一選擇開關電路350將該觸控感應訊號依序地選擇以傳送到該複數個發射電極310中之至少一個發射電極,並將所選定的該至少一個發射電極之外的複數個發射電極連接以接收一電容抵銷訊號(Sig)。 The first selection switch circuit 350 is coupled to the plurality of transmissions The electrode 310, the touch sensing signal source 330, and the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero. The first selection switch circuit 350 sequentially selects the touch sensing signals to be transmitted to at least one of the plurality of transmitting electrodes 310, and selects a plurality of transmitting electrodes other than the selected at least one transmitting electrode. Connect to receive a capacitor offset signal (Sig).

該第二選擇開關電路360連接至該複數個接收電極320及該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340。該第二選擇開關電路360依序將該複數個接收電極的至少一個接收電極上的感應訊號輸出至該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340,以產生該電容抵銷訊號(Sig),並輸出至該第一選擇開關電路。其中,該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340的增益較佳為一。 The second selection switch circuit 360 is coupled to the plurality of receiving electrodes 320 and the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero. The second selection switch circuit 360 sequentially outputs the sensing signals on the at least one receiving electrode of the plurality of receiving electrodes to the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero to generate the capacitor offset signal (Sig), and Output to the first selection switch circuit. The gain of the first amplifier 340 having at least one gain greater than zero is preferably one.

於習知技術中,當觸控感應訊號自訊號源330交連至發射電極310-1並由接收電極320-1感應訊號時,由於其它發射電極(310-2,...,310-m)與接收電極320-1之間皆存在有電容,總合形成龐大之背景電容,不利於感測發射電極310-1與接收電極320-1之間微小之感應電容變化。然而,於本發明中,如圖3所示,當觸控感應訊號輸出至該發射電極310-1且由接收電極320-1感應訊號時,該第二選擇開關電路360將該接收電極320-1感應到的訊號Sen1輸出至該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340,以產生該電容抵銷訊號(Sig)。此時,該第一選擇開關電路350將所選定的該至少一個發射電極(310-1)之外的複數個發射電極(310-2,...,310-m) 連接以接收該電容抵銷訊號(Sig)。由於發射電極310-2,...,310-m上的訊號與接收電極320-1感應訊號相同,因此發射電極310-2,...,310-m與接收電極320-1具有相同的電位(交流),故發射電極310-2,...,310-m與接收電極之間的電容效應被抵消,不再成為感測之沉重負擔,也不會如習知技術般對接收電極320-1產生雜訊干擾。該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340的增益較佳為1。 In the prior art, when the touch sensing signal is connected to the transmitting electrode 310-1 from the signal source 330 and sensed by the receiving electrode 320-1, the other transmitting electrodes (310-2, ..., 310-m) are used. There is a capacitance between the receiving electrode 320-1 and the receiving electrode 320-1, which forms a large background capacitance, which is not conducive to sensing a small change in the sensing capacitance between the transmitting electrode 310-1 and the receiving electrode 320-1. However, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, when the touch sensing signal is output to the transmitting electrode 310-1 and the signal is sensed by the receiving electrode 320-1, the second selecting switch circuit 360 receives the receiving electrode 320- The sensed signal Sen1 is output to the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero to generate the capacitor offset signal (Sig). At this time, the first selection switch circuit 350 will select a plurality of transmitting electrodes (310-2, . . . , 310-m) other than the selected at least one transmitting electrode (310-1). Connect to receive the capacitor offset signal (Sig). Since the signals on the transmitting electrodes 310-2, ..., 310-m are the same as the receiving signals of the receiving electrode 320-1, the transmitting electrodes 310-2, ..., 310-m have the same as the receiving electrodes 320-1. The potential (AC), so the capacitance effect between the emitter electrodes 310-2, ..., 310-m and the receiving electrode is cancelled, no longer a heavy burden of sensing, nor a receiving electrode as in the prior art 320-1 produces noise interference. The gain of the first amplifier 340 having at least one gain greater than zero is preferably one.

圖4係圖3中一接收電極RX的等效電路圖。如圖4所示,、...。Ceq1 Ceq2 Ceq3 ...Ceqn。因此,Ctotal=Ceq1+Ceq2+Ceq3+...+Ceqn+CRG+CFG=n×Ceq1+CRG+CFG。由於本發明使用該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340由接收電極320-1感應到的訊號Sen1來產生該電容抵銷訊號(Sig),並輸出至發射電極310-2,...,310-m上,因此發射電極310-2,...,310-m與接收電極320-1具有相同的電位(交流),故C2=C3=C4=...=Cn=0,因此Ceq2=Ceq3=Ceq4=...=Ceqn=0,故Ctotal=Ceq1+CRG+CFG。由公式可知,CFG所佔的比例大幅提昇,故偵測靈敏度亦大幅提昇。 4 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a receiving electrode RX in FIG. As shown in Figure 4, , ,... C eq1 C eq2 C eq3 ... C eqn . Therefore, C total = C eq1 + C eq2 + C eq3 + ... + C eqn + C RG + C FG = n × C eq1 + C RG + C FG . Since the present invention uses the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero to generate the capacitor cancellation signal (Sig) from the signal Sen1 sensed by the receiving electrode 320-1, and outputs it to the transmitting electrodes 310-2, . 310-m, so the transmitting electrodes 310-2, ..., 310-m have the same potential (AC) as the receiving electrode 320-1, so C 2 = C 3 = C 4 = ... = C n = 0, so C eq2 =C eq3 =C eq4 =...=C eqn =0, so C total =C eq1 +C RG +C FG . It can be seen from the formula that the proportion of C FG is greatly increased, so the detection sensitivity is also greatly improved.

圖5係本發明一種懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置300之另一示意圖。其與圖3主要差異在於:將該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340移至複數個接收電極320與該第二選擇開關電路360之間,並將其數量變更為n個,其中n為複數個接收電極320的數目。該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340可將接收電極320-1感應到的訊號Sen1緩 衝並放大後,再輸出至該該第二選擇開關電路360,以補償該感應到的訊號Sen1在傳輸過程中的衰減。 FIG. 5 is another schematic diagram of a floating induction mutual capacitance input device 300 of the present invention. The main difference from FIG. 3 is that the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero is moved between the plurality of receiving electrodes 320 and the second selection switch circuit 360, and the number thereof is changed to n, where n is The number of the plurality of receiving electrodes 320. The at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero can slow down the signal Sen1 sensed by the receiving electrode 320-1. After being amplified and amplified, it is output to the second selection switch circuit 360 to compensate for the attenuation of the sensed signal Sen1 during transmission.

圖6係本發明一種懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置300之再一示意圖。其與圖5主要差異在於:新增複數個反射偏向電極370及新增複數個增益大於零之第二放大器380。 FIG. 6 is still another schematic diagram of a floating induction mutual capacitance input device 300 of the present invention. The main difference from FIG. 5 is that a plurality of reflective deflecting electrodes 370 are added and a plurality of second amplifiers 380 having a gain greater than zero are added.

該複數個反射偏向電極370的每一個反射偏向電極係對應至該複數個發射電極310的一個發射電極。其中,每一個反射偏向電極370係設置於對應之該發射電極310之一側,該反射偏向電極370之面積不小於該發射電極310之面積。亦即,若將該複數個接收電極320所在的平面視為上層,該複數個發射電極310所在的平面則為中層,而該複數個反射偏向電極370所在的平面則為下層。其中,該反射偏向電極370係位於發射電極310之下方,故其一部分係被發射電極310所遮住。 Each of the plurality of reflective deflecting electrodes 370 has a reflective deflecting electrode corresponding to one of the plurality of transmitting electrodes 310. Each of the reflective deflecting electrodes 370 is disposed on one side of the corresponding transmitting electrode 310, and the area of the reflective deflecting electrode 370 is not less than the area of the transmitting electrode 310. That is, if the plane in which the plurality of receiving electrodes 320 are located is regarded as the upper layer, the plane in which the plurality of transmitting electrodes 310 are located is the middle layer, and the plane in which the plurality of reflective deflecting electrodes 370 are located is the lower layer. The reflective deflecting electrode 370 is located below the transmitting electrode 310, so that a part of it is covered by the transmitting electrode 310.

該複數個增益大於零之第二放大器380之每一個第二放大器370係對應至一個發射電極310,以將對應之發射電極310上的電氣訊號經該第二放大器370傳送至與該發射電極310對應之該反射偏向電極370。其中,該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340及該複數個增益大於零之第二放大器380之每一個第二放大器之增益係分別為可程式調整。其中,該第二放大器380之增益值較佳為一。 Each of the plurality of second amplifiers 380 having a gain greater than zero corresponds to one of the transmitting electrodes 310 to transmit an electrical signal on the corresponding transmitting electrode 310 to the transmitting electrode 310 via the second amplifier 370. Corresponding to this reflection bias electrode 370. The gain of the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero and the second amplifier of the plurality of second amplifiers 380 having a gain greater than zero are respectively programmable. The gain value of the second amplifier 380 is preferably one.

圖7A係一習知互電容觸控感應運作之示意圖。圖7B係圖7A中AA'處之剖面圖。如圖7A所示,當發射電極310-j上有正極性之觸控感應訊號、接收電極320-(i-1)、320-i、320-(i+1)沒有觸控感應訊號時,其中,部份電力線由發射電極310-j射向接收電極320-(i-1)、320-i、320-(i+1),部份電力線向下方射出至下方相對電位較負之鄰近導體(圖未示)。當發射電極上為負極性觸控感應訊號時,其電力線分佈方式亦同上述,只是方向相反。 FIG. 7A is a schematic diagram of a conventional mutual capacitance touch sensing operation. Figure 7B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA' of Figure 7A. As shown in FIG. 7A, when the emitter electrode 310-j has a positive touch sensing signal and the receiving electrodes 320-(i-1), 320-i, 320-(i+1) have no touch sensing signals, Wherein, part of the power line is emitted from the transmitting electrode 310-j to the receiving electrode 320-(i-1), 320-i, 320-(i+1), and part of the power line is emitted downward to the adjacent conductor with a negative relative potential below. (not shown). When the emitter electrode is a negative polarity touch sensing signal, the power line is distributed in the same manner as above, but in the opposite direction.

圖8A係本發明懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置300之工作原理之示意圖。圖8B係圖8A中BB'處之剖面圖。如圖8A所示,當發射電極310-j及反射偏向電極370-j上有等量正極性之觸控感應訊號,而接收電極320-(i-1)、320-i、320-(i+1)沒有觸控感應訊號時,由發射電極310-j向外射出之電力線受反射偏向電極之同電位排斥而全部朝上射向接收電極320-(i-1)、320-i、320-(i+1),因此,其向上之電力線倍增且延遠推高,如此其感應的範圍可以變大。而由於其感測 範圍變大,故可執行懸浮感應。 FIG. 8A is a schematic diagram showing the operation of the mutual inductance input device 300 of the suspension induction of the present invention. Figure 8B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB' of Figure 8A. As shown in FIG. 8A, when the emitter electrode 310-j and the reflective deflecting electrode 370-j have the same amount of positive touch sensing signals, the receiving electrodes 320-(i-1), 320-i, 320-(i +1) When there is no touch sensing signal, the power line emitted from the transmitting electrode 310-j is repelled by the same potential of the reflective deflecting electrode and all upwards toward the receiving electrode 320-(i-1), 320-i, 320 -(i+1), therefore, its upward power line is multiplied and the extension is pushed up, so that the range of its induction can be increased. And because of its sensing The range becomes larger, so suspension sensing can be performed.

圖9係本發明一種懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置300之又一示意圖。其與圖6主要差異在於:每一個反射偏向電極370係設置於對應之該發射電極310之周遭。圖10係圖9中CC'處的剖面圖。由圖10可知,由於反射偏向電極370係設置在對應之發射電極310之周遭,故反射偏向電極370與發射電極310係在同一平面。 FIG. 9 is still another schematic diagram of a floating induction mutual capacitance input device 300 of the present invention. The main difference from FIG. 6 is that each of the reflective deflecting electrodes 370 is disposed adjacent to the corresponding transmitting electrode 310. Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view taken at CC' in Figure 9. As can be seen from FIG. 10, since the reflection deflecting electrode 370 is disposed around the corresponding emitter electrode 310, the reflective deflecting electrode 370 and the emitter electrode 310 are in the same plane.

圖11係圖6中一接收電極RX的等效電路圖。如圖11所示,由於本發明使用該至少一個增益大於零之第二放大器380-1將該觸控感應訊號同時輸出至該反射偏向電極370-1,因此該發射電極310-1與該反射偏向電極370-1具有相同的電位(交流),故該發射電極310-1與該反射偏向電極370-1之間的電容CTRS為0,所以接收電極RX的電容CRXeq→G=CRg+CFG。由公式可知,CFG所佔的比例大幅提昇,故偵測靈敏度亦大幅提昇。 Figure 11 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a receiving electrode RX of Figure 6. As shown in FIG. 11, since the present invention uses the at least one second amplifier 380-1 with a gain greater than zero to simultaneously output the touch sensing signal to the reflective deflecting electrode 370-1, the transmitting electrode 310-1 and the reflection The deflecting electrode 370-1 has the same potential (alternating current), so the capacitance C TRS between the transmitting electrode 310-1 and the reflective deflecting electrode 370-1 is 0, so the capacitance of the receiving electrode RX is C RXeq → G = C Rg +C FG . It can be seen from the formula that the proportion of C FG is greatly increased, so the detection sensitivity is also greatly improved.

圖12係本發明一種懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置1200之更一示意圖。其與圖6主要差異在於:將該至少一個增益大於零之第一放大器340移除、並因應更改該第一選擇開關電路350的結構。亦即該懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置1200包含複數個發射電極310、複數個接收電極320、一觸控感應訊號源330、一選擇開關電路1250、複數個反射偏向電極370、複數個增益大於零之放大器380。其中,該等放大器380之增益較佳為一。該懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝 置1200的技術細節可參閱前述說明及圖3至圖11,不再贅述。 12 is a further schematic diagram of a floating induction mutual capacitance input device 1200 of the present invention. The main difference from FIG. 6 is that the at least one first amplifier 340 having a gain greater than zero is removed and the structure of the first selection switch circuit 350 is modified accordingly. That is, the floating-sensing mutual-capacitance input device 1200 includes a plurality of transmitting electrodes 310, a plurality of receiving electrodes 320, a touch sensing signal source 330, a selection switching circuit 1250, a plurality of reflective deflection electrodes 370, and a plurality of gains greater than Zero amplifier 380. The gain of the amplifiers 380 is preferably one. Suspension sensing mutual capacitance input device For the technical details of the 1200, refer to the foregoing description and FIG. 3 to FIG. 11 , and details are not described herein again.

圖13係本發明一種懸浮感應之互電容式輸入裝置1300之更另一示意圖。其與圖12主要差異在於:每一個反射偏向電極370係設置於對應之該發射電極310相同平面之周遭。 FIG. 13 is another schematic diagram of a floating induction mutual capacitance input device 1300 of the present invention. The main difference from FIG. 12 is that each of the reflective deflecting electrodes 370 is disposed around the same plane of the corresponding transmitting electrode 310.

由前述說明可知,本發明使用反射偏向電極370,使發射電極310上的電力線聚集於偵測方向並沿此方向延遠,因此其感測範圍變大,可執行懸浮感應。藉此,可將投射電容式觸控面板技術應用於懸浮感應。 As can be seen from the foregoing description, the present invention uses the reflective deflection electrode 370 such that the power lines on the emitter electrode 310 are concentrated in the detection direction and extend in this direction, so that the sensing range becomes large, and suspension sensing can be performed. Thereby, the projected capacitive touch panel technology can be applied to the suspension sensing.
