Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application. The described features, structures, or characteristics of the application may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the application. It will be appreciated, however, by one skilled in the art that the inventive aspects may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other structures, components, etc. In other instances, well-known structures or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the application.

Currently, capacitive touch technologies are classified into surface capacitive type and projected capacitive type, and the projected capacitive type is classified into two implementation modes of self-capacitance type and mutual capacitance type (Mutual Capacitance) according to a detection method. An electrode array which is transversely and longitudinally staggered is manufactured on the surface of the glass substrate by using a transparent conductive material, and the transverse electrode and the longitudinal electrode respectively form a capacitor with the ground. This capacitance is known as self-capacitance, i.e. the capacitance of the electrode to ground. A display panel with touch detection function is also called a PMOLED display device, or a touch screen.

For the self-capacitance type PMOLED display device, when a human body does not touch a touch detection area of the panel, the capacitance born by each capacitance electrode is a fixed value, when the human body touches the screen, the capacitance born by the corresponding self-capacitance electrode is a fixed value, the human body capacitance is overlapped, and the touch position can be judged by detecting the capacitance value change of each capacitance electrode. The basic principle is a charge-discharge circuit which is charged and discharged continuously. When a finger or other object touches the panel area, the self-capacitance of the electrode corresponding to the touch area is changed, so that charge and discharge charges are changed, and the output voltage corresponding to the amplifier is also changed. The touch detection function is realized by calculating the change of charge and discharge charge or output voltage.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a PMOLED display device includes a PMOLED touch display panel including a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer disposed opposite the first electrode layer, and a light emitting layer disposed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. The first electrode layer includes a plurality of first electrodes extending in a first direction, and the second electrode layer includes a plurality of second electrodes extending in a second direction. The first electrode layer may further be provided with a glass cover plate or glass substrate for protection.

In this embodiment, the first electrode and the second electrode are stripe electrodes, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. The light-emitting layer is an organic electroluminescent layer (electroluminescent layer, EL layer) that emits light when a current is passed through the light-emitting layer. Each overlapping of the first and second electrodes may be regarded as a pixel, and by supplying a current to the first and second electrodes, a current may be caused to flow through the first and second electrodes to address and activate the pixel. The PMOLED display device can excite the light-emitting layer at different positions, so that the light-emitting layer emits light or does not emit light at pixels at different positions.

In this embodiment, the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer may be made of a material having good conductivity and light transmittance, for example, a transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (Indium Tin Oxides, ITO). The first electrode layer and the second electrode layer may also have a multilayer structure such as a composite layer of ITO/Ag/ITO. Of course, in other modified embodiments of the present invention, the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer may also be made of opaque conductive materials, which is not limited by the present invention.

In this embodiment, the first electrode may be an anode, the second electrode may be a cathode, the light emitting layer may be an OLED light emitting layer, and the PMOLED display device may be a PMOLED display device with a touch control function. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the invention, the PMOLED display device may be any LED-based display panel implemented by any organic or inorganic electroluminescent material.

The PMOLED Touch display panel is connected with a display driving chip and a Touch detection chip, wherein the display driving chip and the Touch detection chip can be independent two chips or integrated in one chip, for example, integrated into one chip through Touch AND DISPLAY DRIVER Integration (TDDI) technology of Touch control and display driver. The display driving chip and the touch detection chip may be sometimes referred to as a display driving circuit and a touch detection circuit.

The display driving circuit includes a scan driving circuit for scanning the plurality of second electrodes line by line, and a data driving circuit for simultaneously supplying a current required for light emission to the plurality of first electrodes. In a frame image display time, only one of the plurality of second electrodes is short-circuited to the ground terminal at the same time, and the other second electrodes are disconnected from the ground terminal and supplied with a high-level common voltage (Vcom); the plurality of first electrodes are simultaneously supplied with current such that the current flows through the first electrodes and the grounded second electrodes, whereby the light emitting layer is capable of emitting light at the pixel point corresponding to the grounded first electrodes. And repeating the process on the second electrodes one by one until all the second electrodes are scanned, and completing the display of one frame of picture. For example, but not limited to, the PMOLED touch display panel has a refresh rate of 100Hz, then each frame of picture should complete the scan of the second electrode within 10 ms. The first electrode may also be referred to as a column electrode or SEG electrode, the second electrode may also be referred to as a row electrode or COM electrode, the scan driving circuit may also be referred to as a row driving circuit, and the data driving circuit may also be referred to as a column driving circuit. In some variations of the invention, the first electrode COM electrode and the second electrode are SEG electrodes. The ground terminal may be a ground terminal, a device ground terminal, or other ground terminal defined according to need, which is to be understood in a broad sense in the present invention, and is not particularly limited.

In this embodiment, in order to implement the touch detection function, the first electrode of the PMOLED touch display panel may be multiplexed as a touch detection electrode, and a touch detection circuit connected to the first electrode detects a change in self capacitance of the first electrode, so that a position where an external object (for example, a finger) touches on the PMOLED display device can be detected, thereby implementing touch detection. In the touch detection, if a user's finger touches the glass cover plate adjacent to the first electrode, parasitic capacitance is formed between the finger and the first electrode due to the electrification of the human body, and the self-capacitance of the first electrode corresponding to the finger touch range increases. The self-capacitance change causes a change in charge and discharge of the touch detection circuit, and the processor can calculate the self-capacitance size according to the charge and discharge amount or calculate the self-capacitance size according to the pulse voltage value. The touch detection circuit can determine the first electrode with the corresponding self-capacitance changed by detecting the voltage change value of the pulse signal or the charge-discharge charge change amount on the first electrode, so that the touch position can be determined. That is, the position or coordinates of the touch position of the finger in the direction intersecting the extending direction of the first electrode can be confirmed by the first electrode.

Of course, in a modified embodiment of the present invention, the second electrode may be multiplexed as the touch detection electrode.

In order to confirm the position of the finger touch position in the extending direction of the first electrode during touch detection, the PMOLED touch display panel may further include a plurality of positioning detection electrodes, which are stripe-shaped electrodes having an extending direction that is not identical to the extending direction of the first electrode. Such as, but not limited to: the extending direction of the positioning detection electrode is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first electrode. Since the extending direction of the first electrode is the first direction, the extending direction of the second electrode is the second direction, and when the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the extending direction of the positioning detection electrode is consistent with the second direction. The positioning detection electrode is used only for touch detection and not for display driving, and can be used for detecting the position of the touch position of the finger on the glass cover plate in the extending direction of the first electrode. The positioning detection electrode is connected with the touch detection circuit, and can be connected with the scanning driving circuit or not connected with the scanning driving circuit. The positioning detection electrode can be arranged on the same layer as the first electrode layer, or arranged on the first electrode layer through an insulating layer, or arranged on the same layer as the second electrode layer. The two positioning detection electrodes may be arranged on the same layer or on different layers.

The first electrodes and the second electrodes overlap to form a grid distribution, and the overlapping position of the first electrodes and the second electrodes can be regarded as a pixel point, and the pixel points form a display area of the PMOLED display device, so that the first electrodes and the second electrodes together form the display area of the PMOLED display device. Meanwhile, the first electrode is also multiplexed as a touch detection electrode during touch detection, so the plurality of first electrodes and the positioning detection electrode jointly form a touch detection area of the PMOLED display device.

In this embodiment, the plurality of positioning detection electrodes includes a first positioning detection electrode and a second positioning detection electrode that are disposed on both sides of the first electrode layer perpendicular to the first electrode. The first positioning detection electrode and the second positioning detection electrode are intersected with the first electrode or an extension line of the first electrode, and the extension line of the first electrode comprises an extension line of the first electrode along the extension direction or an extension line along the opposite direction of the extension direction.

In this embodiment, the touch detection and display driving are performed in a time-sharing manner, that is: at one moment, the PMOLED touch display panel is either in a display stage or in a touch detection stage, without simultaneously performing display driving and touch detection. For example, the touch detection circuit detects a change in self capacitance of the first electrode after the image display of each frame is completed. Accordingly, the first electrode and the second electrode can be used for display driving, the first electrode and the two positioning detection electrodes can be used for touch detection, the first electrode can be used for detecting coordinates of a touch position in a direction intersecting with an extending direction thereof, and the two positioning detection electrodes can be used for detecting coordinates of a touch position in the extending direction of the first electrode.

It should be noted that, other words for describing the first electrode, the positioning detection electrode, and the like for the touch detection electrode may appear in the specification of the present invention, for example, but not limited to: a touch detection electrode, or a self-capacitance detection electrode, or a detection electrode, etc., can be understood by those skilled in the art as equivalent to the first electrode or the positioning detection electrode of the present invention. For convenience of description, the first electrode and the position detection electrode may be collectively referred to as a touch detection electrode when used for touch detection. In addition, the words "first", "second", "row", "column", and the like in the description of the present invention are merely for convenience of understanding and do not represent any specific limitation.

The PMOLED touch display panel is a PMOLED display panel with a touch detection function, and when light beams are emitted from one side of an OLED substrate, the PMOLED display device is a bottom-light-emitting display panel; when the light beam is emitted from one side far away from the substrate, the PMOLED display device is a top-light-emitting display panel; when light beams are emitted from one side of the OLED substrate and one side of the OLED substrate away from the substrate, the PMOLED display device is a double-sided light-emitting display panel.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, although the embodiments of the present application are schematically described with reference to a PMOLED display device, the PMOLED display device of the present application may be used in other embodiments where image display is not required, such as a Touch Pad (Touch Pad) for a notebook computer, where the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer do not need to be transparent, and the glass substrate for protection may be replaced by other materials.

Referring to fig. 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, a PMOLED display device includes a PMOLED touch display panel (not numbered) including a first electrode layer (not numbered) composed of a plurality of first electrodes 12 extending in a first direction, a second electrode layer (not numbered) opposite to the first electrode layer composed of a plurality of second electrodes 14 extending in a second direction and disposed to overlap the first electrodes 12, a light emitting layer 13 disposed between the first and second electrode layers, a glass cover plate 11 disposed on the first electrode layer, and first and second positioning detection electrodes 101 and 102 disposed at both sides of the first electrodes 12 and intersecting perpendicular extensions of the first electrodes 12 or the first electrodes 12. The first electrode 12 and the second electrode 14 are not directly connected but are arranged in a staggered and overlapping manner. In this embodiment, for example and without limitation, the first electrodes 12 are parallel to each other, and the second electrodes 14 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first electrodes 12. The first electrode layer is located above the second electrode layer. Above the glass cover plate 11, a user can see an image display and perform touch control on the upper surface of the glass cover plate 11. The extension line of the first electrode 12 includes an extension line in the extending direction of the first electrode 1 or an extension line in the opposite direction to the extending direction of the first electrode 12.

Referring to fig. 2, the first positioning detecting electrode 101 and the second positioning detecting electrode 102 are disposed on the same layer as the first electrode 12. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first positioning detecting electrode 101 and the second positioning detecting electrode 102 may be disposed on the same layer as the second electrode 14, or may be disposed on a single layer on the first electrode layer, which is not limited by the present invention. The light emitting layer 13 includes an electroluminescent layer composed of an organic molecular thin film, such as but not limited to: OLED stack layers. The first electrode 12 is an anode and the second electrode 14 is a cathode, the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 14 being capable of providing current to the light emitting layer 13 and receiving current from the light emitting layer 13, respectively.

Referring to fig. 3, the PMOLED display device further includes a touch detection circuit 110, a data driving circuit 120, and a scan driving circuit 130. The touch detection circuit 110 is connected to the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode 101 and the second positioning detection electrode 102, and is configured to detect a change in self capacitance of the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode 101 and the second positioning detection electrode 102. The data driving circuit 120 is connected to the first electrode 12 for supplying current to the first electrode 12. The scan driving circuit 130 is connected to the second electrode 14, and is used for driving the second electrode 14 in a progressive scan manner, so that the second electrode 14 corresponding to the scan is grounded, and thus, current passes between the second electrode 14 corresponding to the scan and the first electrode 12, and other second electrodes 14 not being scanned are disconnected and grounded and are not conducted with the first electrode 12. By repeating such progressive scanning and progressive display, one frame of image display is completed. During an interval of each frame of image display, the PMOLED display device is in a touch detection mode, the touch detection circuit 110 performs touch detection on the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode 101, and the second positioning detection electrode 102, the scan driving circuit 130 supplies a high-level common voltage to the second electrode 14, the touch detection circuit 110 causes self capacitances of the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode 101, and the second positioning detection electrode 102 to be charged, discharged, and detects a charge-discharge charge amount signal or a detection coupling voltage signal, and further performs touch actions of an external object (e.g., a finger) on the PMOLED display device and detection of a touch position by further processing of the charge amount signal or the coupling voltage signal.

The first electrodes 12 and the second electrodes 14 overlap to form a grid distribution, and the overlapping area of the first electrodes 12 and the second electrodes 14 can be regarded as a pixel, and the plurality of pixels form a display area of the PMOLED display device, so that the first electrodes 12 and the second electrodes 14 together form the display area of the PMOLED display device. Meanwhile, the first electrode 12 is also multiplexed as a touch detection electrode at the time of touch detection, so that the plurality of first electrodes 12 and the first and second positioning detection electrodes 101 and 102 together constitute a touch detection region of the PMOLED display device. It is obvious that the first electrode 12 and the self capacitance of the first positioning detection electrode 101 or the second positioning detection electrode 102 at the touch position are affected by the finger of the user during touch detection, and the finger size is significantly larger than the widths of the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode and the second positioning detection electrode 102, so that the resolution of the touch area for touch detection is not as high as that of the display area. Thus, the first electrode 12 may be divided into several detection channels at the time of touch detection, each detection channel comprising a certain number of first electrodes 12. The signal of each detection channel is input to the touch detection circuit 110 after being connected in parallel. In this embodiment, the touch detection circuit 110 may include an amplifying module, which may include a plurality of amplifiers respectively connected to the first electrode, the first positioning detection electrode, and the second positioning detection electrode, or a part of the plurality of electrodes may be connected to one amplifier through a switch, or charge amount signals of charge and discharge of the plurality of electrodes may be summed by an adder and input to one amplifier.

Referring to fig. 4, the number of the second electrodes 14 of the PMOLED display device is assumed to be n. Gl1 to gln (n is a positive integer) in fig. 4 represent scanning signals applied to n second electrodes 14, respectively. In the display stage, the PMOLED display device is in a display driving mode, and the n second electrodes 14 are sequentially grounded under the scan driving of the scan signals gl1 to gln, so that a current can flow between the corresponding first electrode 12 and the grounded second electrode 14, thereby completing the display of the mth frame image. In the touch detection phase, the touch detection circuit 110 operates, the first electrode 12 is used for touch detection, and the second electrode 14 is connected to Vcom or a specific voltage to cooperate with touch detection. After the touch detection phase is finished, the PMOLED display device enters an m+1st frame display phase.

In a variation of this embodiment, the number of the first electrodes 12 may be 160, the number of the second electrodes 14 may be 80, the first electrodes 12 and the second electrodes 14 form a display area of 160×80, and when the touch detection is performed, the 5 first electrodes 12 are combined into one detection channel, so the 160 forms 32 detection channels for the first electrodes 12 and two detection channels for positioning the detection electrodes 101 and 102. Referring to fig. 5, the touch detection area of the PMOLED display device may include 8 touch key areas including a first set of touch key areas A1, A2, A3, A4 adjacent to the first positioning detection electrode 101, and a second set of touch key areas B1, B2, B3, B4 adjacent to the second positioning detection electrode 102. Thus, the 8 touch key areas may be divided into two rows with longitudinal coordinates A, B and four columns with lateral coordinates 1,2, 3, 4.

When a user touches a certain touch key region, the corresponding first electrode 12 can be detected by the touch detection circuit 110 to change the self capacitance and confirm the corresponding lateral coordinate of the touch key region, and the corresponding first positioning detection electrode 101 or second positioning detection electrode 102 can be detected by the touch detection circuit 110 to change the self capacitance and confirm the corresponding longitudinal coordinate of the touch key region, so that the touch detection circuit 110 can determine which touch key region the positioning user touch position is located. The actual area of the touch key area is not large, and an icon or button representing a touch in the user interface may be disposed adjacent to the position of the first or second position detecting electrode 101 or 102 when configuring the User Interface (UI) of the PMOLED display device, so that the user may necessarily touch the first or second position detecting electrode 101 or 102 when performing a touch operation. As shown in fig. 4, a circular dotted box represents the actual touch position of the user's finger, and a rectangular dotted box represents the user interface that can be touch-controlled. In the display stage, the PMOLED display device displays a user interface adjacent to the first or second positioning detection electrode 101 or 102 at a position adjacent to the positioning detection electrode in a display region corresponding to the touch key region. Accordingly, the user overlaps the first or second positioning detection electrode 101 or 102 at the actual touch position at the time of the touch operation, thereby causing a change in self capacitance of the first or second positioning detection electrode 101 or 102.

In the above embodiments, the first positioning detection electrode 101 and the second positioning detection electrode 102 are exemplary, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the first positioning detection electrode 101 and the second positioning detection electrode 102 may be collectively referred to as positioning detection electrodes, and the number thereof is not particularly limited.

In a variation of the foregoing embodiment, the touch detection area may be divided into a plurality of touch key areas, and the PMOLED display device has a user interface adjacent to the positioning detection electrode in a display area corresponding to the touch key area.

In the foregoing embodiments and modified embodiments, the proximity refers to a distance between the user interface and the positioning detection electrode or a touch detection area corresponding to the positioning detection electrode being sufficiently small so that a user touches a corresponding area of the positioning detection electrode on the PMOLED touch display panel when performing a touch control operation on the user interface.

Referring to fig. 6, the touch detection circuit 110 includes an amplifying module 111, an analog-to-digital converter 112, and a processor 113. Since the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode 101, and the second positioning detection electrode 102 are grounded during touch detection, the corresponding grounded capacitance is referred to herein as a self-capacitance. The amplifying module 111 receives the charge changes of the touch detection capacitors corresponding to the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode 101, and the second positioning detection electrode 102, and outputs the amplified touch detection voltages to the analog-to-digital converter 112, the analog-to-digital converter 112 outputs digital signals to the processor 113 according to the analog touch detection voltage signals, and the processor 113 performs signal processing to obtain the touch detection result.

The self-capacitance of the first electrode 12, the first positioning detection electrode 101, and the second positioning detection electrode 102 is defined as a touch detection capacitance C1. The amplifying module 111 includes a first switch S1, a second switch S2, a resistor R1, a third switch S3, an amplifying capacitor C2, and an amplifier 1111. The high level voltage VDD (for example, the device power voltage) is connected to one end of the touch detection capacitor C1 through the first switch S1, and the other end of the touch detection capacitor C1 is grounded (the touch detection capacitor C1 is actually a parasitic capacitance of the first electrode 12 or the first positioning detection electrode 101, and the second positioning detection electrode 102 to the ground, i.e., a self-capacitance). One end of the touch detection capacitor C1 connected to the first switch S1 is further connected to the positive input end of the amplifier 1111 through the second switch S2 and the resistor R1, and the output end of the amplifier 1111 is connected to the positive input end of the amplifier 1111 through the amplifying capacitor C2. The negative input of the amplifier 1111 is grounded. The third switch S3 is connected in parallel with the two ends of the amplifying capacitor C2 between the output terminal and the positive input terminal of the amplifier 1111. The output end of the amplifier 1111 outputs an amplified touch detection voltage Vout, the magnitude of which is vout= (VDD-Vcmop) ×c1/C2, wherein Vcmop represents the common-mode voltage of the amplifier 1111, and the common-mode voltage of the amplifier 1111 can be adjusted according to the circuit design requirement. Specifically, the initial charge C1 x VDD and the end charge C1 x Vcmop of the touch detection capacitor C1, and the amount of released charge of the touch detection capacitor C1 is C1 x VDD-C1 x Vcmop. The charge may be converted to a change in the output voltage of the amplifier 1111, i.e., c2×vout=c1×vdd—c1× Vcmop. Vout= (VDD-Vcmop) C1/C2.

The touch detection voltage Vout output by the amplifier 1111 is proportional to the touch detection capacitance C1, and thus the magnitude of the touch detection capacitance C1 can be detected by detecting the magnitude of the touch detection voltage Vout. The ground may be a ground connection, a device ground, or other ground as defined herein.

The touch detection capacitor C1 is used for charging when the first switch S1 is turned on and the second switch S2 is turned off; the discharge occurs when the first switch S1 is turned off and the second switch S2 is turned on, and at this time, the charge on the touch detection capacitor C1 is partially transferred to the amplification capacitor C2. When the touch detection circuit 110 works, the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are continuously turned on and off under the control of a control unit (not shown), and the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are not turned on or off at the same time all the time. Therefore, a pulse signal with a certain period and frequency is generated during the continuous charging and discharging process of the touch detection capacitor C1, and the pulse signal is amplified by the amplifier 1111 and then output to the analog-to-digital converter 112, and further processed and then output a corresponding digital signal to the processor 113. The processor 113 can store the output signal of the analog-to-digital converter 112 as an array, and compare the array value with a pre-stored reference value, so that a point where the detected output signal has a large change is a touch position.

The third switch S3 may be used to reset the amplifier 1111, which is in a normally off state. In addition, in a modified embodiment of the present embodiment, the touch detection circuit 110 may further include a filtering unit or element for filtering noise; a control unit for generating a pulse control signal, etc.

In a variation of the above embodiment, the touch detection circuit 110 may further detect a touch by detecting a mutual capacitance between the first positioning detection electrode 101 and/or the second positioning detection electrode 102 and a designated or adjacent one of the first electrodes 12. Referring to fig. 7, in a modified embodiment of the present invention, the first positioning detecting electrode 101 and a first electrode 12 have an equivalent mutual coupling capacitance Cm (i.e. mutual capacitance), and the first positioning detecting electrode 101 and the first electrode 12 have an electric field distribution. When an external finger touches or approaches the first positioning detection electrode 101 and the first electrode 12, the finger absorbs a part of the electric field emitted by the first electrode 12 due to the coupling capacitance between the human body and the ground, the electric field received by the first positioning detection electrode 101 decreases, and a small current may flow through the human body to the ground via the first electrode 12, and accordingly, a small current may also flow through the human body to the ground via the first positioning detection electrode 101, resulting in a change in the mutual coupling capacitance Cm. Similar to the calculation of the change in the charge amount of the capacitor C1 in the above-described embodiment, the touch detection circuit 110 can determine whether the first positioning detection electrode 101 is touched by detecting the change in the charge amount of the mutual coupling Cm. Likewise, the second positioning detection electrode 102 can also detect touch positioning by detecting the mutual coupling capacitance between the second positioning detection electrode and one of the first electrodes 12.

Therefore, in the above embodiment and the modified embodiment of the present invention, the first positioning detection electrode 101 and the second positioning detection electrode 102 may be used for touch detection in a self-capacitance manner, or may be used for touch detection in a mutual capacitance manner, or may be used for touch detection in a combination manner, which is not limited by the present invention, and those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the modifications, combinations, substitutions, extensions, etc. of the above embodiment are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

Please refer to fig. 9, which is a schematic diagram of a modified embodiment of the foregoing embodiment, wherein the structure and implementation principle of the PMOLED display device are substantially the same as those of the PMOLED display device in the foregoing embodiment, and the difference is that: the first positioning detection electrode 101 and the second positioning detection electrode 102 are arranged in a single layer on the first electrode layer.

Referring to fig. 10, a schematic diagram of a modified embodiment of the foregoing embodiment, the structure and implementation principle of the PMOLED display device are basically the same as those of the PMOLED display device in the foregoing embodiment, and the difference is that the PMOLED display device further includes a plurality of other positioning detection electrodes disposed in a single layer between the first electrode layer and the glass cover plate 11.

The present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the first positioning detecting electrode 101 and the second positioning detecting electrode 102 may have other arrangements, so long as the detection and positioning of the touch position in the extending direction of the first electrode 12 can be achieved, which falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

The first direction and the second direction intersect perpendicularly or non-perpendicularly. The touch detection circuit 210 is configured to detect a change in capacitance of the first electrode 22, the first positioning detection electrode 201, and the second positioning detection electrode 202 when the PMOLED display device is in a touch detection mode, so as to position a touch position of an external object (e.g., a finger). The data driving circuit 220 is configured to supply a current to the first electrode 22. The scan driving circuit 230 is connected to the second electrode 24, and is used for driving the second electrode 24 in a progressive scan manner, so that the second electrode 24 corresponding to the scan is grounded, and thus, current passes between the second electrode 24 corresponding to the scan and the first electrode 22, and other second electrodes 24 not being scanned are disconnected and grounded and are not conducted with the first electrode 22. The light emitting layer may include light emitting cells that emit colors of red, green, blue, etc., which emit light when current flows therethrough. By repeating the above progressive scanning and progressive display, the PMOLED display device completes one frame of image display after all the second electrodes 24 are scanned, and the PMOLED display device enters the touch detection mode from the display driving mode. The touch detection circuit 210 detects a change in self capacitance of the first electrode 22 and the first and second positioning detection electrodes 201, 202, and positions a touch position of an external object (e.g., a finger) including confirming coordinates of the touch position in an extending direction of the first electrode 22 and coordinates perpendicular to the extending direction of the first electrode 22. After the first electrode 22, the first positioning detection electrode 201 and the second positioning detection electrode 202 complete touch detection, the PMOLED display device ends the touch detection mode, enters a display driving mode, and continues the next frame of image display. In fact, the first electrode 22 serves as a touch detection electrode at the time of touch detection and as a display driving electrode at the time of display driving.

The scan signal generating circuit 231 turns off the plurality of switches row by row, thereby grounding the second electrode 24 row by row. And, only one second electrode 24 is grounded at the same time. In this embodiment, the common voltage is a high level voltage, for example, 8 to 15 v. When the common voltage is applied to the second electrode 24, no current flows between the second electrode 24 and the plurality of first electrodes 22. When the second electrode 24 is grounded, a current path is formed between the second electrode 24 and the plurality of first electrodes 22, so that the light emitting layer disposed between the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 24, particularly, the light emitting layer corresponding to the overlapping portion of the plurality of first electrodes 22 and the second electrode 24, can generate electroluminescence. The magnitude of the current supplied to the first electrode 22 by the data driving circuit 220 may be different, so that the light emitting brightness of the light emitting layers corresponding to different overlapping positions of the first electrode 22 and the second electrode 24 may also be different.

The touch detection circuit 410 is configured to detect a change in capacitance of the first electrode 42, the first positioning detection electrode 401, and the second positioning detection electrode 402 when the PMOLED display device is in a touch detection mode, so as to position a touch position of an external object (e.g., a finger). The data driving circuit 420 is configured to supply a current to the first electrode 22. The scan driving circuit 430 is connected to the second electrode 44, and is used for driving the second electrode 44 in a progressive scan manner, so that the second electrode 44 corresponding to the scan is grounded, and thus, current passes between the second electrode 44 corresponding to the scan and the first electrode 42, and other second electrodes 44 not being scanned are disconnected and grounded and are not conducted with the first electrode 42. By repeating the above progressive scanning and progressive display, the PMOLED display device completes scanning of one frame of image after all the second electrodes 44 are scanned, and the PMOLED display device enters the touch detection mode from the display driving mode. The touch detection circuit 410 detects a change in self capacitance of the first electrode 42 and the first and second positioning detection electrodes 401, 402, and positions a touch position of an external object (e.g., a finger) including confirming coordinates of the touch position in an extending direction of the first electrode 42 and coordinates perpendicular to the extending direction of the first electrode 42. After the first electrode 22, the first positioning detection electrode 401 and the second positioning detection electrode 402 complete touch detection, the PMOLED display device ends the touch detection mode, enters a display driving mode, and continues the next frame of image display. In fact, the first electrode 42 serves as a touch detection electrode at the time of touch detection and as a display driving electrode at the time of display driving.

The first positioning detecting electrode 401 and the second positioning detecting electrode 402 may be disposed on the layer where the first electrode 42 is disposed, or on the layer where the second electrode 44 is disposed, or on a single layer on the first electrode 42. A protective layer (e.g., a glass cover plate) may be further disposed above the first electrode 42, and a user may perform a touch control operation by touching the protective layer. The layer positions where the first positioning detection electrode 401 and the second positioning detection electrode 402 are provided are not particularly limited in the present invention.

The touch detection circuit 410 includes an amplifying module 411, an analog-to-digital converter 412, a processor 413, a multiplexer 414, a control unit 415, a charging module 416, a first switch K1, and a second switch K2. The multiplexer 414 includes a first input/output terminal and a second input/output terminal that can be used for signal input and output. The plurality of first electrodes 42, the first positioning detecting electrode 401 and the second positioning detecting electrode 402 are connected to a first input/output terminal of the multiplexer 414, the charging module 416 is connected to one conductive terminal of the first switch K1, the other conductive terminal of the first switch K1 is connected to a second input/output terminal of the multiplexer 414, and the second input/output terminal of the multiplexer 414 is further connected to the amplifying module 411 through two conductive terminals of the second switch K2. The amplifying module 412 is connected to the analog-to-digital converter 412, and the analog-to-digital converter 412 is connected to the processor 413. The control unit 415 is connected to control terminals of the first switch K1 and the second switch K2, respectively. For example, but not limited to, the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 are three-terminal switching elements including one control terminal and two conduction terminals, which can be turned on or off by applying a high level or a low level to the control terminal.

In this embodiment, the control unit 415 can provide a square wave pulse or a sine wave pulse signal to control the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 to be turned on or off. The first switch K1 and the second switch K2 may be an NMOS transistor and a PMOS transistor, and are reasonably set by a control signal output by the control unit 415, so that the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 are not turned on or off at the same time all the time. The first electrode 42, the first positioning detection electrode 401 and the second positioning detection electrode 402 are divided into a plurality of detection channels (or called channels) by the multiplexer 414, each detection channel comprises a plurality of first electrodes 42 and/or first positioning detection electrodes 401 and second positioning detection electrodes 402, and each detection channel corresponds to a different amplifying module 411. The operation of the touch detection circuit will be described below by taking a detection channel as an example.

When the PMOLED display device is in the touch detection mode, the control unit 415 transmits a pulse control signal to the first switch K1 and the second switch K2. When the first switch K1 is turned on and the second switch K2 is turned off, the charging module 416 charges the touch detection capacitances of the first electrode 42, the first positioning detection electrode 401, and the second positioning detection electrode 402 through the multiplexer 414, and specifically, the charging module 416 charges the parasitic capacitance (i.e., self capacitance) formed by connecting the first electrode 42 or the first positioning detection electrode 401, and the second positioning detection electrode 402 for touch detection and connecting them to the ground. When the first switch K1 is turned off and the second switch K2 is turned on, the touch detection capacitance is discharged through the multiplexer 414, and a portion of the charge on the touch detection capacitance is transferred to the capacitance within the amplifying module 411. As the first switch K1 and the second switch K2 are continuously turned on and off, the amplifying module 411 performs signal amplification processing on the pulse signal formed by charging and discharging the touch detection capacitor, and generates a corresponding amplified capacitor output signal, and the analog-to-digital converter converts the voltage signal output by the amplifying module into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to the processor 413. The processor 413 performs a positioning process of touch detection according to the digital signal output from the analog-to-digital converter 412. The charging module 416 may be a power module or other voltage output circuit, and the output voltage of the charging module 416 may be 5V, or 3V, 8V, 10V, 12V, 15V, etc., which is not particularly limited in the present invention.

In some variations of the above embodiments, the multiplexer 414 may be omitted, and the first electrode 42 for touch detection and the positioning detection electrodes 401 and 402 may be directly connected to the corresponding first switch K1 and the second switch K2, and further connected to the charging module 416 and the amplifying module 411.

In addition, the invention enables the detection of the self capacitance magnitudes or changes of the first (12, 22, 32, 42) and the first and second positioning detection electrodes by configuring the user interface with adjacent first (101, 201, 301, 401) and second positioning detection electrodes (102, 202, 302, 402) such that the touch position of the user and the first and second positioning detection electrodes, or the first and second electrodes, overlap when performing a touch action; or the magnitude or variation of the mutual capacitance between the first and second position detection electrodes and the first electrode (12, 22, 32, 42) to determine the two-dimensional coordinate direction of the touch position.
