BACKGROUND ART


FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional capacitive touch sensing device.


Referring to FIG. 1, a capacitive touch sensing device 100 includes a touch screen panel 110 and a driving signal detection means 120. The touch screen panel 110 includes a plurality of driving electrodes 111a to 111n that is extended in a row direction and are connected to a plurality of driving channels 112a to 112n, and a plurality of reception electrodes 113a to 113n that is extended in a column direction and are connected to a plurality of sensing channels 114a to 114n. The driving signal detection means 120 detects a driving signal (not illustrated) that is transferred to the reception electrodes 113a to 113n via the driving electrodes 111a to 111n and the touch screen panel 110.


In nodes in which the plurality of driving electrodes 111a to 111n and the plurality of reception electrodes 113a to 113n cross each other, coupling capacitors (not illustrated) are formed. Capacitance of the coupling capacitor is changed when a user makes contact with the touch screen panel 110. Since a driving signal (not illustrated) with the same amplitude and the same frequency is applied to the plurality of driving electrodes 111a to 111n, when there is no contact, the driving signal applied to the driving electrodes 111a to 111n is received in the plurality of reception electrodes 113a to 113n with the same amplitude.


However, when a user makes contact with a some parts and capacitance of a coupling capacitor at the corresponding parts is changed, the amplitude of a driving signal received in a reception electrode including the corresponding parts is different from that of a driving signal received in a reception electrode not including the corresponding parts. The driving signal detection means 120 receives a driving signal, which is applied through the driving electrodes 111a to 111n, through the reception electrodes 113a to 113n via a corresponding coupling capacitor, detects a change included in the received signal, and determines whether there is a touch of a user.


The amplitude and frequency of a driving signal (not illustrated) is decided when the capacitive touch sensing device is manufactured, but the driving signal is received in reception electrodes with changed amplitudes or various frequency components due to the influence of noise through a parasitic capacitor (not illustrated) and a parasitic resistor of the touch screen panel 110. In order to exactly determine a touch of a user, it is necessary to distinguish a noise from a driving signal included in a signal received in the driving signal detection means 120, and to process the signal.

The pre-stage 210 includes a first sheet resistor Rp1 having one terminal to which the driving signal Vin is applied, and a first sheet capacitor Cp1 having one terminal connected to the other terminal of the first sheet resistor Rp1 and the other terminal grounded. The first sheet resistor Rp1 is a resistor component passed by the driving signal Vin input to the driving electrode 201 and reaching a coupling capacitor Cc, and is decided by the material of the driving electrode 201. The first sheet capacitor Cp1 is a capacitive load component passed by the driving signal Vin input to the driving electrode 201 and reaching the coupling capacitor Cc, and is decided by the dielectric constant and thickness of the touch screen panel positioned between the driving electrode 201 and the reception electrode 202.


Unless mentioned otherwise, the structural and physical characteristics of the sheet resistor and the sheet capacitor described in the pre-stage 210 are applied to a sheet resistor and a sheet capacitor as is to be described below.


The differentiator 220 differentiates an output signal of the pre-stage 210 to generate a first output signal Vout1, and includes the coupling capacitor Cc, a second sheet resistor Rp2, a second sheet capacitor Cp2, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a first amplifier 221.


The coupling capacitor Cc is a capacitor that is generated in a node in which the driving electrode 201 and the reception electrode 202 crosses each other, and has one terminal connected to an output terminal of the pre-stage 210, that is, a common terminal of the first sheet resistor Rp1 and the first sheet capacitor Cp1. The second sheet resistor Rp2 has one terminal connected to the other terminal of the coupling capacitor Cc and the other terminal connected to the reception electrode 202. The second sheet capacitor Cp2 has one terminal connected to the reception electrode 202 and the other terminal grounded. The first resistor R1 has one terminal connected to the reception electrode 202 and the other terminal connected to one input terminal (−) of the first amplifier 221. The second resistor R2 has one terminal connected to the other input terminal (+) of the first amplifier 221 and the other terminal connected to an output terminal of the first amplifier 221.


The integrator 230 integrates the first output signal Vout1 output from the differentiator 220 to generate a final output signal Vout, and includes a signal transfer switch SW1, a reset switch SW2, a third resistor R3, a feedback capacitor Cf, and a second amplifier 231.


The signal transfer switch SW1 switches the first output signal Vout1, which is output from the differentiator 220, to one terminal of the third resistor R3. The other terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to one input terminal (−) of the second amplifier 231. The feedback capacitor Cf has one terminal connected to the one input terminal (−) of the second amplifier 231, and the other terminal connected to an output terminal of the second amplifier 231 that outputs the final output signal Vout. The reset switch SW2 resets charge charged in the feedback capacitor Cf.


In the above, the electrical connection structure of the circuit constituting the touch sensing circuit 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention and the function of processing the received driving signal Vin have been described on a time basis.

The above description for the circuit illustrated in FIG. 2 relates to the entire of the touch sensing circuit, and may be classified as follows. A part from a reference numeral 201 to a reference numeral 202 is an equivalent model for the display panel 110, and a part from the reference numeral 202 to Vout is a circuit included in the driving signal detection means 120. The driving signal detection means 120 is prepared in the form of an integrated circuit.

When the driving signal detection means 120 to be prepared in the form of the integrated circuit, except for the coupling capacitor Cc included in the display panel 110, will be limitedly described, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the first amplifier 221 become a gain circuit. In this case, gain is a ratio of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2.

The frequency characteristics of the pre-stage 210 having a low pass filter characteristic, the differentiator 220 having a high pass filter characteristic, and the integrator 230 having a low pass filter characteristic are sequentially reflected in the right parenthesis of a sign of equality of Equation 5.


A resistance value of the first sheet resistor Rp1 is decided by the material of a driving electrode, and capacitance of the first sheet capacitor Cp1 is decided by a distance between the touch screen panel 110 and the ground GND, wherein the resistance value and the capacitance are significantly small. Referring to Equation 1 and Equation 5, since the resistance value of the first sheet resistor Rp1 and the capacitance of the first sheet capacitor Cp1 are significantly small, the first cut-off frequency (1) is significantly high and is relatively higher than the first cut-off frequency (3) in an actual case. Therefore, in the following description, the characteristic of the low pass filter of the pre-stage 210, which is expressed by the right first parenthesis of a sign of equality of Equation 5, will be omitted.

Referring to Equation 7, the resistance value of the second sheet resistor Rp2 is relatively lower than those of the other three resistors R1, R2, and R3 and is decided by the material of the reception electrode, and the capacitance of the coupling capacitor Cc is also decided by the material of the touch screen panel. However, the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3, and the feedback capacitor Cf may be arbitrarily adjusted by a designer.


Equation 5 expresses the transfer function in the frequency domain of the touch sensing circuit 200 according to the present invention, and Equation 7 expresses the transfer function in the time domain. Referring to Equation 5 and Equation 7, the frequency characteristic and the gain in the pass band of the driving signal Vin, which can pass through the touch sensing circuit 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention, can be obtained by adjusting the resistance values of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the third resistor R3, and the capacitance of the feedback capacitor Cf.


In order to allow the frequency characteristic of the touch sensing circuit illustrated in FIG. 2 to have a characteristic of a band pass filter, the resistance values of the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the third resistor R3, and the capacitance of the feedback capacitor Cf are adjusted such that the second cut-off frequency (2) is lower than the first cut-off frequency (1) and the third cut-off frequency (3). That is, among frequency components included in the driving signal Vin, a frequency component higher than the second cut-off frequency (2) and lower than the first cut-off frequency (1) and the third cut-off frequency (3) passes through the touch sensing circuit 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention, but the other frequency components are blocked.



FIG. 6 illustrates a touch sensing system according to the embodiment of the present invention.


Referring to FIG. 6, a touch sensing system 600 includes a driving signal generation block 610, a touch sensing unit 620, a switching block 650, and an analog to digital converter 660.


The driving signal generation block 610 supplies the driving signal Vin to each driving channel.


The touch sensing unit 620 includes a plurality of touch sensing circuits 621, 625, and 629 configured according to a plurality of reception electrodes N1. The plurality of touch sensing circuits 621, 625, and 629 include differentiators 622, 626, and 630, which differentiate the driving signal Vin, and integrators 624, 628, and 632 that integrate output signals of the differentiators 622, 626, and 630, respectively. Each of the differentiators 622, 626, and 630 has a characteristic of a high pass filter that allows only a high frequency component to pass therethrough, and the integrators 624, 628, and 632 has a characteristic of a low pass filter that allows only a low frequency component of a signal output from the high pass filter to pass therethrough.


The differentiators 622, 626, and 630 are included in a touch screen panel and have a structure in which coupling capacitors CC1, CC2, and CC3 formed between a plurality of driving electrodes N1, N3, and N5 and a plurality of reception electrodes N2, N4, and N6 are serially connected to amplification circuits 623, 627, and 631, respectively. Each of the amplification circuits 623, 627, and 631 includes the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2, and the first amplifier 221 illustrated in FIG. 4. Since an internal circuit of each of the integrators 624, 628, and 632 is the same as the integrator 230 illustrated in FIG. 5, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.


The switching block 650 includes a plurality of switches S1, S2, and S3 that switch signals that are output from the integrators 624, 628, and 632 constituting the plurality of touch sensing circuits 621, 625, and 629, respectively. The analog to digital converter 660 converts signals selected from the switching block 650 into digital signals and outputs the digital signals.


In the conventional case, since the driving signal Vin is amplified as is and received, it is necessary to additionally perform a filtering operation in a digital domain with respect to an output signal of an analog to digital converter in order to select only the driving signal Vin except for noise of received signals. However, in the case of the touch sensing circuit and the touch sensing system according to the embodiment of the present invention, since it is possible to selectively receive the driving signal Vin, a system can be simply realized because a filter necessary for the conventional art is not used.


Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and the spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
