Definitions
- the present invention uses a time periodic signal as an input signal for a time that is relatively high frequency compared to a change rate of a user motion or an object motion to be sensed, such as a capacitive sensor or an inductive sensor.
- SNR signal-to-noise ratio
- the contents of the present invention include a liquid crystal display (hereinafter referred to as LCD) and an organic light-emitting diode (hereinafter referred to as OLED).
- Capacitive sensors or inductive sensors are widely used for various purposes.
- the periodic signal is used as the input signal for the time which is relatively high frequency compared to the change speed of the user motion or the object motion. .
- a relatively large output signal can be obtained through capacitive or magnetic coupling in the sensor device only when the frequency of the applied signal is relatively high.
- the noise component induced in the sensor device also appears in the output signal of the sensor circuit, in order to obtain a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the amplitude of the driving signal input to the sensor device must be greatly increased.
- SNR signal-to-noise ratio
- the present invention was applied to a touch sensor circuit including a touch sensor panel attached to a flat panel display device such as an LCD and an OLED.
- a touch sensor panel is attached to a flat panel display device including an LCD and an OLED in a mobile phone or a tablet PC and used as an input device through a touch operation using a finger or a pen.
- capacitive touch sensor panels which use mechanical glass to eliminate mechanical movement, have been widely used.
- the capacitive touch sensor panel is constructed by placing a glass plane for the touch sensor panel on the flat panel display and attaching tempered glass on it. Mechanical movements are not transmitted to the glass plates and flat panel display devices. Therefore, the capacitive touch sensor panel does not have the disadvantage of reducing the life of the display device even by repeated touch operations.
- the capacitive touch sensor panel is divided into a method of measuring self capacitance and a method of measuring mutual capacitance. Initially, a method of measuring its own capacitance was mainly used, and as the number of touches increased to three or more, a method of measuring mutual capacitance was increasingly used.
- self capacitance is capacitance between each conductor and reference node, and mutual capacitance is capacitance between two crossing conductors.
- the reference node (ground) of self capacitance corresponds to an LCD common electrode (VCOM) terminal in the case of a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a common cathode terminal in the OLED.
- VCOM LCD common electrode
- the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is considerably small due to VCOM noise generated in a flat panel display such as an LCD or an OLED.
- the common electrode (VCOM) noise refers to the LCD common electrode (VCOM) noise and OLED common cathode electrode noise. Therefore, in this capacitive touch method, it is essential to reduce the influence of the VCOM noise generated in the flat panel display.
- the VA method is a capacitive touch sensor because the common electrode (VCOM) node is located on the upper glass substrate of the LCD located far from the backlight of the LCD among the two glass substrates constituting the plane LCD. The distance from the panel electrode is close.
- VCOM common electrode
- the common electrode (VCOM) node is located on the lower glass substrate of the LCD located close to the backlight, so that the distance from the capacitive touch sensor panel electrode is far.
- a conductive plane does not exist except an antistatic film having a relatively high resistance value between the touch sensor panel and the LCD, so the touch sensor panel electrode is a video signal driven by a TFT or a source driver (analog gray scale signal).
- the pixel of the LCD is composed of two electrodes and a liquid crystal and a color filter positioned between the two electrodes. These electrodes are made of a transparent electrode made of indium tin oxide (ITO) or the like on a glass plate. As shown in FIG. 2, an analog signal representing a gray scale transmitted from a source driver through a TFT switch is applied to one of the two electrodes.
- the other common node is applied with a voltage of about DC 5V in common to all pixels. This common node is called a common electrode (VCOM) node. Since the capacitive touch sensor panel usually does not have a ground or reference electrode as the touch sensor panel itself, and is directly attached to the LCD device, the LCD common electrode (VCOM) node serves as a reference voltage node of the capacitive touch sensor panel.
- gate driver lines G1 to G3 corresponding to each row in the LCD are sequentially driven according to positions.
- Each gate driver line is connected to a large number of gate nodes of a TFT switch (about 6000 in full HD).
- a relatively large capacitance of tens of pF is connected to one gate driver line.
- the gate driving signal maintains a value of about -5V when off and about + 25V when on. Therefore, the rising and falling edge times of the gate driver signal cause significant voltage fluctuations in a short time, so a significant amount of displacement current I N (which can be expressed as (CdV / dt)).
- t) flows through the gate capacitance C GD and the liquid crystal capacitance C LC of the TFT to the LCD common electrode VCOM node.
- FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a noise generation mechanism of the common electrode VCOM by the driving signal of the gate driver line illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the displacement current I N (t) passes through the common electrode plane (VCOM plane) composed of transparent electrodes and then flows through the output resistance (RO) of the LCD common electrode (VCOM) driver circuit (driver).
- the electrode VCOM waveform is displayed in the form of an impulse at the rising edge and the falling edge of the gate driver signal.
- the gate driver signal sequentially moves to the next gate driver line, and the common electrode VCOM noise has an impulse waveform in each of the rising and falling edges of the gate driver signal in all the gate driver lines. .
- the capacitive touch method is divided into a method of measuring self capacitance and a method of measuring mutual capacitance.
- the self capacitance when touched, adds the capacitance between the human body and the earth and increases its value, thereby determining whether or not there is a touch.
- its capacitance is relatively insensitive to LCD common electrode (VCOM) noise since its value has a relatively large capacitance value of about 20 pF or more.
- VCOM LCD common electrode
- the capacitive touch method when the number of simultaneously touching positions increases to three or more, mutual capacitance should be measured.
- the mutual capacitance value between the two electrodes crossing at the touched position decreases.
- the mutual capacitance usually has a value of about 1 pF, and the mutual capacitance value decreases by about 10% to 20% by a touch operation.
- one electrode X [j] of the mutual capacitance C Mi, j is connected to an inverting input terminal of a charge amplifier and the other electrode Y [i] is driven. It is connected to the signal generator 120.
- C Mi, j is the mutual capacitance between the i-th Y electrode Y [i] and the j-th X electrode X [j].
- the value of C Mi, j decreases by about 10% to 20%, thereby decreasing the charge amplifier output voltage amplitude. This is because the same as the product of the ratio C Mi, j / C F value to the driving signal voltage to the amplitude of the output voltage amplitude of the charge amplifier and the C Mi, j changes.
- the touch sensor panel is connected to the inverting input terminal of the charge amplifier electrodes (X [j]) and a common node (VCOM) itself (self) capacitance common node noise through (C SXj) between the electrode (VCOM noise) to the voltage C SXj
- VCOM common node
- C SXj common node noise
- the common electrode (VCOM) noise amplitude is smaller than the amplitude of the touch sensor panel drive signal, since the self capacitance (C SXj ) is usually 20 times or more than the mutual capacitance (C Mi, j ), the charge amplifier output signal The signal-to-noise ratio of S is often less than one. In such a situation, in order to overcome the LCD common electrode (VCOM) noise and stably determine the touch in the mutual capacitance measurement method, a noise reduction type touch sensor is essential.
- the chopper method applies a signal identical to the driving signal applied to the capacitive touch sensor panel to the receiving circuit unit, multiplies the charge amplifier output signal of the receiving circuit unit with the same signal as the driving signal in the chopper circuit, and By passing the output signal through an integrator or low-pass filter, the effect of the common electrode (VCOM) noise on the integrator or low-pass filter output is reduced.
- VCOM common electrode
- the method of increasing the amplitude of the driving signal is a method of increasing the amplitude of the driving signal of the touch sensor panel to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output signal of the receiving circuit unit to one or more.
- SNR signal-to-noise ratio
- a method of adjusting the frequency of the touch sensor panel driving signal is to find a frequency having a small noise level on the frequency spectrum of the common electrode (VCOM) noise and to adjust the driving signal frequency to the frequency.
- the method of operating only the time interval in which the flat panel display is not operated is that the common electrode (VCOM) noise is not generated in the VBLANK section, which is the time interval until the screen transmission of one frame is completed and the next frame transmission starts. Since it does not occur, the touch sensor circuit is operated only in the VBLANK section.
- VCOM common electrode
- the peak-to-peak voltage value of the driving signal was 20V or more, but recently, it has been lowered to about 5V by using a combination of several of the above solutions.
- 5V is still much larger than the supply voltage of the recent semiconductor chip, when the peak-to-peak voltage value of the driving signal is reduced to about 3V or 1V by using an additional VCOM noise reduction technique, the current voltage is not added.
- the supply voltage of the semiconductor chip can be used as it is in the driving signal generator.
- the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to reduce the influence of the noise induced in the sensor element while maintaining the amplitude of the input signal to a relatively small value in the sensing device using a periodic signal as an input signal over time
