Description

指紋觸控裝置及其驅動方法Fingerprint touch device and driving method thereof

本發明是有關於一種面板的驅動技術,特別是一種指紋觸控裝置及其驅動方法。The invention relates to a driving technology of a panel, in particular to a fingerprint touch device and a driving method thereof.

觸控面板可依其偵測觸控點的物理原理,主要分為電阻式(resistive)觸控面板及電容(capacitive)式觸控面板兩種。電阻式觸控面板係用手指或觸控筆輕按就會產生電壓;而電容式觸控面板係以手指接觸面板而吸取微小的電流方式操作。其中,目前又以電容式觸控面板較為廣泛使用。The touch panel can be mainly divided into a resistive touch panel and a capacitive touch panel according to the physical principle of detecting the touch point. A resistive touch panel is lightly pressed with a finger or a stylus to generate a voltage; and a capacitive touch panel is operated by a finger touching the panel to draw a small current. Among them, capacitive touch panels are widely used at present.

再者,電容式觸控面板又以自感或互感的方式來偵測觸控事件。互感的方式是使用具有偵測出X方向的座標之第一電極,以及用以偵測出Y方向的座標之第二電極,並需經過第一電極與第二電極搭配以完成偵測。而自感的方式則是經由每一電極本身的電壓傳送與接收來完成偵測。由於,在施加有電壓之電極上形成電場,此時,若以手指等碰觸時,接觸位置經由人體的靜電電容而接地。結果會在電極的端子與接觸位置之間產生電容值的變化,進而取得觸控位置的座標。Furthermore, the capacitive touch panel detects touch events in a self-inductive or mutual sense manner. The way of mutual inductance is to use a first electrode having a coordinate detecting the X direction and a second electrode for detecting a coordinate in the Y direction, and the first electrode and the second electrode are matched to complete the detection. The self-inductive method is to perform detection by voltage transmission and reception of each electrode itself. Since an electric field is formed on the electrode to which the voltage is applied, at this time, when a finger or the like is touched, the contact position is grounded via the electrostatic capacitance of the human body. As a result, a change in the capacitance value is generated between the terminal of the electrode and the contact position, thereby obtaining the coordinates of the touch position.

請參照圖1,其繪示為本發明一實施例之指紋觸控裝置的架構圖,在本發明的第一實施例中,指紋觸控裝置100包括:掃描線G1~Gm、資料線D1~Dm、共同電位線Vcom、掃描驅動電路10、感測單元11及處理電路12。呈矩陣排列的感測單元11係分別電性耦接掃描線G1~Gm、資料線D1~Dm與共同電位線Vcom。掃描驅動電路10電性耦接掃描線G1~Gm,掃描驅動電路10用以提供掃描線G1~Gm掃描脈衝。處理電路12電性耦接資料線D1~Dm與共同電位線Vcom。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a fingerprint touch device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In a first embodiment of the present invention, the fingerprint touch device 100 includes: scan lines G1 G Gm and data lines D1 〜 Dm, a common potential line Vcom, a scan driving circuit 10, a sensing unit 11, and a processing circuit 12. The sensing units 11 arranged in a matrix are electrically coupled to the scan lines G1 G Gm, the data lines D1 D Dm and the common potential line Vcom, respectively. The scan driving circuit 10 is electrically coupled to the scan lines G1 G Gm, and the scan driving circuit 10 is configured to provide scan lines G1 G Gm scan pulses. The processing circuit 12 is electrically coupled to the data lines D1 DDm and the common potential line Vcom.

圖2為第一實施例之感測單元11的電路圖。圖3為圖2之感測單元11的訊號時序圖。請合併參照圖1至圖3,感測單元11包括電晶體T1及儲存電容Cst,電晶體T1具有第一端、第二端及控制端,控制端用以電性耦接掃描線,而第一端電性耦接資料線。儲存電容Cst的一端電性耦接第二端,而另一端電性耦接共同電位線Vcom。FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the sensing unit 11 of the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a timing diagram of signals of the sensing unit 11 of FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the sensing unit 11 includes a transistor T1 and a storage capacitor Cst. The transistor T1 has a first end, a second end, and a control end. The control end is electrically coupled to the scan line. One end is electrically coupled to the data line. One end of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically coupled to the second end, and the other end is electrically coupled to the common potential line Vcom.

特別注意的是,處理電路12用以在掃描脈衝的致能期間中提供資料線至少一驅動脈衝,且每一驅動脈衝的致能期間小於掃描脈衝的致能期間。此外,在掃描線G1~Gm的掃描脈衝的致能期間中,且每一驅動脈衝的致能期間結束後,處理電路12讀取感測單元11的感測資料,藉此,處理電路12依據所讀取的感測資料偵測指紋觸控裝置100是否發生指紋接觸事件,並根據感測資料建構成的資料畫面得到指紋圖案。It is particularly noted that the processing circuit 12 is configured to provide at least one drive pulse of the data line during the enable period of the scan pulse, and the enable period of each drive pulse is less than the enable period of the scan pulse. In addition, during the enable period of the scan pulse of the scan lines G1 G Gm, and after the enable period of each drive pulse ends, the processing circuit 12 reads the sensing data of the sensing unit 11, whereby the processing circuit 12 is based on The read sensing data detects whether the fingerprint touch device 100 has a fingerprint contact event, and obtains a fingerprint pattern according to the data frame constructed by the sensing data.

舉例而言,如圖3A所示,處理電路12用以在掃描線Gm的掃描脈衝P10的致能期間中提供資料線Dm驅動脈衝P11而對儲存電容Cst充電,並且資料線Dm在驅動脈衝P11結束後為低準位,因而儲存電容Cst會在期間t11放電,再藉由資料線Dm讀取後傳送至處理電路12,因而處理電路12讀取感測單元11且得到感測資料。For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the processing circuit 12 is configured to supply the data line Dm driving pulse P11 to charge the storage capacitor Cst during the enable period of the scan pulse P10 of the scan line Gm, and the data line Dm is at the driving pulse P11. After the end, it is low level, so the storage capacitor Cst will be discharged during the period t11, and then read by the data line Dm and then sent to the processing circuit 12, so the processing circuit 12 reads the sensing unit 11 and obtains the sensing data.

在一些實施例中,共同電位線Vcom可耦接至零電位或接地電位,於此,若感測單元11未被觸碰,則所偵測的感測資料為儲存電容Cst在期間t11放電的電位。反之,若感測單元11被手指觸碰時,則接觸位置經由人體接地而響應一感應電容,進而使得處理電路12所讀取的感測資料會大於所提供的驅動脈衝P11,而判斷發生指紋接觸事件。In some embodiments, the common potential line Vcom can be coupled to a zero potential or a ground potential. If the sensing unit 11 is not touched, the detected sensing data is discharged by the storage capacitor Cst during the period t11. Potential. On the other hand, if the sensing unit 11 is touched by the finger, the contact position responds to a sensing capacitance via the grounding of the human body, so that the sensing data read by the processing circuit 12 is greater than the provided driving pulse P11, and the fingerprint is determined to occur. Contact event.

在一些實施例中,共同電位線Vcom可耦接至非零電位,較佳的,可提供共同電位線Vcom與其對應的資料線一個致能時間與電壓大小皆相同的驅動脈衝,於此,若感測單元11未被觸碰,則於期間t11中,在儲存電容Cst的兩端為等電位的情況下偵測得到感測資料,其中儲存電容Cst的兩端近乎等於零電流。反之,若感測單元11被手指觸碰時,則接觸位置經由人體接地而響應一感應電容,進而使得所偵測感測單元11的感測資料將為明顯不等於零的電位,因而判斷發生指紋接觸事件。In some embodiments, the common potential line Vcom can be coupled to a non-zero potential. Preferably, the common potential line Vcom and the corresponding data line can be provided with a driving pulse having the same enabling time and voltage magnitude. When the sensing unit 11 is not touched, in the period t11, the sensing data is detected when the two ends of the storage capacitor Cst are equipotential, wherein both ends of the storage capacitor Cst are nearly equal to zero current. On the other hand, if the sensing unit 11 is touched by the finger, the contact position responds to a sensing capacitance via the grounding of the human body, so that the sensing data of the detected sensing unit 11 will be a potential that is not significantly equal to zero, thereby determining that the fingerprint occurs. Contact event.

再者,在掃描線G1~Gm的掃描脈衝的致能期間中,處理電路12可提供資料線D1~Dm一個或多個驅動脈衝。如圖3B所示,於掃描線Gm的掃描脈衝P10的致能期間中,在提供驅動脈衝P12至資料線Dm後,資料線Dm於期間t12中讀取感測單元11的感測資料,並處理電路12還可進行再一次的偵測而提供驅動脈衝P13至資料線Dm,且資料線Dm於期間t13中讀取感測單元11的感測資料。處理電路12藉由在掃描線Gm的掃描脈衝的致能期間中透過資料線Dm多次的偵測而可增加準確性,並有更豐富的感測資料以建構資料畫面得到指紋圖案。然本發明不以此為限,可依實際實施情形而調整在掃描脈衝的致能期間中透過資料線偵測的次數。Furthermore, during the enable period of the scan pulses of the scan lines G1 G Gm, the processing circuit 12 can provide one or more drive pulses for the data lines D1 D Dm. As shown in FIG. 3B, in the enable period of the scan pulse P10 of the scan line Gm, after the drive pulse P12 is supplied to the data line Dm, the data line Dm reads the sensing data of the sensing unit 11 in the period t12, and The processing circuit 12 can also perform the detection again to provide the driving pulse P13 to the data line Dm, and the data line Dm reads the sensing data of the sensing unit 11 in the period t13. The processing circuit 12 can increase the accuracy by detecting the multiple times of the data line Dm during the enable period of the scan pulse of the scan line Gm, and has more abundant sensing data to construct a data picture to obtain a fingerprint pattern. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of times of detecting through the data line during the enable period of the scan pulse can be adjusted according to the actual implementation.

進一步說明,圖4為當本發明之感測單元11發生指紋接觸事件時的示意圖。請合併參照圖1及圖4,當指紋觸控裝置100中的感測單元11被手指觸碰時,施加於與感測單元11相應設置的玻璃蓋板上的手指與玻璃蓋板的表面會形成感應電容Cf,而相應的感測單元11會響應感應電容Cf,並且感應電容Cf的一端如同耦接至感測單元11的第二端,另一端接地。基於手指的指紋紋路係具有波峰及波谷,並且由指紋的波峰響應的感應電容Cf所充的電荷值會大於指紋的波谷響應的感應電容Cf所充的電荷值。因此,當處理電路12讀取各個相應指紋接觸事件的感測單元11的感測資料後,就可以根據各個不同的電荷值建構出一個或多個指紋圖案。在本發明的實施例中,由於指紋觸控裝置100具有至少為200dpi至508dpi的解析度,最佳為508dpi的解析度而有足夠的感測資料以利於建構資料畫面。Further, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a fingerprint contact event of the sensing unit 11 of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 , when the sensing unit 11 in the fingerprint touch device 100 is touched by a finger, the surface of the finger and the glass cover applied to the glass cover corresponding to the sensing unit 11 will be The sensing capacitor Cf is formed, and the corresponding sensing unit 11 responds to the sensing capacitor Cf, and one end of the sensing capacitor Cf is coupled to the second end of the sensing unit 11, and the other end is grounded. The finger-based fingerprint line has peaks and troughs, and the charge value charged by the peak-responsive sensing capacitance Cf of the fingerprint is greater than the charge value charged by the sensing capacitance Cf of the valley's valley response. Therefore, after the processing circuit 12 reads the sensing data of the sensing unit 11 of each corresponding fingerprint contact event, one or more fingerprint patterns can be constructed according to the different different charging values. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the fingerprint touch device 100 has a resolution of at least 200 dpi to 508 dpi, and preferably has a resolution of 508 dpi, there is sufficient sensing data to facilitate constructing a data screen.

在前述的第一實施例中,資料線提供驅動脈衝至各感測單元後,再由同一資料線讀取各感測單元的感測資料並傳送至處理電路。圖5A為本發明第二實施例之指紋觸控裝置200的架構圖。圖5B為本發明第二實施例之感測單元11a的電路圖。特別注意的是,第二實施例之感測單元11a與第一實施例之感測單元不同之處在於,資料線提供驅動脈衝至各感測單元11a後,係由同一感測單元11a的讀取線來讀取各感測單元11a的感測資料並傳送至處理電路。In the foregoing first embodiment, after the data line supplies the driving pulse to each sensing unit, the sensing data of each sensing unit is read by the same data line and transmitted to the processing circuit. FIG. 5A is a structural diagram of a fingerprint touch device 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5B is a circuit diagram of the sensing unit 11a according to the second embodiment of the present invention. It is to be noted that the sensing unit 11a of the second embodiment is different from the sensing unit of the first embodiment in that the data line provides a driving pulse to each sensing unit 11a, and is read by the same sensing unit 11a. Lines are taken to read the sensing data of each sensing unit 11a and transmitted to the processing circuit.

如圖5A所示,呈矩陣排列的感測單元11a係分別電性耦接掃描線G1~Gm、資料線D1~Dm與讀取線R11~Rmm。如圖5 B所示,感測單元11a包括電晶體T1、電晶體T2及儲存電容Cst,電晶體T1具有第一端、第二端及第一控制端,第一控制端用以電性耦接掃描線Gm,而第一端電性耦接資料線Dm。儲存電容Cst的一端電性耦接第二端。電晶體T2具有第三端、第四端及第二控制端,第二控制端電性耦接掃描線Gm,第三端電性耦接儲存電容Cst的另一端,第四端電性耦接讀取線Rmm,並且讀取線Rmm電性耦接至處理電路12以傳送感測資料。As shown in FIG. 5A, the sensing units 11a arranged in a matrix are electrically coupled to the scan lines G1 G Gm, the data lines D1 D Dm, and the read lines R11 R Rmm, respectively. As shown in FIG. 5B, the sensing unit 11a includes a transistor T1, a transistor T2, and a storage capacitor Cst. The transistor T1 has a first end, a second end, and a first control end. The first control end is electrically coupled. The scan line Gm is connected, and the first end is electrically coupled to the data line Dm. One end of the storage capacitor Cst is electrically coupled to the second end. The transistor T2 has a third end, a fourth end, and a second control end. The second end is electrically coupled to the scan line Gm, and the third end is electrically coupled to the other end of the storage capacitor Cst. The fourth end is electrically coupled. The line Rmm is read, and the read line Rmm is electrically coupled to the processing circuit 12 to transmit the sensing data.

圖5C為圖5B之感測單元11a的訊號時序圖。請合併參照圖5A及圖5C,處理電路12用以在掃描線Gm的掃描脈衝P10的致能期間中提供資料線Dm驅動脈衝P14而對儲存電容Cst充電,並且資料線Dm在驅動脈衝P14結束後為低準位,因而儲存電容Cst會放電並且在期間t14由讀取線Rmm讀取後傳送至處理電路12,藉此,處理電路12讀取感測單元11a以得到感測資料。FIG. 5C is a signal timing diagram of the sensing unit 11a of FIG. 5B. Referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5C together, the processing circuit 12 is configured to supply the data line Dm driving pulse P14 to charge the storage capacitor Cst during the enable period of the scan pulse P10 of the scanning line Gm, and the data line Dm ends at the driving pulse P14. After that, the storage capacitor Cst is discharged and is transferred from the read line Rmm to the processing circuit 12 during the period t14, whereby the processing circuit 12 reads the sensing unit 11a to obtain the sensing data.

圖6為本發明第三實施例之感測單元11b的電路圖。感測單元11b包括電晶體T1及金屬片13。感測單元11b與第一實施例之感測單元的驅動及讀取感測資料的方式大致上相同,不同之處在於,電晶體T1的第二端電性耦接金屬片13。具體而言,合併參照圖6及圖3A,處理電路用以在掃描線Gm的掃描脈衝P10的致能期間中提供資料線Dm驅動脈衝P11,此時若在尚未發生指紋接觸事件的情況下不會有感應電容Cf,而金屬片13則是處在浮接狀態下,因而資料線Dm在讀取後所傳送至處理電路的感測資料可能是一些浮動的數值。然而,因指紋的波峰響應的感應電容Cf所充的電荷值會明顯大於指紋的波谷響應的感應電容Cf所充的電荷值,以致於當發生指紋接觸事件的情況下,相應指紋接觸事件之多個相鄰的感測單元之間的感測資料的變化將會呈現明顯的差值。因此,處理電路讀取感測單元11b的感測資料後,即判斷是否有多個相鄰的感測單元11b之間的感測資料的變化大於一預設門檻值,若為是則判斷發生指紋接觸事件。如此一來,多個相鄰的感測單元11b之間的感測資料的變化大於預設門檻值的部分將建構成指紋的波峰紋路的圖案。Fig. 6 is a circuit diagram of a sensing unit 11b according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The sensing unit 11b includes a transistor T1 and a metal piece 13. The sensing unit 11b is substantially the same as the driving and reading of the sensing data of the sensing unit of the first embodiment, except that the second end of the transistor T1 is electrically coupled to the metal piece 13. Specifically, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 3A, the processing circuit is configured to provide the data line Dm driving pulse P11 during the enabling period of the scanning pulse P10 of the scanning line Gm, if the fingerprint contact event has not occurred yet. There will be a sensing capacitor Cf, and the metal piece 13 is in a floating state, so the sensing data transmitted by the data line Dm to the processing circuit after reading may be some floating value. However, the charge value charged by the sensing capacitor Cf of the peak response of the fingerprint is significantly larger than the charge value of the sensing capacitor Cf of the valley response of the fingerprint, so that when a fingerprint contact event occurs, the corresponding fingerprint contact event is The change in the sensed data between adjacent sensing units will exhibit a significant difference. Therefore, after the processing circuit reads the sensing data of the sensing unit 11b, it is determined whether the change of the sensing data between the plurality of adjacent sensing units 11b is greater than a preset threshold, and if yes, the determination occurs.

The fingerprint touch device 300 further includes a switch unit 21 or/and 22, which can be used by using the switch unit 21/22.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art should know the sensing unit architecture of the second embodiment. The switch unit can also be used in combination with a fingerprint touch device having the sensing unit of the second embodiment or the third embodiment. In addition, the operation of the fingerprint touch device 300, the detection of the fingerprint contact event, and the operation of constructing the fingerprint pattern are the same as those of the first embodiment to the third embodiment, and thus are not described herein.

請參照圖7,開關單元21具體可為多個一對多的開關電路,輸入端用以接收掃描驅動電路10提供的掃描脈衝,輸出端係電性耦接掃描線G1~Gm,而形成n個輸入端與m個輸出端,且可知n與m皆為正整數且n小於m。Referring to FIG. 7, the switch unit 21 may be a plurality of one-to-many switch circuits. The input end is configured to receive the scan pulse provided by the scan driving circuit 10, and the output end is electrically coupled to the scan lines G1 G Gm to form n. Inputs and m outputs, and it can be seen that n and m are both positive integers and n is less than m.

在一些實施例中,隨著掃描驅動電路10所發出的掃描脈衝來控制開關電路的導通,例如:開關電路將一個掃描脈衝提供給一百條掃描線,其中所述的一百條掃描線於實際實施上正好約為得到一個指紋圖案所需驅動掃描線的範圍。基於前述,當掃描驅動電路10僅提供部分的掃描脈衝至開關電路,如僅偶數移位暫存器提供掃描脈衝,而快速的判斷是否發生指紋接觸事件。在一些實施例中,當判斷發生指紋接觸事件時,處理電路12可依邏輯設計來控制開關電路的導通,如開關電路可依序地將掃描脈衝傳送至掃描線,並讀取各個相應指紋接觸事件的感測單元的感測資料而建構出指紋圖案。In some embodiments, the switching circuit is controlled to turn on with the scan pulse emitted by the scan driving circuit 10. For example, the switching circuit supplies one scan pulse to one hundred scan lines, wherein the one hundred scan lines are The actual implementation is just about the range of drive scan lines needed to get a fingerprint pattern. Based on the foregoing, when the scan driving circuit 10 supplies only a part of the scan pulse to the switch circuit, such as only the even shift register provides the scan pulse, and quickly determines whether a fingerprint contact event occurs. In some embodiments, when it is determined that a fingerprint contact event occurs, the processing circuit 12 can be logically designed to control the conduction of the switching circuit, such as the switching circuit can sequentially transmit the scan pulse to the scan line, and read each corresponding fingerprint contact. A fingerprint pattern is constructed by sensing data of the sensing unit of the event.

Between each multiplexer has n input terminals and m output terminals, and the input end of the demultiplexer is used to receive the scan pulse provided by the scan driving circuit 10, and the output end of the demultiplexer is electrically connected. The scanning lines G1 to Gm are coupled. In some embodiments, the plurality of demultiplexers are electrically coupled between the processing circuit 12 and the data lines D1 DDm, and the demultiplexer has n inputs and m outputs, and is demultiplexed. The input end of the multiplexer 22 is electrically coupled to the data lines D1 D Dm. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that if the switching unit is implemented by a multi-stage demultiplexer, the input signal of the switching unit will be less than that of the single-stage demultiplexer. In addition, those skilled in the art should also be able to understand various aspects of the multiplexer, for example, a pair of four solution multiplexers or three pairs of eight solution multiplexers, which are not described herein. When the switching unit is implemented by the demultiplexer, if the demultiplexer is enabled, the input of the demultiplexer receives a scan pulse provided by the scan driving circuit 10, Multiple outputs of the demultiplexer are passed to the scan line. In some embodiments, processing circuit 12 can be logically designed to control the various select lines of the demultiplexer in order to sequentially transmit scan pulses to the scan lines.

請合併參照圖7及圖8A,在一實施例中,在掃描線G1的掃描脈衝的致能期間中,處理電路12透過開關單元22依序地傳送驅動脈衝至資料線D1~Dm,並且在每一資料線D1~Dm的驅動脈衝的致能期間結束後,處理電路12透過同一資料線讀取感測單元11的感測資料。藉此,處理電路12可依序地接收感測資料,而偵測是否發生指紋接觸事件,並根據建構成的資料畫面得到指紋圖案。Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8A together, in an embodiment, during the enable period of the scan pulse of the scan line G1, the processing circuit 12 sequentially transmits the drive pulse to the data lines D1 to Dm through the switch unit 22, and After the enabling period of the driving pulse of each of the data lines D1 to Dm ends, the processing circuit 12 reads the sensing data of the sensing unit 11 through the same data line. Thereby, the processing circuit 12 can sequentially receive the sensing data, detect whether a fingerprint contact event occurs, and obtain a fingerprint pattern according to the constructed data screen.

請合併參照圖7及圖8B,在一實施例中,透過將資料線劃分為多個群組,且所述的各個群組得以在每一掃描線的掃描脈衝的致能期間中依序地傳送驅動脈衝。詳言之,在掃描線G1的掃描脈衝的致能期間中,處理電路12透過開關單元22同時傳送驅動脈衝至資料線D1~D(m/n),並且在資料線D1~D(m/n)的驅動脈衝的致能期間結束後,資料線D1~D(m/n)同時讀取感測單元11的感測資料。接著,開關單元22再同時傳送驅動脈衝至資料線D(m/n +1)~D(m*2/n),並且在資料線D(m/n +1)~D(m*2/n)的驅動脈衝的致能期間結束後,資料線D(m/n +1)~D(m*2/n)同時讀取感測單元11的感測資料。是以,同理可知在每一掃描線的掃描脈衝的致能期間中,多個群組依序地傳送驅動脈衝至資料線,且經由多個群組分次來讀取感測單元的感測資料,因而後序群組的操作過程在此不再贅述。Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8B together, in an embodiment, the data lines are divided into a plurality of groups, and the respective groups are sequentially in the enable period of the scan pulses of each scan line. The drive pulse is transmitted. In detail, during the enable period of the scan pulse of the scan line G1, the processing circuit 12 simultaneously transmits the drive pulse to the data lines D1 to D (m/n) through the switch unit 22, and at the data lines D1 to D (m/). After the end of the enable period of the drive pulse of n), the data lines D1 to D (m/n) simultaneously read the sensing data of the sensing unit 11. Then, the switching unit 22 simultaneously transmits the driving pulse to the data line D(m/n +1)~D(m*2/n), and in the data line D(m/n +1)~D(m*2/ After the end of the enable period of the drive pulse of n), the data line D(m/n +1)~D(m*2/n) simultaneously reads the sensing data of the sensing unit 11. Therefore, similarly, in the enable period of the scan pulse of each scan line, the plurality of groups sequentially transmit the drive pulse to the data line, and read the sense of the sensing unit via the plurality of groups. The data is measured, so the operation process of the subsequent group will not be described here.

此外,開關單元22可經由多個一對多的開關電路來實現,或者經由多個解多工器(單級或多級)來實現。再者,前述雖是以掃描線G1來說明,但熟悉本領域技術者在參閱前述實施例後應可知,開關單元21是對掃描脈衝傳輸到掃描線的安排,而開關單元22是控制資料線讀取感測資料的方式,因此本發明的指紋觸控裝置藉由開關單元21與開關單元22的配置可達到驅動部分的掃描線並控制部分的資料線讀取感測資料。Furthermore, the switching unit 22 can be implemented via a plurality of one-to-many switching circuits or via a plurality of demultiplexers (single or multiple stages). Furthermore, although the foregoing description is based on the scanning line G1, it should be understood by those skilled in the art after referring to the foregoing embodiments that the switching unit 21 is an arrangement for transmitting a scan pulse to a scanning line, and the switching unit 22 is a control data line. The manner of reading the sensing data, the fingerprint touch device of the present invention can reach the scanning line of the driving part by the configuration of the switching unit 21 and the switching unit 22 and control the data line of the control part to read the sensing data.

圖9為本發明另一實施例之指紋觸控裝置的開關單元的配置示意圖,請參照圖9,指紋觸控裝置400還包含開關單元23或/及22,開關單元23係位於處理電路12和掃描驅動電路10之間。開關單元23與圖8所述的開關單元21具有相似的操作原理,在圖9中,處理電路12藉由控制開關電路23的導通而將控制訊號,例如是高準位的訊號,發送至掃描驅動電路10,掃描驅動電路10中的各級移位暫存器隨著其啟始訊號端接收各開關電路23的高準位訊號而輸出掃描脈衝。是以,處理電路12可依邏輯設計來控制開關電路23的輸出,以致於掃描驅動電路10僅對部分的掃描線提供掃描脈衝,而快速的判斷是否發生指紋接觸事件。再者,開關電路可依序地將掃描脈衝傳送至掃描線。或者,藉由開關單元23與開關單元22的配置可達到驅動部分的掃描線並控制部分的資料線讀取感測資料。FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a configuration of a switch unit of a fingerprint touch device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9 , the fingerprint touch device 400 further includes a switch unit 23 or/and 22 , and the switch unit 23 is located in the processing circuit 12 and Between the scan drive circuits 10. The switching unit 23 has a similar operating principle as the switching unit 21 of FIG. 8. In FIG. 9, the processing circuit 12 sends a control signal, such as a high-level signal, to the scan by controlling the conduction of the switching circuit 23. In the driving circuit 10, each stage shift register in the scan driving circuit 10 outputs a scan pulse as the start signal terminal receives the high level signal of each switch circuit 23. Therefore, the processing circuit 12 can be logically designed to control the output of the switching circuit 23, so that the scan driving circuit 10 supplies scan pulses only to a part of the scanning lines, and quickly determines whether a fingerprint contact event occurs. Furthermore, the switching circuit can sequentially transmit the scan pulse to the scan line. Alternatively, the scanning line of the driving portion can be reached by the configuration of the switching unit 23 and the switching unit 22, and the sensing data of the data line of the control portion can be read.

Specifically, it is assumed that there are two thousand scan lines of the fingerprint touch device, and it is assumed that the scan lines are divided into twenty groups, that is, each output of the scan driving circuit 10 can be coupled through the switch unit 21 Up to one hundred scanning lines, and the processing circuit 12 can output twenty control signals to the scan driving circuit 10 through the switching unit 23. Thereby, the processing circuit 12 can control the switching unit 21 to sequentially transmit the scan pulse to the scan line according to the logic design, or only control the signal of the control unit of the switch unit 23 to be a high level signal and the switch unit 21 follows the scan. The scan pulse sent by the driving circuit 10 controls the conduction of the switch circuit to provide a scan pulse only to a part of the scan lines to quickly determine whether a fingerprint contact event occurs, or after detecting a fingerprint contact event, The corresponding range is used to expand the scanning and the scanning line of the driving portion can be reached by the configuration of the switching unit 21, the switching unit 22 and the switching unit 23, and the sensing data of the control portion of the control portion is read.

本發明的指紋觸控裝置可經由其掃描線、資料線與感測單元的佈置,使處理電路讀取各個感測單元的感測資料後得以判斷指紋接觸事件並足以根據感測資料建構相應指紋接觸事件的指紋圖案。並且,掃描驅動電路還可僅對部分的掃描線提供掃描脈衝而快速的判斷是否發生指紋接觸事件。The fingerprint touch device of the present invention can determine the fingerprint contact event by reading the sensing data of each sensing unit through the arrangement of the scan line, the data line and the sensing unit, and is sufficient to construct the corresponding fingerprint according to the sensing data. The fingerprint pattern of the contact event. Moreover, the scan driving circuit can also provide a scan pulse to only a part of the scan lines to quickly determine whether a fingerprint contact event occurs.
