Referring to FIG. 1, the touch screen 300 includes a display 200 and a touch module 100. The touch module 100 is disposed on the display 200 to enable the display 2 to have a touch function. The display 200 has a display surface 210 and a sensing space 220 located in front of the display surface 210. In this embodiment, the touch module 100 includes three touch units 11 , 120 , 130 , a universal_column 140 and an interface circuit 1%. The touch units 110 , 120 , and 130 are electrically connected to each other via the interface circuit 150 , and the touch units 120 and 130 are electrically connected to each other via the interface circuit 15 . . Furthermore, any one of the touch units 110 or 120 or 130 is electrically connected to the universal serial bus 140. For convenience of the following description, this week, the example is electrically connected to the serial bus bar 140 by 12 turns. When a touch object 50 enters the sensing space 220, the touch singles 110, 120, 130 sense the touch object 50 to generate a one-dimensional mark = number, and the one-dimensional coordinate signals are collected to the touch unit 12 〇, and convert the ^ two-dimensional coordinate signal and then transmit the touch module (8) from the universal serial bus 14 。. Here, the embodiment does not limit the aggregation of the one-dimensional coordinate signals to the touch unit 120. Therefore, the signals generated by the touch units 11〇, 12〇, and 13〇 may be collected into the touch unit 11G or 13G, and then converted into a 1 signal and transmitted through the universal serial bus 14 〇. Based on the above, in the touch unit of the embodiment, the electrical connection between the touch units 110, 120, and 130 can be changed according to actual needs, 201122956 π^υυ^31 33091twf.doc/j The one-dimensional coordinate signals generated by the touch units 110, 120, and 130 are collected into one of the touch units 110, 120, and 130 (in this embodiment, the touch unit 120), and then the touch unit is not provided. Or 120 or 130 converts the one-dimensional coordinate signal into a two-dimensional coordinate signal, and the touch module 100 is transmitted through the universal serial bus 140 to enable the display 2 to have a touch function. 2 is a block diagram of some components in the touch module of FIG. 1, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 at the same time. In this embodiment, since the composition of each touch unit is the same, only the touch unit 12A will be described as an example. The touch unit 120 includes a light source 122 and a system wafer set 124. The light source 122 is configured to emit light toward the sensing space 22, and is, for example, a suitable light emitting element such as a light emitting diode (LED), a laser diode, or an invisible light source. The system chipset 124 is electrically connected to the light source 122, and the system chipset 124 includes a sensing component i24a and a signal processing component 124b that are electrically connected to each other. In this embodiment, the sensing component 124a and the signal processing component 12 can be integrated into a single wafer by system on chip (SoC) technology, but this embodiment is limited. Specifically, when the touch object 50 enters the sensing space 22, the sensing component 124a senses the light reflected by the touch object 50, and the touch object 50 is imaged on the sensing component i24a. A bright spot or a dark spot. At this time, the sensing component 124a generates a sensing signal to be transmitted to the signal processing component 124b, and the signal processing component i24b determines the position of the touch object 5〇 according to the change of the brightness of the light sensed by the corresponding sensing component 124a. Rizuuyuji 33091twf.doc/j L = No. Here, the one-dimensional coordinate signal is, for example, the incident angle of the light reflected by the touch object 50 to the sensing element, and then the 'the dimensional coordinate signal is collected to the touch unit (10). The position of the touch object % relative to the display surface 21 is determined from the video-dimensional coordinate signals by the compiler stored in the system chip board 124. For example, the compiler in the system chipset 124 can calculate the position of the touch object 5G relative to the display surface 21〇 according to the two incident angles of the sensing elements of the light touching person to the touch units 11G, m, and (10). 'By the purpose of generating a two-dimensional coordinate signal. Thereafter, it is transmitted to the work platform 9 via the universal serial bus 140.
