Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.
In the related art, when pressure touch is implemented, two ways are usually used, one way is to include a two-layer structure inside a touch screen, namely, two layers of ITO are respectively arranged on two sides of a liquid crystal box, and one layer of ITO is also manufactured on a CF side to serve as a sensing unit for deformation during pressure touch sensing. The other is that a backplate is separately arranged below the backlight layer of the module, a pressure touch sensing capacitive sensing unit is arranged on the backplate, and when the touch screen is deformed, the magnitude of touch pressure can be detected by detecting the change of the capacitance value of the backplate. However, in the related art, in both of the above two methods, an additional physical layer or an ITO sensing layer is required to obtain the touch pressure, so that the manufacturing cost of the touch screen is high.
The touch method, the touch device and the touch equipment provided by the embodiment of the disclosure aim to solve the technical problem that the manufacturing cost of the touch screen in the related art is high, and a specific implementation manner is shown in the following embodiments.
The touch method, the touch device and the touch equipment provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a touch method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, the touch method according to the present embodiment is applied to a terminal device, which is a device having a touch panel, such as a mobile phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a notebook computer, and the like, wherein the touch panel includes a first touch electrode layer (Vcom). The touch control method comprises the following steps.
In step S11, it is detected whether there is a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer.
In step S12, if a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer is detected, acquiring a voltage rise time corresponding to the touch operation; the voltage rise time is a time for the voltage of the first touch electrode layer to change from the reference voltage to a preset voltage.
In step S13, a touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time is determined according to a mapping relationship between a preset voltage rise time and the touch pressure.
In step S14, a corresponding control operation is performed according to the determined touch pressure.
In the related art, when the pressure touch detection is implemented, a back plate needs to be separately arranged below a backlight layer of a Module, a sensing circuit is arranged on the back plate, and when a touch screen deforms, a terminal device can determine the magnitude of touch pressure by detecting the change of capacitance value of the back plate.
In view of this problem, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, for a terminal device having a touch panel, a touch pressure may be determined by acquiring a voltage rise time corresponding to a touch operation of a user on a first touch electrode layer. In a specific implementation process, when a user performs a touch operation on a first touch electrode layer in a touch panel of a terminal device, a voltage of the first touch electrode layer will change. When the terminal device detects that the user has touch operation on the first touch electrode layer, the voltage rise time corresponding to the touch operation is obtained. The voltage rise time is a time when the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changes from a reference voltage to a preset voltage, and the preset voltage is generally a highest voltage. For example, if the reference voltage is 0V and the preset voltage is 5V, when the terminal device detects that the user performs a touch operation on the touch panel, the terminal device will obtain a time when the voltage of the first touch electrode layer rises from 0V to 5V. Optionally, in order to improve the accuracy of obtaining the voltage rise time, an interval from the reference voltage to the preset voltage may be set, and the rise time of the voltage value of the first touch electrode layer from 5% to 95% or from 10% to 90% may be collected as the voltage rise time. For example: if the reference voltage is 0V and the preset voltage is 5V, the time when the voltage of the first touch electrode layer rises from 0V to 4.75V or from 0V to 4.5V may be collected. In addition, the reference voltage and the preset voltage may be selected according to actual situations, and specific values of the reference voltage and the preset voltage are not particularly limited herein.
After the voltage rise time corresponding to the touch operation is obtained, the touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time is obtained according to the mapping relation between the voltage rise time and the touch pressure stored in the database. Generally, the voltage rise time is shorter as the touch pressure is larger, and fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the voltage rise time under different touch pressures, in fig. 2, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents voltage, when the touch pressure is smaller, the time for the voltage of the first touch electrode layer to change from the reference voltage to the preset voltage is longer, as shown by a line 1 in fig. 2, and when the touch pressure is larger, the time for the voltage of the first touch electrode layer to change from the reference voltage to the preset voltage is shorter, as shown by a line 2 in fig. 2.
After determining the touch pressure, the terminal device executes a corresponding control operation according to the determined touch pressure, specifically, if the touch pressures are different, the terminal device executes a non-executable control operation, for example: if the touch pressure of a certain icon on the user touch interface is low, an operation of opening an application program corresponding to the icon may be executed, and if the touch pressure of a certain icon on the user touch interface is high, an operation of deleting an application program corresponding to the icon may be executed.
In addition, the terminal device may determine whether the user performs a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer according to the value of the voltage on the first touch electrode layer, and if the value of the voltage on the first touch electrode layer changes, it may be determined that the user may perform a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer.
In the touch method of this embodiment, when a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer is detected, a voltage rise time corresponding to the touch operation is obtained, where the voltage rise time is a time when the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changes from a reference voltage to a preset voltage, a touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time is determined according to a mapping relationship between the preset voltage rise time and the touch pressure, and a corresponding control operation is executed according to the determined touch pressure. On the basis of not additionally adding a physical layer or an ITO sensing layer, the size of the touch pressure can be determined only by acquiring the time of the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changing from the reference voltage to the preset voltage, so that the cost of the touch panel can be reduced, and the sensitivity and the accuracy of touch pressure acquisition can be improved.
Optionally, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, before determining the touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time according to a preset mapping relationship between the voltage rise time and the touch pressure, the method further includes establishing a mapping relationship between the voltage rise time and the touch pressure.
Specifically, data comparison and correction can be performed on each batch of touch panels, and the mapping relationship between the voltage rise time and the touch pressure is stored in the database through multiple tests. In a specific implementation process, when the touch pressures are respectively in the magnitudes of 0, 100g, 200g, 300g … …, the corresponding voltage rise times may be stored in the database. Of course, the voltage rise times corresponding to the magnitudes of 0, 1g, 2g, and 3g … … may be stored, or the voltage rise times corresponding to the respective touch pressures may be stored in the database in steps of 50 g. After the mapping relationship between the voltage rise time and the touch pressure is established, the touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time can be acquired according to the acquired voltage rise time.
In the method for obtaining touch pressure according to this embodiment, when a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer is detected, a voltage rise time corresponding to the touch operation is obtained, where the voltage rise time is a time when the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changes from a reference voltage to a preset voltage, and then the touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time is determined according to a mapping relationship between the preset voltage rise time and the touch pressure, and a corresponding control operation is executed according to the determined touch pressure. On the basis of not additionally adding a physical layer or an ITO sensing layer, the size of the touch pressure can be determined only by acquiring the time of the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changing from the reference voltage to the preset voltage, so that the cost of the touch panel can be reduced, and the sensitivity and the accuracy of touch pressure acquisition can be improved. In addition, by establishing a mapping relation between the voltage rise time and the touch pressure, the efficiency of acquiring the touch pressure can be improved.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a touch method according to another exemplary embodiment, where the method is used in a terminal device, and the present embodiment describes in detail how to obtain an embodiment of a voltage rise time corresponding to a touch operation based on the embodiment illustrated in fig. 1, and as illustrated in fig. 3, the touch method includes the following steps:
in step S31, it is detected whether there is a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer.
In step S32, if a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer is detected, an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is used to acquire a voltage value corresponding to the touch operation.
In this embodiment, the ADC is electrically connected to the first touch electrode layer, and when the terminal device detects that a user performs a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer in the touch panel, after measurement and correction, the ADC obtains a voltage value corresponding to the touch operation according to a waveform of the acquired voltage of the first touch electrode layer.
In step S33, a voltage rise time is acquired from the voltage value.
In this embodiment, after the voltage value corresponding to the touch operation is collected, the time for the voltage of the first touch electrode layer of the touch panel to rise from the reference voltage to the preset voltage can be known. The touch pressures are different, and the corresponding voltage rise times are also different, for example, the larger the touch pressure is, the shorter the corresponding voltage rise time is, and the smaller the touch pressure is, the longer the corresponding voltage rise time is.
In step S34, a touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time is determined according to a mapping relationship between a preset voltage rise time and the touch pressure.
In step S35, a corresponding control operation is performed according to the determined touch pressure.
In the method for obtaining touch pressure according to this embodiment, when a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer is detected, a voltage rise time corresponding to the touch operation is obtained, where the voltage rise time is a time when the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changes from a reference voltage to a preset voltage, and then the touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time is determined according to a mapping relationship between the preset voltage rise time and the touch pressure, and a corresponding control operation is executed according to the determined touch pressure. On the basis of not additionally adding a physical layer or an ITO sensing layer, the size of the touch pressure can be determined only by acquiring the time of the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changing from the reference voltage to the preset voltage, so that the cost of the touch panel can be reduced, and the sensitivity and the accuracy of touch pressure acquisition can be improved. In addition, the voltage value corresponding to the touch operation is acquired through the ADC to acquire the voltage rise time, so that the acquisition process of the voltage rise time is simpler and more convenient.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the touch panel further includes a second touch electrode layer, wherein the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer are connected by an anisotropic conductive adhesive.
Specifically, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a stacking structure of a touch panel, and as shown in fig. 4, the touch panel of the terminal device in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes six layers, which are, in order from top to bottom: the touch panel comprises a CF layer, a liquid crystal layer, a first touch electrode layer, anisotropic conductive adhesive, a second touch electrode layer and a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) array, wherein the anisotropic conductive Film has conductivity in the Film thickness direction, has insulation in the Film surface direction, increases the conductivity when being squeezed and becomes non-conductive when the squeezing action disappears, so that the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer are conducted when a user touches the touch panel. In addition, the first touch electrode layer is located above the anisotropic conductive adhesive, the second touch electrode layer is located below the anisotropic conductive adhesive, in practical application, the anisotropic conductive adhesive is introduced into the touch panel structure, taking an FIC touch manner as an example, a layer of the anisotropic conductive adhesive is laid on the second touch electrode layer sensor, the anisotropic conductive adhesive is conductive in the thickness direction, the second touch electrode layer is sputtered on the other side of the anisotropic conductive adhesive, and the layer of the electrodes can be a whole.
In addition, after the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer are connected through the anisotropic conductive film, the first touch electrode layer close to the CF may be selected as a touch sensing layer, and the second touch electrode layer close to the backlight may be selected as a pressure touch sensing layer, wherein the sensing structure of the second touch electrode layer may be the same as the first touch electrode layer or may be a single integrated sensing unit, and is led to an Integrated Circuit (IC) through a touch panel, that is, in the second touch electrode layer, the front ITO may be used as one sensing layer, or the touch electrode layer may be divided into structures corresponding to the sensing structure of the first touch electrode layer.
In addition, the second touch electrode layer may be selected not to be divided by the sensor (sensor), and a small voltage difference may be set between the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer, for example, the voltage of the second touch electrode layer is slightly larger, when there is a touch pressure, the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer will be turned on, at this time, the time for the voltage of the first touch electrode layer to change from the reference voltage to the preset voltage is obviously different along with the difference of the touch pressure, so that the sensitivity and accuracy of obtaining the touch pressure may be improved.
In practical application, signals sent to the touch sensing layer and the pressure touch sensing layer by a processor of the terminal device are modulation signals with the same frequency, and only the voltage value of the two signals is different. When detecting whether touch operation exists on the touch panel or detecting touch pressure, the processor only collects signals serving as touch sensing layers and serves as feedback signals for touch control and pressure touch control, and therefore whether touch operation exists on the touch panel or touch pressure is detected.
Next, a detailed description will be given of a specific structure of the touch panel including the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a touch panel, and fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another touch panel. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the touch panel may be used in a display device (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart television, etc.), including: a first substrate 11 and a second substrate 12, and a liquid crystal layer 13 disposed between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12.
In one possible embodiment, for example, as shown in fig. 3, the first substrate 11 may be an array substrate, and the second substrate 12 may be a color filter substrate.
In another possible embodiment, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the first substrate 11 may be a color filter substrate, and the second substrate 12 may be an array substrate.
The array substrate comprises a first substrate, a gate insulating layer arranged on one side of the first substrate, and a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) arranged on one side, far away from the substrate, of the gate insulating layer. The touch panel is further provided with a passivation layer on one side of the thin film transistor, which is far away from the gate insulating layer, and a pixel electrode 17 on one side of the passivation layer, which is far away from the thin film transistor.
The color film substrate comprises a second substrate, a black matrix arranged on one side of the second substrate, and a color resistance layer arranged between the color film substrate and the matrix, for example, the color film substrate comprises a red color resistance layer, a green color group layer and a blue color resistance layer.
In one embodiment, for example, as shown In fig. 3, the touch panel may be an ADS (Advanced Super dimension Switching) or IPS (In-Plane Switching) structure, and the pixel electrode and the common electrode for driving liquid crystal to deflect are located on the same side of the liquid crystal layer, where the pixel electrode and the common electrode may be planar electrodes or strip electrodes, and may be specifically selected according to needs.
In one embodiment, such as shown in fig. 4, the touch panel may be a TN (Twisted Nematic) structure, and the pixel electrodes and the common electrodes for driving the liquid crystal to deflect are located on different sides of the liquid crystal layer.
The anisotropic conductive adhesive 15 is disposed on a side of the first touch electrode layer 14 close to the liquid crystal layer 13, a conductive direction is perpendicular to the first touch electrode layer 14 (i.e., the conductive direction is along a thickness direction), and the conductivity increases with an increase of the touch pressure.
And the second touch electrode layer 16 is arranged on one side of the anisotropic conductive adhesive 15 close to the liquid crystal layer 13.
In one embodiment, the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer may be made of a transparent conductive material, such as ITO (indium tin oxide).
In one embodiment, the structures of the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer may be the same or different. For example, the first touch electrode may include a plurality of sub-electrodes forming an 18 by 30 matrix, and the second touch electrode may be configured as an 18 by 30 matrix or a planar electrode.
In one embodiment, since the conductivity of the anisotropic conductive adhesive increases with the increase of the touch pressure, and the anisotropic conductive adhesive is located between the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer, the greater the pressure makes the conductivity of the anisotropic conductive adhesive greater, and the charges of the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer tend to be the same.
And a processing unit (not shown in the figure), connected to the first touch electrode layer 14 and/or the second touch electrode layer 16, configured to determine a touch pressure applied to the touch panel according to a first voltage of the first touch electrode layer 14 and/or a second voltage of the second touch electrode layer 16.
In one embodiment, the driving integrated circuit for transmitting the electrical signal to the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer, and the processing unit for determining the pressure may be the same processor or different processors.
In one embodiment, since only one layer of anisotropic conductive adhesive is separated between the first touch electrode layer and the second touch electrode layer, the mutual inductance between the two layers of electrodes is stronger than that of the related art structure, so that more charges can be stored in the two electrode layers, and further, when pressure is applied, the amount of change of the charges is larger than that of the related art structure, so that the first voltage and the second voltage are also changed more accordingly.
For example, in the related art structure, in the case of a pressure change of 0.1N, a voltage change of 0.0001V is difficult to acquire and accurately identify due to an excessively small voltage change, which easily results in erroneous calculation of the pressure. According to the embodiment, under the condition that the pressure changes by 0.1N, the voltage can change by 0.01V, and larger voltage change quantity is easier to collect and identify, so that the touch pressure is determined, and the accuracy of determining the touch pressure can be improved.
In the method for obtaining touch pressure according to this embodiment, when a touch operation on the first touch electrode layer is detected, a voltage rise time corresponding to the touch operation is obtained, where the voltage rise time is a time when the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changes from a reference voltage to a preset voltage, and then the touch pressure corresponding to the voltage rise time is determined according to a mapping relationship between the preset voltage rise time and the touch pressure, and a corresponding control operation is executed according to the determined touch pressure. On the basis of not additionally adding a physical layer or an ITO sensing layer, the size of the touch pressure can be determined only by acquiring the time of the voltage of the first touch electrode layer changing from the reference voltage to the preset voltage, so that the cost of the touch panel can be reduced, and the sensitivity and the accuracy of touch pressure acquisition can be improved. In addition, the second touch electrode layer connected with the first touch electrode layer through the anisotropic conductive adhesive is added in the touch panel, so that the time for changing the voltage of the first touch electrode layer from the reference voltage to the preset voltage is obviously different along with the difference of the touch pressure, and the sensitivity and the accuracy of obtaining the touch pressure can be improved.
