圖1為本發明實施例之光學觸控掃描裝置的剖面示意圖。請參照圖1,光學觸控掃描裝置100包括薄膜電晶體陣列基板110、複數個光感元件120、透光封裝層130以及光源模組140。這些光感元件120設置於薄膜電晶體陣列基板110之上,透光封裝層130設置於光感元件120之上,透光封裝層130具有表面131及底面132,其中底面132係朝向光感元件120,表面131係與底面132相對。光源模組140配置於薄膜 電晶體陣列基板110的下方,光源模組140包括導光板141、光學膜片142以及發光元件143。導光板141具有入光面141a與出光面141b,光學膜片142配置於出光面141b上方而位於導光板141與薄膜電晶體陣列基板110之間。發光元件143毗鄰導光板141之入光面141a,其中發光元件143所發出之光線L1是經由導光板141的入光面141a射至導光板141內部。而且,當觸控物件T位於表面131上的接觸點R時,光線L1經由導光板141之出光面141b射至表面131之接觸點R後反射抵達光感元件120。 1 is a cross-sectional view of an optical touch scanning device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the optical touch scanning device 100 includes a thin film transistor array substrate 110 , a plurality of light sensing elements 120 , a light transmissive encapsulating layer 130 , and a light source module 140 . The light sensing element 120 is disposed on the thin film transistor array substrate 110, and the light transmissive encapsulating layer 130 is disposed on the light sensing element 120. The light transmissive encapsulating layer 130 has a surface 131 and a bottom surface 132, wherein the bottom surface 132 faces the light sensing element. 120, the surface 131 is opposite to the bottom surface 132. The light source module 140 is disposed on the film Below the transistor array substrate 110, the light source module 140 includes a light guide plate 141, an optical film 142, and a light-emitting element 143. The light guide plate 141 has a light incident surface 141a and a light exit surface 141b. The optical film 142 is disposed above the light exit surface 141b and between the light guide plate 141 and the thin film transistor array substrate 110. The light-emitting element 143 is adjacent to the light-incident surface 141a of the light guide plate 141, and the light L1 emitted from the light-emitting element 143 is incident on the light guide plate 141 via the light-incident surface 141a of the light guide plate 141. Moreover, when the touch object T is located at the contact point R on the surface 131, the light L1 is incident on the light-emitting surface 141b of the light guide plate 141 to the contact point R of the surface 131, and is reflected to reach the light-sensitive element 120.

詳細來說,當光線L1射至表面131之接觸點R時,對應於觸控物件T之表面不同高度或不同反射率區域,所形成的反射光線L2之強度亦會隨之不同。而光感元件120在接收到反射光線L2後,可根據反射光線L2之強度將其轉換為一類比訊號,並將此類比訊號輸出至薄膜電晶體陣列基板110,以做為一影像訊號。此外,光感元件120亦可根據其所接收到的之反射光線L2來判斷觸控物件T的位置及其移動。如此一來,即可依據光感元件120所接收到的資訊進行觸控控制。 In detail, when the light ray L1 is incident on the contact point R of the surface 131, the intensity of the reflected light L2 formed will be different depending on the height of the surface of the touch object T or the different reflectance regions. After receiving the reflected light L2, the light sensing element 120 converts the reflected light L2 into an analog signal according to the intensity of the reflected light L2, and outputs the analog signal to the thin film transistor array substrate 110 as an image signal. In addition, the light sensing element 120 can also determine the position of the touch object T and its movement according to the reflected light L2 received by the light sensing element 120. In this way, the touch control can be performed according to the information received by the light sensing element 120.

此外,在本實施例中,上述由發光元件143發射之光線L1從導光板之出光面141b出射時,其出光角度θ(也就是光線L1與出光面141b之法線方向之間的夾角)例如是等於光線L1自透光封裝層130出射時的出射角θ,且θ需小於25度,較佳為23度。如此一來,光線L1在出射至接觸點R之後,因應觸控物件T之表面而反射的光線L2也能具有較小的散射角,進而能夠提高光感元件120所接收到之訊號的品質,以獲得較佳的辨識影像。 Further, in the present embodiment, when the light L1 emitted from the light-emitting element 143 is emitted from the light-emitting surface 141b of the light guide plate, the light-emitting angle θ (that is, the angle between the light L1 and the normal direction of the light-emitting surface 141b) is, for example, It is equal to the exit angle θ when the light ray L1 is emitted from the light-transmissive encapsulating layer 130, and θ needs to be less than 25 degrees, preferably 23 degrees. In this way, after the light L1 is emitted to the contact point R, the light L2 reflected by the surface of the touch object T can also have a small scattering angle, thereby improving the quality of the signal received by the light sensing element 120. For better identification images.

在本發明之另一實施例中,上述之光學膜片142例如是逆稜鏡片(reverse prism)。當光線L1經由導光板141之出光面141b 進入光學膜片142時,此逆稜鏡片可提高光線L1之準直性。除此之外,導光板141之出光面141更可以具有V型溝槽(V-cut),以增加出射光線L1之準直性。 In another embodiment of the invention, the optical film 142 described above is, for example, a reverse prism. When the light ray L1 passes through the light emitting surface 141b of the light guide plate 141 When entering the optical film 142, the reverse film can improve the collimation of the light L1. In addition, the light-emitting surface 141 of the light guide plate 141 may further have a V-cut to increase the collimation of the outgoing light L1.

圖2A為本發明另一實施例之光學觸控掃描裝置的剖面示意圖。請參照圖2A,本實施例之光學觸控掃描裝置201更包括濾光層250,配置於透光封裝層130下並面向光感元件120。具體來說,濾光層250的材質例如是光阻,並藉由選用不同化學性質之光阻,以阻擋不同波段之外界光線射入,進而避免外界光線射入光學觸控掃描裝置120內而對光感元件120造成干擾。 2A is a cross-sectional view of an optical touch scanning device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2A , the optical touch scanning device 201 of the present embodiment further includes a filter layer 250 disposed under the light transmissive encapsulation layer 130 and facing the light sensing element 120 . Specifically, the material of the filter layer 250 is, for example, a photoresist, and the light resistance of different chemical properties is selected to block the intrusion of light from different bands, thereby preventing external light from entering the optical touch scanning device 120. It causes interference to the light sensing element 120.

圖3A為本發明另一實施例之光學觸控掃描裝置的剖面示意圖。請參照圖3A,本實施例之光學觸控掃描裝置300還可 以包括有聚光片310,其中聚光片310具有聚光面312,進而可提高自聚光片310所出射之光線的準直性。特別的是,聚光片310可以配置於透光封裝層130與光感元件120之間,且聚光面312例如是面向光感元件120(如圖3A所示),或是面向透光封裝層130(如圖3B所示)。 3A is a cross-sectional view of an optical touch scanning device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3A, the optical touch scanning device 300 of the embodiment can also be used. The concentrating sheet 310 is included, wherein the concentrating sheet 310 has a condensing surface 312, thereby improving the collimation of the light emitted from the concentrating sheet 310. In particular, the concentrating sheet 310 can be disposed between the light transmissive encapsulating layer 130 and the light sensing element 120, and the concentrating surface 312 is, for example, facing the light sensing element 120 (as shown in FIG. 3A) or facing the light transmitting package.

In addition, in other embodiments, the concentrating sheet 310 illustrated in FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D may also be integrally formed with the light transmissive encapsulating layer 130, as shown in FIG. 3E and FIG. 3F, that is, A light collecting structure is designed on the surface of the light encapsulating layer 130 to form the same collecting surface 312 as the foregoing embodiment.

上述實施例均是將光源模組140配置於薄膜電晶體陣列基板110下方,但本發明並不限於此。在其他實施例中,光源模組140也可以配置於薄膜電晶體陣列基板110的上方。以下將舉實施例說明之。 In the above embodiments, the light source module 140 is disposed under the thin film transistor array substrate 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the light source module 140 can also be disposed above the thin film transistor array substrate 110. The embodiment will be described below.

圖4為本發明另一實施例之光學觸控掃描裝置的剖面示意圖。請參照圖4,光學觸控掃描裝置400包括薄膜電晶體陣列基板410、複數個光感元件420以及光源模組430。光感元件420設置於薄膜電晶體陣列基板410之上,光源模組430配置於薄膜電晶體陣列基板410的上方。光源模組430包括導光板431以及發光元件432。導光板431具有入光面431a、表面431b及底面431c,其中底面431c係朝向光感元件420,表面431b係與底面431c相對。發光元件432毗鄰於導光板431之入光面431a旁,其中發光元件432所發出之光線L1是由導光板431之入光面431a射入導光板431內部。特別的是,由於導光板431之表面431b並 未設計有任何光學圖案,因此當尚未有觸控物件T位於表面431b上方時,光線L1係於導光板431內以全反射路徑行進;當觸控物件T位於表面431b之接觸點R時,光線L1於導光板431內之全反射路徑受到破壞,在出射至導光板431之表面431b之接觸點R後反射光線L2抵達光感元件420。 4 is a cross-sectional view of an optical touch scanning device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4 , the optical touch scanning device 400 includes a thin film transistor array substrate 410 , a plurality of light sensing elements 420 , and a light source module 430 . The light sensing element 420 is disposed on the thin film transistor array substrate 410, and the light source module 430 is disposed above the thin film transistor array substrate 410. The light source module 430 includes a light guide plate 431 and a light emitting element 432. The light guide plate 431 has a light incident surface 431a, a surface 431b, and a bottom surface 431c, wherein the bottom surface 431c faces the light sensing element 420, and the surface 431b faces the bottom surface 431c. The light-emitting element 432 is adjacent to the light-incident surface 431a of the light-guiding plate 431. The light L1 emitted by the light-emitting element 432 is incident on the light-guide plate 431 by the light-incident surface 431a of the light guide plate 431. In particular, due to the surface 431b of the light guide plate 431 No optical pattern is designed, so when the touch object T is not located above the surface 431b, the light L1 is driven in the light guide plate 431 to travel in a total reflection path; when the touch object T is located at the contact point R of the surface 431b, the light The total reflection path of L1 in the light guide plate 431 is broken, and the reflected light L2 reaches the photosensitive element 420 after exiting to the contact point R of the surface 431b of the light guide plate 431.

進一步說明,在尚未有觸控物件T位於表面431b時,由於導光板431內部的光折射率大於外界空氣的光折射率,且光線L1出射至表面431b的入射角大於此處的臨界角,因此光線L1會於導光板431內以全反射行進。另一方面當觸控物件T接觸於表面431b之接觸點R時,由於在接觸點R處與導光板431以表面431b相隔的物體從外界空氣變為觸控物件T,其光折射率不同,因而可破壞光線L1在導光板431內部的全反射,使光線L1經由接觸點R出射後射至觸控物件T而反射抵達光感元件420。光感元件420在接收到觸控物件T所反射之光線L2後,即會根據光線L2之強度生成觸控物件T的影像訊號。 Further, when the touch object T is not located on the surface 431b, since the refractive index of the light inside the light guide plate 431 is larger than the refractive index of the outside air, and the incident angle of the light L1 to the surface 431b is larger than the critical angle here, The light ray L1 travels in the light guide plate 431 with total reflection. On the other hand, when the touch object T contacts the contact point R of the surface 431b, since the object separated from the light guide plate 431 by the surface 431b at the contact point R changes from the outside air to the touch object T, the refractive index of the light is different. Therefore, the total reflection of the light L1 inside the light guide plate 431 can be destroyed, and the light L1 is emitted through the contact point R and then incident on the touch object T to be reflected and reaches the light sensing element 420. After receiving the light L2 reflected by the touch object T, the light sensing element 420 generates an image signal of the touch object T according to the intensity of the light L2.

如同前述實施例之說明,為增加光線L1自導光板431之表面431b出射時的準直性,可在導光板431之表面431b的上方配置具有聚光特性的基板,以下將舉實施例詳述之。 As described in the foregoing embodiment, in order to increase the collimation when the light L1 is emitted from the surface 431b of the light guide plate 431, a substrate having condensing characteristics may be disposed above the surface 431b of the light guide plate 431, which will be described in detail below. It.

Referring to FIG. 5A, the optical touch scanning device 500 further includes a concentrating sheet 510 disposed above the surface 431b of the light guide plate 431 for improving the collimation of light. The concentrating sheet 510 has a condensing surface 512, and the concentrating surface 512 may be the surface 431b of the surface guiding plate 431 (as shown in FIG. 5A) or the surface 431b of the back light guiding plate 431 (as shown in FIG. 5B). .
