进一步地，由于导线数量减少，也可利于所述电容式传感装置200朝小型化发展。
另外，由于所述激励信号Vref为经过所述调制信号M调制后的信号，因此，可以提高所述电容式传感装置200的信噪比，进而提高所述电容式传感装置200的感测精度。

请参阅图4，图4为所述传感器单元22的另一实施方式的结构示意图。所述多条第一电极222沿第一方向间隔排列，且每条第一电极222包括多个第一子电极222a和连接相邻第一子电极222a的导线222b。多条第二电极224沿第二方向间隔排列，且每条第二电极224包括多个第二子电极224a和连接相邻第二子电极224a的导线224b。第一方向和第二方向不同，例如为但不局限于垂直关系。如图4所示，第一电极222作为行电极，在Y方向上依次排列，例如第1行、第2行、第3行…第7行；第二电极224作为列电极，在X方向上依次排列，例如第1列、第2列、第3列…第8列。第一电极222和第二电极224之间的交叉区域形成第二耦合电容CF(见图6)，因此，图4所示的传感器单元22可形成有7*8＝56个第二耦合电容CF。需要说明的是，此处的个数56只是一示例，实际产品的个数多于或少于56个都是可以的，厂商可根据产品需要对应设置。可变更地，第一方向和第二方向例如也可以呈一定的夹角设置，例如为45°、60°等。在本实施方式中，所述第一电极222和第二电极224为矩形块状，然，本申请并不局限于此，所述第一电极222和第二电极224也可为其它合适的形状。相较图3所示的第一电极222和第二电极224，图4所示的第一电极222和第二电极224的长度变短。
可以理解的是，上述各实施方式中第一电极222的结构与第二电极224的结构可以进行多种组合及变形，只要第一电极222和第二电极224呈绝缘交叉设置即可。
上述第一电极222和第二电极224例如可由透明导电材料制成，所述透明导电材料例如为氧化铟锡(ITO)材料、氧化铟锌(IZO)材料等。然，可变更地，所述第一电极222和第二电极224也可由其它合适的导电材料制成，例如，金属材料、合金材料等等。由于第一电极222和第二电极224均为导电电极，因此在第一电极222和第二电极224之间通过设置绝缘材料进行电性隔离。
请参阅图5，图5为本申请电容式传感装置200的截面示意图。在一些实施方式中，上述传感器单元22可进一步包括基板220和绝缘层226。所述多条第二电极224设置在基板220上，绝缘层226设置在多条第二电极224 上，多条第一电极222设置在绝缘层226上。定义第一电极222和第二电极224所在的区域为感测区I，定义基板220上位于感测区I周围的区域为非感测区II。可选地，所述检测单元24和调制单元26位于基板220的非感测区II。然，可变更地，所述检测单元24和调制单元26也可通过例如软性电路电路板等连接件与所述基板220连接，而并非限定检测单元24和调制单元26设置在基板220上。
所述基板220为绝缘基板，例如为玻璃基板、薄膜基板等合适类型的基板。
在一些实施方式中，上述检测单元24例如通过硅工艺处理集成在一颗感测芯片中，上述调制单元26例如通过硅工艺处理集成在一颗控制芯片中。当然，所述检测单元24和调制单元26也不限定分别集成在一颗芯片上，也可以考虑合适的情况而集成在几颗芯片上，例如两颗、三颗等。所述感测芯片和控制芯片例如通过玻璃上芯片(Chip On Glass，COG)的方式或覆晶薄膜(Chip On Film，COF)的方式绑定(Bonding)在基板220上。所述检测单元24和调制单元26进一步例如通过柔性电路板等合适的连接件连接至外部电路(图未示)。
由于本申请的传感器单元22为在绝缘基板220上形成第一电极222与第二电极224，因此，相较于在硅基板上形成感测电极的传感器单元而言，本申请包含所述传感器单元22的电容式传感装置200的制造成本进一步降低。
在一些实施方式中，所述调制单元26例如输出所述调制信号M给检测单元24的接地端c(见图8)，作为检测单元24的地信号。所述地信号对应为变化的信号。相应地，所述检测单元24的电信号均以所述变化的地信号作为电压参照基准信号。当地信号变化时，所述检测单元24中的电信号均随所述地信号的变化而变化。从而，所述检测单元24的所有信号均为经所述调制信号M调制后的信号。
可变更地，在其它实施方式中，所述调制单元26也可以输出调制信号M给检测单元24的电源端d(见图8)或参考电源端(图未示)等，也能够达到对检测单元24中的所有信号进行调制的效果。
由于检测单元24中的所有信号均为经所述调制信号M调制后的信号， 因此，所述多条第一电极222和所述多条第二电极224上的信号均为经所述调制信号M调制后的信号，从而，可以降低相邻第一电极222之间的横向寄生电容、相邻第二电极224之间的横向寄生电容等的不利影响。另外，还可以提高激励信号Vref的信噪比，进而提高感测信号Vd的信噪比，进而进一步提高所述电容式传感装置200的感测精度。
请再参阅图5，在一些实施方式中，上述传感器单元22可进一步包括保护层228。所述保护层228设置在所述多条第一电极222以及绝缘层266上，以避免所述第一电极222与外界直接接触而损坏第一电极222，从而影响感测效果。然，可变更地，在其它实施方式中，所述保护层228也可被省略。另外，例如，当电容式传感装置200为生物信息感测模组时，所述保护层228也可被替换为封装体，所述传感器单元22、感测芯片和控制芯片封装在所述封装体和所述基板220之间。所述封装体用于包覆所述传感器单元22、感测芯片和控制芯片，以及填充传感器单元22、感测芯片和控制芯片之间的间隙。所述封装体例如但不局限为由环氧树脂等材料制成。
请一并参阅图5与图6，图6为第一电极222和第二电极224与检测单元24和调制单元26的连接结构示意图。当一目标物体400接触所述电容式传感装置200的感测区I时，所述目标物体400与所述多条第一电极222之间形成第一耦合电容CS。另外，所述多条第一电极222与所述多条第二电极224之间形成多个第二耦合电容CF。其中，悬空的第一电极222与目标物体400之间形成的第一耦合电容CS是和第二耦合电容CF串联连接于检测单元24与大地之间。相对地，未悬空的第一电极222由于接收所述预定的参考电压信号Vp，则用作屏蔽电极，相应地，未悬空的第一电极222与目标物体400之间形成的第一耦合电容CS被屏蔽，不会被检测单元24所检测到。因此，目标物体400与悬空的第一电极222之间形成的第一耦合电容CS对检测单元24获取感测信息是关键的，能够被检测单元24所检测到。在本实施方式中，所述目标物体为手指400。
一般地，人体与大地连接。相应地，当目标物体例如为人体的手指400时，则所述第一耦合电容CS与第二耦合电容CF相当于串联连接于检测单元24与大地之间。
需要说明的是，在本申请中，词语“接触”包括直接触摸和接近这两种 情况。
在一些实施方式中，所述检测单元24包括参考电路240、多个第一开关S1、和控制电路242。所述参考电路240通过所述多个第一开关S1与所述多条第一电极222一一对应连接。所述参考电路240用于提供所述预定的参考电压信号Vp给所述多条第一电极222。所述控制电路242与所述多个第一开关S1连接，用于控制所述多个第一开关S1断开或闭合。需要说明的是，在图6中，由于只示出一条第一电极222，相应地，仅示出一个第一开关S1。
所述检测单元24通过所述控制电路242控制所述多个第一开关S1依次断开，来实现控制所述多条第一电极222依次悬空。
在电容式传感装置200执行感测时，当所述控制电路242控制所述第一开关S1断开达预定的时间之后，闭合当前断开的第一开关S1，并再断开另一个闭合的第一开关S1。从而，实现依次断开所述多个第一开关S1，使得所述多条第一电极222依次悬空，进而实现感测操作。
在一些实施方式中，该预定的参考电压信号Vp为一恒定电压信号经过调制信号M调制后的信号。然，可变更地，该预定的参考电压信号Vp也可为一恒定电压信号。其中，当该预定的参考电压信号Vp为恒定电压信号时，所述参考电路240优选设置在所述控制芯片而非感测芯片中。所述参考电路240在所述控制芯片中是以系统地或设备地为电压参照基准。所述系统地或设备地上的信号一般为0伏的恒定电压信号。
在某些实施方式中，第一开关S1可以为薄膜晶体管开关。例如非晶硅薄膜晶体管开关、低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管开关、高温多晶硅薄膜晶体管开关、金属氧化物薄膜晶体管开关等等。其中金属氧化物薄膜晶体管开关如为氧化铟镓锌(IGZO)薄膜晶体管开关。相应地，栅极为控制电极，用于控制开关的通/断；源极为第一传输电极，并与参考电路240连接；漏极为第二传输电极，并与第一电极222连接。然，可变更地，在其它实施方式中，该第一开关S1也可以为其它合适类型的开关，如，双极型三极管开关。当然，该第一开关S1还可以为电磁开关，例如继电器等。例如，当第一开关S1为薄膜晶体管等合适类型的开关时，所述多个第一开关S1可以直接在基板220上形成，从而降低了制作成本。
请再参阅图6，在一些实施方式中，所述检测单元24可进一步包括多个 信号读取电路244，所述多个信号读取电路244用于与所述多条第二电极222连接，提供激励信号Vref给所述多条第二电极224，并接收所述多条第二电极224输出的感测信号Vd，以获取感测信息。在本实施方式中，所述多个信号读取电路244的数量等于第二电极224的数量，所述多个信号读取电路244与所述多条第二电极224一一对应连接。所述多个信号读取电路244能够同时输出激励信号Vref给所有的第二电极222，并同时将所有的第二电极224输出的感测信号Vd一次读完。
需要说明的是，在图6中，由于只示出一条第二电极224，因此，为了清楚明了，所述检测单元24中也只示出一个信号读取电路244。然，实际上，每一第二电极224对应分别连接一信号读取电路244。
可变更地，在另一些实施方式中，所述多个信号读取电路244的数量少于所述多条第二电极224的数量。相应地，至少部分或全部的信号读取电路244被复用，分时驱动位于不同位置的第二电极224工作。
在某些变更实施方式中，如图7所示，该检测单元24可进一步包括多个第二开关S2。所述多个第二开关S2与所述多条第二电极224一一对应连接。所述控制电路242与所述多个第二开关S2连接，用于控制所述多个第二开关S2断开或闭合。所述多个信号读取电路244的个数少于所述多个第二开关S2的个数。至少部分或全部的信号读取电路244分别连接至少二第二开关S2，连接至少二第二开关S2的信号读取电路244分时驱动与该至少二第二开关S2分别连接的第二电极224。
在图7所示的实施方式中，所述多个第二开关S2的数量是所述多个信号读取电路244的两倍，每一信号读取电路244分别连接两个第二开关S2。相应地，所述控制电路242例如每次同时控制一半数量的第二开关S2闭合，所有的信号读取电路244每次通过一半数量闭合的第二开关S2同时驱动一半数量的第二电极224工作，通过两次切换，所述多个信号读取电路244驱动所有的第二电极224执行完一次完整检测。如此，通过分时复用，使得所述多个信号读取电路244的个数大大减少，从而降低了电容式传感装置200的制造成本。
工作时，当所述检测单元24依次断开与多条第一电极222的连接时，所述多个信号读取电路244分时与所述多条第二电极224电连接。通过所述 控制电路242控制第二开关S2的断开或闭合，使得所述多个信号读取电路244对第二电极224输出的感测信号Vd进行分时读取。如图7所示，每个信号读取电路244均连接两个第二开关S2，以其中位于左侧的第一个信号读取电路244为例，在进行感测信号Vd的读取时，所述控制电路242先控制与该信号读取电路244相连接的、且位于左侧的一个第二开关S2a闭合，并控制位于右侧的第二开关S2b断开；待与该第二开关S2a连接的第二电极224的感测信号Vd被读取后，所述控制电路242再控制信号读取电路244连接的另一个第二开关S2b闭合，第二开关S2a断开，以读取与该第二开关S2b连接的第二电极224的感测信号Vd。
需要说明的是，为了清楚区分，与位于左侧的第一个信号读取电路244相连接的二第二开关S2在此被分别标示为S2a和S2b。
再例如，所述多个第二开关S2的数量是所述多个信号读取电路244的3倍，每一信号读取电路244连接三个第二开关S2，相应地，所有的信号读取电路244每次同时驱动三分之一的第二电极224工作，通过三次切换，所述多个信号读取电路244驱动所有的第二电极224执行完一次完整检测。本申请前述对信号读取电路244的数量只是举例说明，然，本申请并不以此为限，厂商可根据产品规格以及产品品质等需求，对应设置相应数量的信号读取电路244即可。
当所述多个第二开关S2例如为薄膜晶体管等合适类型的开关时，所述多个第二开关S2也可设置在基板220上。
请一并参阅图6与图7，所述控制电路242例如逐行控制第一开关S1断开。然，可变更地，所述控制电路242也可隔行控制第一开关S1断开，比如，所述控制电路242先控制位于奇数行的第一开关S1逐个断开，然后再控制偶数行的第一开关S1逐个断开。所述控制电路242控制所述多个第一开关S1的断开时序不受本申请在此列举的方式，只要控制电路242在控制当前的第一开关S1断开时，并控制前一断开的第一开关S1闭合，按如此控制方式操作，能够实现控制所有的第一开关S1依次断开的这种方式，都应落入本申请的保护范围。
图7中参考电路240具有一输出端(未标示)，以输出预定的参考电压信号，且该输出端分别连接多个第一开关S1，从而降低了电容式传感装置200 的制造成本。然，可变更地，也可以设置多个参考电路，每个参考电路对应输出预定的参考电压信号，且每个参考信号源与多个第一开关S1一一对应连接。又或者，所述参考电路240包括多个输出端，所述多个输出端与所多个第一开关S1连接。
请一并参阅图7和图8，在一些实施方式中，所述信号读取电路244包括放大器Q和反馈支路F。其中，所述放大器Q包括同相端a、反相端b、接地端c、电源端d、和输出端Vout，所述反馈支路F连接在所述反相端b和所述输出端Vout之间，所述反相端b进一步通过第二开关S2连接第二电极224。所述同相端a用于接收激励信号Vref。所述接地端c用于加载所述调制信号M。所述电源端d用于加载一电源电压。所述反馈支路F包括反馈电容CB和第三开关S3，反馈电容CB和第三开关S3并联连接于所述反相端b与输出端Vout之间。
工作时，所述放大器Q处于虚短状态，所述同相端a与反相端的电压相同。相应地，所述激励信号Vref依次通过同相端a、反相端b、和闭合的第二开关S2输出给第二电极224。同时，所述控制电路242(见图6)控制所述多个第一开关S1依次断开，所述参考电路240通过闭合的第一开关S1提供预定的参考电压信号Vp给第一电极222。例如当有手指400(见图6)接近悬空的第一电极222时，由于手指400与悬空的第一电极222之间形成的第一耦合电容CS是与第二耦合电容CF串接在信号读取电路244与大地之间，而未悬空的第一电极222用作屏蔽电极，因此，所述多条第二电极对应输出的感测信号Vd会有差别。其中，所述第二电极224用于通过所述反馈支路F输出相应的感测信号Vd给输出端Vout。从而，所述检测单元24能够根据所述多条第二电极224输出的感测信号Vd获取相应的感测信息。比如，获取指纹图像信息，又或者，获取触摸操作信息。
需要说明的是，当所述电容式传感装置200例如执行指纹感测时，由于手指400的指纹包括脊和谷，因此，脊和悬空的第一电极222之间形成第一耦合电容CS的电容值大于谷和悬空的第一电极222之间形成第一耦合电容CS的电容值。
所述信号读取电路244并不限于本申请图8所示的电路，也可为其它合适类型的电路，只要能够实现传输激励信号Vref给第二电极224，并接收来 自第二电极224输出的感测信号Vd即均落在本申请的保护范围。
另外，本申请的检测单元24中可选择进一步在输出端Vout之后增加滤波电路、放大电路、模数转换电路等电路。
请参阅图9，图9为本申请的电子设备的一实施方式的结构示意图。所述电子设备500例如但不局限于消费性电子产品、家居式电子产品、车载式电子产品、或穿戴式电子产品等任何合适类型的产品。其中，消费性电子产品例如为手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、桌面显示器、电脑一体机等各类合适的电子产品。家居式电子产品例如为智能门锁、电视、冰箱等各类合适的电子产品。车载式电子产品例如如为车载导航仪、车载DVD等各类合适的电子产品。穿戴式电子产品例如为手表、手环、戒指等各类合适的电子产品。

所述电容式传感装置200例如为一生物信息感测模组，设置在所述电子设备500的非显示区502，例如设置在Home键对应的位置。具体地，所述电容式传感装置200可隐藏于保护盖板503的下方。可变更地，所述电容式传感装置200也可曝露在保护盖板503的一通孔处。另外，所述电容式传感装置200也可设置在电子设备500的侧面或背面等合适的位置。
进一步地，当所述电容式传感装置200为生物信息感测模组时，所述电容式传感装置200也可位于显示区501，例如，所述电容式传感装置200的传感器单元22(见图3)位于显示区501的局部区域。
需要说明的是，当所述电容式传感装置200为生物信息感测模组时，所述生物信息感测模组也可执行触摸感测。
所述电容式传感装置200的传感器单元22(见图3)也可位于显示区501的全部区域。可选地，所述电容式传感装置200执行触摸感测与生物特征信息感测。例如，所述电容式传感装置200用于执行触摸感测，且局部区域用于执行生物特征信息感测。又例如，所述电容式传感装置200也可为分时执行触摸感测与生物特征信息感测等等，如此，所述电子设备500可全屏执行 生物特征信息感测。
在本说明书的描述中，参考术语“一个实施方式”、“某些实施方式”、“示意性实施方式”、“示例”、“具体示例”、或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合所述实施方式或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本发明的至少一个实施方式或示例中。在本说明书中，对上述术语的示意性表述不一定指的是相同的实施方式或示例。而且，描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施方式或示例中以合适的方式结合。
