Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to a touch device. Background Technology

[0002] Active capacitive styluses are currently one of the mainstream touch tools. However, due to communication protocols, active capacitive styluses require specific signal frequencies, making them susceptible to display noise and unsuitable for use with high-resolution display panels. Generally, electromagnetic styluses require an electromagnetic sensing board. This board uses low-resistance metal to create the induction coil or signal transmission coil, so it is currently primarily surface-mount. This surface-mount design, placed behind the display panel, increases the overall module thickness. Therefore, integrating capacitive and electromagnetic touch functionality into the display panel to reduce overall module thickness while achieving good capacitive and electromagnetic touch performance remains a significant challenge for developers.
