在某些實施例中,由於第三電極層25所覆蓋的範圍涵蓋整個顯示面板30,而使用者手持包含該顯示面板30的電子裝置時,即可能用手或身體的某部位碰觸到第三電極層25。據此,第三電極層25即透過人體接地,而無須再接到該電子裝置所提供的接地電位。 In some embodiments, since the range covered by the third electrode layer 25 covers the entire display panel 30, and the user holds the electronic device including the display panel 30, it may touch the first part of the hand or the body.

The dot spacer layer 44 is located between the second electrode layer 43 and the third electrode layer 45, and may be formed on one of the upper surface of the second electrode layer 43 or the lower surface of the third electrode layer 45. The dot spacer layer 44 has dots arranged at a plurality of dots, which may be made of a hard or elastic material.

實際操作時,透過控制單元50在第一電極層41上施加驅動訊號,並經由第二電極層43偵測第一電極層41與第二電極層43之各個位置的電容耦合量C3。此外,將第三電極層45接地,第二電極層43與第三電極層45 之間有另一電容耦合量C4。當有外界物體,例如手指或觸控筆壓觸壓力感測觸控面板40時,上方的第三電極層45會向下形變,導致第二電極層43與第三電極層45的電容耦合量改變,影響了控制單元50經由第二電極層43所測量到的訊號大小。藉由控制單元50驅動第一電極層41,並經由第二電極層43的所有感測電極測量所有的電容耦合量的變化量,不僅可以得知外界物體的觸碰位置,並且依據控制單元50經由第二電極層43所測量到的訊號大小,可以經由控制單元40推算出外界物體施加在壓力感測觸控面板40上的壓力大小。 In actual operation, the driving signal is applied to the first electrode layer 41 through the control unit 50, and the capacitive coupling amount C3 of each position of the first electrode layer 41 and the second electrode layer 43 is detected via the second electrode layer 43. Further, the third electrode layer 45 is grounded, and the second electrode layer 43 and the third electrode layer 45 are There is another capacitive coupling amount C4 between. When an external object such as a finger or a stylus is pressed against the pressure sensing touch panel 40, the upper third electrode layer 45 is deformed downward, resulting in a capacitive coupling amount between the second electrode layer 43 and the third electrode layer 45. The change affects the signal size measured by the control unit 50 via the second electrode layer 43. The first electrode layer 41 is driven by the control unit 50, and the amount of change of all the capacitive coupling amounts is measured via all the sensing electrodes of the second electrode layer 43 to not only know the touch position of the external object, but also according to the control unit 50. The magnitude of the pressure applied by the external object on the pressure sensing touch panel 40 can be estimated via the control unit 40 via the signal magnitude measured by the second electrode layer 43.
