Description
本发明涉及触控技术领域,特别是涉及一种触控面板。
液晶显示器为目前使用最为广泛的一种平板显示器,已经逐渐成为各种电子设备如移动电话、个人数字助理(PDA)、数字相机、计算机屏幕或笔记本电脑屏幕所广泛应用的具有高分辨率彩色屏幕的显示器。并且,随着液晶显示技术的发展,用户对液晶显示器的显示品质、外观设计、人机界面等提出了更高的要求,触控技术因具有操作方便、坚固耐用、易于交流等优点而成为技术发展的热点。
触控技术主要分为单点触控技术和多点触控技术,单点触控技术只能识别一个触碰点,若同时点击屏幕上的两个点则无法做出正确反应。多点触控技术能把任务分解为两个方面的工作,一是同时采集多点信号,二是对每路信号的意义进行判断,也即所谓的手势识别,从而能够识别人的五个手指同时做的点击、触控动作。多点触控技术能够进一步提升触控屏幕可靠的可用性,满足多种特性丰富的应用需求。
通过互电容触摸屏可以真正实现多点触控。如图1所示,互电容触摸屏主要是在玻璃表面使用ITO制作横向电极11和纵向电极12,每个横向电极11使用Tx驱动引线引出,每个纵向电极12使用Rx感应引线引出。横向电极11和纵向电极12交叉的地方将会形成电容,也即横向电极11和纵向电极12分别构成电容的两极。当手指触摸到触摸屏时,影响了触摸点附近的横向电极11和纵向电极12之间的耦合,从而改变了这两个电极之间的电容量。检测互电容大小时,利用Tx引线对横向电极11依次发出触控驱动信号,所有纵向电极12同时接收信号,并将接收的信号通过Rx引线输出,从而可以得到所有横向电极11和纵向电极12交叉点的电容值大小,即整个触摸屏的二维平面的电容大小。根据触摸屏二维电容变化量数据,可以计算出每一个触摸点的坐标。因此,
屏上即使有多个触摸点,也能计算出每个触摸点的真实坐标,由此可实现多点触控。
然而,如图1所示,现有的触摸屏设计中,每一个横向电极11需要连接一条Tx驱动引线,即横向电极11的数量和Tx驱动引线的数量相同,而Tx驱动引线位于边框位置,大量Tx驱动引线需要更多的空间,不利于窄边框化发展。

通过本发明实施方式,利用第一选通电路21使用于输入触控驱动信号的第一端211选择性连接触控电极22中的一个,由此能够对触控电极22逐个输入所需的触控驱动信号,以实现触控功能。因此,本实施方式,只需一个第一端211即可实现对至少两个触控电极22逐个输入出触控驱动信号,也即只需一条驱动引线即可实现对两个触控电极22逐个输入各自所需的触控驱动信号,因此与现有的每个触控电极22需要对应的一根驱动引线单独输入触控驱动信号的方式相比,能够减少驱动引线的数量,从而可以节省驱动引线所占用的空间,有利于触控面板的窄边框化发展。
参阅图3,在本发明触控面板的一种实施方式中,触控面板为液晶显示面板。触控电极22有多个,多个触控电极22沿行方向延伸,并沿列方向依次排列。每根导线23对应连接一个触控电极22,且不同触控电极22连接的导线23不同。其中,每个触控电极22包括多个沿行方向依次排列的触控单元221,多个触控单元221通过与本触控电极22对应的一根导线23连接在一起。导线23包括相对的两端。当然,在另一种实施方式中,每个触控电极也可以是一个整体的长条形状触控电极。
其中,触控面板还包括多个感应电极24,多个触控电极22和多个感应电极24相互交叉重叠。其中,本实施方式的触控电极22同时作为公共电极。在触控面板的驱动过程中,包括液晶驱动阶段和触控扫描阶
段,液晶驱动阶段用以实现画面显示,触控扫描阶段用于触控扫描以实现触控功能。其中,触控扫描可以是一帧画面显示之后下一帧画面显示前的时间段里完成,也可以是在进行一帧画面的显示扫描过程中同时进行触控扫描,例如完成一帧画面的前半部分的显示扫描后,在对一帧画面的后半部分进行显示扫描的同时,对一帧画面的前半部分对应的触控电极进行触控扫描。
其中,在液晶驱动阶段触控电极22作为公共电极用以输入公共电压,在触控扫描阶段触控电极22用以输入触控驱动信号以实现触控功能。
其中,触控面板进一步还包括第一电压线Lv1、第二电压线Lv2和至少一条第一控制信号线,第一选通电路21包括至少两个第一开关电路。其中,设多个触控电极22的数量为m,m为大于或等于2的整数,第一开关电路的数量和触控电极22的数量相同,也为m。其中,m个第一开关电路分别是第一开关电路S1~Sm。此外,设第一控制信号线的数量为n,n条第一控制信号线分别为第一控制信号线Lc1~Lcn,n为整数且n≥1。
其中,m和n具有如下关系:m=2n-1。
其中,第一电压线Lv1用于输入第一电压VDD,第一电压VDD为高电平电压,用以形成触控驱动信号。第二电压线LV2用以输入第二电压Vcom,第二电压Vcom为低电平,为显示画面所需的公共电压。本实施方式中,触控驱动信号为多个直流脉冲信号,每个直流脉冲信号的电压为第一电压VDD,即触控驱动信号由多个电压大小为第一电压VDD的高电平信号形成。
其中,第一选通电路21包括两个第一端,两个第一端中的其中一个用于提供触控驱动信号,另一个用于提供公共电压。其中,每个第一开关电路包括第一电压输入端u1、第二电压输入端u2、第一输出端u3和n个第一控制信号输入端u41~u4n。m个第一开关电路S1~Sm的第一电压输入端u1相连以作为第一选通电路21的用于提供触控驱动信号的第一端而连接至第一电压线Lv1,即m个第一开关电路S1~Sm的第一电压
输入端u1均连接至第一电压线Lv1。m个第一开关电路S1~Sm的第二电压输入端u2相连以作为第一选通电路21的另一个第一端而连接至第二电压线Lv2,即m个第一开关电路S1~Sm的第二电压输入端u2均连接至第二电压线Lv2。每个第一开关电路的第一输出端u3作为第一选通电路21的一个第二端212连接至一根导线23的一端,每个第一开关电路的n个第一控制信号输入端u41~u4n与n条第一控制信号线一一对应连接。其中,不同第一开关电路的第一输出端u3连接的导线不相同。
本实施方式中,n条第一控制信号线Lc1~Lcn分别对每个第一开关电路的n个第一控制信号输入端u41~u4n输入控制信号,以使得每个第一开关电路的第一输出端u3选择性与第一电压线Lv1或第二电压线Lv2连通,也即使得第一输出端u3选择性与第一选通电路21的两个第一端中的一个连通。其中,当第一输出端u3与第一电压线Lv1连通时,第一电压VDD传输至与第一输出端u3连接的一根导线23,从而将第一电压VDD提供给与该导线23连接的触控电极22。当第一输出端u3与第二电压线Lv2连通时,第二电压Vcom传输至与第一输出端u3连接的一根导线23,从而将第二电压Vcom提供给与该导线23连接的触控电极22。
并且,所述控制信号还用以使得在其中一个第一开关电路的第一输出端u3与第一电压线Lv1连通时,其他第一开关电路的第一输出端u3与第一电压线Lv1不连通。由此,可以将第一电压VDD依次输入至多个触控电极22中。
进一步地,结合图4,图4是本发明触控面板一实施方式中,其中一个第一开关电路的结构示意图。本实施方式中,每个第一开关电路包括第一开关单元41和第二开关单元42。第一开关单元41包括n个第一开关元件Q11~Q1n,第二开关单元42包括n个第二开关元件Q21~Q2n,n为大于等于1的整数。
其中,n个第一开关元件Q11~Q1n串联,且n个第一开关元件Q11~Q1n所在的串联支路的一端连接至第一开关电路的第一电压输入端u1,n个第一开关元件Q11~Q1n所在的串联支路的另一端连接至第一开关电路的第一输出端u3,n个第一开关元件Q11~Q1n的控制端与第一开关电路的n
个第一控制信号输入端u41~u4n一一对应连接。其中,当仅有一个第一开关元件时,一个第一开关元件是以串联的形式连接在第一电压输入端u1和第一输出端u3之间。
其中,n个第二开关元件Q21~Q2n并联。n个第二开关元件Q21~Q2n的一端均连接至第一开关电路的第一输出端u3,n个第二开关元件Q21~Q2n的另一端均连接至第一开关电路的第二输出端u2,n个第二开关元件Q21~Q2n的控制端与第一开关电路的n个第一控制信号输入端u41~u4n一一对应连接。
其中,在本发明实施方式中,m个第一开关电路中至少有一个第一开关电路中的至少一个第一开关元件和至少一个第二开关元件通过反相器连接至同一个第一控制信号输入端。如图4所示,图4所示的第一开关电路中第一开关元件Q12和第二开关元件Q22的控制端通过反相器连接至同一个第一控制信号输入端u42。其中,第一开关元件Q12和第二开关元件Q22的控制端可以通过不同的反相器连接至第一控制信号输入端u42,也可以通过同一个反相器连接至同一个第一控制信号输入端u42。其中,反相器可以通过一个逻辑非门实现。
此外,不同第一开关电路中连接有反相器的第一开关元件在串联支路中的位置不同,不同第一开关电路中连接有反相器的第二开关元件在并联的n个第二开关元件Q21~Q2n中的位置不相同。并且,不同第一开关电路中连接有反相器的第一开关元件的数量可以相同也可以不相同,以及连接有反相器的第二开关元件的数量可以相同也可以不相同。如图4所示的第一开关电路中,连接有反相器的第一开关元件为串联支路中的第二个第一开关元件,连接有反相器的第二开关元件为并联的n个第二开关元件中的第二个第二开关元件。而在另一个第一开关电路中,连接有反相器的第一开关元件为串联支路中的第一个和第二个第一开关元件,连接有反相器的第二开关元件为并联的n个第二开关元件中的第一个和第二个第二开关元件。后面将详细介绍如何选择需接入反相器的第一开关元件和第二开关元件。
其中,分别驱动连接同一个第一控制信号输入端的第一开关元件和
第二开关元件导通的控制信号具有互逆关系。所述互逆关系是指逻辑相反。本实施方式中,n个第一开关元件Q11~Q1n为PMOS管,驱动第一开关元件导通的控制信号为低电平,即当其控制端的控制信号为低电平时第一开关元件为导通状态,当其控制端的控制信号为高电平时第一开关元件为截止状态。n个第二开关元件Q21~Q2n为NMOS管,驱动第二开关元件导通的控制信号为高电平,即当其控制端的控制信号为低电平时第二开关元件为截止状态,当其控制端的控制信号为高电平时第二开关元件为导通状态。
当然,在其他实施方式中,第一开关元件也可以是P型三极管或其他控制开关,而第二开关元件可以是N型三极管或其他控制开关。
其中,信号的高电平用逻辑“1”表示,信号的低电平用逻辑“0”表示。本实施方式中,m=2n-1,m表示触控电极22的数量,也即第一开关电路的数量,n表示每个第一开关电路中的第一开关元件的数量、第二开关元件的数量,也即第一控制信号线的数量。通过n条第一控制信号线Lc1~Lcn所输入的n个控制信号,在触控扫描阶段可以控制m个第一开关电路S1~Sm依次对m个触控电极22提供触控驱动信号,并在液晶显示阶段控制m个第一开关电路S1~Sm对m个触控电极22提供公共电压。因此,本发明实施方式中,只需设置每个第一开关电路中的第一开关元件和第二开关元件的数量,即可以对不同数量的触控电极22进行驱动。例如,当每个第一开关电路中的第一开关元件和第二开关元件的数量均为3时,可以驱动7个触控电极22,此时只需3条第一控制信号线、一条第一电压线Lv1、一条第二电压线Lv2即可;当每个第一开关电路中的第一开关元件和第二开关元件的数量均为5时,可以驱动31个触控电极22,此时只需5条第一控制信号线、一条第一电压线Lv1、一条第二电压线Lv2即可。
下面通过举例说明通过本发明实施方式的第一开关电路如何实现对触控电极22施加触控扫描所需的触控驱动信号和显示画面所需的公共电压。
参阅图5,图5是本发明触控面板一实施方式的具体结构示意图。
在本实施方式中,触控电极22和第一开关电路的数量均为15个,即m=15,15个第一开关电路为S1~S15。第一控制信号线的数量为4,4条第一控制信号线为Lc1~Lc4。
参阅图6~图9,并结合图5,图6为图5中的第一开关电路S1的结构示意图,图7为图5中的第一开关电路S5的结构示意图,图8为图5中的第一开关电路S10的结构示意图,图9为图5中的第一开关电路S15的结构示意图。其中,每个第一开关电路的第一开关单元41包括串联的4个第一开关元件,分别为第一开关元件Q11~Q14。4个第一开关元件Q11~Q14为PMOS管。每个第一开关电路的第二开关单元42包括并联的4个第二开关元件,分别为第二开关元件Q21~Q24。4个第二开关元件Q21~Q24为NMOS管。4个第一开关元件Q11~Q14与4个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44一一对应连接,4个第二开关元件Q21~Q24与4个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44一一对应连接,即第一开关元件Q11和第二开关元件Q21的控制端连接至第一控制信号输入端u41,第一开关元件Q12和第二开关元件Q22的控制端连接至第一控制信号输入端u42,依此类推。
其中,每个第一开关电路均设置有反相器。不同第一开关电路中连接有反相器的第一开关元件不相同,且不同第一开关电路中连接有反相器的第二开关元件也不相同。例如,如图6所示,第一个第一开关电路S1中,第四个第一开关元件Q14和第四个第二开关元件Q24的控制端通过反相器与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44连接;如图7所示,第五个第一开关电路S5中,第二个第一开关电路Q12和第二个第二开关电路Q22的控制端通过反相器与第二第一控制信号输入端u42连接,且第四个第一开关元件Q14和第四个第二开关元件Q24的控制端通过反相器与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44连接;如图8所示,第十个第一开关电路S10中,第一个第一开关电路Q11和第一个第二开关电路Q21的控制端通过反相器与第二第一控制信号输入端u41连接,且第三个第一开关元件Q13和第三个第二开关元件Q23的控制端通过反相器与第三个第一控制信号输入端u43连接;如图9所示,第十五个第一开关电路S15中,四个第一开关电路Q11~Q14和四个第二开关电路Q21~Q24的控制端均通过反
相器与四个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44一一对应连接。
以上仅例举出四个第一开关电路中连接有反相器的第一开关元件和第二开关元件,而15个第一开关电路中反相器的设置情况可以根据如下真值表1进行设置。
本实施方式的触控扫描阶段划分为15个时间段,分别为t1~t15。如下真值表1为触控扫描阶段中每个时间段里第一开关电路的4个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44接收到的控制信号的逻辑真值表,其中,4个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44接收到的控制信号也即4条第一控制信号线Lc1~Lc4输入的控制信号:
| 时间段 | 第一开关电路 | u41 | u42 | u43 | u44 | u3 |
| t1 | S1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| t2 | S2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| t3 | S3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| t4 | S4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| t5 | S5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| t6 | S6 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| t7 | S7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| t8 | S8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |

| t12 | S12 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| t13 | S13 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| t14 | S14 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| t15 | S15 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| t0 | S1~S15 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
触控扫描阶段的控制信号的逻辑真值表1
如上表1所示,其中“0”表示低电平,“1”表示高电平。根据上述真值表1,t1时间段里第一开关电路S1的第一输出端u3对与其连接的一根导线23输出触控驱动信号,其他第一开关电路S2~S15均不输出触控驱动信号;t2时间段里第二开关电路S2的第一输出端u3对与其连接的一根导线23输出触控驱动信号,其他第一开关电路S1、S3~S15均不输出触控驱动信号,依此类推。在完成触控扫描后,进入液晶驱动显示阶
段t0时间段时,第一开关电路S1~S15的第一输出端u3均输出公共电压。
因此,在每个时间段里对4条第一控制信号线Lc1~Lc4输入对应的控制信号,由此可使得每个时间段只有一个第一开关电路的第一输出端u3输出触控驱动信号。
其中,t1时间段里,第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号分别为“0”、“0”、“0”、“1”,以选择第一开关电路S1输出触控驱动信号,此时第四个第一控制信号输入端u44输入的控制信号为逻辑“1”,因此第一开关电路S1中,与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44对应连接的第四个第一开关电路Q14和第四个第二开关电路Q24的控制端通过反相器与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44连接。
t2时间段里,第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号分别为“0”、“0”、“1”、“0”,以选择第一开关电路S2输出触控驱动信号,此时第三个第一控制信号输入端u43输入的控制信号为逻辑“1”,因此第一开关电路S2中,与第三个第一控制信号输入端u43对应连接的第三个第一开关电路Q13和第三个第二开关电路Q23的控制端通过反相器与第三个第一控制信号输入端u43连接。
t3时间段里,第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号分别为“0”、“0”、“1”、“1”,以选择第一开关电路S3输出触控驱动信号,此时第三个第一控制信号输入端u43和第四个第一控制信号输入端u44输入的控制信号为逻辑“1”,因此第一开关电路S3中,与第三个第一控制信号输入端u43对应连接的第三个第一开关电路Q13和第三个第二开关电路Q23的控制端通过反相器与第三个第一控制信号输入端u43连接,且与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44对应连接的第四个第一开关电路Q14和第四个第二开关电路Q24的控制端通过反相器与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44连接。
t4时间段里,第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号分别为“0”、“1”、“0”、“0”,以选择第一开关电路S4输出触控驱动信号,此时第二个第一控制信号输入端u42输入的控制信号为逻辑“1”,因此第一开关电路S4中,与第二个第一控制信号输入端u42对应连接的第二个
第一开关电路Q12和第二个第二开关电路Q22的控制端通过反相器与第二个第一控制信号输入端u42连接。
t5时间段里,第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号分别为“0”、“1”、“0”、“1”,以选择第一开关电路S5输出触控驱动信号,此时第二个第一控制信号输入端u42和第四个第一控制信号输入端u44输入的控制信号为逻辑“1”,因此第一开关电路S5中,与第二个第一控制信号输入端u42对应连接的第二个第一开关电路Q12和第二个第二开关电路Q22的控制端通过反相器与第二个第一控制信号输入端u42连接,且与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44对应连接的第四个第一开关电路Q14和第四个第二开关电路Q24的控制端通过反相器与第四个第一控制信号输入端u44连接。
由此,可依此类推第一开关电路S6~S15中需要连接反相器的第一开关元件和第二开关元件,即根据上述真值表1,在每个时间段里输出触控驱动信号的第一开关电路中,输入控制信号为逻辑“1”的第一控制信号输入端对应连接的第一开关元件和第二开关元件连接有反相器。
通过对不同第一开关电路接入反相器,可以选择性对触控电极22提供触控驱动信号或者公共电极,以及在触控扫描阶段选择性对一个触控电极22输入触控驱动信号。以第一个第一开关电路S1为例:
在t1时间段,4条第一控制信号线Lc1~Lc4输入的控制信号分别为“0(低电平)”、“0(低电平)”、“0(低电平)”、“1(高电平)”,即每个第一开关电路的4个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44接收到的控制信号分别为“0(低电平)”、“0(低电平)”、“0(低电平)”、“1(高电平)”。
此时,对于第一开关电路S1,其3个第一控制信号输入端u41~u43将接收到的低电平信号直接传输至第一开关元件Q11~Q13和第二开关元件Q21~Q23的控制端,第一开关元件Q11~Q13在低电平控制信号的作用下均为导通状态,第二开关元件Q21~Q23在低电平控制信号的作用下均为截止状态。而第四控制信号输入端u44接收到的高电平控制信号在经过反相器的作用后变为低电平控制信号而传输至第一开关元件Q14和第二开关元件Q24的控制端,由此使得第一开关元件Q14导通,而第二开关
元件Q24断开,从而第一电压VDD传输至第一开关元件S1的第一电压输入端u1,然后经过串联的第一开关元件Q11~Q14传输至第一开关电路S1的第一输出端u3,以将第一电压VDD输出至与第一开关电路S1连接的一根导线23所连接的触控电极22中,从而对与第一开关电路S1连接的触控电极提供触控驱动信号。而四个并联的第二开关元件Q21~Q24均处于断开状态,因此可以截断第一开关元件S1的第二电压输入端u1和第一开关元件S1的第一输出端u3之间的通路。
因此,对于第一开关电路S1,只有在4个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44的控制信号分别为“0”、“0”、“0”、“1”时,其第一输出端u3才会输出第一电压VDD,而在控制信号为其他控制信号时,例如“0”、“0”、“1”、“0”时,此时第一开关电路S1中的第一开关元件Q13和Q14为截止状态,因此第一电压VDD的传输通路被截断,而第一开关电路S1中的第二开关元件Q23和Q24为导通状态,第二电压Vcom通过第二开关元件Q23或Q24传输至第一输出端u3,因此第一开关电路S1输出的是第二电压Vcom。
并且,在t1时间段里,其他第一开关电路S2~S15的第一电压VDD的传输通路处于截断状态,例如图7~图9所示的第一开关电路S5、S10、S15,由于此时的控制信号为“0”、“0”、“0”、“1”,因此第一开关电路S5、S10、S15中的4个第一开关元件Q11~Q14中至少有一个为截止状态,因此串联支路为断路,从而使得第一电压VDD的传输通路断开,而4个第二开关元件Q21~Q24中至少有一个为导通状态,因此第二电压Vcom可以通过导通的第二开关元件传输至触控电极。
在t2时间段里,每个第一开关电路的4个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44接收到的控制信号分别为“0(低电平)”、“0(低电平)”、“1(高电平)”、“0(低电平)”。对于第一开关电路S2,其第一开关元件Q13和第二开关元件Q23的控制端通过反相器连接至对应的第一控制信号输入端u43,其他第一开关元件和第二开关元件均直接连接至对应的第一控制信号输入端,因此四个第一开关元件Q11~Q14和四个第二开关元件Q21~Q24的控制端的控制信号均为低电平,因此四个第一开关元件Q11~Q14均处于导通状态,从而第一电压VDD可以传输至第一开关电路
S2所连接的一根导线23,从而对对应的触控电极22提供触控驱动信号,而四个第二开关元件Q21~Q24均处于截止状态。
因此,对于第一开关电路S2,只有在控制信号为“0”、“0”、“1”、“0”时其第一输出端u3才会输出第一电压VDD,而在控制信号为其他控制信号时其第一输出端u3均输出第二电压Vcom。
对于其他第一开关电路S3~S15,可以依此类推,例如第一开关电路S3只有在控制信号为“0”、“0”、“1”、“1”时才输出第一电压VDD,而在其他控制信号时均输出第二电压Vcom;而第一开关电路S5只有在控制信号为“0”、“1”、“0”、“1”时才输出第一电压VDD,而在其他控制信号时均输出第二电压Vcom。每个第一开关电路输出第一电压VDD所需的控制信号可从上述真值表1中获得。
此外,在本发明实施方式中,触控驱动信号为多个直流脉冲信号,该多个直流脉冲信号为多个第一电压VDD,即在触控扫描阶段里,每个时间段中对应第一开关电路输出的触控驱动信号为多个第一电压VDD。
仍以图5所示的实施例进行说明。参阅图10,图10是图5所示的触控面板的工作时序图。如图10所示,在t1时间段里,第一控制信号输入端u44输入的控制信号为脉冲波信号,第一控制信号输入端u41~u43输入低电平的控制信号,其中,当第一控制信号输入端u44为高电平信号时,四个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号分别为“0”、“0”、“0”、“1”,因此第一开关电路S1输出一个第一电压VDD,当第一控制信号输入端u44为低电平信号时,四个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号分别为“0”、“0”、“0”、“0”,第一开关电路S1输出第二电压Vcom。由于第一控制信号输入端u44输入的控制信号为高电平和低电平交替的脉冲波信号,因此对应地,第一开关电路S1在t1时间段里输出的信号也为第一电压VDD和第二电压Vcom交替的脉冲波信号,由此可得到多个直流脉冲信号,即多个第一电压VDD信号,从而得到触控驱动信号。
同理,可依此类推得到其他时间段对应的第一开关电路所输出的触控驱动信号。
当然,在本发明的其他实施方式中,触控驱动信号也可以是一个直流脉冲信号,即在每个时间段里,对应第一开关电路输出的触控驱动信号为一个第一电压VDD信号,此时对应的第一控制信号输入端输入的控制信号为一个直流脉冲信号。
在完成触控扫描后,当进行液晶驱动扫描时,对应于上述真值表中的t0时间段,可以使四个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号均为低电平,由于每个第一开关电路中至少有一个第一开关元件和至少一个第二开关元件的控制端通过反相器连接至对应的第一控制信号输入端,因此当四个第一控制信号输入端u41~u44输入的控制信号均为低电平,每个第一开关电路的四个第一开关元件Q11~Q14中至少有一个处于截止状态,使得四个第一开关元件Q11~Q14所在的串联支路处于断开状态,因此第一电压VDD的传输通路断开,而每个第一开关电路的四个第二开关元件Q21~Q24中至少有一个第二开关元件处于导通状态,第二电压Vcom可以通过导通的第二开关元件输出至触控电极22,从而对触控电极22提供公共电压。
通过本发明实施方式,利用第一选通电路21,可以在触控扫描阶段依次对触控电极提供触控驱动信号,并且在液晶驱动扫描阶段,可以对触控电极提供公共电压,并且只需一根触控驱动引线(即第一电压线Lv1)以及较少数量的第一控制信号线即可实现对多个触控电极依次提供触控驱动信号,例如4条第一控制信号线可以驱动15个触控电极,5条第一控制信号线可以驱动31个触控电极,因此可以大大降低触控面板周边引线的数量,从而能够节省触控面板边框的空间,有利于窄边框发展。
在上述实施方式中,通过设置反相器以控制每个第一开关电路的输出,每个第一开关电路的第一开关单元41中的第一开关元件均为PMOS管,第二开关单元42中的第二开关元件均为NMOS管,在另一种实施方式中,也可以不设置反相器,而是使第一开关单元中的第一开关元件为不同类型晶体管的组合,以及使第二开关单元中的第二开关元件为不同类型晶体管的组合,每个第一开关元件和第二开关元件的控制端均直接与对应的第一控制信号输入端连接。例如,对于第一开关电路S1,其
第一开关元件Q11~Q13均为PMOS管,而第一开关元件Q14则为NMOS管,每个第一开关元件的控制端直接与对应的第一控制信号输入端连接,而第二开关元件Q21~Q23均为NMO管,而第二开关元件Q24则为PMOS管,每个第二开关元件的控制端直接与对应第一控制信号输入端连接。又如,对于第一开关电路S5,其第一开关元件Q11和Q13均为PMOS管,第一开关元件Q12和Q14均为NMOS管,而第一开关元件Q21和Q23均为NMOS管,而第一开关元件Q22和Q24均为PMOS管。因此,与上述是实施方式不同的是,只需将上述实施方式中需要通过反相器连接对应第一控制信号输入端的第一开关元件和第二开关元件的晶体管类型进行变更即可,如连接有反相器的第一开关元件由PMOS管变为NMOS管,连接有反相器的第二开关元件由NMOS管变为PMOS管,由此即可省去反相器,有利于节省成本。
图5所示的实施方式中仅是例举了15个触控电极22的情况,当有更多触控电极22时,可以根据触控电极的数量m和每个第一开关电路中的第一开关元件、第二开关元件的数量n(也即第一控制信号线的数量)的关系式m=2n-1来设置第一选通电路21,例如每个第一开关电路可以利用5个第一开关元件、5个第二开关元件来驱动31个触控电极,此时触控扫描阶段将划分为31个时间段,可以根据在每个时间段里输出触控驱动信号的第一开关电路中,输入控制信号为逻辑“1”的第一控制信号输入端来确定相应第一开关电路中需要设置反相器的第一开关元件和第二开关元件。
在本发明触控面板的另一种实施方式中,可以设置第一选通电路来驱动触控面板中的部分触控电极。例如,当触控面板包括26个触控电极时,可以仅设置如图5所示的第一选通电路21来对其中的15个触控电极输入触控驱动信号或公共电压,而剩余的11个触控电极可以通过11跟驱动引线一一输入触控驱动信号或公共电压,通过此种方式可以在一定程度上减少驱动引线的数量,节省面板边框的空间。或者可以采用不同结构的第一选通电路来驱动触控面板中的触控电极,使其中一个第一选通电路对15个触控电极进行驱动,采用另一种结构的第一选通电
路对7个触控电极进行驱动,而剩余的4个触控电极可以通过4跟驱动引线一一输入相应的驱动信号。
参阅图11,图11是本发明触控面板另一实施方式的结构示意图,图中相同标号的元件作用相同。在本实施方式中,触控面板进一步包括第二选通电路21’、第三电压线Lv1’、第四电压线Lv2’和至少一条第二控制信号线,第二选通电路21’包括两个第三端、至少两个第四端以及至少两个第二开关电路。其中一个第三端用于提供触控驱动信号。其中,第二开关电路的数量与触控电极22的数量相同,均为m,m个第二开关电路分别是第二开关电路S1’~Sm’。此外,第二控制信号线的数量和第一控制信号线的数量相同,均为n,n条第二控制信号线分别为第二控制信号线Lc1’~Lcn’。
其中,m和n具有如下关系:m=2n-1。
本实施方式中,第二选通电路21’的工作原理和第一选通电路21的工作原理相同。
其中,第三电压线Lv1’用于输入第一电压VDD,第四电压线LV2’用以输入第二电压Vcom。
其中,每个第二开关电路包括第三电压输入端u1’、第四电压输入端u2’、第二输出端u3’和n个第二控制信号输入端u41’~u4n’。m个第二开关电路S1’~Sm’的第三电压输入端u1’相连以作为第二选通电路21’的用于提供触控驱动信号的第三端而连接至第三电压线Lv1’,即m个第二开关电路S1’~Sm’的第三电压输入端u1’均连接至第三电压线Lv1’。m个第二开关电路S1’~Sm’的第四电压输入端u2’相连以作为第二选通电路21’的另一个第三端而连接至第四电压线Lv2’,即m个第二开关电路S1’~Sm’的第四电压输入端u2’均连接至第四电压线Lv2’。每个第二开关电路的第二输出端u3’作为第二选通电路21’的一个第四端212’连接至一根导线23的另一端,每个第二开关电路的n个第二控制信号输入端u41’~u4n’与n条第二控制信号线一一对应连接。其中,不同第二开关电路的第二输出端u3’连接的导线不相同。
本实施方式中,n条第二控制信号线Lc1’~Lcn’分别对每个第二开关
电路的n个第二控制信号输入端u41’~u4n’输入控制信号,以使得每个第二开关电路的第二输出端u3’选择性与第三电压线Lv1’或第四电压线Lv2’连通,也即使得第二输出端u3’选择性与第二选通电路21’的两个第三端中的一个连通。其中,当第二输出端u3’与第三电压线Lv1’连通时,第一电压VDD传输至与第二输出端u3’连接的一根导线23,从而使得第一电压VDD提供给与该导线23连接的触控电极22。当第二输出端u3’与第四电压线Lv2’连通时,第二电压Vcom传输至与第二输出端u3’连接的一根导线23,从而使得第二电压Vcom提供给与该导线23连接的触控电极22。
并且,所述控制信号还用以使得在其中一个第二开关电路的第二输出端u3’与第三电压线Lv1’连通时,其他第二开关电路的第二输出端u3’与第三电压线Lv1’不连通。由此,可以将第一电压VDD依次输入至触控电极22中。
进一步地,结合图12,图12是本发明触控面板一实施方式中,其中一个第二开关电路的结构示意图。本实施方式中,每个第二开关电路包括第三开关单元41’和第四开关单元42’。第三开关单元41’包括n个第三开关元件Q11’~Q1n’,第四开关单元42’包括n个第四开关元件Q21’~Q2n’,n为大于等于1的整数。
其中,n个第三开关元件Q11’~Q1n’串联,且n个第三开关元件Q11’~Q1n’所在的串联支路的一端连接至第三开关电路的第三电压输入端u1’,n个第三开关元件Q11’~Q1n’所在的串联支路的另一端连接至第三开关电路的第二输出端u3’,n个第三开关元件Q11’~Q1n’的控制端与第三开关电路的n个第二控制信号输入端u41’~u4n’一一对应连接。
其中,n个第四开关元件Q21’~Q2n’并联。n个第四开关元件Q21’~Q2n’的一端均连接至第二开关电路的第二输出端u3’,n个第四开关元件Q21’~Q2n’的另一端均连接至第二开关电路的第二输出端u2’,n个第四开关元件Q21’~Q2n’的控制端与第二开关电路的n个第二控制信号输入端u41’~u4n’一一对应连接。
其中,在本发明实施方式中,m个第二开关电路中至少有一个第二
开关电路中的至少一个第三开关元件和至少一个第四开关元件通过反相器连接至同一个第二控制信号输入端。如图12所示,图12所示的第二开关电路中第三开关元件Q12’和第四开关元件Q22’的控制端通过反相器连接至同一个第二控制信号输入端u42’。其中,第三开关元件Q12’和第四开关元件Q22’的控制端可以通过不同的反相器连接至第二控制信号输入端u42’,也可以通过同一个反相器连接至同一个第二控制信号输入端u42’。其中,反相器可以通过一个逻辑非门实现。
此外,不同第二开关电路中连接有反相器的第三开关元件在串联支路中的位置不同,不同第二开关电路中连接有反相器的第四开关元件在并联的n个第四开关元件Q21’~Q2n’中的位置不相同。并且,不同第二开关电路中连接有反相器的第三开关元件的数量可以相同也可以不相同,以及连接有反相器的第四开关元件的数量可以相同也可以不相同。如图12所示的第二开关电路中,连接有反相器的第三开关元件为串联支路中的第二个第三开关元件,连接有反相器的第四开关元件为并联的n个第二开关元件中的第二个第四开关元件。而在另一个第二开关电路中,连接有反相器的第三开关元件为串联支路中的第一个和第二个第三开关元件,连接有反相器的第四开关元件为并联的n个第四开关元件中的第一个和第二个第四开关元件。
其中,分别驱动连接同一个第二控制信号输入端的第三开关元件和第四开关元件导通的控制信号具有互逆关系。所述互逆关系是指逻辑相反。本实施方式中,n个第三开关元件Q11’~Q1n’为PMOS管,驱动第三开关元件导通的控制信号为低电平,即当其控制端的控制信号为低电平时第三关元件为导通状态,当其控制端的控制信号为高电平时第三开关元件为截止状态。n个第四开关元件Q21’~Q2n’为NMOS管,驱动第四开关元件导通的控制信号为高电平,即当其控制端的控制信号为低电平时第四开关元件为截止状态,当其控制端的控制信号为高电平时第四开关元件为导通状态。
当然,在其他实施方式中,第一开关元件也可以是P型三极管或其他控制开关,而第二开关元件可以是N型三极管或其他控制开关。
本实施方式中,第二选通电路21’用于从导线23的另一端对触控电极22提供触控驱动信号或公共电压,从而通过第一选通电路21和第二选通电路21’同时对导线23的两端提供触控驱动信号或公共电压,可以减少信号衰减。其中,第二选通电路21’中确定每个第二开关电路中需要接入反相器的第三开关元件和第四开关元件的原理,与第一选通电路21中确定每个第一开关电路中需要接入反相器的第一开关元件和第二开关元件的原理相类似,具体可参考图5所示实施例中确定不同第一开关电路中需要接入反相器的第一开关元件和第二开关元件的原理过程,此外第二选通电路21’的控制方式与第一选通电路21的控制方式也相类似,出于简洁的目的在此不进行一一赘述。
参阅图13,图13为本发明触控面板又一实施方式的结构示意图,图中相同标号的元件作用相同,在本发明触控电极的又一种实施方式中,第一选通电路31中的第一开关电路通过控制单元来实现。具体地,触控面板的第一控制信号线为一条,触控电极22的数量为m。第一选通电路31包括m个第一开关电路,m个第一开关电路S1~Sm,其中m个第一开关电路的结构与图3所示实施例的第一开关电路的结构不相同。每个第一开关电路包括相互连接的存储单元51和控制单元52。存储单元51设置有控制信号输入端b1,以作为第一开关电路的第一控制信号输入端而连接至第一控制信号线Lc。控制单元52设置有第一电压输入端b2、第二电压输入端b3和输出端b4,第一电压输入端b2作为第一开关电路的第一电压输入端而连接至第一电压线Lv1,第二电压输入端b3作为第一开关电路的第二电压输入端而连接至第二电压线Lv2,输出端b4作为第一开关电路的第一输出端而连接至一根导线23的一端。
其中,存储单元51用于存储标识数据,利用该标识数据以识别每个第一开关电路,进而可以选择相应第一开关电路对与其连接的一根导线23输出触控驱动信号或公共电压。每个第一开关电路中的标识数据不相同。
其中,标识数据可以是一组多位二进制“0”和“1”的组合。例如为四位二进制数。
每个第一开关电路中的存储单元51存储一组多位二进制数,控制信号线Lc在触控扫描阶段的每个时间段里输入一组多位二进制数的控制信号,存储单元51将接收到的多位二进制数与存储的多位二进制数进行比较,并将比较结果输出给对应的控制单元52。控制单元52在接收到的多位二进制数与存储的多位二进制数相一致时,使第一电压输入端b2和输出端b4连通,从而使得第一电压VDD传输至对应的触控电极;当接收到的多位二进制数与存储的多位二进制数不一致时,使第二电压输入端b3和输出端b4连通,从而使得第二电压Vcom传输至对应的触控电极。
其中,触控电极的数量m和标识数据的位数x的关系为:m=2x-1,其中x为大于或等于2的整数。以m=15为例,触控电极的数量为15,此时标识数据为一组四位二进制数,即x=4,此时可以形成15组不同的“0”个“1”组合,分别为“0001”,“0010”、“0011”、“0100”、“0101”、“0110”、“0111”、“1000”、“1001”、“1010”、“1011”、“1100”、“1101”、“1110”、“1111”。第一开关电路的数量也为15,15组四位二进制数分别存储于每个第一开关电路中的存储单元51中。
将触控扫描阶段划分为15个时间段,在15个时间段里控制信号线Lc依次输入上述15组四位二进制数,每个时间段输入一组四位二进制数。每个第一开关电路的存储单元51将接收到的四位二进制数与存储的四位二进制数进行比较,并将比较结果输出给控制单元52。控制单元52在接收到的四位二进制数与存储的四位二进制数相一致时,使第一电压输入端b2和输出端b4连通,从而使得第一电压VDD传输至对应的触控电极;当接收到的四位二进制数与存储的四位二进制数不一致时,使第二电压输入端b3和输出端b4连通,从而使得第二电压Vcom传输至对应的触控电极。
因此,对于第一开关电路S1,只有当控制信号线Lc输入“0001”时第一开关电路S1对与其连接的触控电极22输出第一电压VDD,从而提供触控驱动信号,当控制信号线Lc输入其他四位二进制数时,第一开关电路S1对与其连接的触控电极22输出第二电压Vcom。对于第二开关电
路S2,只有当控制信号线Lc输入“0010”时,第一开关电路S2对与其连接的触控电极22输出第一电压VDD,从而提供触控驱动信号,当控制信号线Lc输入其他四位二进制数时,第一开关电路S2对与其连接的触控电极22输出第二电压Vcom。依此类推其他第一开关电路的输出信号。
而当控制信号线Lc输入“0000”时,所有第一开关电路S1~S15均输出第二电压Vcom。
因此,通过本实施方式的第一开关电路,可以依次对多个触控电极22输入触控驱动信号,从而实现触控功能,也可以对多个触控电极22输入公共电压,从而实现液晶驱动显示。通过上述方式,可以大大减少信号引线的数量,有利于节省边框空间。
其中,当需要驱动更多触控电极时,可以增加二进制的位数,例如五位二进制数可以驱动31个触控电极。
以上所述仅为本发明的实施方式,并非因此限制本发明的专利范围,凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
