The number of sensing lines is an integer greater than or equal to 2. FIG. 5 is an embodiment of a scanning sequence according to the scanning method of FIG. 4 . In this embodiment, the number of sensing lines to be measured is set to 2, and the sensing lines X1 and X2 in the X-direction sensing lines are set as initial measurement channels. Referring to FIG. 5 , when the first scan is performed, a driving signal DP is output to other sensing lines other than the sensing lines X1 and X2 . During the first scan, the voltage on the sensing line X1 can be selected by the
接着,在进行第二次扫描时,初始量测通道向右位移形成新的量测通道,亦即感测线X3和X4。因此,该驱动信号产生电路36输出该驱动信号DP至感测线X3和X4外的其他感测线。在进行第二次扫描时,位于该感测线X3上的电压可通过该第一多路选择器4222选取以传送至该差动检测模块424的该第一输入端R。同时,位于该感测线X4上的电压可通过该第二多路选择器4226选取以传送至该差动检测模块424的该第二输入端S。该差动检测模块424根据两输入端的电压值产生该触控感测信号sout。Then, when the second scan is performed, the initial measurement channel is shifted to the right to form a new measurement channel, that is, the sensing lines X3 and X4 . Therefore, the driving
类似地,在其他扫描顺序中,量测通道依序向右位移。量测通道之外的感测线则被输入该驱动信号DP。通过交互电容的耦合效应,该驱动信号DP会耦合至量测通道上的节点。若使用者触碰这些节点,交互电容的电容值将产生变化而导致电压的改变。通过检测所述电压的变化,可得知该触控面板32被触碰的位置。在本实施例中,每次设定的量测通道之前一状态均为驱动状态,故每次扫描时,量测通道的节点的起始电压值会相同,且其稳态电压值可真实反应交互电容的电容值的变化。Similarly, in other scan sequences, the measurement channels are sequentially shifted to the right. The sensing lines other than the measurement channel are input with the driving signal DP. Through the coupling effect of the mutual capacitance, the driving signal DP will be coupled to the nodes on the measurement channel. If the user touches these nodes, the capacitance value of the interaction capacitor will change, resulting in a voltage change. By detecting the change of the voltage, the touched position of the
图6系本发明另一实施例的扫描方法的流程图,该扫描方法应用于上述触控输入装置。该方法包含以下步骤:选择欲量测的感测线数目(步骤S60);根据该感测线数目选择所述X方向感测线中的多条第一感测线作为量测通道(步骤S62);在进行第一次扫描时,输出一驱动信号至所述Y方向感测线并浮接(float)所述X方向感测线上的其他感测线(步骤S64);在进行第一次扫描时,检测位于该量测通道上的两个第一电压(步骤S66);在进行第二次扫描时,浮接所述第一感测线(步骤S68);及在进行第二次扫描时,根据该欲量测的感测线数目检测位于位移后的量测通道上的两个第二电压(步骤S70)。此处「浮接」用语指未施加任何电压至对应的感测线。亦即,该感测线为一高阻抗状态。以下配合图3的装置和图7的扫描顺序描述本发明的扫描方法的细节。FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a scanning method according to another embodiment of the present invention, the scanning method is applied to the above-mentioned touch input device. The method includes the following steps: selecting the number of sensing lines to be measured (step S60); selecting a plurality of first sensing lines in the X-direction sensing lines as measurement channels according to the number of sensing lines (step S62 ); when performing the first scan, output a driving signal to the Y direction sensing line and float other sensing lines on the X direction sensing line (step S64); During the second scan, detect two first voltages on the measurement channel (step S66); during the second scan, float the first sensing line (step S68); and during the second scan, During scanning, two second voltages on the shifted measurement channels are detected according to the number of sensing lines to be measured (step S70 ). The term "floating" here means that no voltage is applied to the corresponding sensing line. That is, the sensing line is in a high impedance state. The details of the scanning method of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the device in FIG. 3 and the scanning sequence in FIG. 7 .
于步骤S60中,首先选择欲量测的感测线数目。该感测线数目为大于或等于2的整数。图7是根据图6的扫描方法的一扫描顺序实施例。在该实施例中所欲量测的感测线数目设定为2,且所述X方向感测线中的感测线X1和X2被设定为初始量测通道。参照图7,在进行第一次扫描时,一驱动信号DP输出至所述Y方向感测线Y1-Y10且浮接所述X方向感测线上的其他感测线。在进行第一次扫描时,位于该感测线X1上的电压可通过该第一多路选择器4222选取以传送至该差动检测模块424的一第一输入端R。同时,位于该感测线X2上的电压可通过该第二多路选择器4224选取以传送至该差动检测模块424的一第二输入端S。该差动检测模块424可检测由该第一和第二多路选择器4222和4224所选取的两电压值的差异,用以产生一触控感测信号sout。In step S60, the number of sensing lines to be measured is firstly selected. The number of sensing lines is an integer greater than or equal to 2. FIG. 7 is an embodiment of a scanning sequence according to the scanning method of FIG. 6 . In this embodiment, the number of sensing lines to be measured is set to 2, and the sensing lines X1 and X2 in the X-direction sensing lines are set as initial measurement channels. Referring to FIG. 7 , during the first scan, a driving signal DP is output to the Y-direction sensing lines Y1 - Y10 and floats other sensing lines on the X-direction sensing lines. During the first scan, the voltage on the sensing line X1 can be selected by the
接着,在进行第二次扫描时,初始量测通道向右位移形成新的量测通道,亦即感测线X3和X4。因此,该驱动信号产生电路36输出该驱动信号DP至所述Y方向感测线Y1-Y10,且感测线X3和X4外的其他感测线为浮接状态。在进行第二次扫描时,位于该感测线X3上的电压可通过该第一多路选择器4222选取以传送至该差动检测模块424的该第一输入端R。同时,位于该感测线X4上的电压可通过该第二多路选择器4224选取以传送至该差动检测模块424的该第二输入端S。该差动检测模块424根据两输入端的电压值产生该触控感测信号sout。Then, when the second scan is performed, the initial measurement channel is shifted to the right to form a new measurement channel, that is, the sensing lines X3 and X4 . Therefore, the driving
类似地,在其他扫描顺序中,量测通道依序向右位移。量测通道的外的感测线则被输入该驱动信号DP或保持一浮接状态。通过交互电容的耦合效应,该驱动信号会耦合至量测通道上的节点。若使用者触碰这些节点,交互电容的电容值将产生变化而导致电压的改变。通过检测所述电压的变化,可得知该触控面板32被触碰的位置。在本实施例中,每次设定的量测通道的前一状态均为浮接状态,故每次扫描时,量测通道的节点的起始电压值会相同,且其稳态电压值可真实反应交互电容的电容值的变化。Similarly, in other scan sequences, the measurement channels are sequentially shifted to the right. The sensing lines outside the measurement channel are input with the driving signal DP or kept in a floating state. Through the coupling effect of mutual capacitance, the driving signal will be coupled to the nodes on the measurement channel. If the user touches these nodes, the capacitance value of the interaction capacitor will change, resulting in a voltage change. By detecting the change of the voltage, the touched position of the
参照图5和图7,设定为初始量测通道的多条感测线其排列方式为彼此相邻。然而,根据本发明另一实施例,设定为初始量测通道的多条感测线其排列方式可为间隔排列,如图8和图9所示。参照图8,感测线X2位于设定为初始量测通道的感测线X1和X3之间。在驱动面板进行第一次扫描时,感测线X2和X4为驱动状态。接着,在驱动面板进行第二次扫描时,感测线X2和X4被设定为量测通道。由于其先前状态相同(均为驱动状态),故量测通道上的起始电压值会相同,且其稳态电压值可真实反应交互电容的电容值的变化。类似地,图9中的驱动面板在进行第一次扫描时,感测线X2和X4为浮接状态。接着,在进行第二次扫描时,感测线X2和X4被设定为量测通道。由于其先前状态相同(均为浮接状态),故量测通道上的起始电压值会相同。Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 , the plurality of sensing lines set as initial measurement channels are arranged adjacent to each other. However, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the arrangement of the plurality of sensing lines set as initial measurement channels may be arranged at intervals, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 . Referring to FIG. 8 , the sensing line X2 is located between the sensing lines X1 and X3 set as the initial measurement channel. When the driving panel performs the first scan, the sensing lines X2 and X4 are in the driving state. Then, when the driving panel is scanned for the second time, the sensing lines X2 and X4 are set as measurement channels. Since the previous states are the same (both are driving states), the initial voltage values on the measurement channels will be the same, and the steady-state voltage values can truly reflect the change of the capacitance value of the interaction capacitance. Similarly, when the driving panel in FIG. 9 performs the first scan, the sensing lines X2 and X4 are in a floating state. Then, during the second scan, the sensing lines X2 and X4 are set as measurement channels. Since their previous states are the same (both floating), the initial voltage values on the measurement channels will be the same.
图10是根据图4的扫描方法的另一扫描顺序实施例。在该实施例中所欲量测的感测线数目设定为3,且所述X方向感测线中的感测线X1、X2和X3被设定为初始量测通道。图10中的驱动面板在进行第一次扫描时,感测线X4、X5和X6为驱动状态。接着,在进行第二次扫描时,感测线X4、X5和X6被设定为量测通道。由于其先前状态相同(均为驱动状态),故量测通道上的起始电压值会相同。FIG. 10 is another scanning sequence embodiment according to the scanning method of FIG. 4 . In this embodiment, the number of sensing lines to be measured is set to 3, and the sensing lines X1 , X2 and X3 in the X-direction sensing lines are set as initial measurement channels. When the driving panel in FIG. 10 is scanning for the first time, the sensing lines X4, X5 and X6 are in the driving state. Then, during the second scan, the sensing lines X4 , X5 and X6 are set as measurement channels. Since their previous states are the same (both are driving states), the initial voltage values on the measurement channels will be the same.
类似地,图11是根据图4的扫描方法的又一扫描顺序实施例。在本扫描顺序实施例中所欲量测的感测线数目设定为4,而所述X方向感测线中的感测线X1、X2、X3和X4被设定为初始量测通道。图11中的驱动面板在进行第一次扫描时,感测线X5、X6、X7和X8为驱动状态。接着,在进行第二次扫描时,感测线X5、X6、X7和X8被设定为量测通道。由于其先前状态相同(均为驱动状态),故量测通道上的起始电压值会相同。根据本发明再一实施例,图11中的驱动面板在进行第一次扫描时,感测线X5、X6、X7和X8可为浮接状态。Similarly, FIG. 11 is another scanning sequence embodiment according to the scanning method in FIG. 4 . In this scanning sequence embodiment, the number of sensing lines to be measured is set to 4, and the sensing lines X1 , X2 , X3 and X4 in the X-direction sensing lines are set as initial measurement channels. When the driving panel in FIG. 11 is scanning for the first time, the sensing lines X5, X6, X7 and X8 are in the driving state. Then, during the second scan, the sensing lines X5 , X6 , X7 and X8 are set as measurement channels. Since their previous states are the same (both are driving states), the initial voltage values on the measurement channels will be the same. According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, when the driving panel in FIG. 11 performs the first scan, the sensing lines X5 , X6 , X7 and X8 may be in a floating state.
根据本发明的扫描方法的触控面板其X方向感测线数目或Y方向感测线数目的最小值会与所欲量测的感测线数目有关。在一较佳实施例中,X方向感测线数目或Y方向感测线数目的最小值是根据下列方程式(1)而决定:The minimum value of the number of sensing lines in the X direction or the number of sensing lines in the Y direction of the touch panel according to the scanning method of the present invention is related to the number of sensing lines to be measured. In a preferred embodiment, the minimum value of the number of sensing lines in the X direction or the number of sensing lines in the Y direction is determined according to the following equation (1):
Num=4×NSET-2 (1)Num=4×N SET -2 (1)
其中,Num表示X方向感测线数目或Y方向感测线数目的最小值,而NSET表示初始量测通道的设定数目。举例而言,如图10所示,当所欲量测的感测线数目设定为3时,则触控面板其X方向感测线数目或Y方向感测线数目至少需4×3-2=10条,方能完整检测该触控面板X方向感测线或Y方向感测线的所有节点。在另一实施例中,如图11所示,当所欲量测的感测线数目设定为4时,则触控面板其X方向感测线数目或Y方向感测线数目至少需4×4-2=14条,方能完整检测该触控面板X方向感测线或Y方向感测线的所有节点。Wherein, Num represents the minimum value of the number of sensing lines in the X direction or the number of sensing lines in the Y direction, and N SET represents the set number of initial measurement channels. For example, as shown in Figure 10, when the number of sensing lines to be measured is set to 3, the number of sensing lines in the X direction or the number of sensing lines in the Y direction of the touch panel needs to be at least 4×3-2 = 10, all the nodes of the X-direction sensing line or Y-direction sensing line of the touch panel can be completely detected. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11 , when the number of sensing lines to be measured is set to 4, the number of sensing lines in the X direction or the number of sensing lines in the Y direction of the touch panel needs to be at least 4× 4-2=14, all nodes of the X-direction sensing line or Y-direction sensing line of the touch panel can be completely detected.
