Abstract
The present invention controls a trace noise signal due to a decrease in touch sensitivity caused by a trace noise signal generated in a single-sided touch sensor having a structure (TRR structure) in which two receiving electrodes Rx1 and Rx2 are coupled to one driving electrode Tx. By providing an algorithm to provide a single-sided touch sensor with improved touch sensitivity.
Description
The present invention relates to a single-sided touch sensor, and to a single-sided touch sensor with improved sensitivity by controlling a trace noise signal.
The conventional touch screen sensor uses two electrode layers as a discrete position sensing touch sensor. Conventional touch position sensor, the vertical position sensing layer (Rx) for sensing the vertical position, the horizontal position sensing layer (Tx) and the vertical position sensing layer (Rx) and the horizontal position sensing layer (Tx) for sensing the horizontal position It consists of a shielding layer to block electrical noise for Such three layers may be stacked through an adhesive layer, and a transparent window may be stacked on the vertical position sensing layer Rx or the horizontal position sensing layer Tx via the adhesive layer.
The reason for configuring the horizontal position sensing layer Tx and the vertical position sensing layer Rx as separate layers in the conventional touch position sensing device is that the connection line is connected to an external circuit for detecting whether the contact is performed at each position. To minimize the number.
If the sensing regions are arranged at M positions horizontally and N positions vertically on the surface of a single film, the touch sensor circuit for detecting whether or not a contact is detected may have (M * N) counts to detect touches at each sensing region. A channel is needed. However, if the sensing patterns for sensing the horizontal position and the vertical position are separated to form separate sensing layers, only the (M + N) channels can detect the contact position of the entire area. Therefore, the conventional touch position sensing sensor is configured as a separate layer by separating the horizontal position sensing layer and the vertical position sensing layer in order to prevent the number of sensing areas from being limited by the number of channels of the touch sensor circuit for detecting whether or not a touch exists.
However, such a conventional contact position sensor has a plurality of sensing layers, and thus the thickness of the sensor is increased, and the first and second electrodes are formed by forming electrode patterning with a transparent conductive material such as ITO or a fine electrode. In the process of forming the pattern, since the expensive ITO or expensive process is used, the overall manufacturing cost of the conventional contact position sensor increases.
As an alternative to this, various researches are being conducted on the single-sided touch sensor having the same effect as using two layers using only one electrode layer.
Referring to FIG. 1, a structure of a general cross-sectional touch sensor is patterned. A plurality of receiving electrodes Rx and a plurality of driving electrodes Tx are patterned on a single surface.
Since the trace of Rx1 is invariably wired between Rx2 and Tx, when touch is generated in Rx2, the change of capacitance of Rx2 is detected as well as the change of capacitance in Rx1 trace and the sensitivity of the touch sensor is inferior. Occurred.
Conventional technology for solving such a problem was the Republic of Korea Patent KR-1285686.
The conventional technology is equipped with a separate receiver node, to prevent the malfunction of the touch through a specific compensation algorithm to the capacitance measured at the receiver node, and to improve the sensitivity of the touch.
However, the prior art requires a separate configuration for measuring capacitance at the receiver node, which causes a complicated configuration.
The present invention provides an algorithm for preventing a decrease in touch sensitivity due to a trace noise signal generated in a single-sided touch sensor having an electrode structure (TRR structure) in which two receiving electrodes Rx1 and Rx2 are coupled to one driving electrode Tx. It provides a single-sided touch sensor with improved touch sensitivity.
The present invention provides a cross-sectional touch sensor having an electrode structure in which two receiving electrodes Rx1 and Rx2 are coupled to one driving electrode Tx, wherein the capacitance change signals of the two receiving electrodes Rx1 and Rx2 are changed. A channel signal sensing unit for sensing, and a signal analysis unit for detecting the touch position from the capacitance change signal sensed by the channel signal sensing unit.
The channel signal detection unit includes an Rx1 channel signal detection module detecting a change in capacitance of Rx1, an Rx2 channel signal detection module detecting a change in capacitance of Rx2, and an Rx1 channel signal detected by the channel signal detection module of Rx1. Is a signal separated into an Rx1 signal and a Rx1 trace signal having a predetermined ratio.
The signal analyzer includes an Rx1 channel signal separation module for separating an Rx1 channel signal into an Rx1 signal and an Rx1 trace signal, an Rx1 trace signal changing module for changing an Rx1 trace signal according to an Rx2 signal or an Rx2 channel signal change ratio, and the changed Rx1 trace signal. And an Rx1 channel signal correction module for correcting the Rx1 channel signal by summing the Rx1 signals, and a coordinate analysis module for calculating touch coordinates based on the Rx1 channel signal, the Rx2 channel signal, and the changed Rx1 channel signal.
In the method for removing trace noise generated in the process of analyzing a signal of a single-sided touch sensor, a channel signal receiving step of receiving Rx1 and Rx2 channel signals and a signal deviating from a reference signal among the signals of the channel receiving step are detected. In this case, the Rx2 channel signal checking step of checking whether the Rx2 channel signal is included in the signal received in the channel receiving step, and the Rx2 channel value of the channel signal receiving step are not included in the Rx2 channel signal checking step. A touch coordinate analysis step of interpreting touch coordinates from a signal, an Rx1 channel signal correction step of converting the Rx1 channel signal into a corrected Rx1 channel signal when the Rx2 channel value is included in the Rx2 channel signal checking step, and the Rx1 channel signal It consists of a coordinate analysis step of confirming the touch coordinates from the result value of the correction step.
The Rx1 channel signal correction step includes: an Rx1 channel signal separation step of separating the Rx1 channel signal into an Rx1 signal and an Rx1 trace signal, an Rx1 trace signal conversion step of converting the Rx1 trace signal separated in the Rx1 channel signal separation step, and the trace signal A Rx1 signal summing step of summing the converted Rx1 trace signal and the Rx1 signal is performed.
The Rx1 trace signal conversion step is to reduce the Rx1 trace signal according to the rate of change of the value of the Rx2 signal.
The sensitivity of the touch sensor may be improved by removing trace noise generated in a single-sided touch sensor having an electrode structure in which two receiving electrodes Rx1 and Rx2 are coupled to one driving electrode Tx.
