- the sensitivity correction method according to the present invention can be applied to a touch input device having a structure different from that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as long as the touch input device is capable of touch pressure.
- a sensitivity correction method of a touch input device that senses touch pressure includes a balance process and a calibration process.
- the balance process is a process for making the positional deviation in the plurality of touch input device sets uniform.
- the balance process may be performed using about 20 to 200 samples in the final pre-volume DVT step.
- the balance process consists of four steps to be described later: (1) low data measurement (2) average value calculation (3) ratio to maximum value calculation (4) interpolation.
- any one of these processes may be omitted, and other processes may be included.
- the balance coefficients of 0 to 255 8-bit ranges (8 bit range) for each node are obtained, and the balance coefficients are applied to the touch input device, thereby touching the touch input device.
- the sensitivity of the sensor panel is evenly compensated.
- a process for acquiring raw data is performed.
- a total of 45 points, consisting of 5 horizontal x 9 vertical, are measured using an 800 g 8 phi weight.
- the number of points may be more or less depending on the size of the touch sensor panel. This may be appropriately selected according to the size of the touch sensor panel and the state of each set.
- the pressure is applied using a weight of 800g, 8phi, to optimally model the index finger of a person.
- the weight or radius of the weight can be set differently.
- a device such as a key life tester or MUSASHI can be used to generate the capacitance change, ie, raw data, for positional pressure using an 800 g 8 phi weight. Can be.
- Pressure is applied to the 45 points with a weight of 800 g 8 phi, and the amount of change in capacitance at each point is detected.
- the detection of the capacitance change amount is as described above.
- the process of calculating the capacitance change data checks the frame data measured at each point, detects the capacitance change amount over time, finds a sufficiently saturated section, and finds N pieces (N in the region). Is averaged to determine the amount of change in capacitance at that point.
- the 3 shows frame data and saturated sections at one point.
- the x-axis represents time and the y-axis represents the amount of capacitance change detected in each frame.
- the unit of time may be about 5 ms per unit, but is not limited thereto and may be changed to another value.
- the number of frames used to calculate the average value for determining the capacitance change amount is preferably 20 to 100. In the above manner, the average value of all points is obtained, and a total of 45 points of frame average data is generated.
- Fig. 4 shows the set point decimal value data for 45 points obtained by dividing the frame average value data by the maximum value in the set and converting it to a decimal number.
- each column represents a set name (set1, set2, set3 ...), and each row represents a point (p1, p2, p3, ..., p45).
- an average value is calculated for each point. That is, the average value of the first points p1 is calculated by dividing the number of sets by adding the first point values in all sets.
- the average value of the second points p2 is calculated by adding the second point values in all sets and dividing by the number of sets.
- the representative value data includes the average value for each point in all sets.
- the reason for calculating the ratio to the maximum value in the set is to equalize the ratio in which each set is reflected in the representative value.
- the balance process aims to reduce the deviation of each set of positions.
- the difference between each set is not very important, but the positional differences within the set are important.
- the ratio of the maximum value is calculated.
- the process of calculating the ratio to the maximum value may be omitted, in this case, the position where the capacitance change amount of 500 is detected when the maximum value is 3000 is the same as the position where the capacitance change amount of 500 is detected when the maximum value is 10,000 is the same. Since the average value is calculated, it is difficult to reduce the deviation for each position. In other words, if the ratio to the maximum value is calculated, the positional deviation can be effectively reduced.
- each node means each cell of FIG. 5. That is, when all the cells of FIG. 5 are viewed from the touch sensor panel surface, each node may correspond to the same position.
- the value measured at 45 points is interpolated by node and replaced with the value measured by node. At this time, the data of each point is brought to the node corresponding to the point measured using the pitch of the driving electrode Tx and the receiving electrode Rx.
- 45 points correspond to Y points
- a value corresponding to a node included in area B of FIG. 5 is calculated using Equation 1 below.
- region Y, region B, region G, and region O are shown, where region Y includes a node corresponding to 45 points, region B includes a node existing between nodes of region Y.
- the region G is immediately adjacent to the nodes of the region Y and the region B, the region including the nodes surrounding the region Y and the region B, and the region O includes the remaining nodes located outside the region G.
- X and Y are the values of the X node and the Y node
- x and y are the position of the node
- n is the distance between the node and the X node to calculate the value.
- Equation 2 a value corresponding to a node included in region G of FIG. 5 is calculated.
- X1 means the value of the node one column away from the node to be calculated
- X2 means the value of the node two spaces apart. That is, the value reduced by half of the slope of the previous node and the previous node is determined as the node value.
- the balance process is basically designed to be balanced based on the minimum value.
- the standard of the value to be balanced is determined. In this case, if the maximum value is used as a reference, a value equal to or greater than 1 is multiplied by a value greater than 1, so that a graph as shown in 2 of FIG. If it is based on the values between them, it will appear as a straight line between the graphs of 1 and 2.
- the balance coefficient for each node is finally obtained.
- the range of 0 to 255 for obtaining the balance coefficient for each node may have a different range of values. For example, it may be set in the range of 0-1 or the range of 0-65535. In this regard, the present invention is not limited to a specific range.
- the balance coefficient data of FIG. 8 to be described below is data obtained by multiplying the coefficient A by the inverse of each node value of FIG. 5, and the coefficient A is calculated by taking 8.4.

- the Z values after the calibration are 1000, 2000, and 2100, respectively. That is, the difference between the points becomes smaller, and in particular, even for values smaller than the target value, the data of the high pressure (pressure applied to the weight of 800g or more) exceeds 2000, which is the median value, and is switched to the addition method. The difference in capacity change is reduced.
