具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施方式中的附图,对本申请实施方式中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施方式仅仅是本申请一部分实施方式,而不是全部的实施方式。基于本申请中的实施方式,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施方式,都属于本申请保护的范围。
请参阅图1,为本申请实施例提供的触控装置100的结构示意图。在本实施例中,所述触控装置100可应用于智能手机、平板电脑、电子书阅读器等具有触摸显示功能的电子产品中。
如图1所示,所述触控装置100可包括触控面板21、触摸驱动集成电路(以下简称为“触摸驱动IC”)22、显示面板31和显示驱动集成电路(以下简称为“显示驱动IC”)32。其中,所述触控面板21设置于所述显示面板31上,所述触控面板21用于感测用户触摸,并获得感测到用户触摸的区域的坐标信息,所述显示面板31用于显示文字或图像。
如图2所示,所述触控面板21包括设置于行方向上的多条驱动线路Tx(也可称为“发送线”)以及设置于列方向上的多条感测线路Rx(也可称为“接收线”或“感应线”)。所述触控面板21可通过所述驱动线路Tx接收驱动信号,并通过所述感测线路Rx发送触摸信号。
所述触摸驱动IC22分别与所述多条驱动线路Tx和所述多条感测线路Rx电连接,所述触摸驱动IC22通过所述多条驱动线路Tx给所述触控面板21发送驱动信号,并通过所述感测线路Rx接收触摸信号,以及基于所述感测线路Rx接收到的触摸信号确定在所述触控面板21上是否发生用户触摸事件。
在本实施例中,所述触控面板21可为各种感测类型,例如自电容、互电容、电磁感应或电阻式等的触控面板。为了易于描述,以下将基于互电容类型的触控面板来描述本发明构思的实施例。此外,为了更好地理解本申请的发明构思,以下将结合图2来对所述触控面板21和所述触摸驱动IC22的触摸感测操作先做简单的介绍。
如图2所示,所述触控面板21包括沿行方向延伸的4条驱动线路Tx1~Tx4和沿列方向延伸的4条感测线路Rx1~Rx4。可以理解的是,在本申请中,所述触控面板21不限于图2中示出的构造,并且还包括更多条驱动线路以及更多条感测线路。此外,为了易于描述,所述驱动线路Tx1~Tx4和所述感测线路Rx1~Rx4在图2中均以直线示出,但在实际应用中并不限于此。
所述触摸驱动IC22可给所述驱动线路Tx1~Tx4输入驱动信号TS,并通过所述感测线路Rx1~Rx4接收触摸信号。例如图2所示,所述触摸驱动IC22可通过第二驱动线路Tx2向所述触控面板21提供驱动信号TS,提供到所述第二驱动线路Tx2的驱动信号TS可通过耦合于所述第二驱动线路Tx2和第二感测线路Rx2之间的互电容器Cm返回到所述触摸驱动IC22。若用户触摸所述第二驱动线路Tx2和所述第二感测线路Rx2交叉处的区域,则位于被触摸的区域的所述互电容器Cm的电容由于用户触摸而改变。通过第二感测线路Rx2接收到的触摸信号随着互电 容器Cm的电容的改变而改变,因此,所述触摸驱动IC22可以感测到触摸信号改变,即,感测到用户触摸。
为了易于描述,所述驱动线路Tx1~Tx4和所述感测线路Rx1~Rx4在图2中示出为彼此交叉。可以理解的是,在实际应用中,所述驱动线路Tx1~Tx4和所述感测线路Rx1~Rx4可设置为彼此分隔开一定距离。例如图3所示,为所述显示面板31与所述触控面板21的侧面示意图。多条所述驱动线路Tx配置于所述触控面板21的下表面,多条所述感测线路Rx配置于所述触控面板21的上表面。可以理解的是,所述驱动线路Tx1~Tx4和所述感测线路Rx1~Rx4的设置可不限于图2、3中示出的构造,所述驱动线路Tx1~Tx4和所述感测线路Rx1~Rx4也可以以其他方式设置。
请再次参阅图1,所述显示面板31可包括多个像素,所述像素可与栅极线GL和数据线DL连接。每个像素可响应于来自所述栅极线GL中的对应的一条栅极线的信号以及来自数据线DL中的对应的一条数据线的信号来显示图像。其中,所述显示面板31可为有机发光显示面板、液晶显示面板、等离子体显示面板、电泳显示面板和电润湿显示面板等的其中一种。
所述显示驱动IC32可通过所述栅极线GL以及所述数据线DL与所述显示面板31电连接,并可响应于来自外部装置(例如,时序控制器)的控制信号(例如,垂直同步信号和水平同步信号)来控制所述栅极线GL和所述数据线DL的电压。
当所述显示驱动IC32将信号提供到与所述显示面板31连接的数据线DL或栅极线GL,或者操作所述显示面板31时,所述显示面板31上可能会产生噪声。可以理解的是,所述噪声可以是由所述显示面板31的各种电子组件产生,或者可以是所述各种电子组件传输的噪声信号。其中,所述噪声信号可为不规则的电压信号。
由于所述触控面板21设置于所述显示面板31上,因此,在所述触控面板21和所述显示面板31之间会存在一个或多个寄生电容器,产生于所述显示面板31上的噪声信号会通过所述一个或多个寄生电容器被传输到所述触控面板21。传输到所述触控面板21的噪声信号会造成所述触控面板21和所述触摸驱动IC22的触摸感测操作的可靠性的降低,例如,由于所述触控面板21上耦合有噪声信号,导致所述触摸驱动IC22无法精确地检测用户触摸。
在本实施例中,由于所述触控面板21上可能耦合有噪声信号,使得通过所述感测线路Rx接收的触摸信号还可能叠加了噪声信号,因此,本申请中将所述感测线路Rx接收到的信号称为“感测信号”。
为了更好地理解本申请的发明构思,以下将结合图4来对所述显示面板31上的噪声信号的传输先做简单的介绍。应说明的是,为了简化说明,图4中省略了描述所述噪声信号所不必要的组件。
如图4所示,所述触控面板21和所述显示面板31可设置为彼此分隔开第一高度h1。所述触摸驱动IC22通过第一驱动线路Tx1提供给所述触控面板21的驱动信号TS可沿第一路径P1提供到所述第一感测线路Rx1,并通过所述第一感测线路Rx1返回到所述触摸驱动IC22中。
在所述显示面板31上产生有噪声信号Vn的情况下,所述噪声信号Vn会通过存在于所述触控面板21和所述显示面板31之间的寄生电容器Cr耦合到所述触控面板21,并被传输到所述触摸驱动IC22。
例如,第一感测线路Rx1由于设置在所述触控面板21上而与所述显示面板31彼此分隔开第一高度h1。因此,所述寄生电容器Cr会存在于所述第一感测线路Rx1和所述显示面板31之间,并成为产生于所述显示面板31的噪声信号Vn的传输路径,即,第二路径P2。如此,所述显示面板31中产生的噪声信号Vn可沿所述第二路径P2传递到所述触摸驱动IC22,从而使所述 触摸驱动IC22通过所述第一感测线路Rx1接收到的触摸信号TS中叠加了所述噪声信号Vn,导致所述触摸驱动IC22根据接收到的感测信号可能无法执行精确的触摸感测操作,从而降低触摸感测操作的可靠性。
为了提高触摸感测操作的可靠性,以下将对本申请如何消除所述感测信号中的噪声信号进行详细介绍。
在第一实施例中,所述触摸驱动IC22用于在一个扫描周期内给同一条驱动线路Tx分别输入幅值相等、相位相反的两个驱动信号。
例如,在一个扫描周期内,所述触摸驱动IC22给同一条所述驱动线路Tx分别输入两个驱动信号,其中一个驱动信号为交流信号TS,另一个驱动信号为交流信号-TS。
在所述第一实施例中,所述触摸驱动IC22用于在一个扫描周期内给同一条驱动线路连续输入幅值相等、相位相反的两个驱动信号。
在所述第一实施例中,所述触摸驱动IC22还通过所述感测线路Rx接收感测信号。其中,各条所述感测线路Rx所接收到的所述感测信号包括触摸信号和原始噪声信号,且通过同一条所述感测线路Rx所接收到的所述两个感测信号中包含的两个触摸信号的相位相反。
对于某条感测线路Rxn来说,结合图2、4可知,所述触摸信号通过传输所述驱动信号的驱动线路Txm、设置在所述驱动线路Txm与所述感测线路Rxn之间的互电容器来传输到所述感测线路Rxn上,最终传输到所述触摸驱动IC22中。所述原始噪声信号直接从所述触控面板21传递到所述感测线路Rxn上,并通过所述感测线路Rxn传递到所述触摸驱动IC22中。
如图5所示,若所述触摸驱动IC22给所述触控面板21提供驱动信号TS,当手指触摸所述触控面板21时,所述触控面板21与手指之间形成电流回路,且电流沿第一方向D1传输。如图6所示,若所述触摸驱动IC22再次给所述触控面板21提供驱动信号-TS,当手指触摸所述触控面板21时,电流沿第二方向D2传输,其中,所述第二方向D2与所述第一方向D1为相反的两个方向。可见,由于两个驱动信号TS与-TS的相位相反,所以流经手指的电流信号也是反向的。因此,如图7所示,当所述触摸驱动IC22给同一条驱动线路Tx分别输入两个驱动信号,且其中一个驱动信号为交流信号TS,另一个驱动信号为交流信号-TS时,各条所述感测线路Rx也接收到两个感测信号,且接收到的两个感测信号中的触摸信号分别为TS和-TS,即,两个触摸信号的相位相反。
所述触摸驱动IC22还用于对各条感测线路Rx接收到的对应于同一条驱动线路上传输的两个驱动信号的两个感测信号进行第一信号处理,以去除或减弱各条所述感测线路Rx所接收到的感测信号中包含的原始噪声信号。其中,在所述第一实施例中,所述第一信号处理为将各条所述感测线路接收到的所述两个感测信号相减。
如图7所示,由于同一条感测线路Rx接收到的两个触摸信号的相位相反,因此,将两个触摸信号相减不会使两者相互抵消,而是获得两倍的触摸信号。
如图8所示,当所述感测信号中包含有噪声信号Vn时,对于同一条感测线路Rx来说,第一次感测到的感测信号包括触摸信号TS和噪声信号Vn,第二次感测到的感测信号包括触摸信号-TS和噪声信号Vn。由于两次感测到的噪声信号Vn的相位相同,将接收到的两个感测信号相减时,两个感测信号中的噪声信号Vn会相互抵消,并获得两倍的触摸信号。
在一种实施例中,所述触摸驱动IC22可包括第一信号处理模块(图未示),所述第一信号处理模块用于对各条所述感测线路Rx接收到的所述两个感测信号进行所述第一信号处理。其中,所述第一信号处理模块的功能可采用一减法器来实现。

在图9中,由“虚短”概念可知,所述反向加法运算器A1的两个输入端的电压U-、U+相等,即:
U-=U+=0                                           (1)
由“虚断”概念及基尔霍夫定律可知,通过电阻R1的电流等于通过电阻R2的电流,故有:
((-2TS)-U-)/R1=(U--Uo1)/R2                          (2)
其中,Uo1为所述反向加法运算器A1的输出端输出的电压。
在所述第一实施例中,所述电阻R1、R2的阻值的关系为:R1=2R2,结合上面的两个公式(1)和(2)可知,所述反向加法运算器A1的输出端输出的电压Uo1为:Uo1=TS,即,所述反向加法运算器A1输出的信号等于所述感测线路Rx接收到的单个触摸信号TS。
