在一第一觸控模式中,紅外光發光元件230配置以在第一視野範圍FOV1內發射紅外光訊號,且當紅外光訊號抵達位於景深範圍DOF中的使用者位置後,紅外光感測器240配置以接收自使用者位置反射的紅外光訊號並輸出感測訊號。具體地,在第一觸控模式中,當使用者的手指放置於景深範圍DOF內時,使用者的手指反射從紅外光發光元件230發出的光線,而紅外光感測器240接收從使用者的手指反射的紅外光,從而形成一成像。換言之,透過將使用者的手指放置於景深範圍DOF內,使用者可以懸浮觸控本揭示的觸控顯示器10。此第一觸控模式可又稱為懸浮觸控模式。In a first touch mode, the infrared light emitting element 230 is configured to emit an infrared light signal within the first field of view FOV1, and when the infrared light signal arrives at the user's position in the depth of field DOF, the infrared light sensor 240 is configured to receive infrared light signals reflected from the user's position and output sensing signals. Specifically, in the first touch mode, when the user's finger is placed within the depth of field range DOF, the user's finger reflects the light emitted from the infrared light emitting element 230, and the infrared light sensor 240 receives the light emitted from the user's finger. The infrared light reflected by the finger, thus forming an image. In other words, by placing the user's finger within the DOF range, the user can float and touch the touch display 10 of the present disclosure. The first touch mode can also be called a floating touch mode.

值得注意的是,當使用者的手指放置於景深範圍DOF內時,紅外光光反射的成像品質最佳。而當使用者的手指沒有位於景深範圍DOF內時,紅外光感測器240無法接收從使用者的手指反射的紅外光,從而無法形成一成像。換言之,若使用者的手指離開景深範圍DOF,則不會發生懸浮觸控。It is worth noting that when the user's finger is placed within the depth of field DOF, the imaging quality of the infrared light reflection is the best. And when the user's finger is not located within the depth of field range DOF, the infrared light sensor 240 cannot receive the infrared light reflected from the user's finger, so an image cannot be formed. In other words, if the user's finger leaves the DOF range, the floating touch will not occur.

在本揭示的一些實施方式中,景深範圍DOF與第一透鏡260之間具有一第一距離d1,而景深範圍DOF與第二透鏡270之間具有一第二距離d2。在本揭示的一些實施方式中,可以透過調整第一距離d1與第二距離d2來控制景深範圍DOF的一高度h。在本揭示的一些實施例中,第一距離d1可以是2cm至10cm,例如為4 cm、6cm或8 cm。在本揭示的多個實施方式中,第二距離d2可以是2cm至10cm,例如為4 cm、6cm或8 cm。值得注意的是,當第一距離d1與第二距離d2位於上述範圍時,將可提高懸浮觸控的成像品質。In some embodiments of the present disclosure, there is a first distance d1 between the depth of field DOF and the first lens 260 , and there is a second distance d2 between the depth of field DOF and the second lens 270 . In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a height h of the depth of field DOF can be controlled by adjusting the first distance d1 and the second distance d2. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first distance d1 may be 2 cm to 10 cm, such as 4 cm, 6 cm or 8 cm. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the second distance d2 may be 2 cm to 10 cm, such as 4 cm, 6 cm or 8 cm. It is worth noting that when the first distance d1 and the second distance d2 are within the above range, the imaging quality of the hover touch can be improved.

在本揭示的多個實施方式中,在一第二觸控模式中,紅外光發光元件230不發射紅外光訊號,且光感測器250配置成接收環境光例如可見光,並輸出感測訊號。詳言之,在第二觸控模式中,使用者實際觸摸到觸控顯示器10,而光感測器250感測其上方彙集到的光輝度並產生相應的一感測訊號,以讓使用者對觸控顯示器10進行一般的觸控操作。此第二觸控模式可又稱為一般的觸控感測模式。In various embodiments of the present disclosure, in a second touch mode, the infrared light emitting element 230 does not emit an infrared light signal, and the light sensor 250 is configured to receive ambient light such as visible light and output a sensing signal. Specifically, in the second touch mode, the user actually touches the touch display 10, and the light sensor 250 senses the luminance collected above it and generates a corresponding sensing signal, so that the user can A general touch operation is performed on the touch display 10 . The second touch mode can also be referred to as a general touch sensing mode.

在本揭示的多個實施方式中,觸控顯示器10可連接至位於外部的一控制單元。請同時參照第7圖與第8圖,其中示意性地說明根據本揭示一些實施方式之觸控顯示器10的不同觸控模式的示例性驅動方式。如第7圖所示,控制單元30包含處理器310與時序控制器320。處理器310連接至時序控制器320。具體地,在一實施方式中,處理器310傳輸一指令至時序控制器320。舉例而言,指令可以是輸入訊號(Input Signal, IS)、水平同步訊號(H sync)、垂直同步訊號(V sync)、主時鐘訊號(Master Clock, MCLK)等、掃描控制訊號、數據控制訊號、發光控制訊號等。在多個實施例中,處理器310包含中央處理器、通信處理器、或高級精簡指令集(RISC)機器(Advanced RISC Machine, ARM)處理器中的至少一個,但不限於此。 In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the touch display 10 may be connected to an external control unit. Please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 at the same time, which schematically illustrate exemplary driving methods of different touch modes of the touch display 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7 , the control unit 30 includes a processor 310 and a timing controller 320 . The processor 310 is connected to a timing controller 320 . Specifically, in one embodiment, the processor 310 transmits an instruction to the timing controller 320 . For example, the command can be input signal (Input Signal, IS), horizontal synchronization signal (H sync ), vertical synchronization signal (V sync ), master clock signal (Master Clock, MCLK), scan control signal, data control signal , Luminous control signals, etc. In multiple embodiments, the processor 310 includes at least one of a central processing unit, a communication processor, or an Advanced Reduced Instruction Set (RISC) Machine (Advanced RISC Machine, ARM) processor, but is not limited thereto.

在多個實施方式中,時序控制器320接收來自處理器310的指令,並藉此控制驅動器330。舉例而言,時序控制器320可根據指令來控制驅動器330,以使得驅動器330控制發光元件340的開啟與關閉。驅動器330可例如為上述的驅動元件280,而發光元件340可例如包含上述的顯示發光元件220與紅外光發光元件230,但不限於此。具體地,驅動器330提供控制訊號,以控制形成在薄膜電晶體基板的前表面上的多條控制線(未示出),並且可以將提供的控制訊號發送到每個發光元件340連接到相應的線路(未示出)。透過上述方式,從而能夠控制觸控顯示器10進入顯示模式410、一般觸控感測模式420、或懸浮觸控感測模式430,如第8圖所示。In multiple implementations, the timing controller 320 receives instructions from the processor 310 and controls the driver 330 accordingly. For example, the timing controller 320 can control the driver 330 according to an instruction, so that the driver 330 controls the turning on and off of the light emitting element 340 . The driver 330 can be, for example, the above-mentioned driving element 280 , and the light-emitting element 340 can, for example, include the above-mentioned display light-emitting element 220 and infrared light-emitting element 230 , but is not limited thereto. Specifically, the driver 330 provides a control signal to control a plurality of control lines (not shown) formed on the front surface of the thin film transistor substrate, and may transmit the provided control signal to each light emitting element 340 connected to the corresponding wiring (not shown). Through the above method, the touch display 10 can be controlled to enter the display mode 410 , the normal touch sensing mode 420 , or the floating touch sensing mode 430 , as shown in FIG. 8 .

舉例而言,在一實施方式中,處理器310傳輸指令至時序控制器320,時序控制器320控制驅動器330以開啟顯示發光元件220與光感測器250,從而使得顯示器進入顯示模式410或一般觸控感測模式420。在另一實施方式中,處理器310傳輸指令至時序控制器320,時序控制器320控制驅動器330開啟紅外光發光元件230與紅外光感測器240,從而使得顯示器進入懸浮觸控感測模式430。上述的操作僅作為示例性說明目的,本領域中具有通常知識者當可視實際需要在不違反本揭示的精神下進行更改。For example, in one embodiment, the processor 310 transmits instructions to the timing controller 320, and the timing controller 320 controls the driver 330 to turn on the display light-emitting element 220 and the light sensor 250, so that the display enters the display mode 410 or normal Touch sensing mode 420 . In another embodiment, the processor 310 transmits instructions to the timing controller 320, and the timing controller 320 controls the driver 330 to turn on the infrared light emitting element 230 and the infrared light sensor 240, so that the display enters the floating touch sensing mode 430 . The above operations are for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art may make changes according to actual needs without violating the spirit of the present disclosure.

綜上所述,本揭示藉由在觸控顯示器10引入紅外光發光元件230與紅外光感測器240,並透過配置紅外光發光元件230與紅外光感測器240的位置讓紅外光發光元件230的第一視野範圍FOV1與紅外光感測器240的第二視野範圍FOV2具有一重疊區域OR,其中重疊區域OR包含景深範圍DOF。當使用者的手指放置於景深範圍DOF內時,使用者的手指反射從紅外光發光元件230發出的光線,而紅外光感測器240接收從使用者的手指反射的紅外光,從而形成一成像。換言之,本揭示在觸控顯示器10中引入三維成像的新穎技術手段。據此,使用者能夠對觸控顯示器10進行懸浮觸控,意即使用者不需要實際碰到觸控顯示器10的顯示面就可以操作觸控顯示器10,從而進一步拓展觸控顯示器10的應用性。To sum up, this disclosure introduces the infrared light emitting element 230 and the infrared light sensor 240 into the touch display 10, and makes the infrared light emitting element The first field of view FOV1 of the infrared sensor 230 and the second field of view FOV2 of the infrared sensor 240 have an overlapping area OR, wherein the overlapping area OR includes a depth of field DOF. When the user's finger is placed within the depth of field range DOF, the user's finger reflects the light emitted from the infrared light emitting element 230, and the infrared light sensor 240 receives the infrared light reflected from the user's finger, thereby forming an image. . In other words, the present disclosure introduces a novel technical means of three-dimensional imaging in the touch display 10 . Accordingly, the user can perform floating touch on the touch display 10, which means that the user can operate the touch display 10 without actually touching the display surface of the touch display 10, thereby further expanding the applicability of the touch display 10. .

此外當使用者的手指位於景深範圍DOF內時,紅外光發光元件230與紅外光感測器240可以具有良好的成像效果,在執行懸浮觸控模式時不容易受到外界環境光的影響。換言之,通過設置景深範圍DOF,從而讓本揭示的觸控顯示器10的懸浮觸控模式具有良好的靈敏度。In addition, when the user's finger is within the depth of field DOF, the infrared light emitting element 230 and the infrared sensor 240 can have a good imaging effect, and are less likely to be affected by external ambient light when the floating touch mode is executed. In other words, by setting the depth of field DOF, the hovering touch mode of the touch display 10 of the present disclosure has good sensitivity.
