Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is an interlaced driving method of the touch sensing display 100 according to the embodiment. The driving method is a display module 20 displaying a frame as an example, and the display mode is displayed. The period in which the group 20 displays a frame can be divided into a display period and a sensing period.

First, when the display module 20 is in the display period, the control circuit 303 first switches the grounding switch 209 in the display module 20 to be in an on state, so that the common electrode layer 205 is grounded (step S10), and then the first driving circuit 301 and The second driving circuit 302 operates and drives the display module 20 to display a picture (step S20), so that the noise interference of the common electrode layer 205 can be avoided to obtain better picture quality. When the display module 20 enters the sensing period, the control circuit 303 first switches the grounding switch 209 to a non-conduction state, so that the common electrode layer 205 is floating (step S30), and then the sensing unit 4 is directed to each of the first directions. The wire 1 and the second direction wire 2 are subjected to touch scanning (step S40).

In other words, the control module 30 switches the opening and closing of the grounding switch 209 according to the display period of the display module 20 to achieve control of the display screen and touch scan optimization, and during the sensing period of the display module 20 during the sensing period. Control circuit 303 also turns backlight 40 off (or darkens). In addition, in the embodiment, the display module 20 alternately and repeatedly switches between the display period and the sensing period to display the screen and the touch sensing, that is, when the touch sensing display 100 operates, it continuously The above steps S10 to S40 are repeatedly performed, so that the grounding switch 209 can float or ground the common electrode layer 205 in accordance with different periods.

However, in step S40, the touch sensing of the interleaved driving performed by the sensing unit 4 for each of the first direction wire 1 and the second direction wire 2 is performed. The method is mainly to emit a detection signal from at least one first direction wire 1 (or the second direction wire 2), and receive the detection signal from at least another first direction wire 1 (or second direction wire 2), to sense The charge, capacitance, magnetic flux, electromagnetic induction, or voltage, current, frequency, and the like of the first direction wire 1 (or the second direction wire 2) are measured.

In detail, the sensing method may also transmit the detection signal from the plurality of incompletely adjacent first direction wires 1 and receive the detection signal from the other plurality of incompletely adjacent second direction wires 2; or from the plurality of lines The completely adjacent second direction wire 2 emits the detection signal and receives the detection signal from the other plurality of incompletely adjacent first direction wires 1.

The sensing unit 4 senses the method of touching the position of the user's finger, and can have the following types:

Referring to FIG. 3, the first sensing mode is that the sensing unit 4 selects a first direction wire 1 (for example, X ₁ ) to emit a detection signal, and receives the detection signal from another first direction wire 1 (for example, X ₂ ). , the signal change of the first direction wire X ₂ can be sensed, and then the detection signal is transmitted from the first direction wire X _{2 in the} same manner, the detection signal is received from the first direction wire X ₃ , and so on, so as to sense all The signal of the first direction wire 1 changes. In other words, at a first time, the sensing unit 4 will detect _a signal emitted from the first wire direction X, and a direction from the first wire receives the detection signal X _2, and then at a second time, the sensing unit will be from 4 The first direction wire X ₂ emits a detection signal, and receives the detection signal from the first direction wire X ₃ , so as to sequentially sense the charge, capacitance, magnetic flux, electromagnetic induction, or voltage, current, and current of each first direction wire 1 . The frequency and the like, until an M-1th time, the detection signal is transmitted from the first direction wire X _M-1 , and the detection signal is received from the first direction wire X _M .

The second sensing mode is that the sensing unit 4 selects a first direction wire 1 (for example, X ₁ ) to emit a detection signal, and receives the detection signal from the remaining plurality of first direction wires 1 (for example, X ₂ ~X ₅ ). Thus, the "single strip transmission, multiple strips" method can also sense the signal changes of all the first direction wires 1.

The third sensing mode is that the sensing unit 4 selects a plurality of first direction wires 1 (for example, X ₁ ~ X ₄ ) to emit detection signals, and receives the detection signals from the remaining first direction wires 1 (for example, X ₅ ). Thus, the "multiple transmissions, single reception" method can also sense the signal changes of all the first direction wires 1.

The fourth sensing mode is that the sensing unit 4 selects a plurality of first direction wires 1 (for example, X ₁ ~ X ₂ ) to emit detection signals, and from the remaining plurality of first direction wires 1 (for example, X ₃ ~ X ₄ ) Receiving the detection signal, in other words, the plurality of first direction wires 1 can be divided into a plurality of wire groups, and the sensing unit 4 can first select a first wire group (for example, X ₁ ~ X ₂ ) to emit a detection signal, and from the first The two wire groups (eg, X ₃ ~X ₄ ) receive the detection signal, and then transmit the detection signal from the second wire group, and receive the detection signal from a third wire group (eg, X ₅ ~X ₆ ), and then Transmitting a detection signal from the third group of conductors, and receiving a detection signal from a fourth group of conductors (eg, X ₇ ~X ₈ ); or, first selecting a first group of conductors (eg, X ₁ ~X ₂ ) to transmit Detecting a signal and receiving a detection signal from a second group of conductors (eg, X ₃ ~X ₄ ), and then transmitting a detection signal from a third group of conductors (eg, X ₅ ~X ₆ ), and from a fourth conductor The group (for example, X ₇ ~ X ₈ ) receives the detection signal; or, first selects a first group of conductors (for example, X ₁ ~ X ₂ ) to transmit the detection signal And receiving a detection signal from a third conductor group (eg, X ₅ ~X ₆ ), and then transmitting a detection signal from a second conductor group (eg, X ₃ ~X ₄ ), and from a fourth conductor group ( For example, X ₇ ~ X ₈ ) receive the detection signal, so the "multiple transmission, multiple reception" method can also sense the signal change of all the first direction wires 1. In addition, the at least four wire group, wherein the first wire group, the second wire group, the third wire group, and the first direction wire of the fourth wire group may partially overlap, overlap or not overlap .

The fifth sensing method and the fourth sensing method are the same as "multiple transmissions, multiple receptions". The difference is that the first direction wires 1 of the sensing unit 4 transmitting the detection signals and the receiving detection signals The first direction wires 1 are at least partially staggered with each other. For example, the sensing unit 4 selects the first direction wire X ₁ and the first direction wire X _{3 to} emit a detection signal, and selects the first direction wire X ₂ and the first direction wire X _{4 .} And the first direction wire X ₅ receives the detection signal, so that the signal change of all the first direction wires 1 can be sensed as well. In addition, referring to FIG. 6, the first direction wire 1 for transmitting the detection signal has a first image, and the first direction wire 1 for detecting the detection signal may have a second image, the first image and the first image. The second image may be various shapes or structures such as strips, diamonds, and squares, and the present embodiment is of a matrix type, and the shapes of the two may be the same or different.

Since the first direction wire 1 and the second direction wire 2 of the embodiment are disposed at a higher density (ie, the wire spacing is only 30 to 100 μm), the user touches the panel (display module 20) to cover a plurality of articles. The first direction wire 1 and the second direction wire 2, therefore, in the above various sensing modes, the first direction wire 1 (or the second direction wire 2) transmitting the detection signal and the first direction wire 1 receiving the detection signal (or The two-directional wires 2) are separated by at least one first-directional wire 1 (or the second-direction wire 2). For example, the sensing unit 4 selects the first-direction wire X _{1 to} emit a detection signal, and selects the first-direction wire X _{4 to} receive the detection. The signal is then transmitted from the first direction wire X _{4 to the} detection signal, the first direction wire X ₇ receives the detection signal and so on, and it is not necessary to sense the signal change of all the first direction wires 1 to save the scanning times and time. Similarly, the sensing unit 4 can calculate the position, distance, touch height, and touch point of the user's finger touching the display module 20. In addition, the above various sensing methods are also applicable to the sensing of the second direction wire 2, so no further description is made.

Furthermore, referring to FIG. 5, the common electrode layer 205 is floated before the sensing unit 4 performs touch scanning, and more specifically, to prevent the sensing unit 4 from being interfered by the common electrode layer 205 when receiving the detection signal. Therefore, the common electrode layer 205 can be floated before receiving the detection signal, that is, when the display module 20 is in the sensing period, the sensing unit 4 can first transmit the detection signal by using one of the above sensing modes, and then control. The circuit 303 switches the grounding switch 209 to a non-conducting state to float the common electrode layer 205, and then receives the detection signal, so that the effect of the touch scanning optimization control can be achieved.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the touch sensing display 100 of the present embodiment further includes a touch sensing module 10 , a display module 20 , a control module 30 , and a backlight 40 (the touch sensing module 10 is The control module 30 is omitted in FIG. 14 and has a housing 50 disposed therein.

In order to reduce the overall thickness of the touch sensitive display 100, the manufacturing cost is reduced.

Referring to FIG. 8 , a second preferred embodiment of the touch-sensing display of the interleaved driving of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the display module 20 is a pixel array layer 203 and a common electrode layer 205 ( FIG. 4 ).

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, the interleaved driving method of the touch sensing display 100 of the present embodiment is similar to that of the first preferred embodiment. The period in which the display module 20 displays a frame is also divided into a display period and a During the sensing period, the sensing period of the embodiment can be further divided into a capacitive touch sensing period and an electromagnetic touch sensing period.

Turning on, the common electrode layer 205 is grounded; and when the display module 20 enters the capacitive touch sensing period during sensing, the sensing unit 4 performs the sensing user's finger touch as described in the first preferred embodiment. The method of the position, that is, one of the five sensing modes, and the control module 30 cooperates with the sensing unit 4 to transmit and receive the sensing wire 5 of the detection signal to make the corresponding switching circuit 7 non-conductive, so that the sensing unit 4 senses the The electric charge, capacitance, magnetic flux, electromagnetic induction, or voltage, current, frequency and other parameters of the inductive wire 5 are numerically determined to determine the position, distance, and touch of the user when the finger touches the display module 20. And the degree of touch point, the touch scanning achieve optimal efficacy of the present invention the control.
