See also Figure 1A, Figure 1A is the synoptic diagram that illustrates the touch control induction device 1 of one specific embodiment according to the present invention.Shown in Figure 1A, touch control induction device 1 comprises touch-control sensing assembly 10 and processing unit 12.Touch-control sensing assembly 10 further comprises accommodation space 100, first substrate layer 102, second substrate layer 104, driver 106 and sensor 108.
In this specific embodiment, first substrate layer 102 comprises first conductive layer 1020 and first dielectric layer 1022; 104 of second substrate layers comprise second conductive layer 1040 and second dielectric layer 1042.First substrate layer 102 and second substrate layer 104 limit accommodation spaces 100, and accommodation space 100 can hold fluid 1000, wherein, and first dielectric layer 1022 and second dielectric layer, 1042 contacting with fluid 1000.Note that in practice, can sidewall be set in the side of accommodation space in case fluid stopping is external spills accommodation space and cause touch control induction device to damage.In addition, in this specific embodiment, first substrate layer 102 and second substrate layer 104 are to make with transparent material, and fluid 1000 is fluids of transparent and electrically conductive.Yet in practice, first substrate layer 102 and second substrate layer also may be made with trnaslucent materials or opaque material, and fluid 1000 also may be for translucent or opaque.
Sensor 108 has sensing cell 1080, with the electrical specification of sensing fluid 1000 and produce sensing signal, in this specific embodiment, sensing cell 1080 is arranged at the conductive junction point on first dielectric layer 1022 and second dielectric layer 1042 respectively, yet in practice, the setting of sensing cell with and quantity be to determine according to user or deviser's demand, but not be subject to this specific embodiment.
Before touch control induction device 1 was operated, driver 106 can provide at least one each and every one first electric charge, 140 to first conductive layers 1020, at least one each and every one second electric charge, 142 to second conductive layers 1040 and at least one each and every one tricharged 144 to fluid 1000 earlier.Wherein, first electric charge 140 and second electric charge 142 are positive polarity, and 144 of trichargeds are negative polarity.In practice, first electric charge 140 and second electric charge, 142 same polarities and tricharged 144 get final product with aforementioned both reversed polarity.Note that the quantity that driver provides first electric charge 140, second electric charge 142 and tricharged 144 must be not identical with the quantity of figure A in practical application, see user or deviser's demand and decide.In addition, in practice, driver 106 can further comprise the driver element that is arranged in the fluid providing electric charge to fluid, and these driver elements also can merge with sensing cell and become the unit with complex function.
By the wet effect of electricity, fluid 1000 presents the geometric shape as Figure 1A, and its geometric shape will change according to the variation of the relative populations of first electric charge 140, second electric charge 142 and tricharged 144.
When indicating member 2 was less than or equal to a threshold values near first substrate layer 102 and its distance, the 4th electric charge 20 that is had on the indicating member 2 can change the quantity of first electric charge 140.Note that threshold values herein is relevant with the material of first substrate layer 104.If this threshold values is zero, expression indicating member 2 needs contact first substrate layer 102 and changes first electric charge 140 by conduction pattern; On the other hand, if this threshold values is non-vanishing, expression indicating member 2 can not contact first substrate layer 102 and change first electric charge 140 by induction mode.When first electric charge 140 changed, the geometric shape of fluid 1000 changed, and causes the electrical specification of fluid 1000 also to change thereupon.In this specific embodiment, the electrical specification of fluid 1000 is equiva lent impedances of fluid 1000.Yet in practice, the electrical specification of fluid 1000 also may be other suitable character.
According to another specific embodiment, first substrate layer 102 of Figure 1A can be made by resilient material, will produce deformation and force fluid 1000 when first substrate layer 102 is subjected to external force.Therefore, when indicating member 2 contact first substrate layer 102, first substrate layer 102 is produced pressure and causes its deformation, the related geometric shape that makes fluid 1000 changes and causes its electrical specification to produce thereupon and changes.
Sensor 108 is the electrical specifications in order to sensing fluid 1000.In this specific embodiment, when the electrical specification of fluid 1000, that is, its equiva lent impedance when changing, can produce sensing signal according to its electrical specification.Yet, the electrical specification of fluid 1000 is at indicating member 2 during not near touch control induction device 1, still can be subjected to external interference and produces slight variations, therefore, in practice, sensing cell can be set to sense when the electrical specification variation surpasses to a certain degree and produce sensing signal to avoid noise.For example, shown in Figure 1B, indicating member 2 contact touch sensing devices 1, cause the geometric shape of fluid 1000 to change into the first fluid part P1 and the second fluid section P2 that fits in respectively on first dielectric layer 1022 and second dielectric layer 1042, the equiva lent impedance that senses between two sensing cells 1080 is quite big, that is off state.Therefore, sensor 108 can optionally produce sensing signal or produce different sensing signals according to channel status between the sensing cell 1080 or off state.
In practice, the touch control induction device 1 of a last specific embodiment also can be in order to the sensing contact pressure.For example, if being resilient material and the geometric shape of controlling fluid 1000 earlier, first substrate layer 102 changes the first fluid part P1 and the second fluid section P2 shown in Figure 1B, when indicating member 2 contacts and brings pressure to bear on first substrate layer 102 above a degree, the first fluid part P1 and the second fluid section P2 can contact with each other the electrical variation that causes sensor 108 to sense can judge first substrate layer, 102 deformation degree, further calculates the pressure that puts on first substrate layer 102 again.
In addition, the sensing signal that processing unit 12 can be produced in order to receiving sensor 108, and judge the touch-control state of touch control induction device 1 according to sensing signal.After touch-control finished, driver 106 can make the quantity of first electric charge 140, second electric charge 142 and tricharged 144 reply, and then made the geometric configuration of fluid 1000 and electrical specification revert to the not preceding state of touch-control.
Above-mentioned touch control induction device can further comprise a plurality of touch-control sensing assemblies in practice.The touch-control state of each touch-control sensing assembly of sensing can be distinguished by the sensor that is arranged at each touch-control sensing assembly, therefore, the multiple spot function of touch-control simultaneously can be reached.
The touch-control process of above-mentioned specific embodiment be to increase because of ectocine has caused electric wet effect, and its fluid electrical specification of sensing changes to judge the touch-control state.By touch control induction device design itself, can utilize open circuit/off state to carry out touch control operation, or the equiva lent impedance that the different geometric shapes of accurate sensing cell measurement fluid of arranging in pairs or groups are caused is to carry out touch control operation.Yet, when first electric charge of charge polarity that indicating member had and touch control induction device not simultaneously, carry out the reduction that touch-control will cause the wet effect of electricity.In order to keep the actual induction of touch-control, measure the fluid electrical specification the various Aided Design of also can arranging in pairs or groups except utilizing above-mentioned accurate sensing cell.
For example, utilization has specific electrical indicating member (as the touch-control sensing pen) and replaces other and have not specific electrical indicating member (as finger) and carry out touch-control, can cause when guaranteeing to carry out touch-control the fluid electrical specification that is enough to influence the primary circuit state to change.In addition, also can the induction correction zone be set earlier at the indicating member surface, this induction correction zone can be measured the charge polarity and the quantity on indicating member surface earlier before carrying out touch control operation, and according to gained as a result Control Driver corresponding polarity is provided electric charge to touch control induction device, can cause when guaranteeing to carry out touch-control the fluid electrical specification that is enough to influence the primary circuit state to change.
On the other hand, when light source incident touch control induction device, because first substrate layer, second substrate layer and fluid have high-transmittance, light source can pass through touch control induction device.Therefore, touch control induction device of the present invention can be used on the touch-control treating apparatus, for example, but is not subject to personal digital assistant or mobile phone.In addition, because the geometric shape of fluid changes the direct of travel that can change light source when carrying out touch-control, if indicating member leaves the geometric shape when fluid still keeps touch-control behind the touch control induction device, it is different with other regional light source characteristic to make the user observe out this part, and then makes touch control induction device of the present invention reach the function of handwriting pad.

Sensor 308 has sensing cell 3080, with the electrical specification of sensing fluid 3000 and produce sensing signal, in this specific embodiment, sensing cell 3080 is the conductive junction points that are arranged at first substrate layer 302 and dielectric layer 3042 respectively, yet in practice, the setting of sensing cell with and quantity be to determine according to user or deviser's demand, but not be subject to this specific embodiment.
In this specific embodiment, driver 306 can provide at least one each and every one first electric charge 340 to conductive layer 3040 and provide at least one each and every one second electric charge 342 to fluid 3000.By the wet effect of electricity, fluid 3000 can present the geometric shape as Fig. 2 A, and in addition, first electric charge 340 that driver 306 is provided by change and the quantity of second electric charge 342 can change the geometric shape of fluid 3000.Similarly, driver also can comprise the driver element that is arranged in the fluid in practice, to provide electric charge to fluid.
First substrate layer 302 is made of flexible material, puts on as external force and can make 302 deformation of first substrate layer on first substrate layer 302.See also Fig. 2 B, Fig. 2 B illustrates indicating member 4 contacts and applies the synoptic diagram of external force in the touch control induction device 3 of Fig. 2 A.Shown in Fig. 2 B, driver 306 provides first electric charge 340 and second electric charge 342 to cause fluid 3000 to present the geometric shape that shows as figure.When indicating member 4 externally applied forces surpass an external force threshold values, the deformation that first substrate layer 302 produces causes sensing cell 3080 contacting with fluid 3000 that are positioned on first substrate layer 302, so its circuit state of sensor 308 sensings is to be changed over channel status and produced sensing signal by off state.Processing unit 32 can be in order to receiving sensing signal, and judge the touch-control state of touch control induction device according to sensing signal.
According to the material behavior of first substrate layer 302, can calculate the external force of its acceptance and the relativeness of its deformation.Therefore, material behavior by first substrate layer 302, can instead release when processing unit 32 judges that the touch-control state changes (in this specific embodiment, circuit state changes over channel status by off state), first substrate layer 302 is subjected to the external force size of indicating member 4.Further, by the geometric shape of driver 308 control fluids 3000, can control the external force threshold values of the external force of this specific embodiment indirectly.
In practical application, first substrate layer also can be designed to have the structure of conductive layer and dielectric layer.Driver provides the conductive layer of corresponding first substrate layer, the conductive layer of second substrate layer and the electric charge of fluid simultaneously, causes fluid to form to fit in respectively two fluid sections on the dielectric layer of the dielectric layer of first substrate layer and second substrate layer.When being instructed to the unit, pushes first substrate layer, and when its external force of pushing reaches an external force threshold values, two fluid sections will contact with each other and make circuit state change over channel status and sensed unit senses by off state, and then produce sensing signal to processing unit.
