Referring to Fig. 1, its schematic diagram for an embodiment of touch panel of the present invention.Touch panel 100 may include (but not Be limited to) a touch-control sensing array (touch sensor array) 110, N control line CL1~CLN, M group sense wire { SL1 }~ { SLM }, a control circuit 120 and a sensing circuit 130, wherein M and N is the positive integer greater than 1.In this embodiment, Touch-control sensing array 110 may include the multiple sensor S1,1~SM for being arranged as M column and N row, N (such as multiple capacitance touching controls Sensor), and can be used to detect the touch event TE on touch panel 100.N control line CL1~CLN is respectively coupled to touching N row sensor (N columns of sensors) among control sensing array 110, wherein being located at the M sensor with a line It is coupled to same control line.Also that is, multiple sensor S1,1, S2,1 ..., SM, 1 is coupled to control line CL1, multiple senses Survey device S1,2, S2,2 ..., SM, 2 are coupled to control line CL2, and so on.In addition, M group sense wire { SL1 }~{ SLM } points The M column sensor (M rows of sensors) not being coupled among touch-control sensing array 110, wherein being located at the N number of of same row Sensor is coupled to same group of sense wire.Also that is, multiple sensor S1,1, S1,2 ..., S1, N is coupled to one group of sense wire { SL1 }, multiple sensor S2,1, S2,2 ..., S2, N is coupled to one group of sense wire { SL2 }, and so on.
Control circuit 120 is coupled to N control line CL1~CLN, and can be made by N control line CL1~CLN of driving Energy/enabling (enable/activate) the N row sensor detects touch event TE.In this embodiment, control circuit 120 can N control line CL1~CLN is alternately driven, enable/to enable N row sensor detection touch event TE in turn, wherein each Sensor can detect touch event TE when enabled/enabling and generate a sensing result accordingly, and control circuit 120 once can be same When driving P control line (P is to be less than the positive integer of N greater than 1) so as to have P sensor simultaneously among each column sensor It is enabled.
It can be via each column sensor institute next, being coupled to M group sense wire { SL1 }~{ SLM } sensing circuit 130 One group of sense wire of coupling, receives among the column sensor while the P sensor being enabled is produced in response to touch event TE Raw P sensing result (also that is, sensing result caused by detection touch event TE), and according to the P sensing result come Generate a sensing output corresponding to the column sensor.For example, sensing circuit 130 P sensing result can be added (or Other calculation process, such as ranking operation are carried out to the P sensing result), and sensing output is generated accordingly.
In this embodiment, sensing circuit 130 can receive corresponding P sensing result via this group of sense wire { SL1 } (being indicated with one group of sensing result { SR1 }), and a sensing output SO1 is generated accordingly;Sensing circuit 130 can be sensed via the group Line { SL2 } receives corresponding P sensing result (indicating with one group of sensing result { SR2 }), and accordingly generate one sense it is defeated SO2 out;And so on.After generating M sensing output SO1~SOM, sensing circuit 130 can be exported according to M sensing SO1~SOM identifies touch event TE the touch position of touch-control object (such as determine).
In some embodiments, the P control line that control circuit 120 drives simultaneously can be adjacent to each other.For example (however, the present invention is not limited thereto), control circuit 120 can drive in turn N control line CL1~CLN according to driving sequence, In in an at least drive cycle among the driving sequence, control circuit 120 can once drive adjacent to each other two simultaneously Control line (P=2), and then two row sensors adjacent to each other are enabled simultaneously.It can be pressed according to driving sequence in control circuit 120 Sequence drive multiple control line CL1 and CL2, multiple control lines CL2 and CL3 ..., multiple control line CLN-1 and CLN and In an implementation example of multiple control lines CLN and CL1, for comprising multiple sensor S1,1, S1,2 ..., S1, a column of N For sensor, multiple sensor S1,1 and S1,2 can be activated/enable in one first drive cycle, multiple sensor S1, and 2 It can be activated/enable in one second drive cycle adjacent to first drive cycle with S1,3, and so on.
