可降低電容式觸控器干擾信號之觸控顯示器 Touch display capable of reducing interference signal of capacitive touch controller

本發明通常是有關於一種顯示器,且特別是有關於一種可降低電容式觸控器干擾信號之觸控顯示器。 The present invention generally relates to a display, and more particularly to a touch display that reduces interference signals from a capacitive touch sensor.

電容式觸控器常與顯示器搭配,以提供讓使用者操作顯示器之功能。電容式觸控控制積體電路(IC)將信號經由發射電極傳送到電容式觸控器上。當手指或觸控筆接近電容式觸控器時,將影響信號而使信號在電壓、頻率、相位等方面產生變化。電容式觸控IC將接收此變化之信號以利辨識手指或觸控筆的觸控位置。此感應信號的辨識能力,係與接收到之感應信號與雜訊信號之比例有密切之關係。若能有效降低雜訊或提升感應信號之強度,則可以提升觸控之感應性能。一般之雜訊來自於觸控控制IC的電壓源雜訊、環境電磁波雜訊以及驅動顯示器時所產生之雜訊。 Capacitive touch sensors are often paired with displays to provide the user with the ability to operate the display. A capacitive touch control integrated circuit (IC) transmits a signal to a capacitive touch sensor via a transmitting electrode. When a finger or stylus approaches a capacitive touch controller, it affects the signal and causes the signal to change in voltage, frequency, phase, and the like. The capacitive touch IC will receive the signal of the change to identify the touch position of the finger or the stylus. The identification capability of the sensing signal is closely related to the ratio of the received sensing signal to the noise signal. If the noise is effectively reduced or the intensity of the sensing signal is increased, the sensing performance of the touch can be improved. The general noise comes from the voltage source noise of the touch control IC, the ambient electromagnetic noise, and the noise generated when the display is driven.

顯示器上一般有排列成矩陣之主動式控制電路(或稱主動元件),掃描信號連結至主動元件之閘極電極,將顯示器上之某一行之主動元件之通道逐行打開,以利顯示器之驅動信號可以經由源極電極傳入畫素電極中,使顯示器上之畫素可以正確顯示。然而,此掃描信號流經閘極電極及驅動信號流經源極電極時,由於閘極電極與源極電極與電容觸控器之電極存在電容而耦合至電容觸控器電極上,成為電容式觸控器信號中的雜訊,因而影響電容式觸控器對信號之辨識功能。 The display generally has an active control circuit (or an active component) arranged in a matrix. The scan signal is connected to the gate electrode of the active component, and the channel of the active component of one row on the display is turned on line by line to facilitate the display. The signal can be passed into the pixel electrode via the source electrode, allowing the pixels on the display to be displayed correctly. However, when the scan signal flows through the gate electrode and the driving signal flows through the source electrode, it is coupled to the capacitive touch sensor electrode due to the capacitance of the gate electrode and the source electrode and the electrode of the capacitive touch sensor, thereby becoming a capacitive type. The noise in the sensor signal affects the identification of the signal by the capacitive touch controller.

一般之觸控控制IC利用相鄰位置或相鄰幀信號來與接收信號作比對以形成差動信號,藉以降低此顯示器耦合進入之雜訊。但是,由於顯示器之掃描信號隨著時間會不斷改變信號強度,且顯示信號會隨著顯示內容之不同在位置上會不斷改變信號強度,且各閘極電極與源極電極上之信號並不一致,耦合之後在電容式觸控器電極上常成為一複合之雜訊信號。又,耦合之信號往往在時間及空間上不斷改變,使耦合的信號量不斷改變而無法預測,更增加過濾此類耦合自顯示器之雜訊之困難度。 Generally, the touch control IC uses adjacent positions or adjacent frame signals to compare with the received signals to form a differential signal, thereby reducing the noise that the display is coupled into. However, since the scanning signal of the display continuously changes the signal strength over time, and the display signal will continuously change the signal intensity in position according to the display content, and the signals on the gate electrodes and the source electrodes are not consistent, After coupling, it often becomes a composite noise signal on the capacitive touch sensor electrodes. Moreover, the coupled signals tend to change in time and space, so that the coupled signal volume is constantly changing and unpredictable, and the difficulty of filtering such noise coupled from the display is increased.

本發明主要針對降低驅動顯示器時所產生之雜訊,提供一種有效之方案。 The present invention is directed to providing an effective solution for reducing noise generated when a display is driven.

本發明之一個目的在提供一種即時之補償感應信號,其在時間及強度關係上與電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器的閘極電極上之掃描信號與源極電極上之顯示信號極類似,而可以作為過濾雜訊判定的基準。 An object of the present invention is to provide an instant compensation sensing signal which is similar in time and intensity to the scanning signal on the gate electrode of the capacitive touch sensor coupled to the gate electrode of the display and the display signal on the source electrode. It can be used as a benchmark for filtering noise.

本發明之另一目的,在提供一種電極的設計方式,使產生的補償感應信號可以避免受到觸控操作的影響,而可以更準確的判定電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極電極上之掃描信號與源極電極上之顯示信號之雜訊並將其過濾掉。 Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrode design method, so that the generated compensation signal can be prevented from being affected by the touch operation, and the gate electrode coupled to the display electrode on the capacitive touch sensor electrode can be more accurately determined. The noise of the upper scan signal and the display signal on the source electrode is filtered out.

本發明之又另一目的,係在提供一種判定補償感應信號與電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極電極上之掃描信號與源極電極上之顯示信號之時間關係。由於補償感應電極和電容式觸控器上電極與顯示器之閘極電極和源極電極之位置不同,而使補償感應信號與電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極電極和源極電極之雜訊存在一相位的延遲關係,因此可以利用顯示器驅動時產生之特殊可辨識信號或由顯示器驅動IC提供之可辨識信號,同時偵測並記錄電容式觸控器的感應電極與補償感應電極 接收之耦合信號相位差,以作為後續判定及過濾之相位差基準,以過濾電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極和源極電極之雜訊。 Still another object of the present invention is to provide a time relationship between the determination of the compensation sensing signal and the display signal on the gate electrode of the capacitive touch sensor electrode coupled to the gate electrode of the display and the source electrode. Since the compensation sensing electrode and the upper surface of the capacitive touch sensor are different from the gate electrode and the source electrode of the display, the compensation sensing signal and the capacitive touch sensor electrode are coupled to the gate electrode and the source electrode of the display. The noise has a phase delay relationship, so that the special identifiable signal generated by the display driving or the identifiable signal provided by the display driving IC can be utilized, and the sensing electrode and the compensation sensing electrode of the capacitive touch sensor are simultaneously detected and recorded. The phase difference of the received coupled signal is used as a phase difference reference for subsequent determination and filtering to filter noise from the gate and source electrodes of the capacitive touch sensor electrode coupled to the display.

本發明之再一目的,係在提供一種判定補償感應信號與電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極電極上之掃描信號與源極電極上之顯示信號之強度關係。由於補償感應電極和電容式觸控器上電極與顯示器之閘極電極和源極電極之位置及阻值不同,而使補償感應信號與電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極和源極電極之雜訊存在一強度之差異關係。因此,可以利用顯示器驅動時產生之特殊可辨識信號或由顯示器驅動IC提供之可辨識信號,同時偵測並記錄電容式觸控器各位置電極與補償感應電極接收之耦合信號強度差,以作為後續判定及過濾之相位差或強度差的基準,以過濾電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極電極和源極電極之雜訊。 Still another object of the present invention is to provide a determination of the intensity relationship between the compensation sensing signal and the display signal on the gate electrode coupled to the gate electrode of the capacitive touch sensor electrode and the source electrode. Because the compensation sensing electrode and the upper surface of the capacitive touch sensor are different from the position and resistance of the gate electrode and the source electrode of the display, the compensation sensing signal and the gate of the capacitive touch sensor are coupled from the gate and the source of the display. The noise of the pole electrode has a difference in strength. Therefore, the special identifiable signal generated by the display driving or the identifiable signal provided by the display driving IC can be utilized, and the difference between the coupled signal intensity of each position electrode of the capacitive touch controller and the compensation sensing electrode can be detected and recorded as Subsequent determination and filtering of the phase difference or intensity difference reference to filter the noise of the capacitive touch sensor electrode coupled to the gate electrode and the source electrode of the display.

為達成上述目的,本發明提供一種觸控顯示器,包含一顯示模組以及一觸控模組。顯示模組用以執行一顯示資料之顯示動作。觸控模組電連接至顯示模組,並依據顯示模組於執行顯示動作時的電信號作補償以執行一觸控感應動作來獲得代表一個或多個觸控位置之一觸控信號。藉此,可以降低電容式觸控器的干擾信號。 To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a touch display including a display module and a touch module. The display module is configured to perform a display action of displaying data. The touch module is electrically connected to the display module, and compensates according to the electrical signal of the display module during the display operation to perform a touch sensing action to obtain a touch signal representing one or more touch positions. Thereby, the interference signal of the capacitive touch controller can be reduced.

The receiver is electrically connected to the compensation sensing electrode and receives a plurality of second coupling signals coupled from the touch electrodes And a plurality of first coupled signals from the compensation sensing electrodes and representing the first coupling capacitors, and performing operations on the first coupling signals according to the second coupling signals to obtain touch signals representing the touch positions .

或者,於上述之觸控顯示器中,顯示模組包含一共同電極、多條掃描電極、多條資料電極以及多個畫素電極。此等掃描電極與此等資料電極隔開一垂直距離。此等畫素電極設置於共同電極的一側。顯示模組依據此等資料電極的多個電氣信號產生一補償信號。觸控模組包含多個觸控電極及一個耦接至此等觸控電極的一部分的接收器。接收器電連接至顯示模組,並接收從此等觸控電極耦合來的多個耦合信號以及補償信號,並依據此等耦合信號與補償信號進行運算以獲得代表一個或多個觸控位置之觸控信號。 Alternatively, in the touch display device described above, the display module includes a common electrode, a plurality of scan electrodes, a plurality of data electrodes, and a plurality of pixel electrodes.

Control signal.

根據本發明,可以依據顯示模組於執行顯示動作時的電信號作補償以執行一觸控感應動作來獲得代表一個或多個觸控位置之一觸控信號,或者顯示器上之補償感應電極可以提供與電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極上掃描信號及源極電極上之顯示信號之雜訊在時間及強度上相關之同步補償感應信號,並可根據其在時間與強度上的關係,過濾電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極上掃描信號及源極電極上之顯示信號之雜訊。藉由在顯示器上建構一組以上的補償感應電極,此補償感應電極與閘極電極及源極電極之間形成電容使閘極電極及源極電極之信號亦可以耦合至補償感應電極。由於補償感應電極與閘極電極及源極電極之架構與電容式觸控器上之電極與顯示器上閘極電極及源極電極之架構類似,使補償感應電極上之耦合信號與電容式觸控器上之耦合信號類似,因此可以提供一在時間上與強度上與電容觸控器上之雜訊信號相關之信號,以作為判斷觸控補償感應信號與顯示器雜訊之根據,並利用比對電路,即時將電容 觸控器電極信號中之雜訊過濾或減除,以提升電容式觸控信號之信噪比(Signal-to-Noise Ratio),提升電容式觸控器之感測性能。 According to the present invention, the touch signal may be compensated according to the electrical signal of the display module during the display operation to obtain a touch signal representative of one or more touch positions, or the compensation sensing electrode on the display may be Providing a synchronous compensation sensing signal related to the time and intensity of the noise on the gate of the capacitive touch sensor coupled with the scanning signal on the gate of the display and the display signal on the source electrode, and according to its time and intensity In relation, the capacitive touch sensor electrode is coupled to the scan signal on the gate of the display and the noise of the display signal on the source electrode. By constructing more than one compensation sensing electrode on the display, a capacitance is formed between the compensation sensing electrode and the gate electrode and the source electrode so that the signals of the gate electrode and the source electrode can also be coupled to the compensation sensing electrode. Since the structure of the compensation sensing electrode and the gate electrode and the source electrode is similar to the structure of the electrode on the capacitive touch sensor and the gate electrode and the source electrode of the display, the coupling signal on the sensing electrode and the capacitive touch are compensated. The coupling signal on the device is similar, so that a signal related to the noise signal on the capacitive touch sensor in time and intensity can be provided as a basis for judging the touch compensation sensing signal and the display noise, and using the comparison. Circuit, instant capacitor The noise filtering or subtraction in the sensor electrode signal is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the capacitive touch signal, and improve the sensing performance of the capacitive touch sensor.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, the touch display 1 of the present embodiment for reducing the interference signal of the capacitive touch sensor includes a display module 10 and a touch module 30. The display module 10 is configured to perform a display operation of displaying data. The touch module 30 is electrically connected to the display module 10 and compensated according to the electrical signal of the display module 10 during the display operation to perform a touch sensing action to obtain one touch representing one or more touch positions. signal. Thereby, the interference signal of the capacitive touch controller can be reduced or eliminated.

顯示模組10包含一共同電極11、多條橫向之掃描電極(又稱 閘極電極)12、多條縱向之資料電極(又稱源極電極)13以及多個畫素電極14,共同電極11可以以單片電極的型式存在,也可以以多個共同電極區塊的型式存在。此等掃描電極12與此等資料電極13隔開一垂直距離(更詳細顯示於圖3A)。掃描電極12電連接至一閘極驅動器18,資料電極13連接至一資料驅動器19。閘極驅動器18與資料驅動器19的驅動原理為本領域具有通常知識者可以輕易理解的,故於此不再贅述。 The display module 10 includes a common electrode 11 and a plurality of lateral scanning electrodes (also called a gate electrode 12, a plurality of longitudinal data electrodes (also referred to as source electrodes) 13 and a plurality of pixel electrodes 14, the common electrode 11 may be in the form of a single electrode, or may be a plurality of common electrode blocks The type exists. These scan electrodes 12 are spaced a vertical distance from these data electrodes 13 (shown in more detail in Figure 3A). The scan electrode 12 is electrically connected to a gate driver 18, and the data electrode 13 is connected to a data driver 19. The driving principle of the gate driver 18 and the data driver 19 can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, and thus will not be described herein.

此等畫素電極14設置於共同電極11的至少一側,其中,「一側」包含但不限於上方、下方、左方、右方、前方或後方,端視各顯示模組(顯示器)的種類及設計而定,而至少一側的意思包含一側或兩側。舉例而言,圖2A的畫素電極14是在共同電極11的下方;若是平面內切換(In-Plane Switching,IPS)液晶顯示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)的顯示器,畫素電極與共同電極是配置在左方及右方;若是邊界電場切換(Fringe Field Switching,FFS)LCD的顯示器,畫素電極14可能會在共同電極11的上方及/或下方、左方及/或右方。 The pixel electrodes 14 are disposed on at least one side of the common electrode 11, wherein the "one side" includes, but is not limited to, the upper side, the lower side, the left side, the right side, the front side, or the rear side, and the display modules (displays) are viewed from each other. Depending on the type and design, at least one side means one or both sides. For example, the pixel electrode 14 of FIG. 2A is below the common electrode 11; if it is an In-Plane Switching (IPS) liquid crystal display (LCD) display, the pixel electrode and the common electrode are It is arranged on the left and right; if it is a display of a Fringe Field Switching (FFS) LCD, the pixel electrodes 14 may be above and/or below, to the left and/or to the right of the common electrode 11.

觸控模組30包含一第一補償感應電極20、多個觸控電極31、32及一個耦接至此等觸控電極31、32的一部分(於此實施例是觸控電極32)的接收器33。第一補償感應電極20橫貫於此等資料電極13並位於此等資料電極13之至少一側(也就是一側、兩側、三側、四側等),以與此等資料電極13形成多個第一耦合電容Cc1。於俯視的狀態下,第一補償感應電極20可以垂直於資料電極13,亦可以不垂直於資料電極13。 The touch module 30 includes a first compensation sensing electrode 20, a plurality of touch electrodes 31, 32, and a receiver coupled to a portion of the touch electrodes 31, 32 (in this embodiment, the touch electrode 32). 33. The first compensation sensing electrode 20 traverses the data electrode 13 and is located on at least one side (ie, one side, two sides, three sides, four sides, etc.) of the data electrodes 13 to form a plurality of data electrodes 13 The first coupling capacitor Cc1. The first compensation sensing electrode 20 may be perpendicular to the data electrode 13 or may not be perpendicular to the data electrode 13 in a plan view.

接收器33電連接至第一補償感應電極20,並接收從此等觸控電極31、32耦合來的多個第二耦合信號Sc2,以及來自第一補償感應電極20且代表此等第一耦合電容Cc1之多個第一耦合信號Sc1,並依據此等第二耦合信號Sc2與此等第一耦合信號Sc1進行運算以獲得代表觸控位置之 觸控信號,藉以降低或消除來自顯示模組10之雜訊。因此,接收器33中可以包含一處理器。 The receiver 33 is electrically connected to the first compensation sensing electrode 20, and receives a plurality of second coupling signals Sc2 coupled from the touch electrodes 31, 32, and from the first compensation sensing electrode 20 and represents the first coupling capacitors. a plurality of first coupled signals Sc1 of Cc1, and are operated according to the second coupled signals Sc2 and the first coupled signals Sc1 to obtain a representative touch position The touch signal is used to reduce or eliminate noise from the display module 10. Therefore, a processor can be included in the receiver 33.

於一例子中,利用多個第二耦合信號Sc2減去相同感應時段上相同的第一耦合信號Sc1。然而,於另一例子中,顯示器模組跟觸控模組的驅動頻率可能不同,所以也有可能是多個第一耦合信號經過累積或換算之後成為一雜訊信號,再與同一時段上的第二耦合信號進行運算。一般來說,耦合信號會經過類比/數位(A/D)轉換為數位信號,信號處理的辦法可以在A/D轉換前將電荷或電壓強度做運算(簡單的就是相減),也可以在A/D之後將數位信號作計算。另外,因為觸控IC接收的能力不同,有時同一時間只會接收一部分的感應電極信號,所以此部分的第二耦合信號Sc2只要跟此一時間段的第一耦合信號Sc1進行運算即可。 In an example, the same first coupled signal Sc1 over the same sensing period is subtracted from the plurality of second coupled signals Sc2. However, in another example, the driving frequency of the display module and the touch module may be different, so it is also possible that a plurality of first coupled signals become a noise signal after being accumulated or converted, and then with the same period. The two coupled signals are operated. In general, the coupled signal is converted to a digital signal by analog/digital (A/D). The signal processing method can calculate the charge or voltage intensity before the A/D conversion (simplely, subtraction), or The digital signal is calculated after A/D. In addition, because the capability of the touch IC is different, sometimes only a part of the sensing electrode signals are received at the same time, so the second coupling signal Sc2 of this part may be operated only with the first coupling signal Sc1 of the period.

如圖2A與1所示,顯示模組10包含一下基板16以及一上基板17。當然,顯示模組10包含可以更包含一觸控基板35及一發射器34(圖1)。於另一例子中,共同電極、掃描電極及/或資料電極也可能同時具有觸控電極的功能。由於圖2A只是要表示電容耦合狀況,所以關於掃描電極12、資料電極13與畫素電極14的垂直方向的位置關係並未詳細被繪製出來,本領域具有通常知識者可以輕易理解到垂直方向的位置關係是如何配置的,於此不再贅述。 As shown in FIGS. 2A and 1, the display module 10 includes a lower substrate 16 and an upper substrate 17. Of course, the display module 10 can further include a touch substrate 35 and a transmitter 34 (FIG. 1). In another example, the common electrode, the scan electrode, and/or the data electrode may also have the function of a touch electrode. Since FIG. 2A only shows the capacitive coupling condition, the positional relationship with respect to the vertical direction of the scan electrode 12, the data electrode 13 and the pixel electrode 14 is not drawn in detail, and those skilled in the art can easily understand the vertical direction. How the location relationship is configured, and will not be described here.

共同電極11係形成於上基板17之一下表面17B或下基板16之上表面16T且面對下基板16。於其他實施例中,譬如是IPS LCD、FFS LCD、有機電激發光顯示(Organic Electroluminesence Display,OLED)、電泳顯示器(Electro-Phoretic Display,EPD)等顯示器的實施例中,共同電極可能在上基板的下表面,也可能在下基板上表面。 The common electrode 11 is formed on one of the lower surface 17B of the upper substrate 17 or the upper surface 16T of the lower substrate 16 and faces the lower substrate 16. In other embodiments, such as an embodiment of a display such as an IPS LCD, an FFS LCD, an Organic Electroluminescence Display (OLED), or an Electro-Phoretic Display (EPD), the common electrode may be on the upper substrate. The lower surface may also be on the upper surface of the lower substrate.

此等掃描電極12、此等資料電極13以及此等畫素電極14 係形成於下基板16之一上表面16T。共同電極11係形成於上基板17之一下表面17B或下基板16之上表面16T且面對下基板16。此等觸控電極31、32係形成於觸控基板35上。發射器34連接至此等觸控電極31、32,用以發射一發射信號Se至此等觸控電極31、32,來產生此等第二耦合信號Sc2。 The scan electrodes 12, the data electrodes 13 and the pixel electrodes 14 It is formed on one upper surface 16T of the lower substrate 16. The common electrode 11 is formed on one of the lower surface 17B of the upper substrate 17 or the upper surface 16T of the lower substrate 16 and faces the lower substrate 16. The touch electrodes 31 and 32 are formed on the touch substrate 35. The emitters 34 are connected to the touch electrodes 31 and 32 for emitting a transmission signal Se to the touch electrodes 31 and 32 to generate the second coupling signals Sc2.

值得注意的是,圖2A所顯示的觸控模組適用於互容式的觸控結構,其中由一電極(譬如31)發射發射信號Se並由另一電極(譬如32)接收發射信號Se;但也適用於自容式的觸控結構,其中由同一電極發射及接收發射信號。發射器34為產生發射信號的控制電路(IC),接收器33為接收第二耦合信號Sc2與第一耦合信號Sc1的接收電路(IC)。於另一實施例中,觸控模組為自容式的觸控結構,各個電極均負責發射與接收發射信號Se(亦即,接收器33具有發射及接收信號的功能),不變的是兩種觸控模組都是利用同一時段的第二耦合信號Sc2跟同一時段的第一耦合信號Sc1(或是雜訊信號)作運算。 It is noted that the touch module shown in FIG. 2A is applicable to a mutual-capacitive touch structure in which an emission signal Se is emitted by one electrode (for example, 31) and a transmission signal Se is received by another electrode (such as 32); But it is also applicable to a self-contained touch structure in which a transmitting signal is transmitted and received by the same electrode. The transmitter 34 is a control circuit (IC) that generates a transmission signal, and the receiver 33 is a reception circuit (IC) that receives the second coupling signal Sc2 and the first coupling signal Sc1. In another embodiment, the touch module is a self-capacitive touch structure, and each electrode is responsible for transmitting and receiving the transmission signal Se (that is, the receiver 33 has the function of transmitting and receiving signals), and the constant is Both types of touch modules operate with the second coupled signal Sc2 of the same time period and the first coupled signal Sc1 (or the noise signal) of the same period.

值得注意的是,圖2A所要表示的是資料電極13跟掃描電極12的信號耦合到共同電極11的共同電壓Vcom後,再耦合到電容式觸控基板35的原理。因為掃描電極12與資料電極13上會有突波(信號),又與Vcom有一定的重疊面積形成電容,所以突波就會耦合到Vcom,同樣地也會從Vcom再耦合到觸控基板的電極上成為雜訊。 It should be noted that FIG. 2A shows the principle of coupling the signal electrode 13 and the scan electrode 12 to the common voltage Vcom of the common electrode 11 and then coupling it to the capacitive touch substrate 35. Because there is a glitch (signal) on the scan electrode 12 and the data electrode 13, and a certain overlap area with Vcom forms a capacitance, the glitch is coupled to Vcom, and is also recoupled from Vcom to the touch substrate. The electrodes become noise.

圖2B至2D顯示圖2A之變形例。如圖2B所示,此等觸控電極31、32係形成於上基板17之一上表面17T上。於其他變形例中,此等觸控電極31、32可以形成於上基板17之下表面17B上。或者,還有可能的是兩個電極分別配置於:(1)上基板的上表面與上基板的下表面;(2)上基板的上表面與下基板的上表面;以及(3)下基板的上表面且與顯示器的電極共用。 2B to 2D show a modification of Fig. 2A. As shown in FIG. 2B, the touch electrodes 31, 32 are formed on one of the upper surfaces 17T of the upper substrate 17. In other variations, the touch electrodes 31, 32 may be formed on the lower surface 17B of the upper substrate 17. Alternatively, it is also possible that the two electrodes are respectively disposed on: (1) an upper surface of the upper substrate and a lower surface of the upper substrate; (2) an upper surface of the upper substrate and an upper surface of the lower substrate; and (3) a lower substrate The upper surface is shared with the electrodes of the display.

舉例而言,如圖2C所示,此等觸控電極31、32係分別形成於上基板17之下表面17B與上基板17之一上表面17T上。如圖2D所示,此等觸控電極31、32係分別形成於下基板16之上表面16T與上基板17之下表面17B上。 For example, as shown in FIG. 2C, the touch electrodes 31, 32 are respectively formed on the upper surface 17B of the upper substrate 17 and the upper surface 17T of the upper substrate 17. As shown in FIG. 2D, the touch electrodes 31, 32 are formed on the upper surface 16T of the lower substrate 16 and the lower surface 17B of the upper substrate 17, respectively.

於上述實施例中,此等第二耦合信號Sc2係由此等觸控電極31、32產生,觸控電極31、32是屬於採用單面ITO(SITO)的技術達成。然而,於其他實施例中,譬如是採用雙面ITO(DITO)的技術下,此等第二耦合信號Sc2亦可由此等觸控電極31、32與一物體(譬如是手指或觸控筆等)產生。 In the above embodiment, the second coupling signals Sc2 are generated by the touch electrodes 31 and 32, and the touch electrodes 31 and 32 are achieved by a technique using single-sided ITO (SITO). However, in other embodiments, such as double-sided ITO (DITO) technology, the second coupling signal Sc2 can also be used to touch the electrodes 31, 32 and an object (such as a finger or a stylus). )produce.

於上述實施例中,觸控模組之發射電極可以在接收電極的至少一側。 In the above embodiment, the emitter electrode of the touch module may be on at least one side of the receiving electrode.

回到圖1,本實施例的觸控顯示器1之觸控模組30可以更包含一第二補償感應電極25,橫貫於此等掃描電極12並位於此等掃描電極12之至少一側,以與此等掃描電極12形成多個第三耦合電容Cc3。於此情況下,接收器33電連接至第二補償感應電極25,並接收從此等觸控電極31、32耦合來的多個第二耦合信號Sc2,以及來自第二補償感應電極25且代表此等第三耦合電容Cc3之多個第三耦合信號Sc3,並依據此等第二耦合信號Sc2與此等第一耦合信號Sc1及此等第三耦合信號Sc3進行運算以獲得代表觸控位置之觸控信號。 Referring back to FIG. 1 , the touch module 30 of the touch display 1 of the present embodiment further includes a second compensation sensing electrode 25 traversing the scanning electrodes 12 and located on at least one side of the scanning electrodes 12 to A plurality of third coupling capacitors Cc3 are formed with the scan electrodes 12. In this case, the receiver 33 is electrically connected to the second compensation sensing electrode 25, and receives a plurality of second coupling signals Sc2 coupled from the touch electrodes 31, 32, and from the second compensation sensing electrode 25 and represents this And a plurality of third coupling signals Sc3 of the third coupling capacitor Cc3, and according to the second coupling signal Sc2 and the first coupling signal Sc1 and the third coupling signal Sc3 to obtain a touch representing the touch position Control signal.

值得注意的是,上述第一補償感應電極20與第二補償感應電極25可以感應顯示模組之掃描電極12及/或源極電極13上之信號源,以作為觸控感應電極之參考信號以供比對及濾除雜訊。圖3A與3B顯示依據本發明較佳實施例之降低電容式觸控器干擾信號的方式之示意圖。如圖3A與3B所示,掃描電極12與資料電極13隔開一垂直距離。資料電極13上 的顯示信號s1~s7會直接或間接耦合到電容式觸控基板的觸控電極31與32上,而造成雜訊。因為有補償感應電極20的設置,資料電極13上的顯示信號s1~s7也會耦合到補償感應電極20上。而且,此補償感應電極20的耦合信號將會與電容式觸控基板的觸控電極上之耦合信號同步並有對應的強度關係,因此可以將兩個耦合信號加以運算後扣除,如此就可以將顯示器所造成的干擾雜訊降低或消除。舉例而言,補償信號Vref的波形近似觸控電極的接收電極的信號Rx的波形或具有某種關係,經過接收電極的信號Rx+耦合信號-補償信號*增益值後,可以再生出原始的或類似原始的觸控信號,降低或消除雜訊的干擾。 It should be noted that the first compensation sensing electrode 20 and the second compensation sensing electrode 25 can sense the signal source on the scan electrode 12 and/or the source electrode 13 of the display module as a reference signal of the touch sensing electrode. For comparison and filtering of noise. 3A and 3B are diagrams showing a manner of reducing interference signals of a capacitive touch controller according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the scan electrode 12 is spaced apart from the data electrode 13 by a vertical distance. Data electrode 13 The display signals s1~s7 are directly or indirectly coupled to the touch electrodes 31 and 32 of the capacitive touch substrate to cause noise. Because of the setting of the compensation sensing electrode 20, the display signals s1 to s7 on the data electrode 13 are also coupled to the compensation sensing electrode 20. Moreover, the coupling signal of the compensation sensing electrode 20 is synchronized with the coupling signal on the touch electrode of the capacitive touch substrate and has a corresponding intensity relationship. Therefore, the two coupling signals can be operated and deducted, so that The interference noise caused by the display is reduced or eliminated. For example, the waveform of the compensation signal Vref approximates the waveform of the signal Rx of the receiving electrode of the touch electrode or has a certain relationship. After the signal Rx+ coupled signal-compensation signal* gain value of the receiving electrode, the original or similar can be reproduced. The original touch signal reduces or eliminates noise interference.

假設在沒有補償感應電極的情況下,觸控基板感測到的電容是C+△C touch +△C display_naise ,其中△C touch 表示觸控行為造成的電容變化,△C display_noise 表示從顯示器耦合來的雜訊。那麼在有補償感應電極的情況下,觸控基板感測到的電容會變成C+△C touch +△C display_noise -αC display_sensing ,其中α為一個係數,其與觸控顯示器的電氣信號及設計參數有關,包含但不限於位置、時間、強度及相位等。△C display_sensing 表示補償感應電極與資料電極13耦合產生的電容變化量。透過調整增益值α,即可有效消除從顯示器耦合而來的△C display_noise 。詳言之,假設第一耦合信號為Sc1(t),分區式第一耦合信號為Sc1x(t),第三耦合信號為Sc3(t),那麼電容式觸控信號Sc2mn(t)=CTmn(t)+Smn2(t)+Sn(t),其中m,n代表觸控感測器之感測點位置,CTmn(t)代表發射與觸控信號,Sn(t)代表其他雜訊,Smn2(t)代表接收來自顯示器的雜訊。如此一來,處理過之觸控信號=Sc2mn(t)-f1(m,n,t,i,ψ,c)×Sc1x(t)-f2(m,n,t,i,ψ,c)×Sc3(t),其中f1代表一個增益值函數,f2代表另一增益值函數,而m,n,t,i,ψ,c分別代表位置、時間、強度、相位及常數為f1及f2函數中之變數。關於補償電極的佈局,可以考慮採用:(1)由其他電極覆蓋的佈局,避免觸控 掃描信號耦合;(2)閘極電極的換層方法的佈局;(3)掃描電極與資料電極共用補償電極的佈局;以及(4)分區域之補償電極的設計。 It is assumed that the capacitance sensed by the touch substrate is C + △ C touch + Δ C display_naise without compensating the sensing electrode, wherein Δ C touch indicates the capacitance change caused by the touch behavior, and Δ C display_noise indicates that the display is coupled from the display. The noise. Then, in the case of the compensation sensing electrode, the capacitance sensed by the touch substrate becomes C + Δ C touch + Δ C display_noise - α Δ C display_sen sin g , where α is a coefficient, which is electrically connected to the touch display Signal and design parameters are related, including but not limited to position, time, intensity and phase. Δ C display_sen sin g represents the amount of change in capacitance caused by the coupling of the sensing electrode and the data electrode 13. By adjusting the gain value α , Δ C display_noise coupled from the display can be effectively eliminated. In detail, assuming that the first coupled signal is Sc1(t), the partitioned first coupled signal is Sc1 x (t), and the third coupled signal is Sc3(t), then the capacitive touch signal Sc2 mn (t)= CT mn (t)+S mn 2(t)+S n (t), where m,n represents the position of the sensing point of the touch sensor, CT mn (t) represents the emission and touch signal, Sn(t) On behalf of other noise, S mn 2(t) represents receiving noise from the display. In this way, the processed touch signal=Sc2 mn (t)-f 1 (m,n,t,i,ψ,c)×Sc1 x (t)-f 2 (m,n,t,i, ψ, c) × Sc3(t), where f 1 represents a gain value function, f 2 represents another gain value function, and m, n, t, i, ψ, c represent position, time, intensity, phase, and The constants are variables in the f1 and f2 functions. Regarding the layout of the compensation electrode, it is conceivable to adopt: (1) a layout covered by other electrodes to avoid coupling of the touch scan signal; (2) layout of the gate electrode replacement method; (3) sharing compensation between the scan electrode and the data electrode The layout of the electrodes; and (4) the design of the compensation electrodes in the sub-regions.

藉由上述說明,可以得知前述的第一補償感應電極20與第二補償感應電極25也可以被省略掉,而以在顯示模組10中利用計算的方式就可以得到補償信號,說明如後。 According to the above description, it can be known that the first compensation sensing electrode 20 and the second compensation sensing electrode 25 can also be omitted, and the compensation signal can be obtained by using the calculation method in the display module 10, as illustrated. .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the touch display 1 ′ of the embodiment includes a display module 10 and a touch module 30 . The display module 10 includes a common electrode 11, a scan electrode 12, a data electrode 13, and a pixel electrode 14. The scan electrodes 12 are spaced apart from the data electrodes 13 by a vertical distance. These pixel electrodes 14 are disposed on one side of the common electrode 11. The gate driver 18 and the data driver 19 of the display module 10 are electrically connected to the control circuit 15 of the display module 10. The control circuit 15 controls the operation of the gate driver 18 and the data driver 19, so that the control circuit 15 also knows the electrical signals (such as voltage) of each of the scan electrodes and the data electrodes. The control circuit 15 is further configured to generate a first compensation signal Sc4 according to the plurality of electrical signals of the data electrodes 13. The touch module 30 includes a plurality of touch electrodes 31, 32 and a receiver 33 coupled to a portion of the touch electrodes 31, 32. The receiver 33 is electrically connected to the display module 10, and receives the plurality of coupling signals Sc2 and the first compensation signal Sc4 coupled from the touch electrodes 31, 32, and performs the coupling signal Sc2 and the first compensation signal Sc4 according to the signals. The operation is performed to obtain a touch signal representing a touch position. Similarly, the control circuit 15 of the display module 10 generates a second compensation signal Sc5 according to the plurality of electrical signals of the scan electrodes 12. The receiver 33 performs operations according to the coupling signal Sc2, the first compensation signal Sc4, and the second compensation signal Sc5 to obtain a touch signal representing a touch position. The data signal output by the data driver 19 can be calculated as a first compensation signal Sc4, or SS(t)=g(Ss1(t), . . . , Ssmn(t)), and the scan of the output of the gate driver 18. The signal can be calculated as a second compensation signal Sc5, or SG(t) = f(Sg1(t), ..., Sgmn(t)). In this way, the processed touch signal=Sc2 mn (t)-f 1 (m,n,t,i, ψ,c)×SG(t)-f 2 (m,n,t,,ψ, c) × SS(t). Therefore, such a design can also obtain the effects of the present invention.

圖5顯示依據本發明之又另一實施例之第一補償感應電極的示意圖。於圖5中,提出了一種分區域之補償電極的設計。由於觸控電極可能會有區域性的差異,所以可以將補償感應電極切成多個區段。因此,第一補償感應電極20包含多個區段,各區段電連接至接收器33,以將分區的第一耦合信號Sc1傳輸至接收器33,避免全部區域的第一耦合信號Sc1耦合在一起,如此可以獲得更佳的干擾降低效果。 FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a first compensation sensing electrode in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 5, a sub-regional compensation electrode design is presented. Since the touch electrodes may have regional differences, the compensation sensing electrodes may be cut into a plurality of segments. Therefore, the first compensation sensing electrode 20 includes a plurality of segments, each segment being electrically connected to the receiver 33 to transmit the first coupling signal Sc1 of the segment to the receiver 33, preventing the first coupling signal Sc1 of the entire region from being coupled to Together, this can achieve better interference reduction.

根據本發明之上述實施例,可以依據顯示模組於執行該顯示動作時的電信號作補償以執行一觸控感應動作來獲得代表一個或多個觸控位置之一觸控信號,或者顯示器上之補償感應電極可以提供與電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極上掃描信號及源極電極上之顯示信號之雜訊在時間及強度上相關之同步補償感應信號,並可根據其在時間與強度上的關係,過濾電容式觸控器電極上耦合自顯示器之閘極上掃描信號及源極電極上之顯示信號之雜訊。藉由在顯示器上建構一組以上的補償感應電極,此補償感應電極與閘極電極及源極電極之間形成電容使閘極電極及源極電極之信號亦可以耦合至補償感應電極。由於補償感應電極與閘極電極及源極電極之架構與電容式觸控器上之電極與顯示器上閘極電極及源極電極之架構類似,使補償感應電極上之耦合信號與電容式觸控器上之耦合信號類似,因此可以提供一在時間上與強度上與電容觸控器上之雜訊信號相關之信號,以作為判斷觸控補償感應信號與顯示器雜訊之根據,並利用比對電路,即時將電容觸控器電極信號中之雜訊過濾或減除,以提升電容式觸控信號之信噪比(Signal-to-Noise Ratio),提升電容式觸控器之感測性能。 According to the above embodiment of the present invention, the touch signal may be compensated according to the electrical signal when the display module performs the display action to perform a touch sensing action to obtain a touch signal representing one or more touch positions, or on the display. The compensation sensing electrode can provide a synchronous compensation sensing signal related to the time and intensity of the noise on the gate of the capacitive touch sensor coupled with the scanning signal on the gate of the display and the display signal on the source electrode, and can be based on The relationship between time and intensity, the noise of the capacitive touch sensor electrode coupled to the scan signal on the gate of the display and the display signal on the source electrode. By constructing more than one compensation sensing electrode on the display, a capacitance is formed between the compensation sensing electrode and the gate electrode and the source electrode so that the signals of the gate electrode and the source electrode can also be coupled to the compensation sensing electrode. Since the structure of the compensation sensing electrode and the gate electrode and the source electrode is similar to the structure of the electrode on the capacitive touch sensor and the gate electrode and the source electrode of the display, the coupling signal on the sensing electrode and the capacitive touch are compensated. The coupling signal on the device is similar, so that a signal related to the noise signal on the capacitive touch sensor in time and intensity can be provided as a basis for judging the touch compensation sensing signal and the display noise, and using the comparison. The circuit instantly filters or subtracts the noise in the electrode signal of the capacitive touch sensor to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the capacitive touch signal and improve the sensing performance of the capacitive touch sensor.
