Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a scanning method in a capacitive touch sensor, and more particularly, to a scanning method in a capacitive touch sensor, in which full scanning is performed irrespective of whether a touch is present, The present invention relates to a scanning method of an interlaced type in a capacitive touch sensor.
Most of the smart devices that have become popular in recent years are equipped with touch panels, and most of the input / output is performed by touch. The method of recognizing the touch on the touch panel can be roughly divided into the resistance film type and the capacitance type. In the past, the resistance film method has been widely used because it is inexpensive in terms of economy. However, recently, it has been replaced with a capacitive method which is excellent in durability, has a clear screen, and is capable of multi-touch.
The capacitance type touch panel is a method of using the capacitance in the human body. The capacitance type touch panel is divided into the method of recognizing the touch by measuring the change of the resistance and the current caused by the capacitance of the person using the AC voltage and the method of judging the presence or absence of the touch by comparing the charged amount of the capacitor . Such a capacitive touch panel has excellent durability as compared with a resistive film type using a film, so that it does not interfere with moisture or small damage. In addition, the accuracy of the touch is relatively high, the optical characteristic is excellent, and the screen is clear. In particular, the touch panel using the charging method of the electrostatic capacity is widely used in a mobile smart device because it can be multipointed and can be manufactured in a small size.
