For the ease of showing, in Fig. 3, only shown the signal by the upper right corner (" UR ") transmitter 310A transmitting.Transmitter 310A comprises LED in this embodiment, thereby use, with the specific warbled light signal of transmitter 310A, provides light. Other transmitters 310B, 310C and 310D corresponding to the lower right corner (LR), the lower left corner (LL) and position, the upper left corner (UL) will similarly play a role, but have each other different modulation waveforms or phase.Photoconduction 303 is on the whole area of photoconduction 303 and to leave photoconduction 303 and the distribution from the light signal of transmitter 310A – 310D is provided towards user's direction.Transmitter (if being incorporated into for example backlight scheme of LCD display) be usually located at display after (from being positioned at the user's in display the place ahead angle), therefore and each pixel by described display provides light.Yet, can adopt other configurations.For example, transmitter is not in addition for above-described embodiment B and the C of back illumination therein, and the top (being user's side) that the independent substrate of the signal that reception is provided by transmitter can be positioned at display is as digitizer covering assemblies.
Show from the optical alignment signal 320 of transmitter 310A transmitting.From the signal of other transmitters transmitting, can there is the light that different wavelength or they can (and conventionally will) have identical wavelength (color), but they can have uniqueness modulation waveform.
Fig. 4 is the accompanying drawing of backlight 301 of four optical signalling transmitters with each angle of next-door neighbour's rectangular display.It and backlight 300(Fig. 3) similar, but also comprise the displaying to each relevant optical alignment signal of transmitter 310A-310D.Fig. 4 has shown the some A mentioning with respect to subsequent drawings and has put B.
Fig. 5 a is the coordinate diagram that the light signal being provided by transmitter 310A-310D has been provided.Transmitter UL (310D) is shown as has the first waveform modulated; Transmitter UR (310A) is shown as has the second waveform modulated; Transmitter LL (310C) is shown as has the 3rd waveform modulated; And transmitter LR (310B) is shown as and has the 4th waveform modulated.Four clock period in the sync period of all four transmitters between t6 and t10 are out.It is provided for measuring the reference level of light ratio example, and synchronizing signal is provided, and the stylus taking off can be used as time reference to determine the time of each light source luminescent by this synchronizing signal.In a kind of situation relevant to an A, and in the another kind of situation relevant to a B, in the summary view of each time four kinds of waveforms, in the bottom of coordinate diagram, illustrate.Optical sensor (as in optics stylus) is by with the corresponding ratio in the position on display and detect the summation by the signal of four transmitters transmitting with optical sensor.For example, be positioned at an A(with reference to Fig. 4) optical sensor by the light detecting from the equivalent of each transmitter.But the sensor that is positioned at a B will detect more light from light source UR, is then LR, UL and LL.The relative amplitude (changing along with the degree of closeness of they and specific emitter) that this phenomenon means signal that can be based on received by ratio approach for determining the position of optical sensor.
For example, with reference to Fig. 5 a, signal B(is corresponding to the light recording at a B) be constant and maximum the sync period from t6 to t10, then four transmitter UL, UR, LL are then LR interruption pulses in order between time t10 and time t17.Along with the pulse-break of each transmitter, the light receiving at a B exists and weakens accordingly.In Fig. 5, the variation of light is by pulse P uL, P uR, P lLand P lRamplitude indication.
In each case, pulse-response amplitude is (with P sYNCthere is deviation in level) proportional with the Relative Contribution from the light of each transmitter, the relative distance of described Relative Contribution and each transmitter is inversely proportional to.
Signal A(is corresponding to the light recording at an A) shown four pulses between t10 and t17, and the amplitude of all pulses all equates.This expression receives equal light from four transmitters, then shows again that then an A and transmitter UL, UR, LL are that LR is equidistant.
White light LEDs can be used as transmitter 310A-310D.In view of in the modulation shown in Fig. 5 a, LED has 91% dutycycle, thereby they contribute to by for example user's visible ray of LCD transmitting, and the optical alignment signal of position that is provided for determining the stylus of proximity displays.Infrared light (IR) LED also can or instead be used as transmitter 310A-310D, and they can be preferred in embodiment A, B and C.The infrared transmitter using together with embodiment A can have the wavelength that is greater than 900nM in certain embodiments.The light of longer wavelength penetrates the display pixel in the LCD of "On" state or "Off" state, thereby can be relatively independent of the image measurement positioning signal being presented on LCD.For example, the LED of transmitting 950nM infrared light can easily obtain.
Using the LED of transmitting invisible light to generate in the embodiment of position uniqueness signal, the dutycycle of LED will preferably reduce to save energy, but this type of infrared light LED is by user's visible ray that can not contribute to from display emission.Fig. 5 b has shown coordinate diagram, shows the representative signal from this type of embodiment.Fig. 5 b is similar to 5a, and it is 10% or less that the dutycycle of different is transmitter UL, UR, LL and LR is put upside down, rather than 91%.
Except the surface with respect to separate unit display, locate stylus, the variation of the pulse code of Fig. 5 A can be used for display to be distinguished from each other.For example, in having the system of two or more displays, which display stylus can detect in its visual field, and the communication from stylus to its host computer system comprises display ID and corresponding multi-display coordinate.Other functions can comprise that restriction stylus does not move with a display together with another display.
Can make in many ways the pulse code of many displays relative to each other for unique.For example, the backlight of a display can be used IR pulse as shown in Figure 5A, and the backlight of another display is launched identical waveform, but in different fundamental frequencies (different from the time cycle of the circulation of t6 to t17).Another display can be by only changing synchronizing pulse P sYNCtime cycle (from t6 to t10) and there are differences.Another display can be by changing pulse P uL, P uR, P lLand P lRwaveform and there are differences pulse P for example uL, P uR, P lLand P lReach can comprise two pulses rather than one, as shown in the UL waveform at Fig. 6, or three pulses rather than one, as shown in the LL waveform at Fig. 6.Can be individually or use in combination other wave form varies to generate display uniqueness light signal.
Fig. 6 has shown coordinate diagram, shows the representative signal from another alternative embodiment.Be not to have out of phase same waveform, equidistant emitter pulse, the pulse shown in Fig. 6 has different waveforms, and this will contribute to distinguish every part of the signal that the optical sensor that is which emitter contributions receives.
Should recognize, the optical alignment signal that is expressed as the waveform in Fig. 5 A and 5B and Fig. 6 can multiple combination be used, and arbitrary signal can be used with together with the light source of any wavelength.In addition, also can use other modulator approaches, comprise Modulation and Amplitude Modulation, frequency or mutually modulation, pulse code variation or there is fixed frequency and the sine wave of amplitude or different frequency and/or amplitude, and from the variation of the light wavelength of different transmitters transmittings.Due to modulating frequency or due to modulation light wavelength, the modulation signal being provided by transmitter preferably human eye discover less than or almost discover less than.
Fig. 7 is the accompanying drawing of backlight 30, and this backlight comprises along ten optical signalling transmitters of the top of photoconduction 41 and bottom margin location.This is the simplicity of illustration of LCD backlight: in implementation process, LCD backlight can have more this type of transmitter.Yet this basic layout is typically to use the backlight of LED side light.For schematic object, show the wire harness representing from the light of transmitter.When optical signalling transmitter 31-40 can in from transmitter, the light of at least some be different from other and be modulated for locating stylus.For example, transmitter 31-40 can all launch identical color and mean flow rate to carry out their corresponding backlighting functions, but in addition they can be modulated by producing the signal of optical alignment signal, described optical alignment signal provides the position uniqueness signal can any location sensing on display arriving.In one embodiment, each of transmitter 31-40 can be modulated its corresponding optical alignment signal uniquely.Alternatively, some of transmitter can be modulated in the same manner with other, and precondition is that the summation at the signal of lip-deep each position of backlight 30 comprises the unique combinations from ten transmitter 31-40.In addition, transmitter 31 and 40 minimum levels ground are overlapping, make them can launch the light of modulating in the same manner.Transmitter 35 and 36 also can be launched the light of modulating in the same manner because their optical alignment signal can with the optical alignment signal combination from other transmitters, making total utilizing emitted light of any set point on backlight 30 will be unique.
