為了使本公開的目的、特徵和優點能夠更加的明顯易懂,下面將結合本公開實施例中的附圖,對本公開實施例的技術方案進行描述。顯然,所描述的實施例僅僅是本發明的一部分實施例。基於本公開實施例,本領域技術人員在不付出創造性勞動的前提下所獲得的任何其他實施例,都應當屬於本發明的保護範圍。為便於說明,表示結構的剖面圖不依一般比例而作局部放大。而且,附圖只是示例性的,其不應限制本發明的保護範圍。此外,在實際製作中應包含長度、寬度以及深度的三維尺寸。In the following, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention. Any other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without any creative work should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. For ease of explanation, the cross-sectional view showing the structure is not partially enlarged in accordance with the general scale. Moreover, the drawings are merely exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. In addition, the actual production should include three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth.

第1圖是本公開實施例所提供的電容式觸控式螢幕的示意圖。如第1圖所示,該電容式觸控式螢幕11包括:基板16;設置於基板上的多個感應電極19,所述多個感應電極19排列成二維陣列;以及連接到基板16上的觸摸控制晶片10,所述觸摸控制晶片10與每個感應電極19分別通過導線相連接。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a capacitive touch screen provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1 , the capacitive touch screen 11 includes: a substrate 16; a plurality of sensing electrodes 19 disposed on the substrate, the plurality of sensing electrodes 19 are arranged in a two-dimensional array; and connected to the substrate 16 The touch control wafer 10 is connected to each of the sensing electrodes 19 by wires.

基板16可以是透明的,例如是玻璃基板或可撓性基板;也可以是不透明的,例如是印製電路板。基板16上設置有多個感應電極19,所述多個感應電極19排列成二維陣列,可以是矩形陣列或任何其他形狀的二維陣列。對於電容式觸控式螢幕,每個感應電極19是一個電容感測器,電容感測器的電容在觸控式螢幕上相應位置被觸摸時發生變化。The substrate 16 may be transparent, such as a glass substrate or a flexible substrate; it may also be opaque, such as a printed circuit board. A plurality of sensing electrodes 19 are disposed on the substrate 16, and the plurality of sensing electrodes 19 are arranged in a two-dimensional array, which may be a rectangular array or a two-dimensional array of any other shape. For a capacitive touch screen, each of the sensing electrodes 19 is a capacitive sensor, and the capacitance of the capacitive sensor changes when the corresponding position on the touch screen is touched.

可選地,在感應電極19上方設置有覆蓋層18 (cover lens)以保護感應電極19。Optionally, a cover layer 18 is disposed above the sensing electrode 19 A cover lens is used to protect the sensing electrode 19.

每個感應電極19通過導線連接到觸摸控制晶片10,觸摸控制晶片10連接到基板16上。由於與每個感應電極19分別通過導線相連接,觸摸控制晶片10的管腳很多,因此,將觸摸控制晶片10連接到基板16上能夠避免常規封裝的困難。具體地,觸摸控制晶片10可通過玻璃覆晶(Chip-on-Glass,簡稱COG)方式或薄膜覆晶(Chip-on-Film,簡稱COF)或板上晶片封裝(Chip-on-Board,簡稱COB)方式連接到基板上。根據本實施例,觸摸控制晶片10與基板16之間可存在各向異性導電膜(ACF)17。Each of the sensing electrodes 19 is connected to the touch control wafer 10 by wires, and the touch control wafer 10 is connected to the substrate 16. Since each of the sensing electrodes 19 is connected by a wire, the number of pins of the touch control wafer 10 is large, and therefore, the connection of the touch control wafer 10 to the substrate 16 can avoid the difficulty of conventional packaging. Specifically, the touch control wafer 10 may be a chip-on-glass (COG) or a chip-on-film (COF) or a chip-on-board (Chip-on-Board). COB) is connected to the substrate. According to the present embodiment, an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) 17 may be present between the touch control wafer 10 and the substrate 16.

此外,常規的可撓性電路板(FPC)連接要求在硬體上給觸摸控制晶片和FPC預留空間,不利於系統精簡。而通過COG方式或COF方式,觸摸控制晶片與觸控式螢幕成為一體,顯著降低了兩者之間的距離,從而減小了整體的體積。此外,由於感應電極一般通過在基板上對氧化銦錫(ITO)進行蝕刻形成,而觸摸控制晶片也位於基板上,因此,兩者之間的連線可通過一次ITO蝕刻完成,顯著簡化了製造工藝。In addition, conventional flexible circuit board (FPC) connections require space on the touch control chip and FPC on the hard side, which is not conducive to system simplification. With the COG method or the COF method, the touch control chip and the touch screen are integrated, which significantly reduces the distance between the two, thereby reducing the overall volume. In addition, since the sensing electrode is generally formed by etching indium tin oxide (ITO) on the substrate, and the touch control wafer is also located on the substrate, the connection between the two can be completed by one ITO etching, which greatly simplifies manufacturing. Process.

第2圖是根據本公開實施例的感應電極陣列的俯視圖。本領域技術人員應理解,第2圖示出的僅僅是感應電極的一種排列方式,在具體實施中,感應電極可排列成任何二維陣列。此外,各感應電極在任一方向上的間距可以是相等的,也可以是不等的。本領域技術人員亦應理 解,感應電極的數量可多於第2圖示出的數量。2 is a top plan view of an array of sensing electrodes in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that FIG. 2 shows only one arrangement of the sensing electrodes. In a specific implementation, the sensing electrodes can be arranged in any two-dimensional array. In addition, the spacing of the sensing electrodes in either direction may be equal or unequal. Those skilled in the art should also pay attention to The number of sensing electrodes can be more than the number shown in FIG.

本領域技術人員應理解,第2圖示出的僅僅是感應電極的一種形狀。根據其他實施例,感應電極的形狀可以是矩形、菱形、三角形、圓形或橢圓形,也可以是不規則形狀。所述觸摸感應電極的邊緣上還可以有鋸齒。各感應電極的圖案可以是一致的,也可以是不一致的。例如,中部的感應電極採用菱形結構,邊緣的採用三角形結構。此外,各感應電極的大小可以是一致的,也可以是不一致的。例如,靠裡的感應電極尺寸較大,靠邊緣的尺寸較小,如此有利於走線和邊沿的觸摸精度。Those skilled in the art will appreciate that Figure 2 shows only one shape of the sensing electrode. According to other embodiments, the shape of the sensing electrode may be rectangular, rhombic, triangular, circular or elliptical, or may be irregular. The touch sensing electrodes may also have serrations on the edges. The patterns of the sensing electrodes may be uniform or inconsistent. For example, the sensing electrode in the middle has a diamond structure and the edge has a triangular structure. In addition, the size of each sensing electrode may be uniform or inconsistent. For example, the inner sensing electrode has a larger size and the smaller edge size, which is advantageous for the touch precision of the trace and the edge.

每個感應電極都有導線引出,導線布於感應電極之間的空隙中。一般而言,導線儘量均勻,且走線儘量短。此外,導線的走線範圍在保證安全距離的前提下儘量窄,從而留給感應電極更多的面積,使感應更精確。Each of the sensing electrodes has a lead drawn from the gap between the sensing electrodes. In general, the wires are as uniform as possible and the traces are as short as possible. In addition, the wire routing range is as narrow as possible while maintaining a safe distance, leaving more area for the sensing electrode, making the sensing more accurate.

各感應電極可通過導線連接至匯流排22,匯流排22將導線直接或者經過一定的排序後與觸摸控制晶片的管腳相連接。對於大螢幕的觸控式螢幕,感應電極的數量可能非常多。在這種情況下,可以用單個觸摸控制晶片控制所有感應電極;也可以通過對螢幕分區,用多個觸摸控制晶片分別控制不同區域的感應電極,多個觸摸控制晶片之間可進行時間同步。此時,匯流排22可分割成若干個匯流排集,以便與不同的觸摸控制晶片相連接。各觸摸控制晶片控制相同數量的感應電極,或者控制不同數量的感應電極。Each of the sensing electrodes can be connected to the bus bar 22 by wires, and the bus bar 22 connects the wires directly or after a certain order to the pins of the touch control chip. For large screen touch screens, the number of sensing electrodes can be very large. In this case, all of the sensing electrodes can be controlled with a single touch control wafer; the sensing electrodes of different regions can be separately controlled by multiple touch control wafers by partitioning the screen, and time synchronization can be performed between the plurality of touch control wafers. At this time, the bus bar 22 can be divided into a plurality of bus bar sets to be connected to different touch control wafers. Each touch control wafer controls the same number of sensing electrodes or controls a different number of sensing electrodes.

對於第2圖所示的感應電極陣列,佈線可以在感應電極陣列的同一層上實現。對於其他結構的感應電極陣列,如果同層走線難以實現,導線也可以佈置在不同於感應電極陣列所在層的另一層,通過通孔連接各感應電極。For the sensing electrode array shown in Fig. 2, the wiring can be implemented on the same layer of the sensing electrode array. For other types of sensing electrode arrays, if the same layer routing is difficult to implement, the wires may be disposed in another layer different from the layer in which the sensing electrode array is located, and the sensing electrodes are connected through the via holes.

第2圖所示的感應電極陣列基於自電容的觸摸檢測原理。每個感應電極對應螢幕上特定位置,在第2圖中,2a-2d表示不同感應電極。21表示一個觸摸,當觸摸發生在某感應電極所對應的位置時,該感應電極上的電荷改變,因此,檢測該感應電極上的電荷(電流/電壓),能夠知道該感應電極有沒有發生觸摸事件。一般而言,這可以通過類比數位轉換器(ADC)把類比量轉換為數位量來實現。感應電極的電荷改變量與感應電極被覆蓋的面積有關,例如,第2圖中感應電極2b和2d的電荷改變量大於感應電極2a和2c的電荷改變量。The sensing electrode array shown in Fig. 2 is based on the self-capacitance touch detection principle. Each sensing electrode corresponds to a specific position on the screen. In Fig. 2, 2a-2d indicate different sensing electrodes. 21 denotes a touch. When a touch occurs at a position corresponding to a certain sensing electrode, the electric charge on the sensing electrode changes. Therefore, by detecting the electric charge (current/voltage) on the sensing electrode, it is possible to know whether the sensing electrode has touched. event. In general, this can be achieved by converting an analog quantity to a digital quantity by an analog digital converter (ADC). The amount of charge change of the sensing electrode is related to the area covered by the sensing electrode. For example, the amount of charge change of the sensing electrodes 2b and 2d in FIG. 2 is larger than the amount of charge change of the sensing electrodes 2a and 2c.

螢幕上的每個位置均有對應的感應電極,感應電極之間沒有物理連接,因此,本公開實施例所提供的電容式觸控式螢幕能夠實現真正的多點觸控,避免了現有技術中自電容觸摸檢測的鬼點問題。Each of the positions on the screen has corresponding sensing electrodes, and there is no physical connection between the sensing electrodes. Therefore, the capacitive touch screen provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve true multi-touch, avoiding the prior art. The problem of ghost points in self-capacitance touch detection.

感應電極層可以通過表面貼合方式與顯示幕結合,也可以把感應電極層做到顯示幕內部,例如內嵌式(In-Cell)觸控式螢幕,還可以把感應電極層做到顯示幕上表面,例如外嵌式(on-Cell)觸控式螢幕。The sensing electrode layer can be combined with the display screen by surface bonding, or the sensing electrode layer can be made inside the display screen, such as an in-cell touch screen, and the sensing electrode layer can be displayed. The upper surface, such as an on-cell touch screen.

第3圖至第7圖示出了根據本公開實施例的感應電極驅動方法。如第3圖所示,感應電極19由驅動源 24驅動,驅動源24可以是電壓源或電流源。對於不同的感應電極19,驅動源24不一定採用相同的結構。例如,可以部分採用電壓源,部分採用電流源。此外,對於不同的感應電極19,驅動源24的頻率可以相同,也可以不同。時序控制單元23控制各驅動源24工作的時序。3 to 7 illustrate a sensing electrode driving method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the sensing electrode 19 is driven by a source The 24 drive, drive source 24 can be a voltage source or a current source. For different sensing electrodes 19, the driving source 24 does not necessarily have to have the same structure. For example, a voltage source may be partially used, and a current source may be partially used. Further, for different sensing electrodes 19, the frequency of the driving source 24 may be the same or different. The timing control unit 23 controls the timing at which the respective driving sources 24 operate.

各感應電極19的驅動時序有多種選擇。以下以n個感應電極(D1、D2……Dj、Dk……Dn)為例說明。There are various options for the driving timing of each of the sensing electrodes 19. Hereinafter, n sensing electrodes (D1, D2, ..., Dj, Dk, ..., Dn) will be described as an example.

如第4A圖所示,所有感應電極同時驅動,同時檢測。這種方式完成一次掃描所需要的時間最短,驅動源數量最多(與感應電極的數量一致)。如第4B圖所示,感應電極的驅動源被分成若干組,每組依次驅動特定區域內的電極。這種方式能夠實現驅動源複用,但會增加掃描時間,不過通過選擇合適的分組數量,可以使驅動源複用和掃描時間達到折中。As shown in Figure 4A, all of the sensing electrodes are driven simultaneously and simultaneously detected. In this way, the time required to complete a scan is the shortest, and the number of driving sources is the largest (consistent with the number of sensing electrodes). As shown in Fig. 4B, the driving sources of the sensing electrodes are divided into groups, each of which sequentially drives the electrodes in a specific region. This method can achieve drive source multiplexing, but it will increase the scan time, but by selecting the appropriate number of packets, the drive source multiplexing and scan time can be compromised.

第4C圖示出了常規互電容觸摸檢測的掃描方式。假設有n個驅動通道(TX),每個TX的掃描時間為Ts,則掃描完一幀的時間為n*Ts。而採用本實施例的感應電極驅動方法,可以將所有感應電極一起檢測,掃描完一幀的時間最快僅Ts。也就是說,與常規互電容觸摸檢測相比,本實施例的方案能夠將掃描頻率提高n倍。Figure 4C shows the scanning of conventional mutual capacitance touch detection. Assuming that there are n drive channels (TX), the scan time of each TX is Ts, and the time of scanning one frame is n*Ts. With the sensing electrode driving method of the embodiment, all the sensing electrodes can be detected together, and the time for scanning one frame is only Ts. That is to say, the scheme of the present embodiment can increase the scanning frequency by n times as compared with the conventional mutual capacitance touch detection.

對於一個有40個驅動通道的互電容觸控式螢幕,如果每個驅動通道的掃描時間為500us,則整個觸控式螢幕(一幀frames)的掃描時間為20ms,即幀率為50Hz。50Hz往往不能達到良好使用體驗的要求。本公開實施例的 方案可以解決這個問題。通過採用排列成二維陣列的感應電極,所有電極可以同時檢測,在每個電極的檢測時間保持500us的情況下,幀率達到2000Hz。這大大超出了多數觸控式螢幕的應用要求。多出來的掃描資料可以被數位信號處理端利用,用於例如抗干擾或優化觸摸軌跡,從而得到更好的效果。For a mutual capacitive touch screen with 40 drive channels, if the scan time of each drive channel is 500us, the scan time of the entire touch screen (one frame) is 20ms, that is, the frame rate is 50Hz. 50Hz often does not meet the requirements of a good experience. Embodiment of the disclosed embodiment The solution can solve this problem. By using the sensing electrodes arranged in a two-dimensional array, all the electrodes can be simultaneously detected, and the frame rate reaches 2000 Hz with the detection time of each electrode being maintained at 500 us. This greatly exceeds the application requirements of most touch screens. The extra scan data can be utilized by the digital signal processing terminal for, for example, anti-interference or optimized touch trajectory for better results.

In-Cell觸控式螢幕利用每幀的場消隱時間進行掃描,但每幀的場消隱時間僅為2-4ms,常規基於互電容的掃描時間卻往往達到5ms甚至更大。為實現In-Cell屏的使用,通常減少互電容觸摸檢測的掃描時間,具體是減少每個通道的掃描時間,這種方法降低了In-Cell屏的信噪比,影響了觸摸體驗。本公開實施例的方案可以解決這個問題。例如,一個有10個驅動通道、常規互電容觸摸檢測掃描時間為4ms的In-Cell屏,每個通道的掃描時間是400us。通過採用本公開實施例的方案,所有電極同時驅動和檢測,則所有電極都掃描完一次僅需400us。對於上述In-Cell屏,若保持觸摸檢測掃描時間4ms不變,則還有很多時間剩餘。節省出的時間可以用於多次重複檢測或變頻率檢測等其他檢測,從而大大提高檢測信號的信噪比和抗干擾能力,以得到更好的檢測效果。The In-Cell touch screen uses the field blanking time of each frame to scan, but the field blanking time per frame is only 2-4ms, and the conventional mutual capacitance based scanning time is often 5ms or more. In order to realize the use of the In-Cell screen, the scanning time of the mutual capacitance touch detection is generally reduced, specifically, the scanning time of each channel is reduced. This method reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of the In-Cell screen and affects the touch experience. The solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure can solve this problem. For example, an In-Cell screen with 10 drive channels and a regular mutual capacitance touch detection scan time of 4ms, each channel has a scan time of 400us. By employing the solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, all electrodes are simultaneously driven and detected, and all electrodes are scanned for only 400 us. For the above In-Cell screen, if the touch detection scan time is kept constant for 4 ms, there is still a lot of time remaining. The saved time can be used for other detections such as multiple repeated detection or variable frequency detection, thereby greatly improving the signal-to-noise ratio and anti-interference ability of the detection signal, so as to obtain a better detection effect.

優選地,檢測每個感應電極的自電容。感應電極的自電容可以是其對地電容。Preferably, the self capacitance of each of the sensing electrodes is detected. The self-capacitance of the sensing electrode can be its capacitance to ground.

作為一個示例,可採用電荷檢測法。如第5圖所示,驅動源41提供恒定電壓V1。電壓V1可以是正壓、 負壓或地。S1和S2表示兩個受控開關,42表示感應電極的對地電容,45表示電荷接收模組,電荷接收模組45可將輸入端電壓鉗位至指定值V2,並測量出輸入或輸出的電荷量。首先,S1閉合S2斷開,Cx的上極板被充電至驅動源41所提供的電壓V1;然後S1斷開S2閉合,Cx與電荷接收模組45發生電荷交換。設電荷轉移量為Q1,Cx的上極板電壓變為V2,則由C=Q/△V,有Cx=Q1/(V2-V1),從而實現了電容檢測。As an example, a charge detection method can be employed. As shown in Fig. 5, the drive source 41 supplies a constant voltage V1. Voltage V1 can be positive pressure, Negative pressure or ground. S1 and S2 represent two controlled switches, 42 represents the capacitance of the sensing electrode to ground, 45 represents the charge receiving module, and the charge receiving module 45 can clamp the input voltage to the specified value V2 and measure the input or output. The amount of charge. First, S1 is closed and S2 is turned off, and the upper plate of Cx is charged to the voltage V1 supplied from the driving source 41; then S1 is turned off and S2 is closed, and Cx is charged and exchanged with the charge receiving module 45. Let the charge transfer amount be Q1, and the upper plate voltage of Cx becomes V2, then C=Q/ΔV, and Cx=Q1/(V2-V1), thereby achieving capacitance detection.

作為另一個示例,也可採用電流源,或者通過感應電極的頻率來獲得其自電容。As another example, a current source can also be employed, or its self-capacitance can be obtained by sensing the frequency of the electrodes.

可選地,在使用多個驅動源的情況下,當檢測一個感應電極時,對於與該感應電極相鄰的或周邊的感應電極,可選擇不同於該被測電極的驅動源的電壓。出於簡潔的目的,第6圖僅示出了三個感應電極:一個被測電極57和兩個相鄰電極56和58。本領域技術人員應理解,以下例子也適用於更多個感應電極的情況。Alternatively, in the case of using a plurality of driving sources, when detecting one sensing electrode, a voltage different from a driving source of the electrode to be measured may be selected for the sensing electrode adjacent to or surrounding the sensing electrode. For the sake of brevity, Figure 6 shows only three sensing electrodes: one electrode to be tested 57 and two adjacent electrodes 56 and 58. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following examples are also applicable to the case of more sensing electrodes.

與被測電極57相連接的驅動源54通過開關S2連接到電壓源51,以實現對被測電極57的驅動;而與被測電極57相鄰的感應電極56和58與驅動源53和55相連接,它們可以通過開關S1和S3連接到電壓源51或特定的參考電壓52(Vref,例如地)。若開關S1和S3連接到電壓源51,即用同一電壓源同時驅動被測電極及其周邊的電極,這樣能夠減小被測電極和其周邊電極的電壓差,有利於減小被測電極的電容和有利於防範水滴形成的虛假觸 摸。The driving source 54 connected to the electrode to be measured 57 is connected to the voltage source 51 through the switch S2 to drive the electrode 57 to be tested; and the sensing electrodes 56 and 58 adjacent to the electrode 57 to be tested and the driving sources 53 and 55 Connected, they can be connected to voltage source 51 or a specific reference voltage 52 (Vref, for example ground) through switches S1 and S3. If the switches S1 and S3 are connected to the voltage source 51, the electrodes of the electrode to be tested and the electrodes thereof are simultaneously driven by the same voltage source, so that the voltage difference between the electrode to be tested and the peripheral electrode thereof can be reduced, which is advantageous for reducing the electrode to be tested. Capacitance and false touches that help prevent water droplets from forming touch.

優選地,觸摸控制晶片配置為通過驅動源的參數來調整觸摸檢測的靈敏度或動態範圍,所述參數包括幅度、頻率和時序之中的任一個或組合。作為一個示例,第7圖所示,驅動源的參數(例如,驅動電壓、電流和頻率)以及各驅動源的時序可由觸摸控制晶片內的信號驅動單元50的控制邏輯控制。通過這些參數,可以調整不同的電路工作狀態,例如高靈敏度、中等靈敏度或低靈敏度,或不同的動態範圍。Preferably, the touch control wafer is configured to adjust the sensitivity or dynamic range of the touch detection by parameters of the drive source, including any one or combination of amplitude, frequency, and timing. As an example, as shown in FIG. 7, the parameters of the drive source (e.g., drive voltage, current, and frequency) and the timing of each drive source can be controlled by the control logic of the signal drive unit 50 within the touch control wafer. With these parameters, different circuit operating states can be adjusted, such as high sensitivity, medium sensitivity or low sensitivity, or different dynamic ranges.

不同的電路工作狀態可適用于不同的應用場景。第7圖示出了根據本公開實施例的電容式觸控式螢幕的四個應用場景:手指正常觸摸70,手指懸浮觸控71,有源/無源筆或細小導體72,以及帶手套觸摸73。結合上述參數,可以實現對一個或多個正常觸摸以及一個或多個細小導體觸摸的檢測。本領域技術人員應理解,儘管第6圖示出的信號接收單元59和信號驅動單元50是分離的,在其他實施例中,它們可以由同一個電路實現。Different circuit operating states can be applied to different application scenarios. FIG. 7 illustrates four application scenarios of a capacitive touch screen according to an embodiment of the present disclosure: a finger normal touch 70, a finger hovering touch 71, an active/passive pen or small conductor 72, and a gloved touch. 73. In combination with the above parameters, detection of one or more normal touches and one or more small conductor touches can be achieved. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that although the signal receiving unit 59 and the signal driving unit 50 shown in Fig. 6 are separate, in other embodiments, they may be implemented by the same circuit.

第8圖示出了根據本發明實施例的觸摸控制晶片的信號流程圖。當感應電極上有觸摸發生時,感應電極的電容會改變,這個改變量通過ADC轉換成數位量,就能恢復出觸摸資訊。一般而言,電容改變量與該感應電極被觸摸物遮蓋的面積相關。信號接收單元59接收感應電極的感應資料,經信號處理單元恢復出觸摸資訊。Figure 8 shows a signal flow diagram of a touch control wafer in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. When a touch occurs on the sensing electrode, the capacitance of the sensing electrode changes, and the amount of change is converted into a digital amount by the ADC, and the touch information can be recovered. In general, the amount of capacitance change is related to the area covered by the sensing electrode by the touch object. The signal receiving unit 59 receives the sensing data of the sensing electrode, and recovers the touch information through the signal processing unit.

作為一個示例,以下具體描述信號處理單元6 的資料處理方法。As an example, the signal processing unit 6 is specifically described below. Data processing method.

步驟61:獲取感應資料。Step 61: Acquire sensing data.

The purpose of this step is to eliminate the noise in the original image as much as possible for subsequent calculations. This step can be specifically applied to the airspace, time domain or threshold filtering method.

步驟63:尋找其中可能的觸摸區域。這些區域包括真實的觸摸區域以及無效信號。無效信號包括大面積觸摸信號、電源雜訊信號、懸空異常信號、以及水滴信號等等。這些無效信號有的與真實觸摸接近,有的會干擾真實觸摸,有的則不應被解析成正常觸摸。Step 63: Find the possible touch areas therein. These areas include real touch areas and invalid signals. Invalid signals include large area touch signals, power supply noise signals, floating abnormal signals, and water drop signals. Some of these invalid signals are close to the real touch, some may interfere with the real touch, and some should not be resolved into a normal touch.

步驟64:異常處理,以消除上述無效信號並得到合理觸摸區。Step 64: Exception processing to eliminate the above invalid signal and obtain a reasonable touch area.

步驟65:根據合理觸摸區的資料進行計算,以得到觸摸位置的座標。Step 65: Calculate according to the data of the reasonable touch area to obtain the coordinates of the touch position.

優選地,可以根據二維的電容變化陣列來確定觸摸位置的座標。具體地,可以採用重心演算法來根據二維的電容變化陣列確定觸摸位置的座標。Preferably, the coordinates of the touch location can be determined from a two-dimensional array of capacitance variations. Specifically, a centroid algorithm can be employed to determine the coordinates of the touch location from the two-dimensional array of capacitance changes.

作為一個示例,觸摸控制晶片可以包括:信號驅動/接收單元,配置為驅動各觸摸感應電極,並接收來自各觸摸感應電極的感應資料;以及信號處理單元,配置為根據感應資料來確定觸摸位置。具體地,信號驅動/接收單元可以配置為用電壓源或電流源驅動所述感應電極;信號處理單元可以配置為通過感應電極的電壓或頻率或電量來計算其自電容(例如,對地電容),並根據自電容的變化量 來確定觸摸位置。As an example, the touch control wafer may include a signal driving/receiving unit configured to drive the respective touch sensing electrodes and receive the sensing data from the respective touch sensing electrodes, and a signal processing unit configured to determine the touch position according to the sensing data. Specifically, the signal driving/receiving unit may be configured to drive the sensing electrode with a voltage source or a current source; the signal processing unit may be configured to calculate its self-capacitance (eg, capacitance to ground) by sensing the voltage or frequency or the amount of electricity of the electrode.

Induction electrode.

第9A圖示出了採用重心演算法計算觸摸位置的座標的一個例子。出於簡潔的目的,在以下描述中僅計算了觸摸位置的一個維度的座標。本領域技術人員應理解,可以採用相同或類似的方法獲得觸摸位置的完整座標。假設第7圖所示的感應電極56-58被手指覆蓋,對應的感應資料分別為PT1,PT2,PT3,假設橫坐標定為x方向,縱坐標定為y方向,且感應電極56-58所對應的橫坐標分別為x1,x2,x3。則採用重心演算法得到的手指觸摸位置的橫坐標是: Figure 9A shows an example of the coordinates of the touch position calculated using the center of gravity algorithm. For the sake of brevity, only the coordinates of one dimension of the touch location are calculated in the following description. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the same coordinates can be obtained using the same or similar methods. It is assumed that the sensing electrodes 56-58 shown in Fig. 7 are covered by the fingers, and the corresponding sensing data are PT1, PT2, PT3, respectively, assuming that the abscissa is set to the x direction, the ordinate is set to the y direction, and the sensing electrodes are 56-58. The corresponding abscissas are x1, x2, and x3, respectively. Then the abscissa of the finger touch position obtained by the center of gravity algorithm is:

這裡僅僅以一維的重心演算法作為示例,實際座標可以由二維重心演算法確定。Here, only the one-dimensional center of gravity algorithm is taken as an example, and the actual coordinates can be determined by the two-dimensional center of gravity algorithm.

可選地,在得到觸摸位置的座標之後還可以進行步驟66:分析以往幀的資料,以便利用多幀資料來獲得當前幀資料。Optionally, after obtaining the coordinates of the touch location, step 66: analyzing the data of the previous frame to obtain the current frame data by using the multi-frame data.

可選地,在得到觸摸位置的座標之後也可以進行步驟67:根據多幀資料來跟蹤觸摸軌跡。此外,還可以根據使用者的操作過程,得出事件資訊並上報。Optionally, after obtaining the coordinates of the touch location, step 67 may also be performed: tracking the touch trajectory according to the multi-frame data. In addition, event information can be obtained and reported according to the user's operation process.

根據本公開實施例的電容式觸控式螢幕,能夠在實現多點觸控的前提下,解決現有技術中雜訊疊加的問題。The capacitive touch screen according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can solve the problem of noise superposition in the prior art under the premise of implementing multi-touch.

以在第7圖中位置501引入電源共模雜訊為例,以下分析雜訊對觸摸位置的計算的影響。Taking the introduction of the power common mode noise at the position 501 in FIG. 7 as an example, the following analyzes the influence of the noise on the calculation of the touch position.

在現有技術的基於互電容觸摸檢測的觸摸系統中,有多個驅動通道(TX)和多個接收通道(RX),而且每個RX與所有的TX連通。當系統中引入了一個共模干擾信號時,由於RX的連通性,雜訊會在整個RX上傳導。特別是,當在一個RX上有多個噪音源時,這些噪音源的雜訊會疊加,從而使雜訊幅度增加。雜訊使測量的電容上的電壓信號等發生擺動,從而導致非觸摸點發生誤報。In prior art mutual capacitance touch detection based touch systems, there are multiple drive channels (TX) and multiple receive channels (RX), and each RX is in communication with all TXs. When a common mode interference signal is introduced into the system, the noise is transmitted throughout RX due to the RX connectivity. In particular, when there are multiple noise sources on one RX, the noise of these noise sources will be superimposed, thereby increasing the noise amplitude. The noise causes the voltage signal on the measured capacitance to oscillate, resulting in a false alarm at the non-touch point.

在本公開實施例所提供的電容式觸控式螢幕中,各感應電極間在連接到晶片內部前沒有物理連接,雜訊無法在感應電極間傳遞和疊加,避免了誤報。In the capacitive touch screen provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is no physical connection between the sensing electrodes before being connected to the inside of the wafer, and the noise cannot be transmitted and superimposed between the sensing electrodes, thereby avoiding false alarms.

以電壓檢測法為例,雜訊會引起被觸摸電極上的電壓變化,從而引起被觸摸電極的感應資料變化。根據自電容觸摸檢測原理,雜訊所導致的感應值與正常觸摸所導致的感應值均正比於被觸摸電極被覆蓋的面積。Taking the voltage detection method as an example, the noise causes a voltage change on the touched electrode, thereby causing a change in the sensed data of the touched electrode. According to the self-capacitance touch detection principle, the sensing value caused by the noise and the sensing value caused by the normal touch are proportional to the area covered by the touch electrode.

第9B圖示出了有雜訊的情況下採用重心演算法計算觸摸位置的座標。假設正常觸摸引起的感應值分別是PT1、PT2、PT3,雜訊引起的感應值是PN1、PN2、PN3,則(以感應電極56-58為例): Figure 9B shows the coordinates of the touch position calculated using the center of gravity algorithm in the presence of noise. It is assumed that the induced values caused by the normal touch are PT1, PT2, and PT3, respectively, and the induced values caused by the noise are PN1, PN2, and PN3 (take the sensing electrodes 56-58 as an example):

有:PN1=K*PT1,PN2=K*PT2,PN3=K*PT3,其中K為常數。There are: PN1=K*PT1, PN2=K*PT2, PN3=K*PT3, where K is a constant.

當雜訊與驅動源的電壓極性一致時,由於電壓疊加最終的感應資料為:PNT1=PN1+PT1=(1+K)*PT1 PNT2=PN2+PT2=(1+K)*PT2 PNT3=PN3+PT3=(1+K)*PT3When the polarity of the voltage of the noise and the driving source is the same, the final sensing data due to voltage superposition is: PNT1=PN1+PT1=(1+K)*PT1 PNT2=PN2+PT2=(1+K)*PT2 PNT3=PN3 +PT3=(1+K)*PT3

那麼,採用重心演算法得到的座標為: Then, the coordinates obtained by the center of gravity algorithm are:

可見,式(2)與式(1)相等。因此,本公開實施例的電容式觸控式螢幕對共模雜訊是免疫的。只要雜訊不超出系統的動態範圍,就不會影響到最終確定的座標。It can be seen that equation (2) is equal to equation (1). Therefore, the capacitive touch screen of the embodiment of the present disclosure is immune to common mode noise. As long as the noise does not exceed the dynamic range of the system, it will not affect the final coordinates.

雜訊與驅動源的電壓極性相反時,會把有效信號拉低。如果拉低後的有效信號能檢測出來,則由以上分析可知,不影響最終確定的座標。如果拉低後的有效信號不能檢測出來,則當前幀的資料失效。不過由於本公開實施例所提供的電容式觸控式螢幕的掃描頻率可以很高,可 以達到常規掃描頻率的N倍(N通常大於10),利用這一特性,可以利用多幀資料來恢復出當前幀的資料。本領域技術人員應理解,由於掃描頻率遠大於實際所需的報點率的,因此利用多幀資料的處理不會影響正常報點率。When the noise is opposite to the voltage of the drive source, the effective signal is pulled low. If the effective signal after the pull-down is detected, it can be seen from the above analysis that the final determined coordinates are not affected. If the valid signal after the pull-down is not detected, the data of the current frame is invalid. However, the scanning frequency of the capacitive touch screen provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be high. To achieve N times the normal scanning frequency (N is usually greater than 10), this feature can be used to recover the current frame data using multi-frame data. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the processing using multi-frame data does not affect the normal reporting rate since the scanning frequency is much larger than the actual required reporting rate.

類似地,當雜訊有限度地超出了系統的動態範圍,也可以利用多幀資料來修正當前幀,從而得到正確的座標。幀間處理方法同樣適用於射頻以及來自液晶顯示模組等其他噪音源的干擾。Similarly, when the noise is limited beyond the dynamic range of the system, multi-frame data can also be used to correct the current frame to get the correct coordinates. The interframe processing method is also applicable to radio frequency and interference from other noise sources such as liquid crystal display modules.
