Background technology
Projected capacitive touch technology is not only used at large size panel, at small-medium size panel as the trend of the times especially of the application market of intelligent mobile phone and flat computer.The inductive component of projection-type touch-control is to utilize the matrix of two conductive layers (ITO) to arrange the rear formation of laminating, when pointing or conductive stylus touches electrode, can affect and change line of electric force and capacitance on electrode.By electronic package, measure the electric capacity change amount producing because of touch-control, then be converted into xy coordinate to be reported to operating system end.The mode that has two kinds of signals to measure, a kind of is self-induction type (self capacitance), another kind is mutual inductance type (mutual capacitance).
In the signal scan mode of mutual inductance type, integrated circuit (Integrated Circuit, IC) can independently in electrode, input electrical signal at each, with attempt, at each electrode position, form the induced electricity line of force distribution of a fixed amount, this line of electric force can zonally be associated with electrode electrode around itself.When finger touch is near electrode time, the line of electric force that electrode around interacts originally can change because of finger touch, and integrated circuit can calculate the change amount of the corresponding capacitance of this electrode and convert and become the position of touch point.
Refer to Fig. 1, it is the not sense state schematic diagram when the electrode of object.As shown in the figure, contactor control device 13 comprises electrode 10 and electrode 11, has the induced electricity line of force 12 of a fixed amount between electrode 10 and electrode 11, and the induced electricity line of force 12 is now the not state when the electrode of object.Refer to Fig. 2, it is the sense state schematic diagram of object during near electrode.As shown in the figure, when object 14 is during near electrode 10,11, object 14 causes the induced electricity line of force 12 to change, and contactor control device 13 is according to the change of the induced electricity line of force 12, and obtains the position of object 14 touching contactor control devices 13.Therefore, if the underswing that the induced electricity line of force 12 changes, contactor control device 13 cannot be confirmed the position that object 14 is touched, or produces the phenomenon of erroneous judgement.
Moreover, except the variable quantity of the induced electricity line of force, the usefulness of capacitive touch control plate also to a basic electric capacity (C-base) have relevant, when basic electric capacity is high, the variable quantity of the induced electricity line of force becomes not obvious, induction is difficult for, so usefulness reduction, in other words, the usefulness of capacitance type touch-control panel is proportional to Δ C/C-base, so, except increasing the variable quantity of the induced electricity line of force, come raising efficiency, separately can reduce basic electric capacity and carry out raising efficiency.
Therefore, touch-control electrode module of the present invention and contactor control device thereof, it changes electrode structure, promotes the usefulness of capacitive touch control plate to reduce the basic electric capacity of electrode, and then increase the touch detection sensitivity of contactor control device, and increase a plurality of shielding electrodes and reach the object of visual effect homogenising.

Moreover, because touch-control electrode module of the present invention is the top that is arranged at a display panel, make display panel see through touch-control electrode module and show that an image frame supplies user touch-control electrode module to be touched by image frame, yet, the present invention arranges electrode breach in those first electrodes 20 and the edge of those the second electrodes 21, so, make image frame that display panel provides after touch-control electrode module, cause image frame to have the inhomogeneous phenomenon of visual effect, so, the present invention utilizes those shielding electrodes 26 to be arranged at the electrode breach of those first electrodes 20 and those the second electrodes 21, can reach the phenomenon of visual effect homogenising.
See also Fig. 4, it is the electrical property state schematic diagram of object of the present invention during near electrode.The sectional view of the ZZ ' direction that as shown in the figure, Fig. 4 is Fig. 3.Contactor control device 13 comprises those first electrodes 20 and those the second electrodes 21, and those the first electrode utmost points 20 and those the second electrodes 21 have electrical property state.During object 14 touching contactor control device 13, the part induced electricity line of force 22 between object 14 and the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21 is affected by object 14 and reduces generation one and touch the induced electricity line of force 23, from Fig. 4 comparison diagram 2, the present invention has reduced the basic electric capacity of those first electrodes 20 with those the second electrodes 21 because of those electrode breach 25, and while making those first electrodes 20 of object 14 touching with those second electrodes 21, the variable quantity of its induced electricity line of force 22 is greater than former times and knows the variable quantity of the induced electricity line of force 12 between the electrode 10 of technology and electrode 11, and the detecting sensitivity of lifting contactor control device, therefore, the present invention reduces the basic electric capacity of those first electrodes 20 and those the second electrodes 21 by those electrode breach 25 are set, and correspondence relatively significantly changes the induced electricity line of force between those first electrodes 20 and those the second electrodes 21, and the detecting sensitivity of lifting contactor control device.
Accept above-mentioned, when the first electrode 20 does not comprise electrode breach 25, the area of the first electrode 20 is 100%, yet, when the first electrode 20 comprises an electrode breach 25,90~95% of the area that the area of the first electrode 20 is the first electrode 20 of not comprising electrode breach 25,5% to 10% of the area that the area of electrode breach 25 is the first electrode 20 of not comprising electrode breach 25.Similarly, 90~95% of the area that the area of the second electrode 21 is the second electrode 21 of not comprising electrode breach 25,5% to 10% of the area that the area of electrode breach 25 is the second electrode 21 of not comprising electrode breach 25.In addition, when if the first electrode 20 comprises four electrode breach 25,60~80% of the area that the area of the first electrode 20 is the first electrode 20 of not comprising electrode breach 25,20% to 40% of the area that the area of electrode breach 25 is the first electrode 20 of not comprising electrode breach 25.
Accept above-mentioned, according to the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21, comprise respectively four electrode breach 25, and, 60% of the area that the area of the first electrode 20 (the second electrode 21) is the first electrode 20 (the second electrode 21) of not comprising electrode breach 25,40% of the area that the area of electrode breach 25 is the first electrode 20 (the second electrode 21) of not comprising electrode breach 25.Therefore when the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21 not yet comprise those electrode breach 25, the area of the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21 is respectively 100%, and stores 100% energy.But, when the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21 comprise those electrode breach 25, the area of the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21 is respectively 60% of the first electrode 20 of originally not comprising those electrode breach 25 and the second electrode 21, so, have the first electrode 20 of electrode breach 25 and the second electrode 21 to store 60% energy.In other words, those electrode breach 25 account for the first electrode 20 that does not comprise those electrode breach 25 area 40%, similarly those electrode breach 25 also account for the second electrode 21 that does not comprise those electrode breach 25 area 40%.So, those first electrodes 20 and those the second electrodes 21 are lowered respectively 40% storage power.Therefore, when if the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21 not yet comprise those electrode breach 25, the variable quantity 24 of the induced electricity line of force between object 14 and the first electrode 20, supposing it to account for associative perception, to answer the ratio of line of electric force 22 be 10%, in other words, the variable quantity 24 of the induced electricity line of force between object 14 and the first electrode 20 fixedly accounts for associative perception, and to answer the ratio of line of electric force 22 be 10%, be object 14 while not touching contactor control device 13 the induced electricity line of force 22 be 100%, the variable quantity 24 of the rear induced electricity line of force of object 14 touching contactor control device 13 is 10%, and the induced electricity line of force 22 remaining 90%, therefore accounting for associative perception, the variable quantity 24 of the induced electricity line of force answer line of electric force 22 for 10/100=10%.Yet, when if the first electrode 20 and the second electrode 21 comprise those electrode breach 25, the variable quantity 24 of the induced electricity line of force between object 14 and the first electrode 20, it accounts for associative perception and answers the ratio of line of electric force 22 to be promoted to 16.7%, be object 14 while not touching contactor control device 13 the induced electricity line of force 22 be 60% (this is the weight of the induced electricity line of force 22 compared to the touch-control electrode module that does not comprise electrode breach 25), the variable quantity 24 of the rear induced electricity line of force of object 14 touching contactor control device 13 is equally 10%, and the induced electricity line of force 22 remaining 50%, therefore accounting for associative perception, the variable quantity 24 of the induced electricity line of force answer line of electric force 22 to be promoted to 10/60=16.7%.In other words, the variable quantity 24 of the induced electricity line of force between object 14 and the first electrode 20 fixedly accounts for associative perception and answers the ratio of line of electric force 22 to be promoted to 16.7%.Therefore, by the setting of electrode breach 25, increase the weight of the variable quantity 24 of the induced electricity line of force, and increase the sensitivity of contactor control device 13 detecting touch positions.Yet above-mentioned explanation is only of the present invention one for example, the present invention does not limit the design category of touch-control electrode module, i.e. the variable quantity 24 that the present invention does not limit the induced electricity line of force accounts for the weight that associative perception is answered line of electric force 22.
Consult again Fig. 3, and please separately consult Fig. 5, it is the schematic diagram of another embodiment of the setting position of electrode breach of the present invention.As shown in Figure 3, those electrode breach 25 of the present embodiment be set to mutual correspondence, it is the electrode breach 25 of electrode breach 25 relative those second electrodes 21 of those the first electrodes 20, in addition, as shown in Figure 5, the electrode breach 25 of those the first electrodes 20 can be mutually not corresponding with the setting of the electrode breach 25 of those the second electrodes 21 yet, that is to say, the electrode breach 25 of those the first electrodes 20 is not with respect to the electrode breach 25 of those the second electrodes 21, so, the present invention can arrange those electrode breach 25 in the optional position at the edge of those the first electrodes 20, and the present invention also can arrange those electrode breach 25 in the optional position at the edge of those the second electrodes 21.In addition, the shape of those shielding electrodes 29 is also along with the change of the shape of those electrode breach 25 and change.
In addition, those first electrodes 20 of the present invention and those the second electrodes 21 can be the shapes such as a rhombus, a quadrilateral or a polygon, and Fig. 3 of the present invention is usingd the explanation of a quadrilateral as embodiment, but the present invention does not limit touch-control electrode module and is only applied to tetragonal electrode shape.
Moreover, between those shielding electrodes 26 and those the first electrodes 20, there is one first spacing A, and there is one second spacing B between those shielding electrodes 26 and those the second electrodes 21.The present invention is designed to 30 μ m by the first spacing A, and second spacing B be also designed to 30 μ m, yet the design of the first spacing A and the second spacing B can be changed according to demand, the present embodiment is only one for example, and not limiting the first spacing A and the second spacing B is only 30 μ m.In addition, the shape of shielding electrode 26 is to change along with the shape of those electrode breach 25, as shown in Figure 3, those electrode breach 25 are a leg-of-mutton breach in right angle, so, the shape of two right-angle triangles of shielding electrode 26 foundations, and be a tetragonal electrode shape.
In addition, as shown in Figure 3, those first electrodes 20 are longitudinal arrangement, and those first electrodes 20 are for comprising four electrode breach 25, the upper edge of those the first electrodes 20 comprises two electrode breach 25, the lower edge of those the first electrodes 20 comprises two electrode breach 25, and the spacing between two electrode breach 25 of upper edge is greater than the spacing between the electrode breach 25 of upper edge and the electrode breach 25 of lower edge.Moreover, those second electrodes 21 are transversely arranged, and those second electrodes 21 are for comprising four electrode breach 25, the upper edge of those the second electrodes 21 comprises two electrode breach 25, the lower edge of those the second electrodes 21 comprises two electrode breach 25, and the spacing between two electrode breach 25 of upper edge is less than the spacing between the electrode breach 25 of upper edge and the electrode breach 25 of lower edge.
For instance, the spacing C of the first electrode 20 is greater than the space D of the first electrode 20, and the present embodiment is designed to spacing C to be greater than a ratio of space D, and this ratio is 2.5 times.But, the present embodiment also can be designed to spacing C to be greater than 3 times of space D, so, ratio between spacing C and space D, can be between 2.5 times to 3 times, still, the design direction of the second electrode 21 is contrary each other with the design direction of the first electrode 20, the second electrode 21 is by the spacing of electrode breach 25 longitudinally, is designed to be greater than the spacing of transverse electrode breach 25.Similarly, same as described above in other first electrode 20 of the present embodiment and the spacing design of other the second electrode 21.Yet the present invention only be take 2.5 times to 3 times as one for example, does not limit the design category between spacing C and space D.
