Abstract

The present invention is a drive method for active touch control, relating to a touch control screen, and particularly to an active touch control screen and a drive method thereof. The present invention reveals a drive method for an active touch control system, and proposes a drive signal waveform for each electrode line in the active touch control system and a coordinated detection method, which effectively realizes point-by-point independent detection of sensing electrode units configured in an array. The cooperation of drive signal waveforms on the control electrode line and the detection electrode line is used to distinguish the difference between signals of an operator touching the detection electrode line and touching the detection electrode unit, which avoids a signal which may generate an error action when the operator touches the detection electrode line; and the influence of the display panel used with the active touch control screen in an overlapped way on the touch control signal is eliminated by applying a shielding signal to the shielding electrode.

一种有源触控系统的驱动方法 技术领域  Driving method of active touch system
本发明涉及触控屏, 尤其涉及有源触控屏及其驱动方法。 背景技术  The present invention relates to a touch screen, and more particularly to an active touch screen and a driving method thereof. Background technique
触摸是人类最重要的感知方式,是人与机器进行互动的最自然的方式。触控屏发 说  Touch is the most important way of human perception, the most natural way for people to interact with machines. Touch screen
展至今已广泛用于个人计算机、 智能电话、 公共信息、 智能家电、 工业控制等众多 领域。 在目前的触控领域, 主要有电阻式触控屏、 光电式触控屏、 超声波式触控屏、 书 It has been widely used in many fields such as personal computers, smart phones, public information, smart home appliances, industrial control, and so on. In the current touch field, there are mainly resistive touch screens, photoelectric touch screens, ultrasonic touch screens, and books.
平面电容式触控屏, 近年来投射电容式触控屏发展迅速。 Planar capacitive touch screens, in recent years, projected capacitive touch screens have developed rapidly.
电阻式触控屏仍是目前市场上的主导产品,但电阻式触控屏的双层基板的结构, 使得触控屏和显示面板层叠在一起使用时, 触控屏的反光非常影响显示的亮度、 对 比度、 色饱和度等显示品质, 使整个显示质量大大下降, 而加大显示面板背光的亮 度, 还会使功耗大涨; 模拟式电阻触控屏还存在定位漂移的问题, 不时要进行位置 校准; 另外, 电阻式触控屏电极接触的工作方式, 又使得触控屏的寿命较短。  Resistive touch screen is still the leading product on the market, but the structure of the two-layer substrate of the resistive touch screen makes the reflection of the touch screen greatly affect the brightness of the display when the touch screen and the display panel are stacked together. Display quality such as contrast, color saturation, etc., greatly degrades the overall display quality, and increases the brightness of the backlight of the display panel, which also causes the power consumption to rise; the analog resistive touch screen also has the problem of positioning drift, from time to time. Position calibration; In addition, the working mode of the resistive touch screen electrode makes the life of the touch screen shorter.
红外线式触控屏和超声波式触控屏不会影响显示质量。 但红外线式触控屏和超 声波式触控屏成本高, 水滴和尘埃都会影响触控屏工作的可靠性, 特别是红外线式 触控屏和超声波式触控屏机构复杂、 功耗大, 使得红外线式触控屏和超声波式触控 屏基本无法应用在便携式产品上。  Infrared touch screens and ultrasonic touch screens do not affect display quality. However, the infrared touch screen and the ultrasonic touch screen are costly, and water droplets and dust can affect the reliability of the touch screen operation, especially the infrared touch screen and the ultrasonic touch screen mechanism are complicated, and the power consumption is large, so that the infrared Touch screens and ultrasonic touch screens are basically not available on portable products.
平面电容式触控屏的单层基板的结构, 使得触控屏和显示面板层叠在一起使用 时, 触控屏对显示质量的影响不大。 但平面电容式触控屏也存在定位漂移的问题, 不时要进行位置校准; 水滴也会影响触控屏工作的可靠性; 特别是平面电容式触控 屏功耗大、 成本高, 也让平面电容式触控屏基本无法应用在便携式产品上。  The structure of the single-layer substrate of the flat capacitive touch screen makes the touch screen have little effect on the display quality when the touch screen and the display panel are stacked together. However, the planar capacitive touch screen also has the problem of positioning drift. Position calibration is performed from time to time. Water droplets also affect the reliability of the touch screen operation; especially the planar capacitive touch screen consumes a lot of power and costs, and also makes the plane Capacitive touch screens are basically not available on portable products.
投射电容式触控屏仍然可以是单层基板结构, 也使得触控屏和显示面板层叠在 一起使用时, 触控屏对显示质量的影响不大。 但投射电容式触控屏是通过测量手指 或其他触控物对触控屏电极间耦合电容的影响, 实际是通过测量手指或其他触控物 对触控屏电极充放电的影响, 来探测手指或其他触控物在触控屏上的位置。 定位点 需要经过模拟计算, 而非真正的数字式触控屏。 制造和使用环境中的分布电容都会 影响触控屏工作的可靠性, 显示驱动信号及其他电信号的干扰都会影响触控屏的工 作, 水滴也会影响触控屏工作的可靠性; 另外, 投射电容式触控屏对探测电极线的 电阻值方面有较高要求, 往往需要有金属类的高电导率电极层, 制做工艺复杂、 成 本高, 特别是在大尺寸、 超大尺寸触控屏方面成本过高。 The projected capacitive touch screen can still be a single-layer substrate structure, and when the touch screen and the display panel are stacked together, the touch screen has little effect on the display quality. However, the projected capacitive touch screen measures the influence of the finger or other touch object on the coupling capacitance between the electrodes of the touch screen. Actually, the finger is detected by measuring the influence of the finger or other touch object on the charging and discharging of the touch screen electrode. Or the location of other touch objects on the touch screen. The anchor point needs to be simulated, not a real digital touch screen. Distributed capacitance in both manufacturing and use environments Affect the reliability of the touch screen operation, the display drive signal and other electrical signal interference will affect the work of the touch screen, water droplets will also affect the reliability of the touch screen operation; In addition, the projected capacitive touch screen pairs the detection electrode line There are high requirements on the resistance value, and a high-conductivity electrode layer of a metal type is often required, and the manufacturing process is complicated and costly, especially in the case of a large-sized, ultra-large-size touch screen.
随着近年来 iPhone手机和 Windows 7操作系统的推出, 人们对多点触控的兴趣 骤然提升。 无论是电阻式还是电容式触控屏, 由于屏幕上每一感测线直接连接多个 感测单元, 各感测单元之间并不完全独立。 为了能够分辨多个触控点, 相对单点触 控来说, 要么检测的扫描方式变得十分复杂, 检测要花费大量时间和功耗; 要么检 测后的判断程序变得十分复杂, 需要强大的计算能力和存储空间, 也要花费大量时 间和功耗。  With the launch of the iPhone and Windows 7 operating systems in recent years, people's interest in multi-touch has suddenly increased. Whether it is a resistive or capacitive touch screen, since each sensing line on the screen is directly connected to multiple sensing units, the sensing units are not completely independent. In order to be able to distinguish multiple touch points, the scanning mode of the detection becomes very complicated compared to the single touch, and the detection takes a lot of time and power consumption; or the detection process after the detection becomes very complicated and requires a strong Computational power and storage space also take a lot of time and power.
中国专利 ZL2010202966254提出了一种有源触控系统, 通过触控屏上所设置的 有源器件单元阵列, 将触控屏上阵列排布的感测电极单元隔离开来, 以使各个感测 单元可以完全独立地感测触控物所引起的电容的变化, 让多点触控变得轻松自然。 发明内容  Chinese patent ZL2010202966254 proposes an active touch system, which isolates the sensing electrode units arranged on the array on the touch screen through the active device unit array provided on the touch screen, so that the sensing units are respectively It can completely sense the change of capacitance caused by the touch object, making multi-touch easy and natural. Summary of the invention

Measurement.
本发明的有源触控系统的基本工作原理是:  The basic working principle of the active touch system of the present invention is:
在触控基板上阵列状地设置感测电极单元和有源器件单元, 以及两组相交的控 制电极线和检测电极线, 检测电极线通过有源器件单元连接感测电极单元。 用控制 电极线来控制有源器件单元的通断, 用检测电极线来向感测电极单元施加触控激励 信号, 并侦测感测电极与触控物之间的电容性耦合。  The sensing electrode unit and the active device unit are arranged in an array on the touch substrate, and two sets of intersecting control electrode lines and detection electrode lines are connected, and the detecting electrode lines are connected to the sensing electrode unit through the active device unit. The control electrode line is used to control the on and off of the active device unit, the detection electrode line is used to apply the touch excitation signal to the sensing electrode unit, and the capacitive coupling between the sensing electrode and the touch object is detected.
当人的手指或其他触控物靠近或接触某感测电极单元时, 手指或其他触控物与 感测电极单元间形成耦合电容, 感测电极单元上的触控激励信号就会通过此耦合电 容部分泄漏出去, 或通过此耦合电容泄漏到触控屏上的其他电极。 触控电路通过检 测各条向感测电极单元提供触控激励信号的检测电极线上触控信号变化的大小, 找 出漏电流最大的或漏电流超过某阈值的检测电极线, 再结合此时开启有源器件的控 制电极线, 来确定产生漏电流的感测电极单元, 从而找出手指或其他触控物在触控 基板上的位置。  When a human finger or other touch object approaches or contacts a sensing electrode unit, a coupling capacitance is formed between the finger or other touch object and the sensing electrode unit, and the touch excitation signal on the sensing electrode unit passes through the coupling. The capacitor portion leaks out or leaks through the coupling capacitor to other electrodes on the touch screen. The touch circuit detects the change of the touch signal on the detection electrode line of the touch excitation signal by detecting each strip to the sensing electrode unit, and finds the detection electrode line with the largest leakage current or the leakage current exceeding a certain threshold value, and then combines the current The control electrode line of the active device is turned on to determine the sensing electrode unit that generates the leakage current, thereby finding the position of the finger or other touch object on the touch substrate.
薄膜场效应晶体管即 TFT (Thin Fi lm Transistor)是有源矩阵器件的典型代表, 薄膜晶体管 TFT栅极 (Gate)连接至水平方向扫描线, 源极 (Source)连接至垂直方向 的数据线, 漏极 (Drain)则连接至负载电极 (这里的漏极、 源极的定义只是习惯性定 义, 源极电平并不专指源极电极的电平, 而是这里说的源极和漏极两电极中电平较 小的那个电平)。阵列排布的有源器件阵列让每个负载电极均配置一个半导体开关器 件, 可以通过脉冲进行选通, 因而每个负载电极相对独立。 Thin film field effect transistor (TFT) is a typical representative of active matrix devices.
