Description
本發明係與顯示裝置有關,尤其是關於一種內嵌式電容觸控面板。 The present invention relates to a display device, and particularly relates to an in-cell capacitive touch panel.
一般而言,相較於Out-cell或On-cell觸控面板,內嵌式(In-cell)觸控面板可達到最薄化的觸控面板設計。 Generally speaking, compared to Out-cell or On-cell touch panels, In-cell touch panels can achieve the thinnest touch panel design.
然而,就內嵌式電容觸控面板而言,由於觸控感測電極與顯示電極(例如陰極)較為接近,當內嵌式電容觸控面板受到外力而導致觸控感測電極與顯示電極的間距改變時,會形成相當大的電容變化量。一旦此電容變化量與手指觸碰造成的電容感應量相近,將會難以分辨究竟是手指觸碰或觸控感測電極與顯示電極的間距改變所造成,導致觸控感測上之困難。 However, for the in-cell capacitive touch panel, since the touch-sensing electrodes and the display electrodes (such as the cathode) are relatively close, when the in-cell capacitive touch panel is subjected to external forces, the touch-sensing electrodes and the display electrodes are When the pitch is changed, a considerable amount of capacitance change will be formed. Once the capacitance change amount is close to the capacitance sensing amount caused by a finger touch, it will be difficult to distinguish whether it is caused by the finger touch or the change in the distance between the touch sensing electrode and the display electrode, which causes difficulty in touch sensing.
如圖1所示,於傳統的內嵌式電容觸控面板1中,觸控感測電極TE1~TE2設置於封裝層ENC之下方,並藉由絕緣層ISO與下方的顯示電極(例如陰極)CA彼此分離。此時,觸控感測電極TE1~TE2與顯示電極CA之間的距離H1主要由間隔層(Spacer)PS所決定。觸控感測電極TE1~TE2與顯示電極CA之間形成的電容值為Cb1。
As shown in FIG. 1, in the traditional in-cell
如圖2所示,當使用者的手指FIN觸碰到內嵌式電容
觸控面板1且其觸碰的位置對應於觸控感測電極TE1時,手指FIN與觸控感測電極TE1之間形成的電容值為Cb2。此時,觸控感測電極TE1所感測到的電容值為Cb1與Cb2之和。藉此,觸控感測電極TE1可判斷手指FIN觸碰到內嵌式電容觸控面板1上對應於觸控感測電極TE1的位置,而未被觸碰到的觸控感測電極TE2,其感測到的電容值仍為Cb1。
As shown in Figure 2, when the user’s finger FIN touches the embedded capacitor
When the
請參照圖3A及圖3B,圖3A繪示內嵌式電容觸控面板之複數個觸控感測電極的示意圖;圖3B分別繪示圖3A中之該些觸控感測電極所感測到的電容感應量。如圖3A及圖3B所示,由於手指FIN觸碰內嵌式電容觸控面板1的位置P1係對應於觸控感測電極TE1,所以觸控感測電極TE1所感測到的電容感應量150明顯大於其他觸控感測電極所感測到的電容感應量。藉由偵測該些電容感應量,可以判斷出手指觸碰的位置。
Please refer to FIGS. 3A and 3B. FIG. 3A shows a schematic diagram of a plurality of touch sensing electrodes of the in-cell capacitive touch panel; FIG. 3B shows the touch sensing electrodes in FIG. 3A. Capacitance sensing amount. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, since the position P1 where the finger FIN touches the in-cell
然而,如圖4所示,若使用者的手指FIN觸碰到內嵌式電容觸控面板1時施加較大的外力F1,導致間隔層PS受到壓縮無法維持原本的高度,使得觸控感測電極TE1與顯示電極CA之間的距離由原本的H1縮短為H2,因而導致觸控感測電極TE1與顯示電極CA之間形成的電容值由原本的Cb1增加為Cb1’,亦即Cb1’>Cb1。
However, as shown in FIG. 4, if the user's finger FIN touches the in-cell
此時,如圖5A及圖5B所示,若手指FIN按壓內嵌式電容觸控面板1的位置P2係對應於觸控感測電極TE1,由於Cb1增加至Cb1’,觸控感測電極TE1所感測到的電容感應量會增加至250之外,連未被手指FIN按壓之相鄰的觸控感測電極TE2所感測到的電
容感應量,亦有可能因為間距改變而增加至113,很可能會導致手指FIN的觸碰位置之誤判,亟待改善。
At this time, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, if the finger FIN presses the position P2 of the in-cell
此外,如圖6所示,當內嵌式電容觸控面板1撞擊到物體或摔落到地面時,其所受的外力F2亦可能壓縮間隔層PS而使得觸控感測電極TE1與顯示電極CA之間的距離由原本的H1縮短為H2,因而導致觸控感測電極TE1與顯示電極CA之間形成的電容值由原本的Cb1增加為Cb1’,亦即Cb1’>Cb1。
In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, when the in-cell
此時,由於下壓或撞擊造成的間距改變而導致的電容變化量可能與手指正常觸控時的電容感測量接近,如圖7A及圖7B所示,若受下壓或撞擊的外力F2作用之位置P3係對應於觸控感測電極TE1,除了主要作用位置的觸控感測電極TE1所感測到的電容感應量會增加至120之外,連未直接受外力F2作用之相鄰的觸控感測電極TE2,亦可能因間距改變使所感測到的電容感應量增加至113,很可能會導致在手指並未觸控時誤判有手指觸控之情事發生,亟待改善。 At this time, the amount of capacitance change caused by the change in the distance caused by the depression or impact may be close to the capacitance measurement when the finger is normally touched, as shown in Figure 7A and Figure 7B, if the external force F2 of the depression or impact is applied The position P3 corresponds to the touch-sensing electrode TE1. Except that the capacitance sensed by the touch-sensing electrode TE1 at the main acting position will increase to 120, even adjacent touches that are not directly affected by the external force F2 The sensing electrode TE2 may also increase the amount of capacitance sensed to 113 due to the change in the pitch, which may lead to a misjudgment of finger touch when the finger is not touched, and urgent improvement is needed.

In this embodiment, the in-cell capacitive touch panel can be an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) capacitive touch panel and can be applied to self-capacitance touch technology, but Not limited to this.
請參照圖8,圖8繪示根據本發明之第一較佳具體實施例中之內嵌式電容觸控面板之疊層結構的示意圖。 Please refer to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 illustrates a schematic diagram of the laminated structure of the in-cell capacitive touch panel in the first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
如圖8所示,內嵌式電容觸控面板2包含基板SUB、顯示層OLED、像素界定層PDL、間隔層PS、顯示電極CA、絕緣層ISO、觸控感測電極TE1~TE2、間距感測電極GSE、階段層ST、封裝層ENC、偏光層POL及保護玻璃層CL。
As shown in FIG. 8, the in-cell
實際上,顯示層OLED可以是有機發光二極體層,顯 示電極CA可以是顯示層OLED的陰極或陽極,間隔層PS可由有機或無機材料形成並具有一定高度,顯示電極CA、觸控感測電極TE1~TE2及間距感測電極GSE可由導電材料構成,絕緣層ISO及階段層ST可由絕緣材料構成,但不以此為限。 In fact, the display layer OLED can be an organic light-emitting diode layer. The display electrode CA may be the cathode or anode of the display layer OLED, the spacer layer PS may be formed of organic or inorganic materials and have a certain height, and the display electrode CA, touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, and spacing sensing electrodes GSE may be made of conductive materials. The insulating layer ISO and the stage layer ST can be made of insulating materials, but not limited to this.
顯示層OLED及像素界定層PDL均形成於基板SUB上方,且像素界定層PDL分別形成於顯示層OLED的兩側。間隔層PS係形成於像素界定層PDL上方。顯示電極CA係形成於像素界定層PDL、間隔層PS及顯示層OLED上方。 The display layer OLED and the pixel defining layer PDL are both formed above the substrate SUB, and the pixel defining layer PDL is respectively formed on both sides of the display layer OLED. The spacer layer PS is formed above the pixel defining layer PDL. The display electrode CA is formed above the pixel defining layer PDL, the spacer layer PS and the display layer OLED.
封裝層ENC係與基板SUB彼此相對。觸控感測電極TE1~TE2係形成於封裝層ENC下方。階段層ST係形成於封裝層ENC下方且位於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2之間。間距感測電極GSE係形成於階段層ST下方且位於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2之間。絕緣層ISO係形成於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2、間距感測電極GSE及封裝層ENC下方且位於顯示電極CA上方,用以分隔觸控感測電極TE1~TE2、間距感測電極GSE及顯示電極CA。偏光層POL及保護玻璃層CL依序形成於封裝層ENC上方。 The encapsulation layer ENC is opposite to the substrate SUB. The touch sensing electrodes TE1 to TE2 are formed under the packaging layer ENC. The stage layer ST is formed under the encapsulation layer ENC and located between the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2. The spacing sensing electrode GSE is formed under the stage layer ST and between the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2. The insulating layer ISO is formed under the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, the spacing sensing electrode GSE and the encapsulation layer ENC and above the display electrode CA to separate the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, the spacing sensing electrode GSE and Display electrode CA. The polarizing layer POL and the protective glass layer CL are sequentially formed on the encapsulation layer ENC.
於此實施例中,觸控感測電極TE1~TE2與顯示電極CA之間的電容值為Cb1;間距感測電極GSE與顯示電極CA之間的電容值為Cbp1;觸控感測電極TE1~TE2與顯示電極CA之間的距離為H1;間距感測電極GSE與顯示電極CA之間的距離為HP1。由於階段層ST具有一定的厚度,致使間距感測電極GSE與顯示電極CA之間的距離HP1小於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2與顯示電極CA之間的距離 H1。 In this embodiment, the capacitance value between the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2 and the display electrode CA is Cb1; the capacitance value between the spacing sensing electrode GSE and the display electrode CA is Cbp1; the touch sensing electrode TE1~ The distance between TE2 and the display electrode CA is H1; the distance between the gap sensing electrode GSE and the display electrode CA is HP1. Since the stage layer ST has a certain thickness, the distance HP1 between the gap sensing electrodes GSE and the display electrode CA is smaller than the distance between the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2 and the display electrode CA. H1.
如圖9所示,間距感測電極GSE係設置於相鄰的觸控感測電極TE1~TE2之間,且間距感測電極GSE的面積遠小於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2的面積,使得手指對間距感測電極GSE的感應量較小,以避免干擾正常的觸控感測。 As shown in FIG. 9, the spacing sensing electrodes GSE are arranged between adjacent touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, and the area of the spacing sensing electrodes GSE is much smaller than that of the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, so that The sensing amount of the finger to the gap sensing electrode GSE is small to avoid interference with normal touch sensing.
如圖10所示,當手指FIN按壓內嵌式電容觸控面板2時,由於間距感測電極GSE與位於其下方的顯示電極CA之間的距離HP1’小於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2與位於其下方的顯示電極CA之間的距離H1’,使得當受外力與不受外力時比較,間距感測電極GSE對顯示電極CA的電容變化比例Cbp1’/Cbp1大於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2對顯示電極CA的電容變化比例Cb1’/Cb1。
As shown in FIG. 10, when the finger FIN presses the in-cell
需說明的是,相較於先前技術,由於手指FIN與間距感測電極GSE之間的距離僅多出一個階段層ST的厚度,且階段層ST的厚度(通常為數um)遠小於保護玻璃層CL、偏光層POL及封裝層ENC的厚度(通常為數百um),並且由於間距感測電極GSE的面積遠小於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2。因此,手指FIN對間距感測電極GSE的電容量會低於間距感測電極GSE對間距改變造成的電容量,使得外力對間距感測電極GSE造成的電容變化能夠與手指FIN的觸碰分離,故可在手指FIN按壓內嵌式電容觸控面板2時判斷是否重壓,而對觸控感測電極TE1~TE2的感應量進行基線(Baseline)修正。
It should be noted that, compared with the prior art, the distance between the finger FIN and the gap sensing electrode GSE is only one more than the thickness of the stage layer ST, and the thickness of the stage layer ST (usually several um) is much smaller than the protective glass layer The thickness of the CL, the polarizing layer POL, and the encapsulation layer ENC (usually hundreds of um), and the area of the spacing sensing electrode GSE is much smaller than that of the touch sensing electrodes TE1 to TE2. Therefore, the capacitance of the finger FIN to the gap sensing electrode GSE will be lower than the capacitance of the gap sensing electrode GSE to the gap change, so that the capacitance change caused by the external force on the gap sensing electrode GSE can be separated from the touch of the finger FIN. Therefore, when the finger FIN presses the in-cell
請參照圖11,圖11繪示根據本發明之第二較佳具體實施例中之內嵌式電容觸控面板之疊層結構的示意圖。 Please refer to FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the laminated structure of the in-cell capacitive touch panel in the second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
如圖11所示,內嵌式電容觸控面板3包含基板SUB、顯示層OLED、像素界定層PDL、第一間隔層PS1、第二間隔層PS2、顯示電極CA、絕緣層ISO、觸控感測電極TE1~TE2、間距感測電極GSE、封裝層ENC、偏光層POL及保護玻璃層CL。
As shown in FIG. 11, the in-cell
實際上,顯示層OLED可以是有機發光二極體層,顯示電極CA可以是顯示層OLED的陰極或陽極,第一間隔層PS1及第二間隔層PS2可由有機或無機材料形成並具有一定高度,顯示電極CA、觸控感測電極TE1~TE2及間距感測電極GSE可由導電材料構成,絕緣層ISO可由絕緣材料構成,但不以此為限。 In fact, the display layer OLED can be an organic light emitting diode layer, the display electrode CA can be the cathode or anode of the display layer OLED, the first spacer layer PS1 and the second spacer layer PS2 can be formed of organic or inorganic materials and have a certain height. The electrode CA, the touch sensing electrodes TE1 to TE2, and the spacing sensing electrode GSE may be made of conductive materials, and the insulating layer ISO may be made of insulating materials, but it is not limited thereto.
顯示層OLED及像素界定層PDL均形成於基板SUB上方,且像素界定層PDL分別形成於顯示層OLED的兩側。第一間隔層PS1及第二間隔層PS2均形成於像素界定層PDL上方,但第一間隔層PS1及第二間隔層PS2彼此分離。第二間隔層PS2係對應於間距感測電極GSE而位於間距感測電極GSE下方,且第二間隔層PS2之高度小於第一間隔層PS1之高度。顯示電極CA係形成於像素界定層PDL、第一間隔層PS1、第二間隔層PS2及顯示層OLED上方。 The display layer OLED and the pixel defining layer PDL are both formed above the substrate SUB, and the pixel defining layer PDL is respectively formed on both sides of the display layer OLED. The first spacer layer PS1 and the second spacer layer PS2 are both formed above the pixel defining layer PDL, but the first spacer layer PS1 and the second spacer layer PS2 are separated from each other. The second spacer layer PS2 corresponds to the spacer electrode GSE and is located below the spacer electrode GSE, and the height of the second spacer layer PS2 is smaller than the height of the first spacer layer PS1. The display electrode CA is formed on the pixel defining layer PDL, the first spacer layer PS1, the second spacer layer PS2 and the display layer OLED.
封裝層ENC係與基板SUB彼此相對。觸控感測電極TE1~TE2係形成於封裝層ENC下方。間距感測電極GSE係形成於封裝層ENC下方且位於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2之間。絕緣層ISO係形成於觸控感測電極TE1~TE2、間距感測電極GSE及封裝層ENC下方且位於顯示電極CA上方,用以分隔觸控感測電極TE1~TE2、間距感測電極GSE及顯示電極CA。偏光層POL及保護玻璃層CL依序形 成於封裝層ENC上方。 The encapsulation layer ENC is opposite to the substrate SUB. The touch sensing electrodes TE1 to TE2 are formed under the packaging layer ENC. The spacing sensing electrodes GSE are formed under the encapsulation layer ENC and between the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2. The insulating layer ISO is formed under the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, the spacing sensing electrode GSE and the encapsulation layer ENC and above the display electrode CA to separate the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, the spacing sensing electrode GSE and Display electrode CA. The polarizing layer POL and the protective glass layer CL are sequentially formed Formed above the encapsulation layer ENC.
需說明的是,由於位於間距感測電極GSE下方的第二間隔層PS2之高度小於第一間隔層PS1之高度,使得位於間距感測電極GSE下方的絕緣層ISO與位於第二間隔層PS2上方的顯示電極CA之間有空隙GAP1。藉此,當內嵌式電容觸控面板3受到外力無法維持固定間距時,空隙GAP1的距離也會因此減少,以感測間距變化。
It should be noted that since the height of the second spacer layer PS2 under the spacing sensing electrode GSE is smaller than the height of the first spacer layer PS1, the insulating layer ISO located under the spacing sensing electrode GSE is different from the insulating layer ISO located above the second spacer layer PS2. There is a gap GAP1 between the display electrodes CA. In this way, when the in-cell

The first spacer layer PS1 and the second spacer layer PS2 are both formed above the pixel defining layer PDL, but the first spacer layer PS1 and the second spacer layer PS2 are separated from each other. The second spacer layer PS2 corresponds to the sense of spacing The sensing electrode GSE is located below the spacing sensing electrode GSE, and the height of the second spacer layer PS2 is smaller than the height of the first spacer layer PS1. The display electrode CA is formed on the pixel defining layer PDL, the first spacer layer PS1, the second spacer layer PS2 and the display layer OLED. The encapsulation layer ENC is opposite to the substrate SUB. The touch sensing electrodes TE1 to TE2 are formed under the packaging layer ENC. The stage layer ST is formed under the encapsulation layer ENC and located between the touch sensing electrodes TE1 to TE2. The spacing sensing electrode GSE is formed under the stage layer ST and between the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2. The insulating layer ISO is formed under the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, the spacing sensing electrode GSE and the encapsulation layer ENC and above the display electrode CA to separate the touch sensing electrodes TE1~TE2, the spacing sensing electrode GSE and Display electrode CA.
需說明的是,由於階段層ST的厚度(通常為數um)遠小於保護玻璃層CL、偏光層POL及封裝層ENC的厚度(通常為數百um),當手指FIN按壓內嵌式電容觸控面板4時,手指FIN對間距感測電極GSE的電容量會低於間距感測電極GSE與顯示電極CA之間距改變造成的電容量,使得下壓力對間距感測電極GSE造成的電容變化能夠與手指FIN的觸碰分離,故可判斷手指FIN是否重壓內嵌式電容觸控面板4,而對觸控感測電極TE1~TE2的感應量進行基線修正。
It should be noted that since the thickness of the stage layer ST (usually several um) is much smaller than the thickness of the protective glass layer CL, the polarizing layer POL and the encapsulation layer ENC (usually several hundred um), when the finger FIN presses the in-cell capacitive touch In
此外,由於位於間距感測電極GSE下方的第二間隔層PS2之高度小於第一間隔層PS1之高度,使得位於間距感測電極GSE下方的絕緣層ISO與位於第二間隔層PS2上方的顯示電極CA之間有一空隙GAP2。藉此,當內嵌式電容觸控面板4受外力而導致無法維
持固定間距時,空隙GAP2的距離將會縮小,以感測間距變化。
In addition, since the height of the second spacer layer PS2 located under the spacing sensing electrode GSE is smaller than the height of the first spacer layer PS1, the insulating layer ISO located under the spacing sensing electrode GSE and the display electrode located above the second spacing layer PS2 are There is a gap GAP2 between CAs. As a result, when the in-cell
相較於先前技術,根據本發明之內嵌式電容觸控面板利用間距感測電極偵測觸控感測電極與顯示電極之間的距離變化,使得觸控感測電極能夠明確區分其感測到的電容變化係來自於手指按壓或是顯示電極與觸控感測電極的間距改變所造成,藉以有效避免先前技術的觸控誤判之情事發生。 Compared with the prior art, the in-cell capacitive touch panel according to the present invention uses spacing sensing electrodes to detect changes in the distance between the touch sensing electrodes and the display electrodes, so that the touch sensing electrodes can clearly distinguish their sensing The resulting capacitance change is caused by finger pressing or the change in the distance between the display electrode and the touch sensing electrode, so as to effectively avoid the misjudgment of touch in the prior art.
