The detection system of the capacitive active pen mainly includes the active pen 100 and the touch screen 200. The active pen 100 has a pen tip driving electrode. The electrode can emit a drive signal, and can also be called an excitation signal or a coding signal. The touch screen 200 is provided with row electrodes and column electrodes. A plurality of row electrodes and a plurality of column electrodes constitute electrode arrays in the Y direction and the X direction, respectively. When the tip driving electrode of the active pen 100 emits a driving signal, the coupling capacitance formed between the electrode and the row electrode of the touch screen and the coupling capacitance formed between the electrode and the column electrode of the touch screen will change, and the coupling capacitance is detected. , You can determine the coordinates of the active pen in the X direction and the Y direction, so as to finally determine the position of the active pen tip on the touch screen.
图2是主动笔100的笔尖结构的示意图。如图2所示,主动笔100包括 驱动电极110、隔离电极120、结构件130、驱动电极140、结构件150、笔尖外壳160和笔身外壳170。其中,驱动电极110的头部为锥形。驱动电极110的头部被笔尖外壳160包裹,笔尖外壳160是绝缘材料,例如硅胶或者塑料。隔离电极120设置于结构件130上,结构件130是绝缘材料,例如塑料。隔离电极120一般连接主动笔的电路参考地,其作用是隔离驱动电极110和驱动电极140。驱动电极140设置于结构件150上,结构件150是绝缘材料,例如塑料。驱动电极110、隔离电极120和驱动电极140被笔尖外壳160和笔身外壳170包裹。驱动电极110与驱动电极140组合在一起,可以用来检测主动笔的姿态。其中,驱动电极110可以向外发射驱动信号,从而基于图1所示的原理计算主动笔的笔尖位置坐标。驱动电极140也可以向外发射驱动信号,在主动笔100的笔身倾斜时,驱动电极140发射的驱动信号用于计算主动笔100的倾斜角度。触摸屏200可以根据该倾斜角度,向用户呈现与倾斜程度相匹配的笔迹形态,从而提升用户体验。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the tip structure of the active pen 100. As shown in FIG. 2, the active pen 100 includes a driving electrode 110, an isolation electrode 120, a structural member 130, a driving electrode 140, a structural member 150, a pen tip housing 160 and a pen body housing 170. Wherein, the head of the driving electrode 110 is tapered. The head of the driving electrode 110 is wrapped by a pen tip housing 160, which is made of an insulating material, such as silica gel or plastic. The isolation electrode 120 is disposed on the structural member 130, and the structural member 130 is made of an insulating material, such as plastic. The isolation electrode 120 is generally connected to the circuit reference ground of the active pen, and its function is to isolate the driving electrode 110 and the driving electrode 140. The driving electrode 140 is disposed on the structural member 150, and the structural member 150 is made of an insulating material, such as plastic. The driving electrode 110, the isolation electrode 120 and the driving electrode 140 are wrapped by the pen tip housing 160 and the pen body housing 170. The driving electrode 110 and the driving electrode 140 are combined together to detect the posture of the active pen. Wherein, the driving electrode 110 may emit a driving signal to the outside, so as to calculate the position coordinates of the pen tip of the active pen based on the principle shown in FIG. 1. The driving electrode 140 may also emit a driving signal to the outside. When the pen body of the active pen 100 is tilted, the driving signal emitted by the driving electrode 140 is used to calculate the tilt angle of the active pen 100. The touch screen 200 can present a handwriting shape matching the degree of inclination to the user according to the inclination angle, thereby enhancing the user experience.
但是,主动笔100倾斜时,可能会对主动笔100的笔尖位置坐标的计算造成影响。下面结合图3和图4进行说明。其中,图3和图4中均示出了三个相邻的接收通道,以下简称通道。通道S1、通道S3和通道S2例如可以是图1中触摸屏上相邻的三个行电极或者相邻的三个列电极。如图3所示,当主动笔100的笔身垂直于触摸屏200的盖板210的表面时,由于笔尖与盖板210的接触点位于通道S2的正上方,这时,驱动电极110与通道S1之间的耦合电容C1,就等于驱动电极110与通道S3之间的耦合电容C3。而驱动电极110与通道S2之间的耦合电容C2,大于耦合电容C1和耦合电容C3。这时,触摸屏200得到的笔尖坐标位于通道S2的正上方,与实际笔尖位置是一致的。However, when the active pen 100 is tilted, the calculation of the coordinates of the pen tip position of the active pen 100 may be affected. The description will be given below in conjunction with FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. Among them, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 both show three adjacent receiving channels, hereinafter referred to as channels. The channel S1, the channel S3, and the channel S2 may be three adjacent row electrodes or three adjacent column electrodes on the touch screen in FIG. 1, for example. As shown in FIG. 3, when the pen body of the active pen 100 is perpendicular to the surface of the cover plate 210 of the touch screen 200, since the contact point of the pen tip and the cover plate 210 is located directly above the channel S2, at this time, the driving electrode 110 and the channel S1 The coupling capacitance C1 therebetween is equal to the coupling capacitance C3 between the driving electrode 110 and the channel S3. The coupling capacitance C2 between the driving electrode 110 and the channel S2 is larger than the coupling capacitance C1 and the coupling capacitance C3. At this time, the pen tip coordinates obtained by the touch screen 200 are located directly above the channel S2, which is consistent with the actual pen tip position.
但是,当主动笔100的笔身倾斜时,如图4所示,驱动电极110更加偏向于通道S3一侧。因此,驱动电极110与通道S1之间的耦合电容C1’,会比图3中所示的笔身垂直时对应的耦合电容C1小,而驱动电极110与通道S3之间的耦合电容C3’,比图3中所示的笔身垂直时对应的耦合电容C3大。此时,根据耦合电容计算出来的笔尖坐标位置就会往右偏,即往通道S3的一侧偏,而实际笔尖位置位于通道S2的正上方,这就导致主动笔100倾斜时计算得到的笔尖坐标与实际笔尖位置不符,从而影响用户体验。However, when the pen body of the active pen 100 is tilted, as shown in FIG. 4, the driving electrode 110 is more biased toward the side of the channel S3. Therefore, the coupling capacitance C1' between the driving electrode 110 and the channel S1 will be smaller than the corresponding coupling capacitance C1 when the pen body is vertical as shown in FIG. 3, and the coupling capacitance C3' between the driving electrode 110 and the channel S3, It is larger than the corresponding coupling capacitor C3 when the pen body is vertical as shown in FIG. 3. At this time, the pen tip coordinate position calculated according to the coupling capacitor will be shifted to the right, that is, to one side of channel S3, and the actual pen tip position is directly above channel S2, which results in the tip calculated when the active pen 100 is tilted The coordinates do not match the actual pen tip position, which affects the user experience.
针对图4,对笔身倾斜时的检测到的耦合电容进行仿真,得到图5所示 的耦合电容的变化情况。其中,图5示出了主动笔100与盖板210之间呈不同角度时,驱动电极110分别与通道S1、通道S2和通道S3之间的耦合电容的变化情况。可以看出,当主动笔100的倾斜角度为90°时,即主动笔100垂直于盖板210时,通道S1的耦合电容C1和通道S3的耦合电容C3相等,而当主动笔100的倾斜角度分别为60°、45°和30°时,驱动电极110与通道S1之间的耦合电容C1逐渐减小,而驱动电极110与通道S3之间的耦合电容C3迅速增大。可见,笔身倾斜的越多,计算的笔尖坐标位置与笔尖实际位置相差越大。For Fig. 4, the coupling capacitance detected when the pen body is tilted is simulated, and the variation of the coupling capacitance shown in Fig. 5 is obtained. 5 shows the variation of the coupling capacitance between the driving electrode 110 and the channel S1, the channel S2, and the channel S3 when the active pen 100 and the cover 210 are at different angles. It can be seen that when the tilt angle of the active pen 100 is 90°, that is, when the active pen 100 is perpendicular to the cover 210, the coupling capacitance C1 of the channel S1 and the coupling capacitance C3 of the channel S3 are equal, and when the tilt angle of the active pen 100 At 60°, 45°, and 30°, the coupling capacitance C1 between the driving electrode 110 and the channel S1 gradually decreases, and the coupling capacitance C3 between the driving electrode 110 and the channel S3 increases rapidly. It can be seen that the more the pen body is tilted, the greater the difference between the calculated pen tip coordinate position and the actual pen tip position.
为此,本申请实施例对笔尖结构进行了改进和优化,提升了笔身倾斜时笔尖坐标检测的准确性。For this reason, the embodiment of the present application improves and optimizes the structure of the pen tip, and improves the accuracy of the pen tip coordinate detection when the pen body is tilted.
图6是本申请实施例的主动笔600的示意性结构图。如图6所示,主动笔600包括:FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an active pen 600 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 6, the active pen 600 includes:
笔身外壳670;以及, Pen body shell 670; and,
第一驱动电极610,包括设置于笔身外壳670的中部的连杆,以及设置于该连杆的笔尖一端的头部,笔身外壳670与该连杆之间设置有第一结构件630,其中,第一驱动电极610的头部呈半球形。The first driving electrode 610 includes a connecting rod arranged in the middle of the pen body housing 670 and a head arranged at one end of the nib of the connecting rod. A first structural member 630 is arranged between the pen body housing 670 and the connecting rod. Wherein, the head of the first driving electrode 610 has a hemispherical shape.
该实施例中,第一驱动电极610的头部的半径A大于或等于第一阈值,第一驱动电极610的连杆的笔尖一端的直径D小于或等于第二阈值,并且第二阈值小于或等于第一阈值。In this embodiment, the radius A of the head of the first driving electrode 610 is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the diameter D of the tip end of the connecting rod of the first driving electrode 610 is less than or equal to the second threshold, and the second threshold is less than or Equal to the first threshold.
由于将第一驱动电极610的头部由锥形改为半球形,大大降低了第一驱动电极610的头部的几何中心,使第一驱动电极610的头部尽可能地贴近触摸屏,所以在笔身倾斜时第一驱动电极610的头部的几何中心位置不会发生较大的移动,从而减小了笔身倾斜时笔尖坐标位置的偏移。Since the head of the first driving electrode 610 is changed from a cone to a hemispherical shape, the geometric center of the head of the first driving electrode 610 is greatly reduced, and the head of the first driving electrode 610 is as close to the touch screen as possible. When the pen body is tilted, the geometric center position of the head of the first driving electrode 610 does not move significantly, thereby reducing the offset of the pen tip coordinate position when the pen body is tilted.
第一驱动电极610的头部的半径A可以设置为大于或等于第一阈值,以保证第一驱动电极610发射的驱动信号有足够的强度。例如,该第一阈值大于或者等于0.3毫米。The radius A of the head of the first driving electrode 610 may be set to be greater than or equal to the first threshold to ensure that the driving signal emitted by the first driving electrode 610 has sufficient strength. For example, the first threshold is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm.
第一驱动电极610的头部位于连杆的靠近笔尖的一端,该连杆的笔尖一端的直径D小于或等于第二阈值,以降低金属连杆上辐射的信号对第一驱动电极610的头部发射的驱动信号造成影响。该第二阈值例如小于或等于3毫米,优选地,该第二阈值等于0.3毫米。这样,通过增强第一驱动电极610的头部发射的驱动信号的强度,以及减小连杆引入的干扰信号的强度,进一 步提高了笔尖坐标检测的准确性。The head of the first driving electrode 610 is located at the end of the connecting rod close to the tip of the pen, and the diameter D of the end of the tip of the connecting rod is less than or equal to the second threshold, so as to reduce the impact of the signal radiated on the metal connecting rod on the head of the first driving electrode 610. The driving signal emitted by the part causes the influence. The second threshold is, for example, less than or equal to 3 millimeters, and preferably, the second threshold is equal to 0.3 millimeters. In this way, by enhancing the intensity of the driving signal emitted by the head of the first driving electrode 610 and reducing the intensity of the interference signal introduced by the connecting rod, the accuracy of pen tip coordinate detection is further improved.
进一步地,第一驱动电极610的头部的半径A还可以设置为小于或等于第五阈值,该第五阈值例如可以小于或等于0.8毫米。优选地,第一驱动电极610的头部的半径A满足:0.3毫米≤A≤0.8毫米。Further, the radius A of the head of the first driving electrode 610 can also be set to be less than or equal to a fifth threshold, and the fifth threshold can be less than or equal to 0.8 mm, for example. Preferably, the radius A of the head of the first driving electrode 610 satisfies: 0.3 mm≦A≦0.8 mm.
这样,通过将主动笔的第一驱动电极610的头部的形状设置为半球形,并将其头部的半径及其连杆的直径设置在合理的范围内,能够有效地降低避免笔身倾斜对笔尖坐标检测的影响。In this way, by setting the shape of the head of the first driving electrode 610 of the active pen to a hemispherical shape, and setting the radius of the head and the diameter of the connecting rod within a reasonable range, the pen body can be effectively reduced and prevented from tilting. The impact on the pen tip coordinate detection.
应理解,上述的半球形,可以是指球形的一半,或者是球形的一多半,或者是球形的一少半,只要第一驱动电极610的头部包括一个球形中的至少部分区域即可。It should be understood that the above-mentioned hemispherical shape may refer to a half of a spherical shape, or more than half of a spherical shape, or a less than half of a spherical shape, as long as the head of the first driving electrode 610 includes at least a part of a spherical shape.
针对图4,在笔身倾斜时,对第一驱动电极610与触摸屏200的接收通道之间的耦合电容进行仿真,得到图7所示的耦合电容的变化情况。图7中示出了主动笔600与盖板210之间呈不同角度时,第一驱动电极610与通道S1、通道S2和通道S3之间的耦合电容的变化情况。可以看出,当主动笔600的倾斜角度为90°时,即主动笔600垂直于盖板210时,通道S1的耦合电容C1和通道S3的耦合电容C3相等,而当主动笔600的倾斜角度分别为60°、45°和30°时,第一驱动电极610与通道S1之间的耦合电容C1逐渐减小,而第一驱动电极610与通道S3之间的耦合电容C3逐渐增大。但是,将图7所示的主动笔600与图5所示的主动笔100的检测结构对比后可以发现,主动笔600的倾斜对耦合电容C1和耦合电容C3的影响,要明显小于主动笔100对耦合电容C1和耦合电容C3的影响。改进后得到的第一驱动电极610,使得其与通道S1、通道S2和通道S3之间的耦合电容的变化幅度明显减小,也就是说,笔身倾斜时,笔尖坐标不会发生较大的偏移。For FIG. 4, when the pen body is tilted, the coupling capacitance between the first driving electrode 610 and the receiving channel of the touch screen 200 is simulated, and the variation of the coupling capacitance shown in FIG. 7 is obtained. FIG. 7 shows the variation of the coupling capacitance between the first driving electrode 610 and the channel S1, the channel S2, and the channel S3 when the active pen 600 and the cover 210 are at different angles. It can be seen that when the tilt angle of the active pen 600 is 90°, that is, when the active pen 600 is perpendicular to the cover 210, the coupling capacitance C1 of the channel S1 and the coupling capacitance C3 of the channel S3 are equal, and when the tilt angle of the active pen 600 At 60°, 45° and 30°, the coupling capacitance C1 between the first driving electrode 610 and the channel S1 gradually decreases, and the coupling capacitance C3 between the first driving electrode 610 and the channel S3 gradually increases. However, comparing the detection structure of the active pen 600 shown in FIG. 7 with the detection structure of the active pen 100 shown in FIG. Impact on coupling capacitor C1 and coupling capacitor C3. The improved first driving electrode 610 makes the variation range of the coupling capacitance between it and channel S1, channel S2, and channel S3 significantly reduced, that is to say, when the pen body is tilted, the pen tip coordinates will not change significantly. Offset.
本申请实施例中,主动笔600还可包括笔尖外壳660。其中,第一驱动电极610的连杆可以延伸至笔尖外壳660,以使第一驱动电极610的头部容纳于笔尖外壳660内;或者,也可以不设置笔尖外壳660,第一驱动电极610的连杆延伸出笔身外壳670以使第一驱动电极610的头部裸露。In the embodiment of the present application, the active pen 600 may further include a pen tip housing 660. Wherein, the connecting rod of the first driving electrode 610 can be extended to the pen tip housing 660, so that the head of the first driving electrode 610 is contained in the pen tip housing 660; The connecting rod extends out of the pen body shell 670 so that the head of the first driving electrode 610 is exposed.
图6所示的主动笔600包括笔尖外壳660。该笔尖外壳660可以与笔身外壳670一体成型;也可以如图6所示的那样,将笔尖外壳660与笔身外壳670作为两个独立的部分,其中,笔尖外壳660可以安装在笔身外壳670上,并且可以灵活地从笔身外壳670上拆卸下来,方便第一驱动电极610的检修 和更换。The active pen 600 shown in FIG. 6 includes a pen tip housing 660. The nib shell 660 can be integrally formed with the pen body shell 670; or as shown in FIG. 6, the nib shell 660 and the pen body shell 670 can be used as two separate parts, wherein the nib shell 660 can be mounted on the pen body shell. 670, and can be flexibly removed from the pen body shell 670, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the first driving electrode 610.
当主动笔600中设置有笔尖外壳660时,笔尖外壳660在第一驱动电极610的头部处的厚度B小于或等于第三阈值。该第三阈值例如小于或等于3毫米,优选地,该第三阈值为0.3毫米。笔尖外壳660可能会阻挡第一驱动电极610发射的驱动信号,因此,限制笔尖外壳660的厚度可以减小其对第一驱动电极610发射的驱动信号所造成的阻挡,提高触摸屏200检测到的有效信号的强度,提升笔尖位置检测的准确性。When the pen tip housing 660 is provided in the active pen 600, the thickness B of the pen tip housing 660 at the head of the first driving electrode 610 is less than or equal to the third threshold. The third threshold is, for example, less than or equal to 3 millimeters, and preferably, the third threshold is 0.3 millimeters. The pen tip housing 660 may block the driving signal emitted by the first driving electrode 610. Therefore, limiting the thickness of the pen tip housing 660 can reduce the blocking of the driving signal emitted by the first driving electrode 610, and improve the detection efficiency of the touch screen 200. The strength of the signal improves the accuracy of pen tip position detection.
第一结构件630起支撑和固定等作用。可选地,第一结构件630可以延伸至笔尖外壳660内,例如图6所示。但本申请实施例对此不作限定,也可以使第一结构件630仅包覆在笔身外壳670内。The first structural member 630 plays a supporting and fixing role. Optionally, the first structural member 630 may extend into the pen tip housing 660, for example, as shown in FIG. 6. However, the embodiment of the present application does not limit this, and the first structural member 630 may be only wrapped in the pen body shell 670.
可选地,如图6所示,笔身外壳670与第一结构件630之间还可以设置有第二结构件650。第二结构件650起支撑和固定等作用。其中,第一结构件630上靠近笔尖的部分不与第二结构件650重叠。也就是说,第一结构件630在靠近笔尖的一端会伸出第二结构件650,从而不被第二结构件650覆盖。而第一结构件630上靠近笔尖的这部分可以用于设置驱动电极或者隔离电极。Optionally, as shown in FIG. 6, a second structural member 650 may also be provided between the pen body housing 670 and the first structural member 630. The second structural member 650 plays a supporting and fixing role. Wherein, the part of the first structural member 630 close to the pen tip does not overlap with the second structural member 650. In other words, the first structural member 630 protrudes from the second structural member 650 at an end close to the pen tip, so as not to be covered by the second structural member 650. The portion of the first structural member 630 close to the pen tip can be used to provide driving electrodes or isolation electrodes.
可选地,如图6所示,主动笔600还包括第二驱动电极640和隔离电极620。第一驱动电极610向触摸屏输出的驱动信号用于计算笔尖在触摸屏200上的位置坐标。而第二驱动电极向触摸屏输出的驱动信号用于计算主动笔600相对于触摸屏的倾斜角度。隔离电极620可以用来隔离第一驱动电极610和第二驱动电极640之间的信号干扰。此外,本申请实施例中的隔离电极620还可以隔离第一驱动电极610的连杆上辐射出来的一部分信号。Optionally, as shown in FIG. 6, the active pen 600 further includes a second driving electrode 640 and an isolation electrode 620. The driving signal output by the first driving electrode 610 to the touch screen is used to calculate the position coordinates of the pen tip on the touch screen 200. The driving signal output by the second driving electrode to the touch screen is used to calculate the tilt angle of the active pen 600 relative to the touch screen. The isolation electrode 620 may be used to isolate signal interference between the first driving electrode 610 and the second driving electrode 640. In addition, the isolation electrode 620 in the embodiment of the present application can also isolate a part of the signal radiated from the connecting rod of the first driving electrode 610.
第二驱动电极640可以设置于第二结构件650上。隔离电极620可设置于第一结构件630上靠近笔尖的部分。其中,隔离电极620与第一驱动电极610的头部之间的距离C小于或等于第四阈值。通过减小隔离电极620与第一驱动电极610的头部之间的距离C,以加强干扰信号的隔离效果,尽可能地降低其他电极或线路对第一驱动电极610的头部发射出来的驱动信号所造成的影响。该第四阈值例如小于或等于10毫米,优选地,该第四阈值等于2毫米。The second driving electrode 640 may be disposed on the second structure 650. The isolation electrode 620 may be disposed on the part of the first structural member 630 close to the tip of the pen. Wherein, the distance C between the isolation electrode 620 and the head of the first driving electrode 610 is less than or equal to the fourth threshold. By reducing the distance C between the isolation electrode 620 and the head of the first driving electrode 610, the interference signal isolation effect is enhanced, and the driving of other electrodes or lines to the head of the first driving electrode 610 is reduced as much as possible. The influence caused by the signal. The fourth threshold is, for example, less than or equal to 10 millimeters, and preferably, the fourth threshold is equal to 2 millimeters.
图6所示的主动笔600仅为示例,本申请实施例中的主动笔600还可以具有变形后的其他结构。The active pen 600 shown in FIG. 6 is only an example, and the active pen 600 in the embodiment of the present application may also have other structures after deformation.
例如图8所示,主动笔600也可以不设置笔尖外壳660,以避免笔尖外壳660对第一驱动电极610的头部发射的驱动信号造成阻挡。这时,相比于图6,前述部件620至部件650均容纳于笔身外壳670中,仅有第一驱动电极610的头部及部分连杆裸露于空气中。For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the active pen 600 may not be provided with a pen tip housing 660 to prevent the pen tip housing 660 from blocking the driving signal emitted by the head of the first driving electrode 610. At this time, compared to FIG. 6, the aforementioned components 620 to 650 are all contained in the pen body housing 670, and only the head of the first driving electrode 610 and part of the connecting rod are exposed in the air.
本申请实施例中,第二驱动电极640和隔离电极620也可以设置在其他位置,并且,主动笔中可以不包括第二驱动电极640或者不包括隔离电极620。In the embodiment of the present application, the second driving electrode 640 and the isolation electrode 620 may also be arranged in other positions, and the active pen may not include the second driving electrode 640 or the isolation electrode 620.
例如图9所示,主动笔600包括第二驱动电极640和隔离电极620,但是图9中所示的第二驱动电极640和隔离电极620的位置,与图6中的第二驱动电极640和隔离电极620的位置是不同的。在图9中,隔离电极620设置于第二结构件650上,而第二驱动电极640设置于第一结构件630上靠近笔尖的部分。这时,隔离电极620可以用来隔离主动笔中的电路板对第一驱动电极610和第二驱动电极640造成的信号干扰。第二驱动电极640与第一驱动电极610的头部之间的距离小于上述第四阈值,使得主动笔倾斜时第二驱动电极640不至于距离触摸屏太远,以保证触摸屏检测到的来自第二驱动电极640的有效信号的强度。For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the active pen 600 includes the second driving electrode 640 and the isolation electrode 620, but the positions of the second driving electrode 640 and the isolation electrode 620 shown in FIG. The location of the isolation electrode 620 is different. In FIG. 9, the isolation electrode 620 is disposed on the second structure 650, and the second driving electrode 640 is disposed on the first structure 630 near the tip of the pen. At this time, the isolation electrode 620 can be used to isolate the signal interference caused by the circuit board in the active pen to the first driving electrode 610 and the second driving electrode 640. The distance between the second driving electrode 640 and the head of the first driving electrode 610 is less than the fourth threshold, so that when the active pen is tilted, the second driving electrode 640 will not be too far away from the touch screen, so as to ensure that the touch screen detects the second The strength of the effective signal of the driving electrode 640.
又例如,可以将图9中所示的隔离电极620去掉,形成图10所示的主动笔600。其中,图10中的主动笔600不包括隔离电极620。第二驱动电极640设置于第一结构件630上靠近笔尖的部分。由于不设置隔离电极620,因此在满足检测精度的情况下,可以降低主动笔600的成本。For another example, the isolation electrode 620 shown in FIG. 9 can be removed to form the active pen 600 shown in FIG. 10. Wherein, the active pen 600 in FIG. 10 does not include the isolation electrode 620. The second driving electrode 640 is disposed on the part of the first structure 630 close to the pen tip. Since the isolation electrode 620 is not provided, the cost of the active pen 600 can be reduced if the detection accuracy is satisfied.
又例,可以将图9中所示的第二驱动电极640替换为隔离电极620,形成图11所示的主动笔600。其中,主动笔600不包括第二驱动电极640。隔离电极620设置于第一结构件630上靠近笔尖的部分。此时,主动笔600不具有根据倾斜角度调整笔迹形态等功能,但是进一步降低了主动笔600的成本。并且该隔离电极620可以用来隔离主动笔600中的电路板对第一驱动电极610造成的信号干扰,提高笔尖位置检测的准确性。In another example, the second driving electrode 640 shown in FIG. 9 can be replaced with an isolation electrode 620 to form the active pen 600 shown in FIG. 11. Among them, the active pen 600 does not include the second driving electrode 640. The isolation electrode 620 is disposed on the part of the first structural member 630 close to the tip of the pen. At this time, the active pen 600 does not have functions such as adjusting the shape of the handwriting according to the tilt angle, but the cost of the active pen 600 is further reduced. In addition, the isolation electrode 620 can be used to isolate the signal interference caused by the circuit board in the active pen 600 to the first driving electrode 610, thereby improving the accuracy of the pen tip position detection.
