Description

力影像觸控板及顯示器
本發明通常有關電子系統輸入裝置,而更明確而言,有關力影像及位置與力影像互電容系統。
許多觸摸感測裝置可用於電腦系統、個人數位助理、行動電話、遊戲系統、音樂系統等(即,電子系統)。或許,多年來當作鍵盤與位置指示器使用的電阻薄膜位置感測器是眾所周知。其他類型觸摸感測裝置包括電阻板、表面聲波裝置、基於電阻、電容的觸摸感測器、應變計、電磁感測器或壓力感測器、與光學感測器。因為使它們操作所需的壓力本質上會在指狀物與感測器表面之間建立黏滯力(stiction),所以壓力靈敏位置感測器在過去已對當作一指向裝置(相對於一資料登錄或寫入裝置)使用已提供小的效益。在大部分,此黏滯力已使此裝置變成不流行。
由於可攜式裝置與附帶的成長流行需要將全部輸入功能整合在單一形狀因數,所以觸控板現在是最流行且廣泛使用輸入裝置類型之一。操作上,觸控板可歸類為"電阻"或"電容"。在電阻觸控板中,觸控板係使用一薄金屬導電層與電阻層加以塗布。當觸摸觸控板時,導電層會經由電阻層接觸而造成電阻變化(典型係如電流變化而測量),其係用來識別觸摸事件是在觸控板何處發生。在電容觸控板中,一第一組導電線路是在第一方向運行,並由來自在第二方向(通常垂直於該第一方向)運行的一第二組導電線路的一介電絕緣體所隔離。藉由重疊導電線路形成的格柵可建立儲存電荷的電容器陣列。當一物體接近或接觸該觸控板時,在此位置的電容器的電容會改變。此變化可用來識別觸摸事件的位置。
將觸控板當作輸入裝置使用的一缺點在於他們通常不提供壓力或力資訊。力資訊可用來獲得使用者如何操作裝置的更健全指示。即,力資訊可作為另一輸入大小的使用,用以將命令與控制信號提供給一相關的電子裝置。因此,提供一力測量系統作為一部分觸控板輸入裝置是有好處的。
在一具體實施例中,本發明可提供一力靈敏觸控板,其包括藉由一彈簧薄膜分開的第一與第二組導電線路。當施加一力時,彈簧薄膜會變形,以使兩組線路移動更靠在一起。結果的互電容變化可用來產生一作用力的位置(相對於觸控板的表面)與力量或強度的影像表示。在另一具體實施例中,本發明提供一組合的位置與力靈敏觸控板,包括兩組驅動線路、一組感測線路、與一彈簧薄膜。操作上,該等驅動線路之一係與感測線路組搭配使用,以產生一或多個物體觸摸觸控板的影像。第二組驅動線路係與感測線路與彈簧薄膜搭配使用,以產生作用力的力量或強度、及相對於觸控板表面位置的影像。根據本發明,力觸控板及位置與力觸控板可合併在各種電子裝置,有助於提高使用者操縱陣列的辨識。
在另一具體實施例中,描述的力感測架構係用來實施一顯示器,以偵測使用者將力施加到一顯示器(例如,一液晶顯示器單元)的數量。根據本發明的此具體實施例的顯示單元可用於有助於提高使用者輸入陣列的辨識。
下面說明係允許熟諳此技術者可如文後的申請專利範圍製作及使用本發明,並在下面討論的特別範例本文中提供(用於個人電腦系統的觸控板輸入裝置),其變化對於熟諳此技術者是容易明白。因此,關於此的文後申請專利範圍並未受到揭示具體實施例的限制,而是符合最寬廣的範圍,且與在此揭示的原理與特徵相一致。經由範例,除了應用在例如電腦工作站、行動電話、手持式數位助理、與各種機器與系統(機械、電氣與電子)的數位控制面板的個人電腦系統之外,根據本發明的力影像系統同樣可應用在電子裝置。
參考圖1,根據本發明描述的力偵測器的一般觀念可在觸控板裝置100中執行。如前述,該力偵測器100包含裝飾層105、感測層110(包括導電路徑115與電連接器120)、介電彈簧層125(包括空間偏移凸起結構130)、驅動層135(包括導電路徑140與電連接器145)與基底或支撐物150(熟諳此技術者可明白連接器120和145分別在層110和135上提供每一導電線路的唯一連接)。
裝飾層105係扮演保護系統的其他元件避免周圍情況(例如灰塵與溼氣),而且,此外,提供使用者與偵測器100互動的表面。在感測層110上的導電路徑115係配置重疊在驅動層135上的導電路徑140,藉此形成電容器,其導電板(導電路徑115和140)係藉由感測層基板110、介電彈簧層125與凸起結構130分開。介電彈簧層125與凸起結構130係共同建立一機構,其中當一力施加於該裝飾層105時,感測層110的導電路徑115會更靠近驅動層135的導電路徑140。可辨識分離的變化會造成在感測層與驅動層導電路徑(115和140)之間的互電容改變(增加),其中變化係表示施加在裝飾層105的力之數量、強度或力量。基底或支撐層150提供用於力偵測器100的結構完整性。
參考圖2A,力偵測器100的斷面圖是在其無負載或"無力"狀態中顯示。在此狀態中,在感測層110與驅動層135導電路徑(115和140)之間的互電容會造成一穩定狀態或靜電容信號(當經由圖1的連接器120和145測量)。參考圖2B,當外力200施加於裝飾層105、介電彈簧層125會變形,使得感測層110會移到更靠近驅動層135。此接著會在感測與驅動層之間造成互電容變化(增加),即一變化係大約單調地與兩者間的距離有關,且因此係與作用力200的強度或力量有關。更明確而言,在操作期間,線路140(在驅動層135上)係每次電激勵一次,且可測量與激勵線路與線路115之每一者(在感測層110上)有關的互電容。如此,可獲得施加於裝飾層105的力200的力量或強度的影像。如前述,此互電容變化可透過適當電路加以決定。
參考圖3,其係顯示利用力偵測器觸控板100的力影像系統300之方塊圖。如所述,力影像系統300包含力偵測器100,其係透過連接器120(用於感測信號310)和145(用於驅動信號315)耦合至觸控板控制器305。觸控板控制器305依序週期性將信號傳送給主機處理器320,其代表施加於偵測器100的力之(空間)分佈。主機處理器320可解譯力資訊,以執行指定的命令與控制動作(例如,選擇在顯示單元325上顯示的物件)。
請即參考圖4,在操作期間,在觸控板控制器305中的驅動電路400係透過驅動信號315及連接器145依序傳送("驅動")一電流給複數個驅動層導電路徑140(參考圖1)之每一者。因為電容耦合,所以一些電流係運送到複數個感測層導電路徑115之每一者(參考圖1)。感測電路405(例如,電荷放大器)偵測來自感測信號310(經由連接器120)的類比信號,並將他們傳送給分析電路410。分析電路410的一功能係將偵測的類比電容值轉換成數位形式(例如,透過類比至數位轉換器)。分析電路的另一功能係佇列複數個數位化電容值,用以傳送給主機處理器320(參考圖3)。分析電路的另一功能係控制驅動電路400,及可能動態調整感測電路的操作405(例如,例如藉由改變偵測"電容變化"的臨界值)。適合使用在本發明控制器305的一具體實施例係由Steve Hotelling、Christoph Krah與Brian Huppi在2006年3月15日所申請的美國專利申請案序列號10/999,999名稱"Multipoint Touch Screen Controller"中揭示,其在此係以引用方式併入本文。
在另一具體實施例中,根據本發明的一力偵測器係與一電容位置偵測器組合,以建立提供位置與力偵測的一觸控板裝置。參考圖5,組合的位置與力偵測器500包含裝飾層505、電路板或基板510(包括在一第一表面上的第一複數個導電驅動路徑515與在第二表面上的複數個感測路徑520)、介電彈簧層525(包括交互、或空間偏移凸起結構530)、驅動層535(包括第二複數個導電驅動路徑)與基底或支撐物540。在一具體實施例中,導電驅動路徑515和535係分別放置在基板510與支撐物540上以形成列,且感測導電路徑係放置在基板510上以形成行。因此,在操作期間,第一驅動路徑515會於第一時間週期中驅動(每次一次),且於此相同時間中,感測路徑520會被詢問,以獲得代表一或多個裝飾層觸摸位置的一影像。同樣地,第二驅動路徑535會於第二時間週期中驅動(每次一次),且於此相同時間中,感測路徑520會被再次詢問,以獲得代表此時施加於裝飾層505的力之力量或強度的一影像。基於互電容原理而用於觸摸偵測的電腦輸入裝置(例如觸控板)操作是在由Steve Hotelling、Joshua A. Strickon與Brian Q. Huppi發表的美國專利申請案序列號10/840,862名稱"Multipoint Touchscreen"中描述,其在此係以引用方式併入本文。
參考圖6,根據本發明的另一具體實施例,位置與力觸控板600係以斷面顯示。在此具體實施例中,裝飾層605包含一聚酯或聚碳酸酯薄膜。層610包含一以丙烯酸酯為主的壓力靈敏或紫外線光固化型黏著劑。層615的功能如同雙面電路板,其具有在一"上"表面上朝一第一方向(即,朝向該裝飾層605)的第一複數個導電驅動線路620、與在一"下"表面上朝一第二方向的複數個導電感測線路625。在一具體實施例中,電路基板層615包含例如聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯("PET")的一低溫塑膠或熱塑性樹脂。在此具體實施例中,驅動線路620與感測線路625包含印刷銀墨。在另一具體實施例中,電路基板層615包含一彈性電路板、或玻璃纖維或玻璃,且驅動與感測線路(620和625)包含氧化銦錫("ITO")或銅。在一具體實施例中,層630包含一分層組合,其係由黏性PET黏著劑(adhesive-PET-adhesive)所組成,其中黏著劑組件係如上述的層610。層635、640和645包含改變厚度的PET。如圖所示,層640的"底"表面係附著第二複數個導電驅動線路650,且其朝向係實質上與第一導電驅動線路620相同的方位。凸起與空間偏移支撐結構655與層660亦包含一分層組合,且由黏性PET黏著劑所組成(類似層630,參考上述)。層605至660係附著至基底或加強板665,並由其所支撐。例如,在一可攜式或筆記型電腦系統中,基底665可從例如由一部分電腦系統框架的金屬沖壓的剛性材料形成。同樣地,基底665可為一個人數位助理或行動電話的內框。表1係識別用於觸控板600之一具體實施例的層600至660之每一者的厚度。
操作上,由於透過在驅動線路620與感測線路625之間的互電容而在一或多個位置上觸摸的裝飾層605,所以觸控板600可測量電容變化(例如,減少)。在如上述的方式中,當感測線路625與驅動線路650透過在他們間的互電容測量變化(例如,增加)而更靠近時,觸控板600亦可測量施加於裝飾層的力。在此具體實施例中,凸起結構655係使用在驅動線路(650)的第二層兩端,以提供額外的運動偵測能力。
在測量操作期間,驅動線路620的每一者依序激勵;同時,測量在驅動線路620與感測線路625之間的互電容變化。只要驅動線路620的每一者已激勵(且經由感測線路625測量的對應電容變化),驅動線路650的每一者會依序驅動,且感測線路625可用來決定與力(即,由於作用力,在線路625與650之間的互電容變化)有關的互電容變化。依此方式,可獲得"觸摸"輸入與"力"輸入裝飾層605的一影像。
熟諳此技術者認知不需要上述的"掃描"序列。例如,驅動線路620和650能夠以重疊方式激勵,使得在驅動線路620中的一第一線路可激勵,依序在驅動線路650中的一第一線路650、在驅動線路620中的一第二線路620等。或者,在驅動線路620中的一群線路可先激勵,依序係在驅動線路650中的一群線路等。
在一具體實施例中,驅動線路620(與觸摸位置測量操作有關)係使用來自驅動線路650(與力測量操作有關)與感測線路625(在位置與力測量操作期間所使用)的一不同幾何。參考圖7,可看出驅動線路620利用導電線路,其係使用內部浮動板結構700;此外,係實際大於在感測線路625與驅動線路650(在描述的具體實施例中,兩者具有相同實際大小/結構)中使用的導電線路。已發現到此組態可提供增加的靈敏度,用於決定一或多個物體(例如,一觸控筆)是在何處觸摸,或造成更靠近裝飾表面605。
參考圖8A,在根據本發明(觸控板800)的一組合觸摸與力靈敏觸控板的另一具體實施例中,凸起結構655可藉由滾珠或聚合物滾珠805(亦稱為橡膠或彈性體點)取代。在此具體實施例中,滾珠805係以類似凸起結構655的方式操作(參考圖6)。如圖所示,滾珠805係放置在一薄黏性層810,並按照尺寸製成,以當無作用力存在時,可將層630和640保持在指定距離。滾珠805的一說明設計與間隔是在圖8B(俯視圖)和8C(斷面圖)顯示。表2係識別不同於先前說明觸控板600的觸控板800之每一組件的大約尺寸。
參考圖9A,在仍然根據本發明(觸控板900)的一組合觸摸與力靈敏觸控板的另一具體實施例中,係使用變形滾珠或彈性體點905的單一層。在觸控板900中,薄黏性層910係將滾珠以機械耦合至觸控板結構的其餘部分,並將結構本身耦合至基底665。變形滾珠905的一說明設計與間隔係在圖9B(俯視圖)和9C(斷面圖)顯示。表3係識別不同於先前說明觸控板600的觸控板900的每一組元件的大約尺寸。
參考圖10A,在根據本發明(觸控板1000)的一組合觸摸與力靈敏觸控板的另一具體實施例中,彈簧薄膜1005可取代凸起結構(例如530和655)或變形滾珠(例如805和905)使用。在觸控板1000中,薄黏性層1010係將PET彈簧1005機械耦合至層635和640、以及將層645機械耦合至基底665。參考圖10B,在一具體實施例中,彈簧薄膜包含PET的單一波紋板,其上升比率(即a/b)典型係在大約10:1至50:1的範圍。由於例如觸控板表面的實際大小、指定給完全偏移的重量(例如200克)、及對使用者呈現想要"堅硬"感覺的各種因素,所以熟諳此技術者可認知在任何給定具體實施例中所使用的精確值可改變。表4係識別不同於先前說明觸控板600的觸控板1000的每一組件的大約尺寸。
參考圖11A,在另一具體實施例中,波紋彈簧薄膜1005可由波紋彈簧薄膜1105取代。在此實施中,彈簧薄膜1105係單一薄板變形材料(例如,PET),且其具有透過例如熱或真空形成技術而在其上面形成的波紋。圖11B和11C係顯示兩可能波紋配置的俯視圖。波紋薄膜1105的兩說明設計(俯視圖)係在圖11B和11C顯示。如在圖11A至11C的使用,"+"符號係代表一凸起區域,且"-"符號係代表一凹處區域。表5係識別在圖11A中指定的大約尺寸"a"至"e"。
材料、組件與電路元件的各種變化係可能的,而不致脫離下面申請專利範圍的範疇。例如,根據圖1至10描述的驅動線路與感測線路係正交。然而,驅動線路及與感測線路切割或相交的方式通常取決於所使用的坐標系統。在笛卡爾坐標系統中,例如,感測線路係與驅動線路正交,藉此形成具有不同的x和y坐標節點。或者,在極坐標系統中,感測線路可為同心圓,而驅動線路可為輻射延伸線(或者,反之亦然)。
此外,在圖1和2的具體實施例中,驅動層135與驅動線路140(因此,連接器145)可合併在彈簧薄膜125之內或在彈簧薄膜125之上。即,驅動線路140可安置在彈性薄膜125的表面或在其表面上蝕刻。同樣地,驅動線路535可合併成為一部分彈性薄膜525(參考圖5)。
熟諳此技術者亦認知根據圖8和9的滾珠(參考圖8和9)亦可取代凸起結構130、530和655的使用(參考圖1、2A、2B、5和6)。同樣地,彈簧機構1005(參考圖10)和1105(參考圖11)可取代滾珠805(參考圖8)、變形滾珠805和905(參考圖8和9)或凸起結構130、530和655(參考圖1、5和6)的使用。
參考圖12A,在另一具體實施例中,根據本發明的力偵測可合併在一顯示器單元而不是一觸控板。例如,根據本發明,系統1200包括合併力偵測能力的處理器1205、標準輸入-輸出("I/O")裝置1210(例如,鍵盤、滑鼠、觸控板、搖桿與語音輸入)與顯示器1215。參考圖12B,在此具體實施例中,顯示器1215包括顯示元件1220、顯示元件電子器件1225、力元件1230與力電子器件1235。依此方式,使用者1240可透過作用力元件1230觀看顯示器1200的顯示器元件1220。藉由範例,顯示器元件1220與電子器件1225可包含一傳統液晶顯示("LCD")顯示器。力元件1230可包含只有力感測器(例如,類似圖1和2的具體實施例)或一力與位置感測器(例如,類似圖5至11的具體實施例)。力電子器件1235可包含如圖4所述的處理電路。即,力電子器件1235可驅動及感測如根據本發明觸控板所述的互電容信號。
熟諳此技術者可認知當應用在顯示器1215時,描述的力偵測技術可使用例如由ITO(即,並非不透明的銅)提供的透明或實質上透明的驅動與感測線路。同樣地,在用來偵測一作用力(參考上述)的第一層線路(例如,驅動線路)與第二層線路(例如,感測線路)之間的間隙應該是透明或實質上透明。例如,可壓縮透明間隔物可用來執行偏移的凸起結構130、支撐結構655、變形滾珠805、905或彈簧薄膜1005、1105。
