請參照第5A及5B圖所示,其顯示本發明第二實施例之光感測元件。相較於第一實施例之光感測元件10,該光感測元件10' 另包含一第四導線114及一放電開關124用以對該感光單元122放電以避免電荷之累積,其中該第一導線111、第二導電112、第三導線113、讀取開關121、感光單元122及充電開關123之連接方式與第一實施例相同,故於此不再贅述。該放電開關124例如可為一薄膜電晶體,並包含一控制端124a、一第一端124b及一第二端124c,其中該第一端124b及該第二端124c可分為別汲極及源極;該控制端124a係電性連接於該第四導線114,該第一端124b係電性連接於該感光單元122之控制端122a及第一端122b,該第二端124c係電性連接至該第一導線111。當該光感測元件10' 應用於液晶顯示器之讀取畫素時,該光感測元件10' 之各構件係形成於一陣列基板上。Referring to Figures 5A and 5B, there is shown a light sensing element of a second embodiment of the present invention. The photo sensing element 10 further includes a fourth wire 114 and a discharge switch 124 for discharging the photosensitive unit 122 to avoid accumulation of electric charges. A wire 111, a second conductive wire 112, a third wire 113, a read switch 121, a photosensitive unit 122, and a charging switch 123 are connected in the same manner as the first embodiment, and thus will not be described again. The discharge switch 124 can be a thin film transistor, and includes a control end 124a, a first end 124b and a second end 124c. The first end 124b and the second end 124c can be divided into other bungee The control terminal 124a is electrically connected to the fourth wire 114. The first end 124b is electrically connected to the control end 122a and the first end 122b of the photosensitive unit 122. The second end 124c is electrically connected. Connected to the first wire 111. When the light sensing element 10 ' is applied to a read pixel of a liquid crystal display, the components of the light sensing element 10 ' are formed on an array substrate.

第5A圖顯示該第一導線111同時開啟該讀取開關121及充電開關123時之示意圖,該第三導線113讀出該感光單元122感測光強度所產生之一光電流Ic。此時,該第四導線114不開啟該放電開關124,因此該放電開關124此時不作用。FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram showing the first wire 111 simultaneously opening the reading switch 121 and the charging switch 123. The third wire 113 reads out a photocurrent Ic generated by the photosensitive unit 122 from the light intensity. At this time, the fourth wire 114 does not turn on the discharge switch 124, so the discharge switch 124 does not function at this time.

第5B圖顯示該第四導線114開啟該放電開關124之示意圖。此時該第一導線111具有一低電位,例如-7伏特,而關閉該讀取開關121及充電開關123,累積於該感光單元122中之電荷則可於此期間被放電至該第一導線111。FIG. 5B shows a schematic diagram of the fourth wire 114 opening the discharge switch 124. At this time, the first wire 111 has a low potential, for example, -7 volts, and the read switch 121 and the charge switch 123 are turned off, and the charge accumulated in the photosensitive unit 122 can be discharged to the first wire during this period. 111.

可以了解的是,本發明第二實施例之光感測元件10' 亦可應用於一液晶顯示器之讀取畫素中,如第4A及第4B圖所示,此時該第一導線111及該第四導線114則分別可為兩閘極線,例如兩相鄰之閘極線Gn 、Gn+1It can be understood that the optical sensing component 10 ' of the second embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to a read pixel of a liquid crystal display, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, at this time, the first wire 111 and The fourth wires 114 can be two gate lines, for example, two adjacent gate lines G n , G n+1 .

根據本發明之另一實施態樣,為增加該光感測元件10或10' 於低光強度下之感測靈敏度,可於該充電開關123上方另設置一按壓感測結構。例如,當該光感測元件10或10' 係形成於一液晶顯示器之一陣列基板30上時,該按壓感測結構則形成於該陣列基板30之一對向基板上。According to another embodiment of the present invention, in order to increase the sensing sensitivity of the light sensing element 10 or 10 ' at low light intensity, a pressing sensing structure may be further disposed above the charging switch 123. For example, when the light sensing element 10 or 10 ' is formed on one of the array substrates 30 of a liquid crystal display, the pressing sensing structure is formed on one of the opposite substrates of the array substrate 30.

請參照第6A及6B圖所示,其顯示第3圖中沿6-6' 線之剖視圖,其包含一陣列基板30及一對向基板40,該充電開關123形成於該陣列基板30而該按壓感測結構41面對於該充電開關123形成於該對向基板40上。一種實施例中,該充電開關123例如包含一閘極層G、一閘極絕緣層1231、一通道層1232、一摻雜層1233、一源極層S、一汲極層D及一保護層1234形成於該陣列基板30上,其中各層之材質及形成方式係為習知技術,故於此不再贅述。該按壓感測結構41可由數層光阻堆疊而成之一突出結構或為一間隔物(spacer)與一電極層411所形成。例如第6A及6B圖中,該按壓感測結構41係顯示為由三層色阻R、G、B所堆疊而成,該按壓感測結構41表面另形成一電極層411。Referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B, a cross-sectional view taken along line 6-6 ' in FIG. 3 includes an array substrate 30 and a pair of substrates 40. The charging switch 123 is formed on the array substrate 30. The pressing sensing structure 41 is formed on the opposite substrate 40 with respect to the charging switch 123. In one embodiment, the charging switch 123 includes a gate layer G, a gate insulating layer 1231, a channel layer 1232, a doped layer 1233, a source layer S, a drain layer D, and a protective layer. 1234 is formed on the array substrate 30, wherein the materials and formation manner of each layer are conventional techniques, and thus will not be described herein. The pressing sensing structure 41 may be formed by stacking a plurality of layers of photoresist or forming a spacer and an electrode layer 411. For example, in the 6A and 6B drawings, the pressing sensing structure 41 is formed by stacking three layers of color resists R, G, and B, and an electrode layer 411 is further formed on the surface of the pressing sensing structure 41.

根據此結構,該通道層1232之導通狀態會受到該閘極層G之電壓與該電極層411之共同作用而影響。第6A圖係顯示該對向基板40不受外力觸壓時之剖視圖,其中該電極層411與該充電開關123之距離例如為d1;第6B圖係顯示該對向基板40受到一外力觸壓時之剖視圖,其中該電極層411與該充電開關123之距離例如變為d2。此時,該電極層411之電場將降低該通道層1232之導通狀態。因此,當一手指或觸控筆按壓該光感測元件10或10' 上方時,將降低該感光單元122所偵測之光強度而降低所產生之光電流Ic,同時該電極層411與該充電開關123之距離縮短而進一步降低該充電開關123之導通狀態而降低對該感光單元122之驅動電壓,而進一步降低所產生之光電流Ic。本實施例中,兩者效果之加乘可使得觸壓一光感測元件10或10' 時所產生之觸控信號變化更為明顯,以增加液晶顯示器之觸控靈敏度。可以了解的是所述觸控信號可為根據該光電流Ic所轉換之一電流或電壓信號,或者即為該光電流Ic。此外,該按壓感測結構41之詳細實施方式可參照申請人所持有之中華民國專利公開第200910168號所揭式之內容。According to this configuration, the conduction state of the channel layer 1232 is affected by the interaction of the voltage of the gate layer G and the electrode layer 411. 6A is a cross-sectional view showing the opposite substrate 40 when it is not pressed by an external force, wherein the distance between the electrode layer 411 and the charging switch 123 is, for example, d1; and FIG. 6B shows that the opposite substrate 40 is pressed by an external force. A cross-sectional view of the time in which the distance between the electrode layer 411 and the charging switch 123 becomes, for example, d2. At this time, the electric field of the electrode layer 411 will lower the conduction state of the channel layer 1232. Therefore, when a finger or a stylus presses the light sensing element 10 or 10 , the light intensity detected by the photosensitive unit 122 is lowered to reduce the generated photocurrent Ic, and the electrode layer 411 and the electrode layer 411 The distance of the charging switch 123 is shortened to further reduce the conduction state of the charging switch 123 to lower the driving voltage to the photosensitive unit 122, and further reduce the generated photocurrent Ic. In this embodiment, the multiplication of the two effects can make the change of the touch signal generated when the light sensing component 10 or 10 ' is touched more obvious, so as to increase the touch sensitivity of the liquid crystal display. It can be understood that the touch signal can be a current or voltage signal converted according to the photocurrent Ic, or is the photo current Ic. In addition, the detailed implementation of the press sensing structure 41 can be referred to the content disclosed in the applicant's Republic of China Patent Publication No. 200910168.

如前所述,由於習知光感測結構中之一感光單元於操作時持續受到一電壓之作用而造成長時間操作下該感光單元所產生之光電流出現衰減的現象,導致因觸碰事件所造成之光電流變化較不明顯,因而降低操作靈敏度。本發明藉由外加一充電開關以避免感光單元(如第2、5A及5B圖)持續受到電壓作用所發生之問題。此外,本發明亦可藉由增加一放電開關(如第5A及5B圖)以避免電荷累積於感光單元中;並可配合一按壓感測結構(如第6A及6B圖)以增加光線不足時之感測靈敏度。As described above, since one of the photosensitive sensing structures in the conventional light sensing structure is continuously subjected to a voltage during operation, the photocurrent generated by the photosensitive unit is attenuated due to a long-time operation, resulting in a touch event. The change in photocurrent is less pronounced, thus reducing operational sensitivity. The present invention avoids the problem that the photosensitive unit (such as Figures 2, 5A and 5B) continues to be subjected to voltage by adding a charging switch. In addition, the present invention can also prevent charge accumulation in the photosensitive unit by adding a discharge switch (such as Figures 5A and 5B); and can cooperate with a pressing sensing structure (such as Figures 6A and 6B) to increase the light deficiency. Sensing sensitivity.
