Touch control nixie tube

Abstract

The invention discloses a touch control nixie tube. A touch electrode is arranged in a nixie tube shell, and a touch sensing area is formed between the touch electrode and the nixie tube shell. In this way, when a user touches the portion, corresponding to the touch sensing area, of the nixie tube shell, a touch signal of the user can be sensed, so that an LED light-emitting unit on the nixie tube is controlled, or other corresponding functions are achieved. The touch control function is integrated in the nixie tube, interactive control over the nixie tube can be achieved through the shell without additionally arranging buttons, and therefore the appearance integration degree is high; in addition, the touch control nixie tube is quite convenient to use and low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of digital tubes, in particular to a touch-sensitive digital tube. Background technique [0002] Nixie tube, due to its low cost, convenient use and mature development and research, is still popular in the market even when LCD screens are popularized. Nixie tubes are often seen in many daily life appliances and electronic circuits. Existing Nixie tubes only have the functions of simple lighting and field display control. The user's interactive control of the nixie tubes still stays in the way of button control, such as controlling the opening / closing of the nixie tubes and switching function displays through buttons. It is inconvenient and needs to reserve key positions, which will have a negative impact on the compact panel and appearance. [0003] At present, touch LCD screens are also used to realize human-computer touch interaction functions, but not only the cost is high, expensive touch chips are required for c...

[0002] Nixie tube, due to its low cost, convenient use and mature development and research, is still popular in the market even when LCD screens are popularized. Nixie tubes are often seen in many daily life appliances and electronic circuits. Existing Nixie tubes only have the functions of simple lighting and field display control. The user's interactive control of the nixie tubes still stays in the way of button control, such as controlling the opening / closing of the nixie tubes and switching function displays through buttons. It is inconvenient and needs to reserve key positions, which will have a negative impact on the compact panel and appearance

[0003] At present, touch LCD screens are also used to realize human-computer touch interaction functions, but not only the cost is high, expensive touch chips are required for control, but also the development is difficult, and a large number of complex program developments are often required when used, which is not conducive to production application
