圖1是依照本發明實施例說明一種觸控顯示模組100的電路方塊示意圖。觸控顯示模組100包括一控制器110、至少一閘極驅動器(gate driver)120、至少一源極驅動器(source driver)130、一觸控顯示面板140以及至少一觸控接收器150。觸控顯示面板140具有多條資料線(例如資料線D_1、D_2、D_3、D_4、D_5、D_6、…、D_n)與多條掃描線(例如掃描線S_1、S_2、S_3、…、S_m)。閘極驅動器120耦接至觸控顯示面板140的掃描線S_1~S_m,源極驅動器130耦接至觸控顯示面板140的資料線D_1~D_n。觸控顯示模組100的驅動方法如下所述。 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a circuit of a touch display module 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. The touch display module 100 includes a controller 110, at least one gate driver 120, at least one source driver 130, a touch display panel 140, and at least one touch receiver 150. The touch display panel 140 has a plurality of data lines (for example, data lines D_1, D_2, D_3, D_4, D_5, D_6, ..., D_n) and a plurality of scan lines (for example, scan lines S_1, S_2, S_3, ..., S_m). The gate driver 120 is coupled to the scan lines S_1 S S_m of the touch display panel 140 , and the source driver 130 is coupled to the data lines D_1 D D_n of the touch display panel 140 . The driving method of the touch display module 100 is as follows.

依據控制器110的控制,閘極驅動器120與源極驅動器 130在顯示模式中分別驅動觸控顯示面板140之掃描線(閘極線)S_1~S_m與資料線(源極線)D_1~D_n。閘極驅動器120依序提供電壓以開啟掃描線S_1~S_m之像素(pixel),而源極驅動器130將與影像資料相關的多個像素驅動信號分別提供至資料線D_1~D_n。因此,源極驅動器130可以在顯示模式中驅動觸控顯示面板140顯示對應影像。在顯示模式中,觸控接收器150可以被禁能(disable)。 Gate driver 120 and source driver according to control of controller 110 The scan lines (gate lines) S_1~S_m and the data lines (source lines) D_1~D_n of the touch display panel 140 are respectively driven in the display mode. The gate driver 120 sequentially supplies a voltage to turn on the pixels of the scan lines S_1 to S_m, and the source driver 130 supplies a plurality of pixel driving signals related to the image data to the data lines D_1 to D_n, respectively. Therefore, the source driver 130 can drive the touch display panel 140 to display a corresponding image in the display mode. In the display mode, the touch receiver 150 can be disabled.

在觸控模式中,閘極驅動器120可以被禁能,而觸控接收器150可以被致能(enable)。源極驅動器130在觸控模式將資料線D_1~D_n分群為多個群組。源極驅動器130在觸控模式將多個觸控驅動信號分別輸出至這些群組,其中在觸控模式中屬於同一群組的資料線被提供相同的觸控驅動信號。換句話說,源極驅動器130在觸控模式中可以被當作觸控偵測的發送器(transmitter,Tx)使用,而資料線D_1~D_n在觸控模式可以被當作觸控面板的驅動線使用。上述觸控驅動信號包括正弦信號、餘弦信號、時脈脈衝或其他用於觸控偵測的驅動信號。依據資料線D_1~D_n的觸控驅動信號,觸控接收器(receiver,Rx)150可以在觸控模式中感測/讀取掃描線S_1~S_m的資訊,並將所述資訊傳送給控制器110。藉由分析/計算觸控接收器150所提供的所述資訊,控制器110可以判斷觸控顯示面板140是否發生觸碰事件,以及獲得在觸控顯示面板140上的觸碰位置。 In the touch mode, the gate driver 120 can be disabled and the touch receiver 150 can be enabled. The source driver 130 groups the data lines D_1 to D_n into a plurality of groups in the touch mode. The source driver 130 outputs a plurality of touch driving signals to the groups in the touch mode, wherein the data lines belonging to the same group in the touch mode are provided with the same touch driving signal. In other words, the source driver 130 can be used as a transmitter (Tx) for touch detection in the touch mode, and the data lines D_1~D_n can be used as the touch panel driver in the touch mode. Line use. The touch driving signal includes a sinusoidal signal, a cosine signal, a clock pulse or other driving signals for touch detection. According to the touch driving signals of the data lines D_1~D_n, the touch receiver (receiver, Rx) 150 can sense/read the information of the scan lines S_1~S_m in the touch mode, and transmit the information to the controller. 110. The controller 110 can determine whether the touch display panel 140 has a touch event and obtain a touch position on the touch display panel 140 by analyzing/calculating the information provided by the touch receiver 150.

舉例來說,在一些實施例中,資料線D_1~D_3可以被 分群為第一群組而共同傳送源極驅動器130所提供的第一觸控驅動信號,而資料線D_4~D_6可以被分群為第二群組而共同傳送源極驅動器130所提供的第二觸控驅動信號,其餘依此類推。在另一些實施例中,資料線D_1~D_6可以被分群為第一群組而共同傳送源極驅動器130所提供的第一觸控驅動信號,而資料線D_7~D_12(未繪示)可以被分群為第二群組而共同傳送源極驅動器130所提供的第二觸控驅動信號。在這些群組被驅動的過程中,觸控接收器150可以在觸控模式中感測/讀取這些群組的資訊,並將所述資訊傳送給控制器110。 For example, in some embodiments, the data lines D_1~D_3 can be The first touch driving signals provided by the source driver 130 are collectively transmitted by the first group, and the data lines D_4 D D_6 can be grouped into the second group to jointly transmit the second touch provided by the source driver 130. Control the drive signal, and so on. In other embodiments, the data lines D_1~D_6 may be grouped into a first group to jointly transmit the first touch driving signal provided by the source driver 130, and the data lines D_7~D_12 (not shown) may be The second touch driving signals provided by the source driver 130 are collectively transmitted by the second group. During the driving of these groups, the touch receiver 150 can sense/read the information of the groups in the touch mode and transmit the information to the controller 110.

資料線D_1~D_n分群方式不應受限於上述方式。在另一些實施例中,不同群組中的資料線數量可以互不相同。舉例來說,在觸控顯示面板140邊緣的群組中的資料線數量可以大於在觸控顯示面板140中央區域的群組中的資料線數量。在其他實施例中,觸控顯示面板140可能被定義了觸控筆觸控區域(用以偵測觸控筆的觸碰事件)與手指觸控區域(用以偵測手指的觸碰事件)。由於觸碰面積的不同,觸控筆觸控區域需要較高的觸控解析度,而手指觸控區域要較低的觸控解析度。因此,在觸控顯示面板140的手指觸控區域中群組的資料線數量可以大於在觸控顯示面板140的觸控筆觸控區域中群組的資料線數量。 The data line D_1~D_n grouping method should not be limited to the above method. In other embodiments, the number of data lines in different groups may be different from each other. For example, the number of data lines in the group at the edge of the touch display panel 140 may be greater than the number of data lines in the group in the central area of the touch display panel 140. In other embodiments, the touch display panel 140 may be defined with a stylus touch area (to detect a touch event of the stylus) and a finger touch area (to detect a touch event of the finger). Due to the different touch areas, the touch area of the stylus requires a higher touch resolution, while the touch area of the finger requires a lower touch resolution. Therefore, the number of data lines of the group in the finger touch area of the touch display panel 140 may be greater than the number of data lines of the group in the touch pen touch area of the touch display panel 140.

綜上所述,源極驅動器130在觸控模式中可以被當作觸控偵測的發送器使用,資料線D_1~D_n在觸控模式可以被當作觸控感測器的驅動電極使用,而掃描線S_1~S_m在觸控模式可以 被當作觸控感測器的感測電極使用。基於資料線D_1~D_n可以被分群為多群組,在觸控模式中觸控顯示面板140的觸控解析度可以視設計需求來決定。換句話說,顯示解析度可以不同於觸控解析度。再者,相較於單一條資料線所傳送的能量,經群組化的資料線(屬於同一群組的多條資料線)可以共同傳送更大能量,以利觸碰偵測。 In summary, the source driver 130 can be used as a transmitter for touch detection in the touch mode, and the data lines D_1~D_n can be used as the driving electrodes of the touch sensor in the touch mode. The scan lines S_1~S_m can be in touch mode. Used as a sensing electrode for touch sensors. The data lines D_1~D_n can be grouped into multiple groups. In the touch mode, the touch resolution of the touch display panel 140 can be determined according to design requirements. In other words, the display resolution can be different from the touch resolution. Moreover, compared to the energy transmitted by a single data line, grouped data lines (multiple data lines belonging to the same group) can collectively transmit more energy for touch detection.

驅動通道132_1包括第一閂鎖器211、第二閂鎖器212、第一多工器213及緩衝器214。在一些實施例中,緩衝器214可能被實現為單元增益緩衝器(unity-gain buffer)。第一閂鎖器211的輸入端接收控制器110所提供的像素資料。第一閂鎖器211的觸發端接收移位暫存器134所提供的閂鎖時脈。第二閂鎖器212的輸入端耦接第一閂鎖器211的輸出端。第二閂鎖器212的觸發端接收控制器110所提供的線閂鎖信號。第二閂鎖器212於顯示模式會依據控制器110所提供的線閂鎖信號決定是否閂鎖並輸出第一閂鎖器211所提供的像素資料。第二閂鎖器212於觸控模式閂 鎖並輸出分群資料。 The drive channel 132_1 includes a first latch 211, a second latch 212, a first multiplexer 213, and a buffer 214. In some embodiments, buffer 214 may be implemented as a unity-gain buffer. The input of the first latch 211 receives the pixel data provided by the controller 110. The trigger terminal of the first latch 211 receives the latch clock provided by the shift register 134. The input end of the second latch 212 is coupled to the output end of the first latch 211. The trigger end of the second latch 212 receives the line latch signal provided by the controller 110. The second latch 212 in the display mode determines whether to latch and output the pixel data provided by the first latch 211 according to the line latch signal provided by the controller 110. The second latch 212 is latched in the touch mode Lock and output the grouped data.
