Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the deterioration in the detection accuracy at the start and end of detection by applying a scanning pulse to electrodes so that a rising and a trailing of the scanning pulse are generated simultaneously in an electrode group in the detection coordinate direction so as to detect a position of a detection conductor on a matrix panel. CONSTITUTION:The rising and trailing scanning pulses are scanned sequentially for electrode groups R1-R100 in the detection coordinate direction to enter the detection scanning mode. In succession to the scanning of the electrode R100, the detection scanning pulse is applied sequentially from a row electrode group R1 to a row electrode group R100 sequentially simultaneously. A pen 210 is used to detect a position of the detection conductor on a matrix panel by using electrostatic coupling between the pen 210 and the row electrode groups R1-R100. Thus, the deterioration in the detection accuracy at the start and end of detection is reduced.

When 801 is brought closer, the coupling capacitance between the electrodes r1 to r10 of the matrix panel and the pen 801 increases. The larger the coupling capacitance between the electrodes among the electrodes r1 to r10 close to the pen 801, the larger the capacitance. Therefore, the scanning pulse P for detection is applied to the electrode group.

Subsequently, detection in the column direction is carried out. Similar to the detection in the row direction, as the pre-stage scanning, the pre-stage scanning is performed by sequentially applying the pre-stage detection scanning pulse from S1 to S160 of the column electrode group from the column electrode driver 206. Subsequent to the preceding scanning, a scanning pulse for detection is sequentially applied to S1 to S640 of the column electrode group in the order of the column electrode drivers 206, 207, 208 and 209 to perform the detection scanning. The specification of the coordinate position of the pen 210 in the column direction is similar to that in the row direction. After the end of the detection scan, the column electrode driver 209 performs S481 to S of the column electrode group as the second stage scan.
The subsequent scanning pulse for detection is sequentially applied to 640 to perform the latter scanning.

In the first embodiment, the pre-stage scanning, the detection scanning and the post-stage scanning were performed on both the row electrode group and the column electrode group, but the detection from the column electrode group which is the electrode group on the front side substrate is performed. Since the signal intensity is much larger than the signal intensity due to the potential variation generated in the row electrode group which is the electrode group on the back side substrate, the potential variation of the row electrode group may have almost no effect on the detection signal. In such a case, detection can be performed without performing the pre-stage scanning and the post-stage scanning only for the electrode group on the back surface side substrate and not for the electrode group on the front surface side substrate.

Further, in the scanning order of the first embodiment, the preceding scan is performed on the electrode group connected to the row electrode driver 202 and the subsequent scan is performed on the electrode group connected to the row electrode driver 205. Alternatively, for example, as the scanning order, it is also possible to perform the previous scanning with the electrode group connected to the row electrode drivers 202 and 203 and the subsequent scanning with the electrode group connected to the row electrode drivers 204 and 205.

In this case, since all the electrodes are scanned the same number of times, the difference in the effective value of the applied voltage between the electrodes due to the difference in the number of scans can be eliminated.

Further, although the case where the pre-stage scanning and the post-stage scanning are performed is shown, only the pre-stage scanning is performed because of the balance between the intensity of the detected signal and the intensity of the signal due to the potential fluctuation of the counter electrode.
It is also possible to adopt a form in which only the latter scanning is performed.

When coordinate detection is performed by the liquid crystal panel 301 of FIG. 4, for example, when scanning of the row electrode group is performed in the detection period as row electrode drivers 302 → 302 → 303 → 304 → 305 → 305, the row electrode driver 302 , 305, the pixels on the row electrodes connected to the row electrodes 305 and 305 have a larger number of scans than the pixels on the row electrodes connected to the row electrode drivers 303 and 304, and the effective value voltage is higher.

5A and 5B are views showing an example of a matrix panel in which a row electrode group is divided into two upper and lower rows. FIG. 5A is a plan view and FIG. 5B is a sectional view of FIG. In FIG. 5, A1 indicates an upper area to which the row electrode groups R1 to R200 belong, and A2 indicates a lower area to which the row electrode groups R201 to R400 belong. Considering the case of scanning a matrix panel having such a configuration,
When the row electrode in the upper area A1 is switched from ON to OFF, the potential of the column electrode in the upper area A1 changes, but the potential of the column electrode in the lower area A2 does not change. Similarly, when the row electrode of the lower area A2 is switched from ON to OFF, the potential of the column electrode of the lower area A2 changes, but the potential of the column electrode of the upper area A1 does not change.

Therefore, in the case of a matrix panel having such a divided structure, for example, when starting the detection scanning from the electrode R1, unless the preceding scanning is performed by the row electrode group of the upper area A1, the upper area A1 is obtained. To the row electrode group of
Since there is no simultaneous switching of F → ON and ON → OFF, the potential of the counter electrode fluctuates. Further, if detection scanning is continuously performed from the upper area A1 in the lower area A2, when scanning is moved from the upper area A1 to the lower area A2, the electrode group in the lower area A2 is switched from ON to OFF. Therefore, the potential of the counter electrode in the lower area A2 changes.

In 701, it is assumed that the row electrode group is arranged on the back side substrate with respect to the detection pen and the column electrode group is arranged on the front side substrate with respect to the detection pen. Consider a case where the front-stage scanning and the rear-stage scanning are performed only in the coordinate detection in the row electrode direction of the back substrate, and the front-stage scanning and the rear-stage scanning are not performed in the column-direction coordinate detection.

In this case, in the coordinate detection in the row direction, the electrode group connected to the row electrode drivers 702 and 703 shown in the scanning order (1) and (2) is scanned as the pre-stage scanning shown in the period Tb.
Scanning order (3), (4), (5), (6) in the detection scanning shown in the period Td
The row electrode driver indicated by is scanned in the order of 702, 703, 704, 705, and the scanning order (7), (8) is set as the second stage scanning shown in the period Ta.
The row electrode drivers 704 and 705 indicated by are scanned. Then, in the coordinate detection in the column direction, the column electrode driver shown in the scanning order (9), (10), (11), (12) is used in the detection scanning shown in the period Td.
The coordinate detection itself is completed by scanning in the order of 6,707,708,709. However, while the electrode group in the row direction is scanned twice, but the electrode group in the column direction is scanned only once, a DC component remains in the voltage applied to the pixel. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the scanning sequence (13), (14), (15), (16) is performed on the electrode group in the column direction by performing the compensation scanning shown in the period Tc in order to apply the compensation voltage after the detection scanning. By doing so, the residual DC component can be eliminated.

Although the compensation scanning is performed after the detection scanning in FIG. 8, it may be performed before the detection scanning. Also, instead of performing sequential scanning, the voltage pulse required to eliminate the residual DC component is applied simultaneously from the column electrode driver to all of the column electrode groups, or the column electrode group is divided into several groups.
