DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0031] The capacitive touch screen comprises oppositely arranged drive electrode layer and sensing electrode layer, the drive electrode layer comprises drive channels arranged in sequence and spaced from each other, the sensing electrode layer comprises sensing channels arranged in sequence and spaced from each other, the extension direction of the drive channels is perpendicular to the extension direction of the sensing channels, and the intersection of the drive channels and the sensing channels will form a coupling capacitor; when a finger or other conductor touches the screen body, the coupling of the touch position drive channel and the sensing channel will be affected, thereby affecting the coupling capacitor of the touch position, and the coordinate of the touch position can be obtained by detecting the change of the mutual capacitance value.

[0032] Generally, the drive channel has a plurality of drive electrode blocks and drive connection sections connecting adjacent drive electrode blocks, and the sense channel has a plurality of sense electrode blocks and sense connection sections connecting adjacent sense electrode blocks; the orthographic projection of the drive electrode block on the sense electrode layer is located in the area surrounded by the plurality of sense electrode blocks, and the orthographic projection of the drive connection section on the sense electrode layer intersects with the sense connection section; the orthographic projection of the sense electrode block on the drive electrode layer is located in the area surrounded by the plurality of sense electrode blocks, and the orthographic projection of the sense connection section on the drive electrode layer intersects with the drive connection section; the shape of the drive electrode block is the same as that of the sense electrode block, and any edge of the drive electrode block is parallel to an edge of the sense electrode block. The distance between the sense electrode block and the plurality of drive electrode blocks surrounding the sense electrode block in the orthographic projection of the sense electrode layer on the drive electrode layer is defined as a gap value, and the ratio of the mutual capacitance change value after touch to the mutual capacitance value before touch is defined as a mutual capacitance change ratio (ΔC / C0) value. Generally, the gap values in the capacitive touch screen are consistent.

[0033] However, due to the impedance of the material of the drive channel itself, the drive channel causes loss to the input signal strength, so that the signal strength at the position farther from the drive input end is lower, thereby causing the signal strength emitted to the outside by different positions of the drive channel to have obvious differences, and further causing the received sensing amount of different positions of the sense electrode layer to be different. In the calculation process of the touch position coordinates, additional algorithm is needed to stretch the overall sensing amount consistency, which increases the complexity of the algorithm for calculating the touch position coordinates and reduces the calculation efficiency.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment provides a design method of a capacitive touch screen, comprising the following steps:

[0035] S1, determining the structure of the capacitive touch screen and the drive mode, wherein the structure of the capacitive touch screen comprises the material, thickness and lamination mode of each functional layer, and the number of sense channels;

[0036] S2, simulating the capacitive touch screen determined in step S1 to obtain a relationship formula one between the mutual capacitance change ratio (ΔC / C0) and the gap value (gap);

[0037] S3, determining the maximum mutual capacitance change ratio and the corresponding gap value (gap) according to the relationship formula one obtained in step S2;

[0038] S4, based on the fact that the gap values in the capacitive touch screen are equal, simulating the capacitive touch screen determined in step S1 to obtain the relationship between the initial sensing amount and the sense channel number, wherein the sense channel number is obtained by sequentially labeling the sense channels along the extension direction of the drive channel;

[0039] S5, obtaining the inductive channel number with the minimum initial inductive quantity and the corresponding initial inductive quantity according to the driving mode;

[0040] S6, defining the product of the maximum mutual capacity change ratio obtained in step S3 and the minimum initial inductive quantity obtained in step S5 as the signal quantity, i.e. the signal quantity is a certain value, and limiting the product of the initial inductive quantity and the mutual capacity change ratio (ΔC / C0) corresponding to any inductive channel number to be equal to the signal quantity, thereby obtaining a second relationship between the gap value (gap) and the inductive channel number;

[0041] S7, calculating the gap value (gap) of different inductive channel numbers according to the second relationship obtained in step S6.

[0042] The design method of the capacitive touch screen utilizes the characteristic that the mutual capacity change ratio (ΔC / C0) changes with the change of the gap value (gap), corrects the initial inductive quantity by using the mutual capacity change ratio (ΔC / C0), makes the signal quantity changed by the touch object at different positions of the inductive channel to be a constant by regulating the gap value (gap) of different inductive channel numbers, the constant being the product of the maximum mutual capacity change ratio and the minimum initial inductive quantity, thereby making the inductive quantity at different positions of the inductive channel consistent, reducing the complexity of the algorithm and improving the calculation efficiency without additional stretching of the consistency of the overall inductive quantity in the calculation process of the touch position coordinates; meanwhile, the difficulty of calculating the touch position coordinates is reduced, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the calculation result of the touch position coordinates.

[0043] In step S1, each functional layer includes an inductive electrode layer, a driving electrode layer, an adhesive layer and a substrate layer; after the material of each functional layer is determined, the relative dielectric constant and the conductivity of each functional layer are determined accordingly; the lamination mode refers to the lamination order of the above-mentioned functional layers.

[0044] In step S2, when simulating the capacitive touch screen, first, a 3D model of the capacitive touch screen is established in a simulation tool; then, the simulation tool is used to simulate the touch surface with and without copper pillars at different gap values (gap), the touch surface is provided with copper pillars to simulate touch operation, and the touch surface is not provided with copper pillars to simulate the non-touch condition, the initial capacitance (C0) between the driving channel (Tx) and the sensing channel (Rx) under the non-touch condition and the touch capacitance (C) between the driving channel (Tx) and the sensing channel (Rx) under the touch condition are calculated respectively, and the mutual capacitance change ratio (ΔC / C0) at different gap values (gap) is calculated according to the simulation results, ΔC is the difference between the initial capacitance (C0) and the touch capacitance (C), and ΔC refers to the mutual capacitance change amount; then, a relationship between the mutual capacitance change ratio (ΔC / C0) and the gap value (gap) is obtained according to the mutual capacitance change ratio (ΔC / C0) at different gap values (gap).

[0045] The simulation tool used in steps S2 and S4 includes but is not limited to finite elements.

[0046] In step S5, the driving mode is single-side driving, the driving input end is located at one end of the driving channel, and the number of the sensing channel with the minimum initial sensing amount is the number of the sensing channel farthest from the driving input end; or the driving mode is double-side driving, the driving input end is located at both ends of the driving channel, and the number of the sensing channel with the minimum initial sensing amount is one half of the number of the sensing channels.

[0047] In step S7, the gap value (gap) of different sensing channel numbers can be calculated by substituting the different sensing channel numbers into the relationship formula two obtained in step S6; and the size of the sensing electrode block in each sensing channel and / or the size of the driving electrode block in each driving channel is adjusted according to the calculated gap value (gap).

[0048] Specifically, the gap value (gap) of the sensing channel with the minimum initial sensing amount determined in step S5 is the gap value (gap) with the maximum mutual capacitance change ratio determined in step S3, and the gap value (gap) gradually increases from the driving input end to the sensing channel with the minimum initial sensing amount.

[0049] In the embodiment, the driving electrode block and the sensing electrode block are both rhombic; or the driving electrode block and the sensing electrode block are both right-angled triangular.

[0050] Referring to Figures 2-3The driving electrode block 111 and the sensing electrode block 211 are both in the shape of a rhombus; a driving connecting segment 112 connects the corners of adjacent driving electrode blocks 111, and the driving channel 11 is in the same extension direction as the driving connecting segment 112; a sensing connecting segment 212 connects the corners of adjacent sensing electrode blocks 211, and the sensing channel 21 is in the same extension direction as the sensing connecting segment 212; the orthographic projection of the driving electrode block 111 on the sensing electrode layer is located in the area surrounded by four sensing electrode blocks 211, and the orthographic projection of the sensing electrode block 211 on the driving electrode layer is located in the area surrounded by four driving electrode blocks 111. The gap corresponding to each sensing channel 21 refers to four groups of gaps located on both sides of the sensing channel 21. Specifically, on the basis of the same distance (pitch X) between the central axes of adjacent sensing channels 21, the size of the sensing electrode block 211 and / or the size of the driving electrode block gradually decreases from the driving input end to the sensing channel 21 with the minimum initial sensing amount. It should be understood that Figure 2 The trend of the change of the gap is shown when driving from both sides, Figure 3 is Figure 2 A local enlarged view of the middle square area.

[0051] Referring to Figure 4 The driving electrode block 111' and the sensing electrode block 211' are both in the shape of a right-angled triangle; a driving connecting segment 112' connects the corner of a driving electrode block 111' and the right-angled side of the driving electrode block 111' adjacent to the driving electrode block 111', and the driving channel 11' is in the same extension direction as the driving connecting segment 112'; the driving channel 11' has a straight edge; a sensing connecting segment 212' connects the corner of a sensing electrode block 211' and the right-angled side of the sensing electrode block 211' adjacent to the sensing electrode block 211', and the sensing channel 21' is in the same extension direction as the sensing connecting segment 212'; the sensing channel 21' has a straight edge; the orthographic projection of the driving electrode block 111' on the sensing electrode layer is located in the area surrounded by three sensing electrode blocks 211', and the orthographic projection of the sensing electrode block 211' on the driving electrode layer is located in the area surrounded by three driving electrode blocks 111'; the gap corresponding to each sensing channel 21' refers to three groups of gaps located on both sides of the sensing channel 21'. Specifically, the distance between the straight edges of adjacent sensing channels 21' is the same, and the size of the sensing electrode block 211' and / or the size of the driving electrode block gradually decreases from the driving input end to the sensing channel 21' with the minimum initial sensing amount.

[0052] The embodiment also provides a capacitive touch screen designed by the design method of the capacitive touch screen.

[0053] A specific example is provided below to illustrate the design method of the capacitive touch screen provided by the embodiment.

[0054] The capacitive touch screen adopts GFF structure, see Figure 5 The capacitive touch screen includes a display screen 3, a first adhesive layer 4, a first substrate layer 5, a sensing electrode layer 2, a second adhesive layer 6, a second substrate layer 7, a driving electrode layer 1, a third adhesive layer 8, and a top substrate 9 (cover plate) stacked in sequence from bottom to top. The sensing electrode layer 2 is processed and prepared on the first substrate layer 5, and the driving electrode layer 1 is processed and prepared on the second substrate layer 7. The first adhesive layer 4 is used to bond the display screen 3 and the first substrate layer 5, the second adhesive layer 6 is used to bond the sensing electrode layer 2 and the second substrate layer 7, and the third adhesive layer 8 is used to bond the driving electrode layer 1 to the top substrate 9. The surface of the top substrate 9 facing away from the display screen 3 serves as the user's touch surface. The top substrate 9 is made of 3mm thick glass. The first adhesive layer 4, the second adhesive layer 6, and the third adhesive layer 8 are all made of OCR glue. The thickness of the first adhesive layer is 1mm, and the thickness of the second and third adhesive layers are both 125µm. There are 176 sensing channels, and the sensing electrode blocks and driving electrode blocks are both diamond-shaped. The driving mode is bilateral drive.

[0055] Finite element simulation of the capacitive touch screen above yields the following relationship between the mutual capacitance change ratio (ΔC / C0) and the gap value (gap): y = -0.0362x 4 + 0.1166x 3 - 0.1206x 2 + 0.0853x + 0.1255; where y refers to ΔC / C0; x refers to the gap value, in mm;

[0056] According to the above formula, when the gap value (x) is 1.6 mm, the maximum ΔC / C0 (y max ), y max is 0.19359728;

[0057] The sensing channels are numbered in sequence along the extension direction of the driving channel to obtain sensing channel numbers. The number of the sensing channel with the smallest initial sensing amount is 88.

[0058] Finite element simulation of the capacitive touch screen reveals the relationship between the initial sensing value and the sensing channel number (sensing channel 1 to sensing channel 88): Y = -77.48ln(X) + 3362.1. Here, Y represents the initial sensing value, and X represents the sensing channel number.

[0059] The initial induction value of the 88th induction channel is calculated to be Y min = -77.48ln(88) + 3362.1=3015.196;

[0060] Semaphore A=Y(X)×y(x)=Y min ×y max =3015.196×0.19359728= 583.73374426688, thus obtaining the relationship between the sensing channel number (X) and the gap value (gap);

[0061] Substituting the sensing channel numbers (1-87) into the above formula, we can get the gap value (gap) corresponding to sensing channel No. 1 to sensing channel No. 87. Sensing channel No. 89 to sensing channel No. 176 are set symmetrically with sensing channel No. 1 to sensing channel No. 87. The gap value corresponding to sensing channel No. 1 to sensing channel No. 87 is shown in Table 1:
