In addition, the substrate 123 rests on One side of the near protective glass 125 may further include other members such as a polarizing plate and an iron frame.

在本實施例中,矩陣基板122係指具有畫素矩陣,用以顯示影像之基板,例如液晶顯示面板中之薄膜電晶體基板,有機發光二極體面板、發光二極體面板、電泳顯示面板或MEMS顯示面板等之矩陣基板等。矩陣124可包含複數行電極、複數列電極、以及複數畫素電極,該等行電極係與該等列電極交錯設置。另外,矩陣124可為主動式矩陣(active matrix)或為被動式矩陣(passive matrix),於此,矩陣124係以主動式矩陣為例,其可更包含複數電晶體,分別與該等行電極、該等列電極、以及該等畫素電極電性連接。In this embodiment, the matrix substrate 122 refers to a substrate having a pixel matrix for displaying images, such as a thin film transistor substrate in a liquid crystal display panel, an organic light emitting diode panel, a light emitting diode panel, and an electrophoretic display panel.

以下以觸控用途為例,說明本實施例之實施方式。如圖1及圖2所示,當操作裝置11在顯示面121上操作時,一編碼訊號ES係從矩陣基板122耦合至操作裝置11,操作裝置11接收編碼訊號ES而得到一傳送訊號TS。於此,編碼訊號ES隱含有矩陣顯示裝置12關於顯示螢幕之座標,使得傳送訊號TS隱含有座標資訊,而耦合則係可包含矩陣基板122傳送編碼訊號ES至操作裝置11時,大致上是無線的方式,形成一種近場(Near Field)的訊號傳送。當然,若為其他應用,則編碼訊號可由任一欲傳送之資訊所構成,例如觸控資訊、指令資訊、識別資訊、交易資訊或檔案資訊(音樂、圖片、文字等等),使得傳送訊號TS含有對應的資訊。Hereinafter, an embodiment of the embodiment will be described by taking a touch application as an example. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when the operating device 11 is operated on the display surface 121, an encoded signal ES is coupled from the matrix substrate 122 to the operating device 11, and the operating device 11 receives the encoded signal ES to obtain a transmitted signal TS. In this case, the encoded signal ES implicitly includes the coordinates of the matrix display device 12 on the display screen such that the transmitted signal TS implicitly contains coordinate information, and the coupling may include the matrix substrate 122 transmitting the encoded signal ES to the operating device 11, substantially It is a wireless way to form a Near Field signal transmission. Of course, for other applications, the encoded signal can be composed of any information to be transmitted, such as touch information, command information, identification information, transaction information or file information (music, pictures, text, etc.), so that the signal TS is transmitted. Contains the corresponding information.

編碼訊號ES係施加在矩陣基板122上,而矩陣基板122上當然也另外施加顯示用之資料訊號以顯示影像。編碼訊號ES可例如在顯示資料訊號施加的空檔時間(blanking time)來施加,例如兩圖框(frame)之間、或兩行電極掃描之間、或者藉縮短顯示資料訊號施加時間以產生空檔、或者在顯示資料訊號上直接疊加一高於顯示資料訊號頻率之訊號。The coded signal ES is applied to the matrix substrate 122, and of course, the data signal for display is additionally applied to the matrix substrate 122 to display the image. The coded signal ES can be applied, for example, at a blanking time applied by the display data signal, for example, between two frames, or between two rows of electrode scans, or by shortening the display data signal application time to generate an empty space. A file, or a signal higher than the frequency of displaying the data signal, is directly superimposed on the displayed data signal.

以下,以液晶顯示裝置之薄膜電晶體基板(TFT substrate)作為矩陣基板122來說明編碼訊號ES與傳送訊號TS。Hereinafter, the coded signal ES and the transmission signal TS will be described using the TFT substrate of the liquid crystal display device as the matrix substrate 122.

圖3為本實施例所使用之薄膜電晶體基板的示意圖。請同時參照圖2及圖3,矩陣124可包含複數行電極S1 ~SM 、複數列電極D1 ~DN 、以及複數畫素電極E11 ~EMN ,該等行電極係與該等列電極交錯設置,且實質上相互垂直或夾一角度。另外,矩陣124可更包含複數電晶體T11 ~TMN ,分別與該等行電極S1 ~SM 、該等列電極D1 ~DN 、以及該等畫素電極E11 ~EMN 電性連接。於此,行電極S1 ~SM 即所謂的掃描線,列電極D1 ~DN 即所謂的資料線。另外,基板123上可更設置驅動模組,其中包含資料驅動電路、掃描驅動電路、時序控制電路(圖未顯示)以及珈瑪校正電路(圖未顯示),藉由驅動模組之驅動可使液晶顯示面板顯示影像。由於驅動模組對於影像的驅動為習知技術,於此就不再說明。另外,此態樣之矩陣基板僅為舉例說明,並非用以限制本發明。本實施例之重點在於,利用 行電極S1 ~SM 及/或列電極D1 ~DN 自矩陣基板傳送編碼訊號至操作裝置,以產生傳送訊號。注意,編碼訊號可以隱含不同訊息以對應不同之應用,從顯示螢幕之參考座標到個人資料、音樂、圖片等各種格式的檔案資料,均可隱含於編碼訊號中傳送。3 is a schematic view of a thin film transistor substrate used in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 simultaneously, the matrix 124 may include a plurality of row electrodes S 1 -S M , a plurality of column electrodes D 1 -D N , and a plurality of pixel electrodes E 11 -E MN , and the row electrode systems and the same The column electrodes are staggered and are substantially perpendicular or at an angle to each other. In addition, the matrix 124 may further include a plurality of transistors T 11 -T MN , respectively, and the row electrodes S 1 -S M , the column electrodes D 1 -D N , and the pixel electrodes E 11 -E MN Sexual connection. Here, the row electrodes S 1 to S M are so-called scanning lines, and the column electrodes D 1 to D N are so-called data lines. In addition, a driving module can be further disposed on the substrate 123, and includes a data driving circuit, a scanning driving circuit, a timing control circuit (not shown), and a gamma correction circuit (not shown), which can be driven by the driving module. The LCD panel displays the image. Since the driving of the image by the driving module is a conventional technique, it will not be described here. In addition, the matrix substrate of this aspect is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit the present invention. The focus of this embodiment is to transmit the encoded signal from the matrix substrate to the operating device by using the row electrodes S 1 -S M and/or the column electrodes D 1 -D N to generate a transmission signal. Note that the encoded signal can imply different messages to correspond to different applications. From the reference coordinates of the display screen to the file data of various formats such as personal data, music, pictures, etc., it can be implicitly transmitted in the encoded signal.

在本實施例中,列電極D1 ~DN 除了可傳送顯示畫面之資料訊號之外,亦可傳送編碼訊號。例如,在顯示資料訊號上直接疊加一高於顯示資料訊號頻率之編碼訊號或在其傳送顯示資料訊號的空檔時間,例如所有行電極S1 ~SM 掃描完後在接續下一次掃描之前的時間(圖框與圖框之間的空檔時間);或是在一條行電極掃描完成且在下一條開始掃描之前;或是在每一條行電極掃描時間內藉縮短顯示資料並在傳送顯示資料訊號之前等。於此,編碼訊號可由擴展時序控制(T-con)電路功能以及資料或掃描驅動電路來提供,以簡化電路設計。In this embodiment, the column electrodes D 1 -D N can transmit the encoded signals in addition to the data signals of the display screen. For example, a display signal signal is directly superimposed with a coded signal higher than the frequency of displaying the data signal or a neutral time at which the display data signal is transmitted, for example, after all the row electrodes S 1 to S M are scanned, before the next scan is continued. Time (the gap time between the frame and the frame); either before a line electrode scan is completed and before the next one starts scanning; or during each line electrode scan time, the display data is shortened and the data signal is transmitted. Waiting before. Here, the encoded signal can be provided by extended timing control (T-con) circuit functions as well as data or scan drive circuits to simplify circuit design.

圖4為其中相鄰二行電極與相鄰二列電極的訊號示意圖。行電極S1 ~SM 分別傳送掃描訊號SS依序使每一列的電晶體開啟,而在每一列電晶體被開啟的時間中,各列電極D1 ~DN 分別傳送編碼訊號ES與顯示資料訊號DS。以下,僅就以垂直於列電極方向之一維觸控為例,同時以時序編碼方式,說明編碼訊號ES。同法亦可施行在垂直於行電極方向上,如此可構成一完整之二維平面觸控。在本實施例中,如圖4所示,在一行電極傳送其掃描訊號時,僅有一列電極傳送編碼訊號ES。在圖中此編碼訊號FS是以 與顯示資料訊號DS不同位準方式標示之,實施時亦可以相同之位準為之。此外,該等編碼訊號ES係以相同極性為例,並且於此,該等編碼訊號ES與該等顯示資料訊號DS具有相同極性;在其他實施例中,該等編碼訊號ES與該等顯示資料訊號DS可具有相反極性,亦即該等編碼訊號ES具有與該等顯示資料訊號DS類似之極性反轉特性,以避免長時間操作下產生一同極性的直流偏壓進而影響顯示畫質。4 is a schematic diagram of signals of adjacent two rows of electrodes and adjacent two columns of electrodes. The row electrodes S 1 -S M respectively transmit the scanning signals SS to sequentially turn on the transistors of each column, and in the time when each column of transistors is turned on, the column electrodes D 1 -D N respectively transmit the encoded signals ES and display data. Signal DS. Hereinafter, the coded signal ES will be described by taking the one-dimensional touch control perpendicular to the column electrode direction as an example and timing coding. The same method can also be applied perpendicular to the direction of the row electrodes, thus forming a complete two-dimensional planar touch. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when one row of electrodes transmits their scanning signals, only one column of electrodes transmits the encoded signal ES. In the figure, the coded signal FS is marked in a different level from the display data signal DS, and can be implemented in the same level. In addition, the coded signals ES are exemplified by the same polarity, and the coded signals ES have the same polarity as the display data signals DS; in other embodiments, the coded signals ES and the display materials The signal DS can have opposite polarities, that is, the coded signals ES have polarity reversal characteristics similar to those of the display data signals DS, so as to avoid a DC bias of the same polarity under long-term operation and thus affect the display image quality.

如此,各列電極上所傳送之編碼訊號的時序圖可如圖5所示(省略顯示用之資料訊號),列電極D1 ~DN 隨著行電極傳送掃描訊號時,分別傳送編碼訊號ES1~ESN。需補充說明,上述編碼訊號可以分別在不同的列電極上傳送,亦可以數條列電極傳送同一個編碼訊號,例如列電極D1 ~D3 都傳送編碼訊號ES1;同樣的原則亦可適用於行電極所傳之編碼訊號。此外,行電極與列電極所傳之編碼訊號可各自獨立成一系統。由於列電極係依序傳送編碼訊號ES,因此尚須一時間基準點,藉由與基準點比較即可得知列電極位置。此基準點可以是一特殊編碼以相同方式傳送,例如,所有列電極都傳送兩個1後再開始依序傳送。依上述方式,操作裝置耦合到的編碼訊號例如為110010000,即可得知操作裝置位在第三條列電極上,因此可推算出操作裝置的座標(X座標)。同法,操作裝置的Y座標可經由另一組施加於行電極之編碼訊號得知。另外由於行電極為驅動顯示資料訊號所施加的掃描訊號本身 即依序產生,因此可將掃描訊號視為本發明之行電極之編碼訊號。行電極之編碼訊號所需之基準點可以與列電極共用,例如都使用顯示畫面用之水平或垂直同步訊號。當然,列電極D1 ~DN 與行電極S1 ~SM 亦可另外傳送較複雜的編碼訊號,於此不再贅述。In this way, the timing chart of the encoded signal transmitted on each column electrode can be as shown in FIG. 5 (the data signal for display is omitted), and the column electrodes D 1 to D N respectively transmit the encoded signal ES1 when the row electrode transmits the scanning signal. ~ESN. It should be added that the above coded signals can be transmitted on different column electrodes respectively, or a plurality of column electrodes can transmit the same coded signal. For example, the column electrodes D 1 to D 3 can transmit the coded signal ES1; the same principle can also be applied to The encoded signal transmitted by the row electrode. In addition, the coded signals transmitted by the row electrodes and the column electrodes can be independently formed into a system. Since the column electrodes sequentially transmit the coded signal ES, it is necessary to obtain a reference point for a time, and the column electrode position can be known by comparison with the reference point. This reference point can be a special code transmitted in the same way, for example, all column electrodes transmit two 1s before starting the sequential transmission. In the above manner, the coded signal to which the operating device is coupled is, for example, 110010000, and the operating device is located at the third column electrode, so that the coordinates (X coordinate) of the operating device can be derived. In the same way, the Y coordinate of the operating device can be known via another set of encoded signals applied to the row electrodes. In addition, since the scanning signals applied by the row electrodes for driving the display data signals are sequentially generated, the scanning signals can be regarded as the encoded signals of the row electrodes of the present invention. The reference point required for the coded signal of the row electrode can be shared with the column electrode, for example, using horizontal or vertical sync signals for the display screen. Of course, the column electrodes D 1 -D N and the row electrodes S 1 -S M may additionally transmit more complicated coded signals, and details are not described herein.

另外,本實施例之編碼訊號之責任週期(duty cycle)係小於資料訊號之責任週期,藉此以維持顯示品質。In addition, the duty cycle of the encoded signal in this embodiment is less than the duty cycle of the data signal, thereby maintaining display quality.

當使用者拿著操作裝置11於矩陣顯示裝置12之顯示面121上操作時(例如碰觸到顯示面或靠近顯示面),編碼訊號可從矩陣基板122藉由電容耦合至操作裝置11。由於本實施例係以列電極D1 ~DN 傳送編碼訊號ES為例,因此列電極作為電容耦合之其中一電極,而操作裝置11上具有電容耦合之另一電極,例如操作裝置11為一觸控筆時,筆尖含有一導體做為電容耦合之另一電極。When the user operates the display device 121 on the display surface 121 of the matrix display device 12 (e.g., touches the display surface or approaches the display surface), the encoded signal can be capacitively coupled from the matrix substrate 122 to the operating device 11. For example, the column electrode D 1 -D N transmits the coded signal ES as an example, so that the column electrode serves as one of the capacitive coupling electrodes, and the operating device 11 has another electrode capacitively coupled, for example, the operating device 11 is When the stylus is used, the tip contains a conductor as the other electrode for capacitive coupling.

在操作裝置11藉由電容耦合接收到編碼訊號ES之後,操作裝置11依據編碼訊號ES進行處理而得到一傳送訊號TS。這處理可包括對編碼訊號ES進行放大及/或解碼,以解讀出哪一條列電極被觸控、或是解讀出觸控位置、或是解讀出觸控手勢(筆勢)、或是解讀出觸控所對應的功能指令等。注意,編碼訊號ES是以電容耦合至操作裝置11,此電容大小與操作裝置與顯示面之距離有關,亦即由訊號大小可以得到Z軸資訊,故操作裝置11可以得到的不僅是平面之二維座標,亦包括與平面距離之Z座標。據此,所謂傳送訊號TS的涵蓋範圍可以是從對編碼 訊號ES的單純放大到最後處理成動作指令。After the operating device 11 receives the encoded signal ES by capacitive coupling, the operating device 11 processes the encoded signal ES to obtain a transmitted signal TS. The processing may include amplifying and/or decoding the encoded signal ES to interpret which column electrode is touched, or to interpret the touch position, or to interpret the touch gesture (hand gesture), or to interpret the touch The function instructions corresponding to the control. Note that the coded signal ES is capacitively coupled to the operating device 11. The size of the capacitor is related to the distance between the operating device and the display surface, that is, the Z-axis information can be obtained from the signal size, so that the operating device 11 can obtain not only the plane 2 The dimensional coordinates also include the Z coordinate with the plane distance. Accordingly, the coverage of the so-called transmission signal TS can be from the pair coding The signal ES is simply amplified to the last processed into an action command.

接著,在操作裝置11產生傳送訊號TS之後,操作裝置11可藉由有線方式或無線方式、或電性耦接(包含電容耦合)或光學耦接而將傳送訊號TS傳送至矩陣顯示裝置12或其他中繼裝置或此視覺介面系統以外之其他裝置,於此係以直接傳送至矩陣顯示裝置12為例。Then, after the operating device 11 generates the transmission signal TS, the operating device 11 can transmit the transmission signal TS to the matrix display device 12 by wire or wirelessly, or electrically coupled (including capacitive coupling) or optically coupled. Other relay devices or other devices other than the visual interface system are exemplified by direct transmission to the matrix display device 12.

當本發明應用於其他非觸控用途時,先將欲傳遞之訊息依照特定原則編碼成編碼訊號ES,再由矩陣基板122(例如包含在手機或平板電腦中)藉由電容耦合至操作裝置11(例如固定在牆上的近距離無線讀取裝置)。同樣地,操作裝置11依據所設定之原則對編碼訊號ES進行處理(例如解碼及/或修改資料)而得到傳送訊號TS,再依各自用途使用傳送訊號TS,例如應用於門禁、購物及金融交易、檔案傳送等。When the present invention is applied to other non-touch applications, the message to be transmitted is first encoded into the encoded signal ES according to a specific principle, and then coupled to the operating device 11 by the matrix substrate 122 (for example, included in a mobile phone or a tablet). (eg a close-range wireless reader fixed to the wall). Similarly, the operating device 11 processes (for example, decodes and/or modifies data) the encoded signal ES according to the set principle to obtain the transmission signal TS, and then uses the transmission signal TS according to the respective use, for example, for access control, shopping and financial transactions. , file transfer, etc.

上述係以操作裝置11處理而得到傳送訊號TS已具有之資訊,例如觸控資訊、指令資訊、識別資訊、交易資訊、檔案資訊或其他資訊等等。另外,在其他實施例中,矩陣顯示裝置12可處理傳送訊號TS而得到一資訊訊號,該資訊訊號才具有觸控資訊、指令資訊、識別資訊、交易資訊、檔案資訊或其他資訊,即資訊訊號才含有完整資訊。The above is processed by the operating device 11 to obtain information that the transmission signal TS already has, such as touch information, command information, identification information, transaction information, file information or other information. In addition, in other embodiments, the matrix display device 12 can process the transmission signal TS to obtain an information signal, and the information signal has touch information, command information, identification information, transaction information, file information or other information, that is, information signals. Only complete information is included.

承上所述,請參照圖1所示,從編碼訊號ES耦合至操作裝置11而產生傳送訊號TS,然後傳送訊號TS再傳送至矩陣顯示裝置12而得到資訊訊號的過程中,訊號經過了一些處理,例如放大與解碼,而這些處理過程可集中 或分散於操作裝置11或矩陣顯示裝置12,使得傳送訊號TS具有觸控資訊、指令資訊、識別資訊、交易資訊、檔案資訊或其他資訊、或是資訊訊號具有觸控資訊、指令資訊、識別資訊、交易資訊、檔案資訊或其他資訊。As described above, referring to FIG. 1, the signal is transmitted from the coded signal ES to the operating device 11 to generate the transmission signal TS, and then the signal TS is transmitted to the matrix display device 12 to obtain the information signal. Processing, such as amplification and decoding, and these processes can be concentrated Or the operating device 11 or the matrix display device 12, such that the transmission signal TS has touch information, command information, identification information, transaction information, file information or other information, or the information signal has touch information, instruction information, identification information , trading information, file information or other information.

另外,操作裝置11與矩陣顯示裝置12之間更可傳送一反應(Response)訊號RS,反應訊號RS可為一訊息通知矩陣顯示裝置12關於操作裝置11的接收狀態;亦可為一訊息通知操作裝置11準備接收訊號;亦可為一操作裝置11與矩陣顯示裝置12之間同步用訊號。如此可在訊號發射與接收之間建立一互動交談機制。另外,反應訊號RS亦可兼做兩者同步功能,以構成一訊息交握(information handshaking)過程。In addition, a response signal RS can be transmitted between the operating device 11 and the matrix display device 12. The response signal RS can be used to notify the matrix display device 12 of the receiving state of the operating device 11 or a message notification operation. The device 11 is ready to receive signals; it can also be a synchronization signal between the operating device 11 and the matrix display device 12. This creates an interactive chat mechanism between signal transmission and reception. In addition, the response signal RS can also serve as a synchronization function for both to form an information handshaking process.

As shown in FIG. 6, the visual interface system further includes a mode triggering device 127. A user or operating device can trigger the mode triggering device 127 to activate the matrix display device 12 to enter an operational mode to transmit the encoded signal ES. Taking the touch as an example, when the user needs to utilize the touch function, the mode triggering device 127 is touched to start the matrix display device 12 to enter the touch mode. At this time, the row electrode or the column electrode transmits the encoded signal, and the rest of the time can turn off the touch function of all or part of the matrix display device 12, thereby preventing the touch screen from causing malfunction and saving power. Note that the operating mode of the sensing device 127 can have various modes, such as a state after a single trigger, a state before the recovery, a state change every time the trigger is triggered, and a state is maintained after the continuous trigger. Also need to pay attention The mode triggering device 127 can also be disposed on the operating device (for example, a switch on the stylus). In this case, after the mode triggering device 127 is triggered, the operating device 11 transmits a trigger signal to the matrix display device. 12 to put it into touch mode. It should be noted that the mode triggering device 127 referred to herein may be a single-trigger mode to switch the touch function, or the user must maintain contact to switch the touch function. In addition, taking the access control, ticket card, credit card, or file transfer as an example, the user can trigger the device to trigger the device to perform the identity transfer data transfer function by using the number signal, for example, transferring the data to the card reader, or another A device with a receiver. The mode triggering device 127 can be, for example, a mechanical switch, or a touch switch or the like.

The visual interface system 1 further includes a sensing device 128. The sensing device 128 is electrically coupled to the matrix display device 12. The user operating device simultaneously contacts the display surface 121 of the matrix display device 12 and the sensing device 128 to transmit the transmission signal TS to Matrix display device 12. It is intended that the user transmits the transmission signal TS to the matrix display device 12 as a conductor. The actual action can be, for example, the right hand of the user operating on the display surface 121, while the left hand presses the sensing device 128 so that the encoded signal ES can be accessed from the right hand of the user and the transmitted signal TS can be transmitted from the left hand. The sensing device 128 can also have the function of the mode triggering device 127. For example, when the left hand is pressed and held by the sensing device 128, the working mode is started, and the rest of the time is not. This can greatly reduce power consumption and false touches.

In this case, the relay device 13 can be a mobile communication device, such as a mobile phone, so that the user can use the medium to transmit the encoded signal ES sent by the matrix display device 12 to the relay device 13 for use in the file.

The transmission signal TS is coupled from the coded signal ES to the operating device 11, and then the relay device 13 processes the encoded signal ES to obtain the relay processed signal IS, and transmits the relay processed signal IS to the matrix display device 12 to obtain the information signal. In the process, the signals are subjected to some processing, such as amplification, decoding, modification, interpretation, etc., and these processes may be concentrated or dispersed in the operating device 11, the matrix display device 12 or the relay device 13.

In addition, integrated display, touch, and data transmission, thereby making products lighter and thinner, and reducing costs to enhance product competitiveness. In addition, the present invention couples the encoded signal to an external operating device instead of directly reading the encoded signal from the matrix substrate, so that no change in layout is required on the matrix substrate, for example, in a touch application, no display is required. Increase power in the panel The capacitive sensing element detects changes in external capacitance values, thereby reducing cost and shortening the process.

以上所述僅為舉例性,而非為限制性者。任何未脫離本發明之精神與範疇,而對其進行之等效修改或變更,均應包含於後附之申請專利範圍中。The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations to the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
