进一步地,下列术语是示例性的,并非旨在以任何方式进行限制。在阅读本申请之后, 本领域技术人员将认识到,这些术语表述适用于技术、方法、物理元件以及系统(无论目前是否知晓),包括阅读本申请之后本领域技术人员推断出或者可推断的其扩展。
在本实用新型的描述中,需要理解的是:“多个”包括两个和两个以上,“多条”包括两条和两条以上,“多颗”包括两颗和两颗以上,“多行”包括两行和两行以上,“多列”包括两列和两列以上,除非本申请另有明确具体的限定。另外,各元件名称以及信号名称中出现的“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等词语并不是限定元件或信号出现的先后顺序,而是为方便元件命名,清楚区分各元件,使得描述更简洁易懂。
为了避免理解混淆,需要进一步预先说明的有:
对于一般的显示装置而言,显示装置通常包括显示面板和驱动电路。所述驱动电路用于驱动所述显示面板执行图像显示。所述显示面板通常包括多个像素点,每一像素点包括第一电极和第二电极。所述驱动电路通过给各像素点的第一电极提供相同的电压(例如为0伏),给各像素点的第二电极提供不同的电压,从而实现不同灰阶的图像显示。
当所述显示装置为液晶显示装置时,所述第一电极通常被称为公共电极,所述第二电极通常被称为像素电极。所述驱动电路通过提供公共电压给第一电极、提供灰阶电压给第二电极来驱动液晶显示面板执行图像显示刷新。可变更地,所述显示装置也可为其它合适类型的显示装置,例如电子纸显示装置(EPD)、有机电致发光二极管显示装置(OLED)等。当显示装置为OLED时,第一电极也可被称为阴极,第二电极也可被称为阳极。
对于每一像素点而言,其图像显示状态一般包括图像显示刷新状态和图像显示保持状态。以单一像素点为例,当所述驱动电路提供灰阶电压给第二电极、提供公共电压给第一电极时,所述像素点开始执行图像显示刷新,当所述灰阶电压写入至第二电极之后,停止提供灰阶电压给所述第二电极,图像显示刷新完成。之后,所述像素点进入图像显示保持状态,直至所述像素点下一次接收到灰阶电压。
一般地,所述多个像素点例如呈行列式排布。所述驱动电路通常逐行驱动像素点执行图像显示刷新。
上面预先说明图像显示刷新与图像显示保持这两种不同的显示状态,是为更好地理解本申请下面所述的各实施方式做准备。
如前所述,第一电极、第二电极在不同类型的显示装置中的名称有所不同,对于适用本申请的各合适类型的显示装置,统一称第一电极为公共电极,统一称第二电极为像素电极。相应地,下述本申请的驱动芯片提供给公共电极的显示电压信号为公共电压,提供给像素电极的显示电压信号为灰阶电压。
触摸屏一般包括电阻式、电容式、红外线式等几种类型的触摸屏,其中,电容式触摸屏的应用更为广泛。电容式触摸屏又包括互电容式触摸屏和自电容式触摸屏。
在基于互电容的触摸系统中,触摸屏可包括(例如)驱动区及感测区,诸如驱动线及感 测线。在一实例情况中,驱动线可形成多行,而感测线可形成多列(例如,正交)。触摸像素可设置于行与列的交叉点处。在操作期间,可用交流信号(AC)波形来激励所述行,且互电容可形成于该触摸像素的行与列之间。在一目标物体接近该触摸像素时,耦合于该触摸像素的行与列之间的一些电荷可改为耦合至该物件上。耦合于该触摸像素上的电荷的此减少可导致行与列之间的互电容的净减少及耦合于该触摸像素上的AC波形的减少。电荷耦合AC波形的此减少可由触摸系统检测并测量以判定该目标物体在触摸该触摸屏时的位置。
相对地,在基于自电容的触摸系统中,每一触摸像素可由形成对地的自电容的个别电极形成。在一目标物体接近该触摸像素时,另一对地电容(capacitance to ground)可形成于该目标物体与该触摸像素之间。该另一对地电容可导致该触摸像素所经受的自电容的净增加。此自电容增加可由触摸系统检测并测量以判定该目标物体在触摸该触摸屏时的位置。

尤其地,所述驱动芯片20在驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示刷新的同时,能够进一步驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。从而,所述触摸显示装置1的触摸感测并不局限在图像显示的行间隙I(见图2)、帧间隙期间进行。
在本实施方式中,所述调制信号MGND为周期性变化的方波信号。然,可变更地,在其它实施方式中,所述调制信号MGND例如也可为正弦波信号、阶梯波信号等其它合适的波形。进一步地,所述调制信号MGND也可为非周期性变化的信号。
当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行图像显示与触摸感测时,所述触摸显示面板10上的元件或被所述驱动芯片20直接驱动,或被所述驱动芯片20间接驱动。以所述触摸显示面板10上的一元件为例,当所述元件被所述驱动芯片20直接驱动时,所述元件上的电压信号为来自所述驱动芯片20输出的信号;当所述元件未被所述驱动芯片20直接驱动时,则例如通过电容耦合被所述驱动芯片20间接驱动,电容耦合例如存在于被所述驱动芯片20直接驱动的元件与被所述驱动芯片20间接驱动的元件之间,相应地,所述元件的信号因电容耦合叠加所述调制信号MGND。从而,所述触摸显示面板10上的所有电压信号均为经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。除了电容耦合,所述触摸显示面板10中的元件例如还可通过电阻等元件被所述驱动芯片20间接驱动。
相应地,当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行图像显示与触摸感测时,所述触摸显示面板10上的所有电压信号均为经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。其中,所述触摸显示面板10上的所有电压信号均随所述调制信号MGND的变化而变化。较佳地,所述触摸显示面板10上的各电压信号均随所述调制信号MGND的升高而升高,随所述调制信号MGND的降低而降低。
如此,所述驱动芯片20可通过同步或近似同步调制所述触摸显示面板10的所有电压信号,来实现在驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行正常图像显示的任意过程中,可同时驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测。进一步地,由于被所述调制信号MGND调制,所述触摸驱动信号可被抬高,因此,所述公共电极101输出给所述驱动芯片20的触摸感测信号可相应地被抬高,从而可提高所述触摸显示装置1的触摸感测的信噪比,进而提高所述触摸显示装置1的触摸感测的精确度。
可选地,所述驱动芯片20用于分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行触摸感测。例如, 所述驱动芯片20每次驱动部分公共电极101执行触摸感测,通过多次驱动,完成对所有的公共电极101执行完触摸感测。
在某些具体的实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20例如可逐行驱动公共电极101执行图像显示与触摸感测,也可一次同时驱动多行公共电极101执行图像显示与触摸感测。
由于所述驱动芯片20分时(如,按行或逐行)驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测,因此,所述驱动芯片20的输出引脚则相较于同时驱动所有的公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测的芯片的输出引脚要少,从而可减小所述驱动芯片20的面积,进而达到节省成本的目的。
然,可变更地,在其它实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20也可同时驱动全部公共电极101执行触摸感测。或者,所述驱动芯片20也可采用分时驱动与同时驱动相结合的方式对所述多个公共电极101执行触摸感测。
在不同的实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20可一次驱动一行公共电极101执行触摸感测,也可一次驱动多行公共电极101执行触摸感测,又可一次驱动所有的公共电极101同时执行触摸感测。另外,所述驱动芯片20也可并非按行驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测,例如,按列驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测或按非规律的驱动方式来驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测等等。
需要说明的是,所述驱动芯片20在同时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行图像显示的过程中,实现分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。在一具体的实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20例如每次提供触摸驱动信号给部分公共电极101执行图像显示与触摸感测,所述驱动芯片20则对应提供公共电压给其余的公共电极101执行图像显示。其中,所述触摸驱动信号与所述公共电压相同,且均为经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。
进一步地,所述驱动芯片20还接收来自公共电极101输出的触摸感测信号,以获取目标物体在所述触摸显示面板10上的触摸位置信息。所述目标物体例如为用户的手指、触控笔等合适的物体。
由于触摸驱动信号与公共电压相同,因此,被提供触摸驱动信号的公共电极101在执行触摸感测的同时,能够执行正常的图像显示。相应地,所述触摸显示装置1的触摸感测与图像显示可同时进行。尤其地,当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示刷新时,可进一步驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。
可选地,所述驱动芯片20用于间歇性驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行触摸感测。例如,在一实施例中,所述驱动芯片20在驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行触摸感测与图像显示达一第一预定时间之后,接着再驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示而停止执行触摸感测达一第二预定时间,如此循环往复,所述触摸显示装置1实现图像显示与触摸感测。
当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行触摸感测与图像显示时,所述触摸显示面板10上的所有电压信号或所述驱动芯片20输出给所述触摸显示面板10的所有电压信号均是以所述调制信号MGND为基准。
当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示而非同时执行触摸感测时,替代产生所述调制信号MGND,所述驱动芯片20产生一恒定电压信号,所述触摸显示装置1上的所有电压信号均是以所述恒定电压信号为基准。
较佳地,所述恒定电压信号为接地信号GND,所述接地信号GND例如为0V(伏)的恒定电压信号,但不局限于0V的恒定电压信号,也可为接近0V的恒定电压信号,所述接地信号GND通常为电子设备100的设备地上的电压信号。所述设备地又称系统地,例如为电子设备100的供电电源的负极,供电电源如为电池。所述接地信号GND又称系统地电压、系统地信号、设备地电压、或设备地信号等。通常,所述设备地并非地球大地或绝对大地。然,当电子设备100通过导体与地球大地连接时,所述设备地也可能为地球大地。
其中,所述调制信号MGND相对于所述接地信号GND为变化的信号。
可变更地,在其它实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20例如也可为一直驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行图像显示与触摸感测。又或者,各第一预定时间可相同或不同,各第二预定时间可相同或不同。
由上述可知,所述触摸驱动信号同时用作为公共电压。为了区分所述触摸显示装置1执行触摸感测与非执行触摸感测时,所述驱动芯片20提供给所述多个公共电极101的公共电压不同,定义所述触摸显示装置1在执行触摸感测时,所述驱动芯片20提供给所述多个公共电极101的公共电压为第一公共电压Vcl,定义所述触摸显示装置1在执行图像显示而非同时执行触摸感测时,所述驱动芯片20提供给所述多个公共电极101的公共电压为第二公共电压Vc2。
较佳地,所述第一公共电压Vc1与所述调制信号MGND之间的压差保持不变。即,所述第一公共电压Vc1相对所述调制信号MGND保持不变。所述第一公共电压Vc1相对所述接地信号GND为变化的信号。
所述第二公共电压Vc2相较于所述接地信号GND保持不变。然,可变更地,所述第二公共电压Vc2相较于所述接地信号GND也可为变化的信号,例如为一方波信号。当所述第二公共电压Vc2与第一公共电压Vc1均为周期性的方波信号时,所述第二公共电压Vc2的频率小于所述第一公共电压Vc1的频率。
需要再说明的是,以一个公共电极101为例,当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述公共电极101同时执行图像显示与触摸感测时,提供给所述公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1同时用作显示驱动信号与触摸驱动信号;当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述公共电极101仅执行图像显示时,提供给所述公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1仅用作显示驱动信号。
由上述内容可知,当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述多个公共电极101分时执行触摸感测时,所述驱动芯片20同时提供给所述多个公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1并不是都同时用作触摸驱动信号。然而,当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述多个公共电极101同时执行触摸感测时,提供给所述多个公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1同时又都用作触摸驱动信号。
尤其地,当所述驱动芯片20分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行触摸感测时,虽然所述驱动芯片20同时提供相同的第一公共电压Vc1给所述多个公共电极101,但是所述驱动芯片20中驱动公共电极101同时执行图像显示与触摸感测的电路结构与驱动公共电极101仅执行图像显示的电路结构是不同的。关于此,本申请下面会做具体说明。
由于所述触摸显示面板10上的所有电压信号均为经所述调制信号MGND同步调制后的信号,因此,所有电压信号中经调制后的显示驱动信号能够驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行正常图像显示,而且经调制后的显示驱动信号,例如,第一公共电压Vc1,可进一步适用于驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。相应地,所述驱动芯片20在驱动触摸显示面板10执行图像显示的任意过程中,均可同时驱动触摸显示面板10执行触摸感测,且所述触摸感测不会影响正常的图像显示。进一步地,即使当触摸显示装置1的显示分辨率提高,也并不会缩短触摸感测的时间,从而提高电子设备100的用户使用体验。
为了更好地理解,可先参见图5,一般地,所述触摸显示面板10包括多个像素点11,每个像素点11包括公共电极101与像素电极103。所述公共电极101与所述像素电极103之间的压差的绝对值决定了所述像素点11的显示灰度等级。当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行触摸感测时,公共电极101与像素电极103上的信号被所述调制信号MGND同步调制后,公共电极101与像素电极103之间的显示压差不会改变,因此,触摸显示面板10进行正常的图像显示。而经所述调制信号MGND调制后的第一公共电压Vc1可进一步用作触摸驱动信号。因此,在确保触摸显示面板10执行正常显示图像的过程中,所述驱动芯片20能够进一步驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。
需要说明的是,对于执行图像显示刷新的像素点11和执行图像显示保持的像素点11而言,执行图像显示刷新的像素点11的像素电极103上的信号为来自驱动芯片20所提供的调制后的信号,执行图像显示保持的像素点11的像素电极103上的信号因电容耦合叠加所述调制信号MGND。
所述触摸显示装置1例如为高清(HD)显示装置、全高清(FHD)显示装置、超高清(UHD)显示装置等各种类型的显示装置,对应地,显示分辨率例如为1280x720、1920x1080、3840x2160,然,所述显示分辨率并不局限于此,例如,当显示分辨率为2K时,2K可为1920x1080,然,也可为2560X1440等各种合适情况。类似地,当显示分辨率为4K、8K时,也可包括多种情况。对于本申请的触摸显示装置1而言,在其图像显示的任意过程中,能够进一步执行触摸感测,且触摸感测不影响正常的图像显示。
由于所述触摸显示面板10上的电压信号被所述调制信号MGND同步调制,且经调制后的第一公共电压Vc1可同时用作显示驱动信号与触摸驱动信号,因此,所述触摸显示装置1可同时执行图像显示刷新与自电容触摸感测,且所述触摸显示装置1的图像显示与触摸感测之间并不存在干扰或干扰较小。
另外,当所述触摸显示面板10在所述驱动芯片20的驱动下处于非图像显示刷新的状态时,例如,行间隙I(见图2所示)、帧间隙时,所述驱动芯片20也可驱动公共电极101一同执行自电容触摸感测。此时,所述触摸显示面板10整体处于图像显示保持的状态,由于采用所述调制信号MGND对驱动芯片20输出给触摸显示面板10的信号进行同步调制,因此,执行触摸感测并不会改变像素点11(见图5)的两个电极101、103之间的显示压差,相应地,触摸显示面板10的图像显示与触摸感测的品质较好。
由于所述驱动芯片20在驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示的任意过程中、均可驱动公共电极101一同执行触摸感测,因此,厂商可根据需要自行设定所述驱动芯片20驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测的时段。具体地,例如,在图像显示的整个过程或部分过程中,执行触摸感测。更具体地,例如,在图像显示刷新期间和/或行间隙I、帧间隙期间,执行触摸感测,等等。
在本实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20同时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行图像显示,以及分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。
需要说明的是,对于所述多个公共电极101作为整体而言,所述驱动芯片20是分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测的。然,对于所述多个公共电极101中的部分公共电极101而言,所述驱动芯片20可为同时驱动部分公共电极101执行触摸感测的。例如,所述驱动芯片20每次同时驱动所述多个公共电极101中的一部分公共电极101执行触摸感测,通过多次驱动,完成对所有公共电极101的一次触摸感测。
在本申请中,只要所述驱动芯片20通过多次驱动才完成对所述多个公共电极101的一次触摸感测,即定义所述驱动芯片20为分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行触摸感测。
对于所述驱动芯片20分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测,在某些实施方式中,例如可为:所述驱动芯片20按行驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。当所述驱动芯片20提供所述第一公共电压Vc1给一行公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测与图像显示时,也提供所述第一公共电压Vc1给其余行的公共电极101执行图像显示。当所述驱动芯片20驱动一行公共电极101执行完自电容触摸感测后,接下来,驱动另一行公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测与图像显示,并驱动其余行的公共电极101执行图像显示。如此,通过多次驱动,完成对所有的公共电极101的一次触摸感测驱动。
需要说明的是,所述驱动芯片20先后驱动执行触摸感测的公共电极101可部分重叠或不相重叠。
尤其地,对于所述驱动芯片20间歇性驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行自电容触摸感测的方式,定义存在公共电极101执行触摸感测的时段为第一时段W1,定义所述多个公共电极101均执行图像显示而非同时执行触摸感测的时段为第二时段W2。相邻的第一时段W1之间包括第二时段W2。例如,所述第一时段W1与所述第二时段W2交替进行。
在第一时段W1,所述驱动芯片20产生所述调制信号MGND,并利用所述调制信号MGND同步调制所述触摸显示面板10的输入信号。相应地,所述驱动芯片20同时输出所述第一公共电压Vcl给所述多个公共电极101执行图像显示,并分时接收来自所述多个公共电极101输出的触摸感测信号,以获取触摸信息。
为了便于与下述的第二时段W2的信号进行清楚区分,定义所述驱动芯片20在第一时段W1输出给所述触摸显示面板10的电压信号均为第一信号,定义所述驱动芯片20在第二时段W2输出给所述触摸显示面板10的电压信号均为第二信号。相应地,所述第一信号包括所述第一公共电压Vc1。
在每一第二时段W2,所述驱动芯片20输出第二信号给所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示。
较佳地,在第二时段W2,所述驱动芯片20并不利用所述调制信号MGND同步调制所述触摸显示面板10的输入信号。相应地,所述第一信号例如为所述第二信号经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。所述驱动芯片20输出所述第一信号给所述触摸显示面板10同时执行图像显示与自电容触摸感测。
所述第二信号包括所述第二公共电压Vc2。在第二时段W2,所述驱动芯片20输出第二公共电压Vc2给所述多个公共电极101执行图像显示。
所述第一公共电压Vc1例如为所述第二公共电压Vc2经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。对于液晶显示装置而言,所述第二公共电压Vc2例如为(-1)V,然,对于其它类型的显示装置而言,所述第二公共电压Vc2也可为其它大小的电压信号。
所述调制信号MGND的幅度例如为0.15V到0.3V之间的信号。可选地,所述调制信号MGND的幅度例如为0.2V的信号。
然,本实用新型并不局限于此,所述调制信号MGND、所述第二公共电压Vc2等信号也可为其它合适类型的信号。
由于在第二时段W2,所述驱动芯片20并不利用所述调制信号MGND同步调制所述触摸显示面板10的输入信号,例如,所述驱动芯片20仍然采用现有的显示驱动方式对所述触摸显示面板10进行驱动,因此,所述触摸显示装置1在第二时段W2相较于在第一时段W1采用调制的技术方案要相对降低功耗。
由上述可知,驱动芯片20采用间歇性驱动所述多个公共电极101执行触摸感测的方式,所述触摸显示装置1不仅在执行图像显示的任意过程中可进一步执行自电容触摸感测, 也可尽量避免因采用调制方案而导致功耗较大的问题。
在第一时段W1,所述驱动芯片20例如驱动多行公共电极101执行完触摸感测,或者,驱动所有的公共电极101执行完一次触摸感测,或者,驱动所有的公共电极101执行完多次触摸感测。对于所述驱动芯片20驱动所有的公共电极101执行完多次触摸感测的情况又可分为多种情况,例如,所述驱动芯片20驱动所有的公共电极101执行完触摸感测的次数相同,或者,所述驱动芯片20驱动一部分公共电极101执行完触摸感测的次数相同,驱动另一部分公共电极101执行完触摸感测的次数相同,然,所述驱动芯片20驱动这两部分公共电极101执行完触摸感测的次数不同。
需要说明的是,所述第二时段W2的时长设置需对所述触摸显示装置1整体检测触摸操作并不存在影响,相反还可在一定程度上降低功耗。
各第一时段W1的时长例如相同,各第二时段W2的时长例如相同。然,所述各第一时段W1的时长也可并不完全相同或彼此均不同,所述各第二时段W2的时长也可并不完全相同或彼此均不同。另外,对于不同类型的触摸显示装置1、对于尺寸不同的触摸显示装置1、对于材料不同的触摸显示装置1的第一时段W1、第二时段W2也可对应不同。进一步地,对于所述触摸显示装置1工作在不同的状态,例如,黑屏待机状态与亮屏图像显示状态,所述第一时段W1、第二时段W2的时长设置也可不同,以降低功耗。
下面主要以驱动芯片20间歇性且分时驱动所述多个公共电极101执行触摸感测的方式,对触摸显示装置1及其工作原理进行说明。
请参阅图3,图3为所述电子设备100的一具体实施方式的电路结构示意图。所述驱动芯片20包括调制电路21、公共电压产生电路22、触摸驱动电路23、数据选择电路24、控制电路25、和信号处理电路26。所述公共电压产生电路22和所述触摸驱动电路23连接所述数据选择电路24。所述数据选择电路24连接所述多个公共电极101。所述控制电路25与所述数据选择电路24相连接。所述公共电压产生电路22和所述触摸驱动电路23通过所述数据选择电路24可选择性连接相应的公共电极101。
所述公共电压产生电路22用于驱动公共电极101执行图像显示。
所述触摸驱动电路23用于驱动同一公共电极101同时执行图像显示与自电容触摸感测。
所述信号处理电路26用于根据所述触摸驱动电路23所输出的触摸感测信号进行触摸坐标计算,获取触摸位置信息。
所述数据选择电路24在所述控制电路25的控制下,对应选择输出所述公共电压产生电路22所产生的信号给相应的公共电极101执行图像显示,以及选择输出所述触摸驱动电路23所产生的信号给相应的公共电极101执行图像显示与自电容触摸感测。
所述控制电路25例如根据主控芯片3的控制信号,对应控制所述数据选择电路24的 信号输出时序。
所述调制电路21用于产生所述调制信号MGND。所述调制信号MGND包括第一参考信号与第二参考信号。所述第一参考信号与第二参考信号的电压情况可为下述五种情况中的任意一种:
第一:第一参考信号的电压为正电压,第二参考信号的电压为0V;
第二:第一参考信号的电压为0V,第二参考信号的电压为负电压;
第三:第一参考信号的电压为正电压,第二参考信号的电压为负电压,所述第一参考信号的电压的绝对值等于或不等于所述第二参考信号的电压的绝对值;
第四:第一参考信号、第二参考信号的电压为大小不同的正电压;
第五:第一参考信号、第二参考信号的电压为大小不同的负电压。
以接地信号GND为参照,所述第一参考信号、第二参考信号均为恒定电压信号。所述调制信号MGND为第一参考信号与第二参考信号交替出现的周期性变化的方波脉冲信号。
在本实施方式中,所述调制信号MGND的第一参考信号为接地信号GND,所述第二参考信号为高于第一参考信号的驱动信号。比如,所述接地信号GND为0V,所述驱动信号为0.2V。然,所述接地信号为0V、所述驱动信号为0.2V只是一个示例,厂商可根据产品的情况对所述调制信号MGND的幅度作对应调整,本申请对此并不做限制。
另外,以第一参考信号为低电平的信号、第二参考信号为高电平的信号为例,较佳地,所述调制信号MGND的第一参考信号的持续时间是第二参考信号的持续时间的2倍。或者,可变更地,所述调制信号MGND的第一参考信号的持续时间与第二参考信号的持续时间的相同。
当所述调制信号MGND的第一参考信号的持续时间是第二参考信号的持续时间的2倍时,所述驱动芯片20在第一参考信号的前半部分期间进行重置操作,在第一参考信号的后半部分以及第二参考信号存在期间分别进行触摸感测信号的采样。如此,能够提高触摸感测的精度。
当所述调制信号MGND的第一参考信号的持续时间与第二参考信号的持续时间相同时,所述驱动芯片20例如在第一参考信号存在期间进行重置操作,在第二参考信号存在期间分别进行触摸感测信号的采样。
然,本实用新型并不以此为限,所述调制信号MGND的第一参考信号和第二参考信号的持续时间也可为其它合适的类型。
可选地,所述驱动芯片20进一步包括电压产生电路27。所述电压产生电路27用于产生所述第二参考信号。所述调制电路21连接所述电子设备100的设备地和所述电压产生电路22,接收所述设备地上的接地信号GND与所述电压产生电路22产生的第二参考信号, 对应产生所述调制信号MGND。为区别接地信号GND,所述调制信号被标示为MGND。
在本实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20通过提供所述调制信号MGND给驱动芯片20中的一部分地,来达到同步调制触摸显示面板10上的所有电压信号,从而驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行正常的图像显示与触摸感测。即,只要这部分地上的信号为调制信号MGND,所述触摸显示面板10的所有电压信号均同步变为经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。
由上述内容可知,当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行图像显示与触摸感测时,所述驱动芯片20包括两部分地,其中,一部分地用于加载所述调制信号MGND,一部分地用于加载所述接地信号GND。
定义在第一时段W1施加有调制信号MGND的地为调制地,以区别施加有接地信号GND的设备地。相应地,在第一时段W1,所述电子设备100是以两个域为电压参考基准。两个域分别示出为以接地信号GND为基准的域80和以调制信号MGND为基准的域90。其中,在以接地信号GND为基准的域80中的电路的接地端用于加载接地信号GND,在以调制信号MGND为基准的域90中的电路的接地端用于加载调制信号MGND。换句话说,在第一时段W1,对于以调制地为地的电路,其参考地电位为调制地所加载的调制信号MGND;对于以设备地为地的电路,其参考地电位为设备地所加载的接地信号GND。
相对地,在第二时段W2,所述电子设备100是以一个域为电压参考基准,均以接地信号GND为电压参考基准。所述电子设备100中的电路的地均连接设备地,接收接地信号GND。即,在第二时段W2,所述调制地对应变为设备地,用于传输接地信号GND而非调制信号MGND。
预先说明的是,在本实施方式中,在第一时段W1,所述公共电压产生电路22、触摸驱动电路23、信号处理电路26、数据选择电路24、和控制电路25位于所述域90中,另外,所述触摸显示面板10也位于所述域90中;所述调制电路21和电压产生电路27位于所述域80中。
所述调制电路21包括调制端M。所述调制电路21通过所述调制端M输出所述调制信号MGND给到域90中的各电路的接地端,从而,以调制信号MGND为电压参照基准的域90中的电路输出经所述调制信号MGND调制后的电压信号给所述触摸显示面板10。其中,所述调制端M连接调制地,或作为调制地的一端。另外,触摸显示面板10上例如处于悬空状态的元件(如,后述执行图像显示保持的像素电极103,见图5)上的信号因电容耦合作用叠加所述调制信号MGND。因此,在第一时段W1,所述触摸显示面板10上的所有电压电信号均变为经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。
在域90中的电路,例如,所述公共电压产生电路22、触摸驱动电路23、信号处理电路26、数据选择电路24、控制电路25,若包括接地端,则接地端可直接连接至调制地。
在第二时段W2,所述电子设备100整体上是以接地信号GND为电压参考基准。
相应地,在第一时段W1,所述调制电路21根据设备地上的接地信号GND和来自所述电压产生电路27的驱动信号对应产生所述调制信号MGND,并提供所述调制信号MGND给所述调制地。所述公共电压产生电路22对应产生所述第一公共电压Vc1,并通过所述数据选择电路24提供给相应的公共电极101执行图像显示。所述触摸驱动电路23对应产生所述第一公共电压Vc1,并通过所述数据选择电路24提供给相应的公共电极101执行图像显示与自电容触摸感测。所述信号处理电路26接收来自所述触摸驱动电路23输出的触摸感测信号,以获取触摸信息。即,所述触摸驱动电路23输出给公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1同时用作显示驱动信号与触摸驱动信号,所述公共电压产生电路22输出给公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1仅用作显示驱动信号。
所述触摸驱动电路23与所述公共电压产生电路22输出给所述多个公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1为经所述调制信号MGND调制后的相同信号,且所述触摸驱动电路23能够进一步传输来自公共电极101所感测到的触摸感测信号给信号处理电路26,以获取触摸信息。因此,所述驱动芯片20能够驱动所述触摸显示面板10同时执行图像显示与自电容触摸感测。
由于所述触摸驱动电路23提供给公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1既用作触摸驱动信号,又用作显示驱动信号,因此,在所述公共电压产生电路22驱动部分公共电极101执行图像显示时,所述触摸驱动电路23可一同驱动其余公共电极101执行图像显示与自电容触摸感测。因此,本实用新型的触摸显示装置1在执行图像显示的任意过程之中,均可同时执行触摸感测,且,触摸感测与图像显示之间无干扰或对图像显示造成的干扰较少。
另外,由于所述调制电路21、以及触摸驱动电路23等电路都集成在单颗驱动芯片20中,而单颗芯片相较于多颗芯片节约空间,因此,所述触摸显示装置1占所述电子设备100的空间较小。另外,单颗芯片相较于多颗芯片更有利于触摸显示装置1的组装以及生产管理,提高生产效率,从而,降低所述电子设备100的制造成本。
进一步地,在第二时段W2,所述公共电压产生电路22通过所述数据选择电路24提供第二公共电压Vc2给所述多个公共电极101执行图像显示。

在显示一帧图像的过程中,所述触摸显示装置1可包括一个第一时段W1、多个第一时段W1、一个第一时段W1的一部分、一个第一时段W1和第一时段W1的部分、或多个第一时段W1与第一时段W1的部分。

本实用新型的触摸驱动电路23提供与公共电压产生电路22产生的第一公共电压Vc1相同的触摸驱动信号给公共电极101,从而,所述触摸驱动信号可以驱动公共电极101既执行图像显示又执行自电容触摸感测,因此,所述触摸显示装置1的所述多个公共电极101在执行图像显示的同时,可进一步执行触摸感测。
进一步地,相较于所述触摸驱动电路23与所述公共电压产生电路22分别各用一信号源,由于本申请的所述触摸驱动电路23与所述公共电压产生电路22共用同一信号源221,因此,所述触摸驱动电路23与所述公共电压产生电路22通过所述数据选择电路24输出给所述多个公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1可更趋向相同或能达到相同,从而确保所述触摸显示装置1的图像显示与触摸感测的品质。

在本实施方式中,每一第二数据选择器242的第二输出端口O2分别连接一公共电极101。每一第一输出端口O1分别连接至各第二数据选择器242的一第二输出端口O2与公共电极101之间,从而节省连接线L的数量,不同的第一输出端口O1彼此之间连接不同的第二输出端口O2。

所述第一有源开关211和第二有源开关213如为薄膜晶体管、三极管、金属氧化物半导体场效应管等合适类型的开关。
所述调制电路21的工作原理为:在第一时段W1,所述控制单元215用于控制所述调制电路21输出调制信号MGND给域90中的地,此时域90中的地为调制地;在第二时段W2,所述控制单元215用于控制所述调制电路21输出接地信号GND给调制地,此时调制地变为与设备地相同。
需要进一步说明的是,在第一时段W1,所述电子设备100有一个以接地信号GND为基准的参考域80和一个以调制信号MGND为基准的参考域90,对于触摸显示装置1,由于所述触摸驱动电路23提供触摸驱动信号给公共电极101的同时,进一步接收来自所述 公共电极101本身输出的触摸感测信号,以获取触摸信息,因此,所述触摸驱动电路23在驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行触摸感测时的原理为自电容触摸感测原理。
请一并参阅图2、图3、与图5,图5为所述电子设备100的一具体实施方式的电路结构示意图。如前所述,在此实施方式中,所述触摸显示装置1是以液晶显示装置为例进行说明。然,可变更地,当所述触摸显示装置1为其它类型的显示装置时,所述触摸显示装置1的电路结构可对应所有不同,另外,不同的液晶显示装置的电路结构也可不尽相同,但对于本领域的一般技术人员可对应轻易推导得知的结构均应落入本申请的保护范围。在本实施方式中,所述触摸显示装置1的触摸显示面板10包括多个像素点11。每一像素点11在所述驱动芯片20的驱动下用于执行图像显示与触摸感测。每一像素点11包括所述公共电极101、像素电极103、和控制开关105。所述控制开关105包括控制电极G、第一传输电极S、和第二传输电极D。所述控制电极G和所述第一传输电极S与所述驱动芯片20连接。所述第二传输电极D与所述像素电极103连接。所述驱动芯片20用于驱动所述控制开关105导通与截止。
所述控制开关105例如为薄膜晶体管开关。所述薄膜晶体管开关例如为低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管开关、非晶硅薄膜晶体管开关、氧化铟镓锌(IGZO)薄膜晶体管开关、高温多晶硅薄膜晶体管开关等等。然,本实用新型并不以此为限,所述控制开关105也可为其它合适类型的开关。当所述控制开关105为薄膜晶体管开关时,所述控制电极G为薄膜晶体管开关的栅极,所述第一传输电极S为薄膜晶体管开关的源极,所述第二传输电极D为薄膜晶体管开关的漏极。
在本实施方式中,每一像素点11分别包括一像素电极103和一控制开关105。由于公共电极101的尺寸一般较大于像素电极103的尺寸,相应地,几个像素点11可共用同一公共电极101。然,在其它变更实施方式中,也可为每一像素点11分别包括一公共电极101。另外,对于OLED等其它类型的显示装置,每一像素点11可包括多个开关以及电容等元件。
在第一时段W1,所述驱动芯片20通过提供第一扫描开启信号Vg1给控制开关105,驱动所述控制开关105导通,并通过导通的控制开关105提供第一灰阶电压Vd1给像素电极103,提供第一公共电压Vc1给公共电极101,以驱动所述像素点11执行图像显示刷新。其中,所述第一扫描开启信号Vg1、所述第一灰阶电压Vd1、与所述第一公共电压Vc1均为经所述调制信号MGND同步调制后的信号。
通常,所述驱动芯片20按行驱动所述多个像素点11执行图像显示刷新。在第一时段W1,当所述驱动芯片20驱动某一行的像素点11执行图像显示刷新时,所述驱动芯片20通过提供第一扫描截止信号Vg2给其余行的像素点11的控制开关105,使得所述其余行的像素点11的控制开关105截止,从而,使得所述其余行的像素点11处于图像显示保持状 态。其中,所述第一扫描截止信号Vg2为经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。
一般地,所述多个像素点11呈多行多列的方式排布。然,所述多个像素点11也可呈其它规则或非规则方式排布。
为避免触摸感测对图像显示刷新的干扰,较佳地,所述驱动芯片20同时驱动执行触摸感测的像素点11与执行图像显示刷新的像素点11之间不相重叠,例如,执行图像显示刷新的像素点11与执行触摸感测的公共电极101之间间隔预定行在执行图像显示保持的像素点11。通过软件或硬件或软硬件控制,来实现执行触摸感测的像素点11与执行图像显示刷新的像素点11之间可以保持预定距离而不相重叠。
相对地,在第二时段W2,所述驱动芯片20例如提供第二扫描开启信号Vg3给控制开关105,激活控制开关105,并通过激活的控制开关105提供第二灰阶电压Vd2给像素电极103,提供第二公共电压Vc2给公共电极101执行图像显示刷新。当所述驱动芯片20驱动某一行的像素点11执行图像显示刷新时,提供第二扫描截止信号Vg4给其余行的像素点11的控制开关105截止,从而,使得所述其余行的像素点11处于图像显示保持状态。
所述第一扫描开启信号Vg1例如为所述第二扫描开启信号Vg3经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。所述第一扫描截止信号Vg2例如为所述第二扫描截止信号Vg4经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。
所述第一灰阶电压Vd1为相应的第二灰阶电压Vd2经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号。例如,当一第一灰阶电压Vd1为第二灰阶电压Vd2经所述调制信号MGND调制后的信号,则,第二灰阶电压Vd2与第二公共电压Vc2之间的压差等于第一灰阶电压Vd1与第一公共电压Vc1之间的压差。
对于各像素点11:所述第一像素电极103与所述公共电极101之间的压差决定各像素点11的显示灰度级别。对于液晶显示装置而言,为了使得液晶分子不被极化,对于同一显示灰度级别,灰阶电压可分为正极性灰阶电压和负极性灰阶电压。
所述触摸显示面板10可进一步包括多条扫描线281和多条数据线291。所述多条扫描线281和所述多条数据线291例如为绝缘交叉排布。所述多条扫描线281例如沿X方向延伸,沿Y方向排布。所述多条数据线291例如沿Y方向延伸,沿X方向排布。每一扫描线281分别连接一行像素点11的控制开关105的控制电极G。每一数据线291分别连接一列像素点11的控制开关的第一传输电极S。
所述多条扫描线281用于传输来自所述驱动芯片20的第一扫描开启信号Vg1、第二扫描开启信号Vg3、第一扫描截止信号Vg2、或第二扫描截止信号Vg4给控制开关105的控制电极G。所述多条数据线291用于传输来自所述驱动芯片20的第一灰阶电压Vd1、或第二灰阶电压Vd2给控制开关105的第一传输电极S。
所述驱动芯片20进一步包括显示驱动电路20a。所述显示驱动电路20a用于驱动所述 触摸显示面板10执行图像显示。所述显示驱动电路20a包括扫描驱动电路28、扫描信号产生电路28a、数据驱动电路29、和所述公共电压产生电路22。所述扫描驱动电路28连接所述多条扫描线281。所述数据驱动电路29连接所述多条数据线291。所述扫描驱动电路28和所述数据驱动电路29均与所述控制电路25连接。所述控制电路25进一步用于控制所述扫描驱动电路28的扫描时序,以及提供相应的显示数据给所述数据驱动电路29。所述扫描信号产生电路28a与所述扫描驱动电路28连接。所述扫描信号产生电路28a用于产生所述第一扫描开启信号Vg1、第二扫描开启信号Vg3、第一扫描截止信号Vg2、或第二扫描截止信号Vg4,并提供所述第一扫描开启信号Vg1、第二扫描开启信号Vg3、第一扫描截止信号Vg2、或第二扫描截止信号Vg4给所述扫描驱动电路28。所述扫描驱动电路28例如包括移位寄存器的电路结构,接收来自扫描信号产生电路28a的扫描开启信号和扫描截止信号,并在控制电路25的控制下对应提供扫描开启信号和扫描截止信号给相应的扫描线281。
在本实施方式中,工作时,在第一时段W1,所述扫描信号产生电路28a、所述扫描驱动电路28和数据驱动电路29也位于域90中。所述扫描信号产生电路28a受所述调制电路21的调制信号MGND的调制输出所述第一扫描开启信号Vg1、所述第一扫描截止信号Vg2给所述扫描驱动电路28,所述扫描驱动电路28在控制电路25的时序控制下对应输出所述第一扫描开启信号Vg1、所述第一扫描截止信号Vg2分别给相应的扫描线281,所述数据驱动电路29受所述调制电路21的调制信号MGND的调制,输出所述第一灰阶电压Vd1给所述多条数据线291,以通过激活的控制开关105提供给相应的像素电极103执行图像显示刷新。所述公共电压产生电路22和所述触摸驱动电路23通过所述数据选择电路24提供第一公共电压Vc1给所述多个公共电极101。
另外,处于图像显示保持的像素点11的像素电极103上的信号通过电容耦合作用变为经所述调制信号MGND调制的信号。因此,所述触摸显示面板10的各像素点11的像素电极103与公共电极101上的信号均变为经所述调制信号MGND同步调制后的信号。从而,所述驱动芯片20在驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行正常图像显示的任意过程中,均可同时驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测。
例如,当所述扫描驱动电路28提供所述第一扫描开启信号Vg1给一扫描线281时,所述公共电压产生电路22提供所述第一公共电压Vc1给部分公共电极101执行图像显示,所述触摸驱动电路23提供第一公共电压Vc1给其余公共电极101执行图像显示与自电容触摸感测。
相较于现有的复用公共电极执行触摸感测的Incell类型的触摸显示装置,本申请的触摸显示装置1通过利用所述调制信号MGND同步调制触摸显示面板10的输入信号,从而使得用于驱动公共电极101执行图像显示的信号可进一步用作触摸驱动信号,因此,所述 驱动芯片20在提供第一扫描开启信号Vg1给扫描线281时,也同样可以对公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测,相应地,触摸显示装置1不必受限于在行间隙I、帧间隙来驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测,从而,对于显示分辨率提高的显示装置并不会存在执行触摸感测的时间不够的技术问题。另外,所述触摸显示装置1在显示图像的任意过程中执行触摸感测,对图像的正常显示无影响或影响较小。
需要说明的是,所述驱动芯片20输出至所述多个公共电极101的第一公共电压Vc1均相同,且,所述第一公共电压Vc1相较于接地信号GND为变化的信号,从而,可采用所述第一公共电压Vc1进一步用作触摸驱动信号,相应地,所述驱动芯片20在驱动公共电极101执行正常图像显示的同时,可进一步驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。
另外,在第二时段W2,所述扫描信号产生电路28a输出所述第二扫描开启信号Vg3、所述第二扫描截止信号Vg4给所述扫描驱动电路28,所述扫描驱动电路28在控制电路25的控制下对应输出第二扫描开启信号Vg3、所述第二扫描截止信号Vg4分别给相应的扫描线281,所述数据驱动电路29输出第二灰阶电压Vd2给所述多条数据线291,以通过激活的控制开关105提供给相应的像素电极103。所述公共电压产生电路22提供第二公共电压Vc2给所述多个公共电极101。从而,驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示。
对于液晶显示装置而言,所述第二公共电压Vc2一般选择相对所述接地信号GND为不变的恒定电压信号,例如为(-1)V。在第一时段W1,所述调制信号MGND例如为周期性变化的信号,频率例如为200KHZ,幅度为0.2V,即调制信号MGND的第一参考信号为0V,第二参考信号为0.2V。相应地,所述第一公共电压Vc1为(-1)V的电压信号和(-0.8)V的电压信号交替输出的信号。
需要说明的是,在图5中,仅示出调制电路21输出调制信号MGND给触摸驱动电路23,省略了调制电路21输出调制信号MGND给域90中其它具有接地端的电路,例如公共电压产生电路22、扫描信号产生电路28a等,然,本领域技术人员根据上述说明可以明确得知所述调制电路21是有输出调制信号MGND给域90中其它具有接地端的电路。
在某些实施方式中,所述驱动芯片20也可并不驱动所有的公共电极101均执行自电容触摸感测。
另外,在某些变更的实施方式中,所述扫描驱动电路28例如通过GIP(Gate In Panel)技术形成在所述触摸显示面板10上,而并非集成在所述驱动芯片20中。
类似地,所述数据选择电路24也可例如通过GIP技术形成在所述触摸显示面板10上,而并非集成在所述驱动芯片20中。

较佳地,所述多个公共电极101设置在所述显示媒质层108与所述第二基板107之间。在本实施方式中,所述多个公共电极101位于所述显示媒质层108与所述多个像素电极103之间。例如,所述多个公共电极101位于同一层,所述多个像素电极103位于同一层,二者层叠设置。另外,由于所述触摸显示装置1是以液晶显示装置为例,相应地,所述液晶显示装置为边缘场转换型(Fringe Field Switching,FFS)的液晶显示装置。所述多个公共电极101上分别设置有狭缝101a。从而以与像素电极103之间形成边缘电场。在此实施方式中,所述多个像素电极103上可不设置狭缝,各为一整片电极,然,可变更地,所述多个像素电极103上也可设置有狭缝,从而提高边缘电场强度。
请一并参阅图8与图9,图8为图5所示触摸显示面板10的另一实施方式的剖面结构示意图。图9为图8所示触摸显示面板10的俯视示意图。所述多个公共电极101也可设置在像素电极103与第二基板107之间。所述多个公共电极101与所述多个像素电极103之间层叠设置。所述多个像素电极103上分别设置有狭缝103a,以与公共电极101之间形成边缘电场。在此实施方式中,所述多个公共电极101上可不设置狭缝,各为一整片电极,然,可变更地,所述多个公共电极101上也可设置有狭缝,从而提高边缘电场强度。
另外,可变更地,所述触摸显示面板10也可为平面转换型(In-Plane Switching,IPS)的液晶显示面板,或,所述触摸显示面板10也可为扭曲向列型(Twisted Nematic,TN)的液晶显示面板,或,所述触摸显示面板10为其它任何合适类型的显示面板。其中,对于IPS 的液晶显示面板,像素电极103与公共电极101之间形成的电场为平行电场。
请再参阅图1和图3,所述电子设备100进一步包括所述主控芯片3。所述主控芯片3与所述触摸显示装置1连接。所述主控芯片3用于与所述触摸显示装置1进行数据通信。所述主控芯片3还进一步用于提供电源电压给所述触摸显示装置1。所述主控芯片3可以是单一芯片,也可以是一芯片组。当主控芯片3为芯片组时,所述芯片组包括应用处理器(Application Processor,AP)和电源芯片。另外,所述芯片组可进一步包括存储芯片。进一步地,所述应用处理器也可为中央处理器(Central Processing Unit,CPU)。
所述主控芯片3包括供电电源端31和接地端33。所述供电电源端31连接驱动芯片20,用于为驱动芯片20供电。所述接地端33连接设备地,接收设备地的接地信号GND。在第一时段W1和第二时段W2,所述主控芯片3均是以接地信号GND为电压参考基准。

需要说明的是,在第一时段W1,由于所述主控芯片3位于域80中,所述显示驱动电路20a、触摸驱动电路23等电路位于域90中,因此,位于域80中的主控芯片3与位于域90中的显示驱动电路20a、触摸驱动电路23等电路之间的信号传输例如需经由电平转换处理,以满足电子元件的耐压需求。相对地,在第二时段W2,主控芯片3与显示驱动电路20a、触摸驱动电路23等电路之间的信号传输若需经由电平转换处理,则进行电平转换处理,若无需经由电平转换处理,则不进行电平转换处理。
请一并参阅图3、图10与图11,图10为图3所示信号处理电路26的一实施方式的结构框图。所述图11为图10所示信号处理电路26的一信号处理单元261的一实施方式的结构示意图。所述信号处理电路26包括多个信号处理单元261。每一信号处理单元261对应连接一运算放大器231,用于对从所述运算放大器231输出的感测信号进行处理与计算,获得触摸信息。
所述信号处理单元261包括模拟-数字信号转换单元263和计算单元265。所述模拟-数字信号转换单元263对来自运算放大器231的第二输出端g2所输出的信号进行模数转换,并输出转换后的数字信号给所述计算单元265。所述计算单元265根据所述数字信号计算获得触摸坐标。所述计算单元265与所述主控芯片3连接,用于输出表示触摸坐标的 信号给主控芯片3。所述主控芯片3根据所述表示触摸坐标的信号对应控制电子设备100执行相应的功能。
需要说明的是,所述信号处理电路26的结构也并非限于图10所示的结构,例如,也可为多个运算放大器231共用一信号处理单元261,而并非为每一运算放大器231对应分别连接一信号处理单元261。
另外,在运算放大器231与信号处理单元261中增加相应的电路模块或省略部分电路模块也是可以的,又或者,采用其它电路模块或电路单元来也实现相同功能同样是可以的。具体地,如,在模拟-数字信号转换单元263与第二输出端g2之间进一步包括滤波单元,所述滤波单元对第二输出端g2输出的信号进行滤波处理之后再输出滤波后的信号给模拟-数字信号转换单元263。
当所述驱动芯片20驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行触摸感测时,由于域80、90之间的地电压不同,因此,当这两个域80、90之间进行信号传输时,需要对信号进行电平转换,以满足电子元件的耐压需求。相应地,所述驱动芯片20可进一步包括电平转换单元264。所述电平转换单元264横跨两个域80、90。例如,所述计算单元265通过所述电平转换单元264连接所述主控芯片3。所述电平转换单元264用于对所述计算单元265输出的表示触摸坐标的信号进行电平转换后,再输出经电平转换后的信号给所述主控芯片3。
请参阅图12,图12为所述电子设备100的又一实施方式的结构示意图。所述触摸显示面板10可进一步包括接地元件,所述接地元件例如为接地线L1。所述接地线L1例如设置在所述多个像素点11的周围。然,所述接地元件并不限于所述接地线L1。另外,所述扫描驱动电路28例如可集成在所述触摸显示面板10上(Gate In Panel,GIP),相应地,所述接地元件也可为扫描驱动电路28中的接地元件。所述接地线L1在其它实施方式中也可被省略。
所述驱动芯片20可进一步包括第一接地端201和第二接地端203。所述调制电路21连接于所述第一接地端201与所述第二接地端203之间。其中,所述第一接地端201连接所述触摸显示面板10上的接地元件,在本实施方式中,所述第一接地端201连接所述接地线L1。所述第二接地端203连接设备地,接收接地信号GND。在第一时段W1,所述调制电路21通过所述第一接地端201输出所述调制信号MGND给所述触摸显示面板10;在第二时段W2,所述调制电路21通过所述第一接地端201输出所述接地信号GND给所述触摸显示面板10。
对于位于域90中的各电路的接地端例如连接在所述调制电路21与所述第一接地端201之间,对于位于域80中的各电路的接地端例如连接在所述调制电路21与所述第二接地端203之间。
所述驱动芯片20例如可进一步包括斜率控制器204,所述斜率控制器204与所述调制 电路21连接,用于控制所述调制电路21输出的调制信号的斜率,以减少电磁干扰(EMI)。另,所述斜率控制器204例如设置在以GND为基准的域80中。然,在其它实施方式中,所述斜率控制器204也可被省略。
所述驱动芯片20可进一步包括显示处理电路205。所述显示处理电路205连接于所述主控芯片3与所述电平转换单元264之间。所述电平转换单元264进一步与控制电路25连接。所述显示处理电路205用于对来自主控芯片3的显示数据进行相应处理(如,存储、解压缩、色彩调整等)。所述电平转换单元264设置在所述显示处理电路205与控制电路25之间,用于对所述显示处理电路205处理后的显示数据进行电平转换,并输出电平转换后的显示数据给所述控制电路25。所述控制电路25输出相应的显示数据以及时序信号给所述显示驱动电路20a。所述显示驱动电路20a转换接收到的显示数据为灰阶电压,并根据所述时序信号在第一时段W1输出第一灰阶电压Vd1给相应的像素电极103执行图像显示刷新,在第二时段W2输出第二灰阶电压Vd2给相应的像素电极103执行图像显示刷新。所述显示数据优选为数字信号。
需要说明的是,在第二时段W2,不采用调制地的方案时,若显示处理电路205与所述控制电路25之间的信号不需电平转换时,则对显示处理电路205与控制电路25之间的信号可不进行电平转换,但是,在第一时段W1,采用调制地技术方案,由于域80与域90的电压参考基准不同,所以需做电平转换。
在本实施方式中,对驱动芯片20中各电路模块或电路单元在两个域80、90的划分情况为:将显示驱动电路20a、触摸驱动电路23、信号处理电路26、数据选择电路24、和控制电路25均划分在以MGND为基准的域90中,另外,触摸显示面板10也划分在域90中;将调制电路21、显示处理电路205、电压产生电路27、斜率控制器204均划分在以GND为基准的域80中;电平转换单元264横跨两个域,即,一部分在域80中,一部分在域90中,对于本领域的一般技术人员,其根据本申请的记载以及电路原理是可以确定电平转换单元264分别位于域80与域90的部分,此处对此不再赘述。
可变更地,本实用新型对驱动芯片20在上述两个域80、90的划分方式也可为其它合适的情况,并不局限于上述实施方式所述的划分。
需要进一步说明的是,从域80输出到域90的信号会被调制信号MGND调制,对应地,从域90输出到域80的信号也会被进行相应调制,如,与调制信号MGND相反的调制等。
另外,所述调制信号MGND的幅度变化为0.2V左右,以不影响电平转换单元264正常工作为依据,需根据主控芯片3进来的信号的电平和所述电平转换单元264的器件类型有所变化。
进一步地,由于0.2V的电压相对1.8V的电压要较小,因此,被调制信号MGND调 制后的信号的幅度相对变化较小,因此,域80和域90之间的信号也可选择无需进行电平转换,或者,所述电平转换单元264例如也可仅设置在域80中,对来自所述信号处理电路26输出的信号进行电平转换。
由于所述触摸显示面板10在执行触摸感测时的电压信号被调制信号MGND整体同步调制,其中,所述驱动芯片20提供给公共电极101执行图像显示的显示驱动信号,即,公共电压,如,第二公共电压Vc2,经所述调制信号MGND调制后,能同时适用于驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测,从而,在保证触摸显示面板10执行正常图像显示的同时,可进一步驱动公共电极101执行触摸感测,另,还可以提高触摸显示装置1的信噪比,进而提高触摸感测精度。
请继续参阅图12,在本实施方式中,在第一时段W1,由于所述驱动芯片20的一部分是在以GND为基准的域80中,一部分是在以MGND为基准的域90中,因此,可能会有域90中的电流反灌至域80的可能,为了防止这种现象,所述电子设备100可进一步包括保护电路15,所述保护电路15设置在域80与域90之间。
具体地,所述驱动芯片20进一步包括第一电源端206和第二电源端207。其中,所述第一电源端206位于域90中。所述第二电源端207与所述主控芯片3的供电电源端31连接。所述主控芯片3通过所述供电电源端31输出电源电压给所述第二电源端207。所述保护电路15连接在所述第二电源端207与所述第一电源端206之间。
当所述调制信号MGND为驱动信号(即,第二参考信号)时,所述保护电路15对应断开所述第一电源端206与所述第二电源端207之间的连接;当所述调制信号MGND为接地信号GND(即,第一参考信号)时,所述保护电路15对应闭合所述第一电源端206与所述第二电源端207之间的连接。
所述保护电路15可集成在所述驱动芯片20中,也可设置在所述驱动芯片20之外。
请参阅图13,图13为保护电路15的一实施方式的电路结构示意图。在本实施方式中,所述保护电路15包括二极管J1。所述二极管J1的阳极连接第二电源端207,所述二极管J1的阴极连接第一电源端206。

所述保护电路15并非限制以上实施方式所述,如,请参阅图14,图14为保护电路15的另一实施方式的电路结构示意图。为了清楚区别图13所示的保护电路15,图14所示的保护电路被标示为15a。所述保护电容15a包括第三有源开关151和控制单元153。所述第三有源开关151包括控制端K3、第一传输端T5、和第二传输端T6。所述第三有源开 关151的控制端K3连接所述控制单元153,所述第一传输端T5连接所述第二电源端207,所述第二传输端T6连接所述第一电源端206。当所述调制信号MGND为驱动信号时,所述控制单元153控制所述第三有源开关151截止,所述保护电路15a对应断开所述第一电源端206与所述第二电源端207之间的连接;当所述调制信号MGND为接地信号GND时,所述控制单元153控制所述第三有源开关151导通,所述保护电路15a对应闭合所述第一电源端206与所述第二电源端207之间的连接。所述第三有源开关151如为薄膜晶体管、三极管、金属氧化物半导体场效应管。

可变更地,在其它实施方式中,所述调制电路21也可通过对驱动芯片20中的供电电源或参考电源进行调制,来达到对触摸显示面板10的所有信号进行整体同步调制,而并非限制对设备地进行调制。例如,所述调制电路21的调制端M除了可连接或用作前述第一接地端201之外(在调制地时),还可连接或用作前述第一电源端206(在调制供电电源时)。当连接或用作所述第一电源端206时,所述调制电路21连接于第一电源端206与第二电源端207之间。所述第一电源端206相对于第一接地端201来说,也称为供电电源端,二者所加载的电压保持恒定。
另外,除了所述第一电源端206与所述第一接地端201之外,驱动芯片20通常包括参考电源端(图未示),当第一电源端206用于加载第一电源电压、第一接地端201用于加载第二电源电压时,所述参考电源端用于加载第三电源电压,所述第三电源电压的高低介于所述第一电源电压与第二电源电压的高低之间,其中,所述第一电源电压与第二电源电压的压差保持恒定,所述第一电源电压与第三电源电压的压差保持恒定。所述参考电源端也可用作或连接所述调制端。即,所述供电电源端、参考电源端、和第一接地端三者中之一者用作或连接所述调制端,对应地,用作或连接所述调制端的电源电压包括调制信号。
相应地,在第二时段W2,所述调制端M加载一恒定电压,所述驱动芯片20提供第二灰阶电压Vd2给像素电极103、提供第二公共电压Vc2给公共电极101,驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示;在第一时段W1,所述调制端M加载调制信号,所述驱动芯片20提供第一灰阶电压Vd1给像素电极103、提供第一公共电压Vc1给公共电极101,驱动所述触摸显示面板10执行图像显示的同时,进一步驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测。
请参阅图15,图15为所述显示处理电路205的一实施方式的结构示意图。所述显示处理电路205例如包括存储电路2051、解压缩电路2053、和色彩调整电路2055。所述存储电路2051、解压缩电路2053、色彩调整电路2055依次相连接。所述存储电路2051进 一步连接所述主控芯片3。所述色彩调整电路2055进一步通过电平转换单元264连接所述控制电路25。

需要说明的是,所述显示处理电路205并不限于包括在此所述的电路,也可以没有其中某些电路或进一步包括其它的电路。
另外,对于本申请各实施方式的触摸显示装置1以及电子设备100中也可减少或增加某些元件或组合电路等,对于本领域的一般技术人员而言,只要是通过公知常识、现有技术、并结合本申请的技术内容能够合理推导出的技术方案均应落入本申请的保护范围。
进一步地,由于所述调制电路21、显示处理电路205、触摸驱动电路23、显示驱动电路20a、控制电路25、以及电平转换单元264等电路都集成在单颗驱动芯片20中,而单颗芯片相较于多颗芯片节约空间,因此,所述触摸显示装置1占所述电子设备100的空间较小。另外,单颗芯片相较于多颗芯片更有利于触摸显示装置1的组装以及生产管理,提高生产效率,从而,降低所述电子设备100的制造成本。
以上各实施方式是以所述驱动芯片20驱动公共电极101执行自电容触摸感测为例进行说明,然,本申请并不局限于此,只要是基于相同或类似的想法对触摸显示装置进行改进,均应落在本申请的保护范围。
除上述介绍的复用公共电极做自电容触摸感测的各实施方式之外,本申请也可通过额外设置一层触摸感测电极来执行触摸感测,这些实施例也都是可行的。
虽然实施方式这里已经关于具体的配置和操作序列进行描述,但是应该理解,替代的实施方式可增加、省略或改变元件、操作等等。因此,这里公开的实施方式意味着是实施例而不是限制。
