Description

整合壓力感測功能的觸控裝置Touch device integrating pressure sensing function

本發明是有關一種觸控裝置的設計,特別是有關一種可藉由觸控壓力及其中電容值的改變以進行壓力感測的整合壓力感測功能的觸控裝置。The present invention relates to a touch device design, and more particularly to a touch device capable of integrating a pressure sensing function by pressure change and a change in a capacitance value thereof for pressure sensing.

隨著觸控功能的普及化,許多高科技產品皆具有觸控的功能,以點擊觸控的方式進行操作。若依觸控的感測方式可再細分為:電訊號,其係如電阻式、電容式及電磁式等;光訊號,其係如紅外線式等;聲訊號,其係如表面聲波式、聲波導式、色散信號式及聲脈衝式等。然而,現今的主流觸控技術係以電容式觸控為主,相較於早期的電阻式觸控,電容式為非直接接觸式觸控,具有較高的可靠性。With the popularity of touch functions, many high-tech products have touch functions, which are operated by touch-touch. According to the touch sensing method, it can be further subdivided into: electrical signal, such as resistive, capacitive and electromagnetic; optical signal, such as infrared, etc.; audio signal, such as surface acoustic wave, sound Waveguide, dispersion signal, and acoustic pulse. However, today's mainstream touch technology is based on capacitive touch. Compared with the early resistive touch, the capacitive type is non-direct contact touch and has high reliability.

目前電容式觸控,其係偵測人體手指接近觸控面板時的電容變化,以得知手指的座標位置,當手指大力按壓時,人體彈性的手指關節與皮膚將使接觸觸控面板的接觸面積變大,及再藉由演算法計算接觸面積變大是因為手指大力壓的關係,並以藉此模擬壓力的感測。但,此壓力感測方法將有兩個問題,一是若使用被動式觸控筆或其它金屬棒時,則無法同人體彈性的肌膚,而可以增加接觸到觸控面板的面積;另一則是手指的大小將會影響接觸面積的變化量。At present, the capacitive touch sensor detects the change of the capacitance when the human finger approaches the touch panel to know the coordinate position of the finger. When the finger is strongly pressed, the elastic finger joint and the skin of the human body will make contact with the touch panel. The area becomes larger, and the calculation of the contact area becomes larger by the algorithm because of the strong pressure of the fingers and the sensing of the pressure by this. However, this pressure sensing method will have two problems. One is that if a passive stylus or other metal rod is used, it cannot be the same as the skin of the human body, and the area touching the touch panel can be increased; the other is the finger. The size will affect the amount of change in the contact area.

承上所述,壓力感測的方法有可以設置在觸控筆上,藉由使用觸控筆時,因不同的施加壓力而造成觸控筆的筆尖形狀的收縮,再藉由偵測筆尖的變化以得知觸控壓力的大小,例如可以用紅外線光學閘門偵測筆尖的伸縮量,或是將壓力感測元件設置於觸控裝置,例如可以在顯示器背面增加壓力感測裝置,亦可有整面式、條狀式或是點狀式的;或是在顯示器正面增加壓力感測裝置,但為了避免影響到顯示器正面的顯示畫面區域的顯示功能,顯示器正面增加的壓力感測裝置較多為條狀式或是點狀式,而使用壓力感測的裝置有例如壓電材料、壓阻感應、電容式及薄膜電阻式等。As described above, the method of pressure sensing can be set on the stylus. When the stylus is used, the shape of the tip of the stylus is shrunk due to different applied pressure, and then the tip of the stylus is detected. Change to know the magnitude of the touch pressure. For example, the infrared optical gate can be used to detect the amount of expansion and contraction of the pen tip, or the pressure sensing component can be disposed on the touch device. For example, a pressure sensing device can be added on the back of the display, or Full-face, strip-shaped or dot-like; or add a pressure sensing device on the front of the display, but in order to avoid affecting the display function of the display area on the front of the display, more pressure sensing devices are added on the front of the display. For the strip type or the dot type, the devices using the pressure sensing include, for example, a piezoelectric material, a piezoresistive induction, a capacitive type, and a thin film resistance type.

但於一般電容式觸控裝置中,若再加裝壓力感測裝置,則會增加觸控裝置的整體厚度,即使是將顯示面板組裝於手機時的膠材,例如雙面膠(Double-Stick Attach,DSA)、泡棉(Sponge或Gasket)等材料以壓電材料取代,雖可因此不增加觸控裝置的整體厚度,但需將壓力感測裝置的訊號提供給系統端,又需再新增一線路來連接,且需要一特定IC晶片處理壓力感測訊號,無論在厚度或是新增的線路及晶片成本上,於大量生產觸控裝置時,皆係為相當可觀的成本支出。However, in a general capacitive touch device, if a pressure sensing device is added, the overall thickness of the touch device is increased, even if the display panel is assembled on the mobile phone, such as double-sided tape (Double-Stick) Attachment, DSA), foam (Sponge or Gasket) and other materials are replaced by piezoelectric materials. Although the overall thickness of the touch device cannot be increased, the signal of the pressure sensing device needs to be provided to the system, and it needs to be renewed. Adding a line to connect, and requiring a specific IC chip to process the pressure sensing signal, in terms of thickness or new line and wafer cost, is a considerable cost when mass-produced touch devices.

因此,有鑑於習知技術的缺失,本發明提出一種整合壓力感測功能的觸控裝置。Therefore, in view of the lack of the prior art, the present invention provides a touch device that integrates a pressure sensing function.

再者,由於本發明的觸控模組與習知的觸控模組結構相同,在此再詳敘說明觸控模組中的發射層與接收層對於感應壓力的差異。首先請先參照本發明第七a圖所示,第七a圖主要是描述觸控模組14的結構,因此於第七a圖中省略了蓋體、支撐層及顯示模組,觸控模組14中更包含一發射層28及接收層30,其中發射層28係位於顯示模組的導電層20上且接合至顯示模組,並與顯示模組的導電層20間產生間隙,發射層28中有複數平行排列的感應發射條,於本實施例中係有四條感應發射條282a~282d;接收層30係位於發射層28上,且具有複數平行排列的感應接收條,於本實施例中有三條感應接收條302a~302c,且接收層30的感應接收條302a~302c係與發射層28的感應發射條282a~282d交錯排列。請同時再參照第三b圖所示,當手指26按壓蓋體16導致觸控模組14與顯示模組12的導電層20的間隙22距離變小時,由於感應發射條282a~282d的間距小於0.2公厘(millimeter,mm),使發射層28的形狀類似於導電層20,則會使觸控模組14中的透明導電層無法接收到電容值訊號的增加,因此可以藉由壓力感測晶片進行切換,當偵測來自外力所施予的壓力時,接收層30則不動作,此時壓力感測晶片則偵測發射層28與導電層20間所產生的電容值及壓力的變化。Furthermore, since the touch module of the present invention has the same structure as the conventional touch module, the difference between the emission layer and the receiving layer in the touch module for sensing pressure will be described in detail herein. First, please refer to the seventh diagram of the present invention. The seventh diagram is mainly for describing the structure of the touch module 14. Therefore, the cover body, the support layer and the display module are omitted in the seventh diagram, and the touch module is omitted. The group 14 further includes an emissive layer 28 and a receiving layer 30. The emissive layer 28 is disposed on the conductive layer 20 of the display module and bonded to the display module, and generates a gap between the conductive layer 20 of the display module and the emissive layer. In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of inductive emission strips arranged in parallel, in this embodiment, four inductive emission strips 282a to 282d; the receiving layer 30 is located on the emissive layer 28, and has a plurality of inductive receiving strips arranged in parallel, in this embodiment. There are three inductive receiving strips 302a-302c, and the inductive receiving strips 302a-302c of the receiving layer 30 are interleaved with the inductive strips 282a-282d of the emissive layer 28. Referring to FIG. 3b at the same time, when the finger 26 presses the cover 16 and the distance between the touch module 14 and the conductive layer 20 of the display module 12 becomes smaller, the spacing of the inductive emission strips 282a-282d is smaller than 0.2 mm (millimeter, mm), the shape of the emissive layer 28 is similar to that of the conductive layer 20, so that the transparent conductive layer in the touch module 14 can not receive the increase of the capacitance value signal, so the pressure sensing can be performed. The wafer is switched. When the pressure applied by the external force is detected, the receiving layer 30 does not operate. At this time, the pressure sensing wafer detects the change in the capacitance value and the pressure generated between the emission layer 28 and the conductive layer 20.

另,請再參照本發明第七b圖所示,第七b圖主要也是描述觸控模組14的結構,因此於第七b圖中也省略了蓋體、支撐層及顯示模組,觸控模組14中更包含一發射層28及接收層30,其中發射層28係位於顯示模組的導電層20上且接合至顯示模組,並與顯示模組的導電層20間產生間隙,發射層28中有複數平行排列的感應發射條,於本實施例中係有四條感應發射條282e~282h;接收層30係位於發射層28上,且具有複數平行排列的感應接收條,於本實施例中有三條感應接收條302d~302f,且接收層30的感應接收條302d~302f係與發射層28的感應發射條282e~282h交錯排列,本發明第七a圖與第七b圖的差異僅在於感應發射條的間距不同,發射層28的感應發射條282e~282h的間距的範圍則在1~3 mm之間,間距距離比本發明第七a圖大,壓力感測晶片則可以直接偵測接收層30及導電層20所受到如手指的外力或其他外力所造成的壓力及電容值的改變。In addition, please refer to the seventh b diagram of the present invention. The seventh b diagram mainly describes the structure of the touch module 14, so that the cover body, the support layer and the display module are also omitted in the seventh b diagram. The control module 14 further includes an emissive layer 28 and a receiving layer 30. The emissive layer 28 is disposed on the conductive layer 20 of the display module and bonded to the display module, and has a gap with the conductive layer 20 of the display module. The emissive layer 28 has a plurality of inductive strips arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, there are four inductive strips 282e-282h; the receiving layer 30 is located on the emissive layer 28, and has a plurality of inductive receiving strips arranged in parallel. In the embodiment, there are three sensing receiving strips 302d-302f, and the sensing receiving strips 302d-302f of the receiving layer 30 are interleaved with the inductive emitting strips 282e-282h of the emissive layer 28, and the seventh and seventh bth views of the present invention. The difference is only in the difference of the spacing of the inductive strips. The spacing of the inductive strips 282e~282h of the emissive layer 28 is between 1 and 3 mm. The spacing distance is larger than the seventh graph of the present invention, and the pressure sensing wafer can be Directly detecting that the receiving layer 30 and the conductive layer 20 are exposed as a finger Or changes in pressure and capacitance values caused by other external forces.

綜上所述,本發明的整合壓力感測功能的觸控裝置可以藉由顯示模組上的導電層與觸控模組間的間隙距離變化進行壓力感測,並在顯示模組中輸入特定頻率訊號以更容易區別出手指所產生的電容值訊號與感測到壓力所造成的電容值訊號,另外支撐層的設置除了上述的兩種不同的結構以外,還可以安裝在蓋體與系統機殼間。透過本發明的整合壓力感測功能的觸控裝置可以省去習知技術中的壓力感測裝置,以減少整體結構的厚度且省去昂貴的製造成本。In summary, the touch device with integrated pressure sensing function of the present invention can perform pressure sensing by changing the gap distance between the conductive layer and the touch module on the display module, and input specific in the display module. The frequency signal makes it easier to distinguish between the capacitance value signal generated by the finger and the capacitance value signal caused by the sensed pressure. In addition to the above two different structures, the support layer can also be installed on the cover body and the system machine. Between the shells. Through the touch device integrating the pressure sensing function of the present invention, the pressure sensing device in the prior art can be omitted to reduce the thickness of the overall structure and save expensive manufacturing costs.
