Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201610458414.8, entitled “Touch display screen and electronic apparatus using the same”, filed on Jun. 22, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure is related to a touch apparatus, in particular to a touch display screen and an electronic apparatus.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Integrating force sensors can be applied in more potential uses at portable electronic devices (for example: smart phones, intelligent players, e-books, PDA, phablets and etc.) as touch display screens continue to develop; in addition, more potential controlling functions can be further achieved by activating applications, moving a screen cursor and etc. All actions can be controlled and achieved with voltage changes caused by little gestures.

Touch display screens can be divided into piezoresistive type, piezoelectric type, and capacitive type according to the principle; wherein the technology of capacitive type is more mature and the application of the capacitive type is the broadest. According to positions sensing electrodes are different in the touch display screen of capacitive type, the technology of capacitive type can further be divided into traditional force touch technology and new embedded force touch technology; except sensing electrodes, other sensed electrodes are needed in both traditional force touch technology and new embedded force touch technology.

As shown in FIG. 1, force sensing capacitances of the touch display screens are realized by a middle frame 101 of a mobile phone and a back plate 1021 of a backlight module 102; wherein a space 103 existed between the middle frame 101 and the back plate 1021 of the backlight module 102 is usually larger, so that accumulated tolerance of a cover plate, optical glue, frame glue, the liquid panel the backlight module and other portions has smaller affect. However, a space in a capacitor structure of the new force touch technology has even smaller affect and has even higher precision requirement to the space. If the middle frame 101 or the back plate 1021 of the backlight module 1021 is taken as one electrode of the capacitor structure, the accumulated tolerance of the aforementioned portions has a larger affect to the space, and then the traditional space structure cannot match the requirements of the force touch, therefore, the force touch function cannot be achieved to be mass-produced.
