Abstract

An optical touch-sensing display panel includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, at least one sensor, and aside-type backlight. The sensor is disposed at an edge of the LCD panel. The side-type backlight is disposed under the LCD panel and includes a light guide plate, many first, second, and auxiliary light sources. The light guide plate is disposed under the LCD panel. The sensor is disposed around a corner of the light guide plate. The first light source provides a visible light for the guide light plate. The second light source provides an invisible light. The auxiliary light source provides an auxiliary invisible light, and is disposed around other corner of the LCD panel. When the LCD panel is touched, the invisible light and the auxiliary invisible light passing through the LCD panel are scattered and sensed by the sensor such that a position of a touch point is estimated accordingly.

[Previous Technology] The touch panel can be roughly classified into an electric touch panel, a capacitive touch panel, an optical touch panel, an acoustic touch panel, and an electromagnetic touch panel according to different sensing methods. Since the touch mechanism of the optical touch panel is suitable for use in a large-sized display panel, the touch function of the large-size display panel is mostly achieved through an optical touch mechanism. Most of the current optical touch display panels use infrared light as a light source, and a complementary CMOS optical sensor is used to sense the infrared light to estimate the position of the touch point. In the prior art, the intensity of the infrared light at the edge corresponding to the display panel is generally weaker, so that when the user touches the edge of the display panel, the touch is sensed by the complementary MOS light minus test number. The weak signal strength makes it difficult for the touch signal to be detected, which in turn causes the touch sensitivity to decrease. Generally, the touch sensitivity is poor at a corner far from the complementary MOS photosensor, and malfunction occurs. [Embodiment] The present invention provides an optical touch display panel having a light source of a uniform sentence. 28 28 埶 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 28 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学 光学The sensing element is attached to the edge of the liquid money display panel.
