Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the schematic diagram of the drive unit of the embedded touch screen 100 of the embodiment of the present invention.In this manual, embedded touch screen refers to that sensing electrode layer is located at the electronic console in Liquid Crystal Module.In order to easily understand the present embodiment, Fig. 1 only shows the touch-control part of embedded touch screen 100.According to one of feature of the present embodiment, use common voltage (common-voltage) electrode base board of Liquid Crystal Module as transmission (TX) electrode base board 11, on it, patterning has multiple parallel TX electrode wires 111.Although Fig. 1 with the TX electrode wires 111 of rectilinear form illustratively, but TX electrode wires 111 also can be other shape, such as rhombus.The present embodiment also comprises reception (RX) electrode base board 12, and on it, patterning has multiple parallel RX electrode wires 121.Although Fig. 1 with the RX electrode wires 121 of rectilinear form illustratively, but RX electrode wires 121 also can be other shape, such as rhombus.TX electrode wires 111 perpendicular to RX electrode wires 121, but can be not limited to this.
As shown in Figure 1, TX electrode wires 111 receives the TX drive singal that TX driver element 13 sends respectively.RX detecting unit 14 receives RX detection signal respectively from RX electrode wires 121.RX detection signal by electric capacity between TX electrode wires 111 and RX electrode wires 121 respond to and obtain, and the finger touching that this electric capacity can be subject on RX electrode base board 12 affected.By this, the affected RX detection signal of electric capacity, together with driven TX electrode wires, can be used to determine touch position.
According to another feature of the present embodiment, improve the voltage amplitude of TX drive singal but do not worsen the leakage current of thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT) the unit structure cell of the display section of embedded touch screen 100.Fig. 2 A shows the schematic diagram of film crystal pipe unit structure cell 200, and its grid is coupled to sweep trace, and drain electrode is coupled to data line, and source electrode is coupled to common electrode Vcom via electric capacity C.Fig. 2 B illustrates drain-source electrode current Ids and corresponding grid-source voltage Vgs.Fig. 2 B also shows common voltage Vcom simultaneously.It should be noted that to strengthen the touch-control susceptibility of Touch Screen (particularly embedded touch screen), then leakage current also can and then increase, and thus reduces display quality if increase the voltage amplitude (if icon is toward moving left) of Vcom.
In the present embodiment, the voltage amplitude of TX drive singal considers the leakage current of film crystal pipe unit structure cell.As shown in Figure 3, voltage amplitude extends negative voltage Vncom for (just) common voltage Vcom adds, wherein extends negative voltage Vncom as illustrated extension of turning right.In other words, the voltage amplitude of the TX drive singal of the present embodiment be following two quantity and: the size of common voltage Vcom (that is | Vcom|), it is relevant to the common voltage electrode base board of Liquid Crystal Module; Extend the size (that is | Vncom|) of negative voltage Vncom.Therefore, the voltage amplitude of TX drive singal is greater than the size (that is | Vcom|) of common voltage Vcom.As illustrated in fig. 3, the scope of TX drive singal is from the Vgs of+5V(corresponding to-15V) to the Vgs of-5V(corresponding to-5V).By this, the voltage amplitude of TX drive singal is 5V | Vcom| adds 5V | and Vncom|, that is the voltage amplitude of 10V.Fig. 4 illustrates the waveform of TX drive singal, its scope from+| Vcom| to-| Vncom|.With rectangular wave illustratively, but also can use other signal waveform (such as string ripple) although.
The TX drive singal of the present embodiment can use various circuit design techniques to produce.As shown in Figure 5, by the first interrupteur SW 1 be coupled to alternately respectively with second switch SW2+| Vcom| with-| Vncom| and obtain TX drive singal, this first interrupteur SW 1 is controlled by switch-over control signal Φ and anti-phase switch-over control signal respectively with second switch SW2 .In addition ,+| Vcom| with-| Vncom| can use voltage more by a small margin and obtain by pump circuit (pump circuit).
According to above-described embodiment, the voltage amplitude of TX drive singal effectively can improve but can not affect the leakage current of the film crystal pipe unit structure cell of the display section of embedded touch screen 100.Therefore, the touch-control susceptibility of embedded touch screen 100 effectively can strengthen and can maintain the display quality of embedded touch screen 100 simultaneously.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and be not used to the scope limiting claim of the present invention; Under all other does not depart from the spirit that invention discloses, the equivalence that completes changes or modifies, and all should be included in the scope of following claim.
