When the cathode voltage changes with the display mode of the mobile phone (for example, when the display screen is dark or light) (e.g., −1V˜−5V), the electric quantity of the coupling capacitance between the emitter and receiver electrodes and the cathode may be changed, resulting in the change of the amount of variation of the electric field of the receiver electrode, thereby affecting the touch performance. - A technical problem to be solved by the disclosure is to provide a touch device and a touch method of a flexible OLED display apparatus which can effectively improve consistency of touch functions.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of a touch device of a flexible display apparatus according to the second embodiment of the disclosure. - The following description of various embodiments is made with reference to the accompanying drawings to illustrate specific embodiments in which the disclosure may be practiced.
- Referring to
FIG. 3 , which shows a touch method of a flexible OLED display apparatus according to the first embodiment of the disclosure, including: - acquiring a variation value of a cathode voltage when the display mode of the flexible OLED display apparatus is switched;
- comparing the variation value of the cathode voltage with a preset threshold value, and when the variation value of the cathode voltage exceeds the preset threshold value, increasing an emitter electrode voltage of a touch electrode layer in the flexible OLED display apparatus.
- When the display mode is switched, the cathode voltage will change. In this embodiment, the acquired variation value of the cathode voltage is compared with a preset threshold value. If the variation value of the cathode voltage exceeds the preset threshold value, it indicates that the cathode voltage changes to be larger; in order to keep an amount of variation of an electric quantity of an receiver electrode constant when the cathode voltage is changed, so as to keep the electric quantity of a node capacitance between the emitter electrode and the receiver electrode unchanged, the voltage output amplitude of the emitter electrode must be adjusted accordingly, thus improving the consistency of touch performance.
- In this embodiment, there are several ways to acquire the variation value of the cathode voltage. One of the ways is to use the current cathode voltage of the flexible display apparatus and the reference voltage as two inputs of the operational amplifier in the differential amplifier circuit as shown in
FIG. 4 . The output voltage Vout of the operational amplifier is the amount of variation of the cathode voltage: -
- Here, the reference voltage Vref is the cathode voltage when the flexible display apparatus is in the normal mode,
- When R=Rf, Vout=ELVSS−Vref, that is, the difference between the two; when Rf=2R, Vout=2(ELVSS−Vref), which is twice the difference between the two; that is, the variation value of the cathode voltage is a difference between the current cathode voltage and the reference voltage, or a multiple of the difference,
- Another way to acquire the variation value of the cathode voltage is to input the current cathode voltage from the D/A conversion interface into the touch IC. The touch IC acquires the digital variation value through the analog variation of the cathode voltage, that is, the variation value of the cathode voltage.
- For switching between different display modes of the flexible display apparatus, the preset threshold value Vth is not fixed, for example, when the normal mode is switched to the highlight mode, the preset threshold value is a first preset threshold value, which is denoted as Vth1; when the normal mode is switched to the fade mode, the preset threshold value is a second preset threshold value, which is denoted as Vth2. Therefore, each threshold value can be preset for the switching of each display mode as an accurate reference value compared with the variation value of the cathode voltage. The upper limit of the preset threshold value does not exceed the actual amount of variation of the cathode voltage at the time of switching of the display mode. For example, when the cathode voltage is reduced by 2V, the preset threshold value may be 1.5 V or 1.2 V, in this way, when the cathode voltage variation exceeds 1.5 V or 1.2 V, that is, the emitter electrode voltage is increased, and the constant electric quantity of the node capacitance between the emitter electrode and the receiver electrode can be realized, thereby avoiding the defect of the touch performance brought by the reduction of the cathode voltage by 2V. In addition, due to the manufacturing process of the flexible OLED display apparatus, the actual variation of the cathode voltage of the different screens during the switching of the display mode is not the same. For example, when the normal mode is switched to the highlight mode, the actual amount of variation of the cathode voltage of the screen 1 is 2V, and the actual amount of variation of the cathode voltage of the screen 2 is 2.2V. In this embodiment, the cathode voltage is detected in real time to acquire the variation value of the cathode voltage, which can be applied to different screens.
- Referring to
FIG. 5 again, in the normal mode, the voltage amplitude of the emitter electrode TX is VDD, when switching to highlight mode, the cathode voltage decreases, for example, decreases from −3V to −5V, and the finger is similar to GND (the voltage is 0 V), then the signal from the emitter electrode TX (square wave of 0˜5V) is more likely to be absorbed by the cathode after the voltage is reduced, the electric quantity reaching the finger certainly decreases; according to the electric field strength formula: E=Q/d, the electric field intensity E also decreases, and therefore, only the output voltage of the emitter electrode TX is increased, and the amount of variation of the coupling capacitance before and after the display mode is switched remains the same, that is, the electric quantity of the node capacitance between the emitter electrode and the receiver electrode does not change. The voltage amplitude of the amplified emitter electrode TX becomes VDD+λ×Vout, where λ is a constant and Vout is the variation value of the cathode voltage. - Again, as shown in
FIG. 6 , TX represents a voltage of the emitter electrode; E represents an electric field strength at the finger position; Vcathode represents a cathode voltage. As can be seen from the figure, when the cathode voltage is constant, TX increases, and the electric field strength also increases. - Corresponding to the first embodiment of the disclosure, the second embodiment of the disclosure provides a touch device of a flexible OLED display apparatus. As shown in
FIG. 7 , the touch device includes: - a cathode voltage detection module, configured to acquire a cathode voltage variation value when a display mode of the flexible OLED display apparatus is switched;
- a judging module, configured to judge a magnitude relation between a cathode voltage variation value acquired by the cathode voltage detection module and a preset threshold value; and
- an emitter electrode voltage adjusting module, configured to increase an emitter electrode voltage of a touch electrode layer in the flexible OLED display apparatus when the judging module judges that the variation value of the cathode voltage exceeds the preset threshold value.
- The current cathode voltage and the reference voltage serve as two inputs of an operational amplifier in the differential amplification circuit, and an output voltage of the operational amplifier is the variation value of the cathode voltage.
- The variation value of the cathode voltage is a difference or a multiple of the difference between the current cathode voltage and the reference voltage.
- The cathode voltage detection module is a touch IC, the touch IC is configured to acquire a digital variation value corresponding to the cathode voltage analog input from the D/A conversion interface and use the digital variation value as the variation value of the cathode voltage.

- Increasing the emitter electrode voltage by the emitter electrode voltage adjusting module specifically increases a product of the variation value of the cathode voltage and a constant on the emitter electrode voltage.
- For the working principle and process of this embodiment, reference may be made to the description of the first embodiment of the disclosure, and details are not described herein again.
- It can be seen from the above description that the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the disclosure are as follows: when the display mode is switched, the variation value of the cathode voltage is acquired and is compared with the preset threshold value, when the variation value of the cathode voltage exceeds the preset threshold value, an output voltage of an emitter electrode is increased, so as to keep the amount of variation of the electric quantity of the receiver electrode constant when the cathode voltage is changed, thereby keeping the electric quantity of the node capacitance between the emitter electrode and the receiver electrode constant and enhancing the consistency of touch performance.
- The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiments of the disclosure, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the disclosure. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the disclosure are still within the scope of the disclosure.
