Problems solved by technology

If the manufacturer is unwilling to sacrifice the sensing resolution of the touch screen, the touch signal processing circuit 230 with a higher number of channels and more expensive has to be used, resulting in an increase in cost
In addition, because each sensing unit 270 needs to be coupled to the touch signal processing circuit 230 through the touch signal reading line 280, as the distribution density of the sensing units 270 increases, the peripheral wiring of the touch panel 220 also needs to be connected to the touch signal processing circuit 230. will increase accordingly, resulting in the width of the frame (not shown) of the touch panel 220 must also increase
[0007] Although this active touch sensing device can perform multi-touch sensing, since the sensing unit 270 of this structure is composed of thin film transistors, the aperture ratio of the pixel is reduced. ratio) leading to a decrease in the light transmittance of the pixel
In addition, because the sensing unit 270 of this structure is coupled to the gate line 250 and must operate with the scanning speed of the gate line 250, the touch response time of this touch screen is relatively slow.

[0079] It can be seen from the teaching of the first embodiment that if only image 3 The conductor 310 and the wires 330 - 336 of the touch sensing device shown, or only the conductor 320 and the wires 338 - 348 can be used to sense the touch position. If only the one-dimensional coordinate sensing of the touch position is implemented, it is only necessary to measure two resistance values ​​from the two ends of the conductor, and calculate the one-dimensional coordinate of the touch position accordingly; however, if the touch position is to be implemented For the sensing of the two-dimensional coordinates of the touch position, it is necessary to cooperate with the above formulas (1)-(2) or formulas (3)-(4) to further calculate the coordinates of another dimension.

Abstract

The invention provides a touch sensing device of a touch panel and a touch sensing method thereof. The touch sensing device includes a plurality of parallel first wires and first conductors. One end of each first wire is electrically coupled to the first conductor to divide the first conductor into a plurality of first line segments, and the resistance of each first wire is smaller than the resistance of each first line segment. Wherein, when the display area of ​​the touch panel is subjected to an external force, the first wire corresponding to the position pointed by the external force can be electrically coupled to a reference potential. The touch sensing device of the present invention has the ability to sense multi-point touch. Since the touch sensing device of the present invention does not use any transistor to form a sensing unit, the aperture ratio of the pixel will not be reduced, and the touch sensing device The reaction time is also faster.
