DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0053] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by technicians in the field to which this application belongs.
[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a touch panel, comprising:
[0055] A substrate 1, at least one light-emitting element 2 and a driving element 3, wherein at least one light-emitting element 2 is arranged on the first surface of the substrate 1, and at least one light-emitting element 2 is electrically connected to the substrate 1; the driving element 3 is arranged on the second surface of the substrate 1; and the driving element 3 is used to drive the substrate 1 to vibrate.
[0056] The touch panel of Example 1 of the present application can be applied to electronic devices such as smart phones, tablet computers, smart watches, industrial control interfaces, etc.
[0057] As the basic frame of the touch panel, the substrate 1 not only provides a platform for installing and fixing the light emitting element 2 and the driving element 3, but also ensures that the current can be smoothly transmitted to the light emitting element 2. The substrate 1 can be a printed circuit board or a flexible circuit board. In order to reduce production costs, the substrate 1 is preferably a printed circuit board.
[0058] The light-emitting element 2 is used to provide visual feedback to the user. The pins of the light-emitting element 2 can be connected to the first surface of the substrate 1 by welding or plugging to achieve a mechanical and electrical dual connection between the light-emitting element 2 and the substrate 1. The light-emitting element 2 can be one or more. In order to provide the user with a richer visual feedback effect, the present application preferably uses multiple light-emitting elements 2. The multiple light-emitting elements 2 can be arranged in a matrix, a linear arrangement, or other shapes.
[0059] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, multiple light-emitting elements 2 can work together to form an indicator icon. A predefined indicator icon library can be stored in the system of the electronic device used for the touch panel. These indicator icons can include a series of visual feedback modes. Each indicator icon is used to quickly respond to a specific event (such as an incoming call, a text message reminder, low battery, an alarm, etc.). The system can be electrically connected to the substrate 1. When the event is triggered, the system controls the light-emitting element 2 through the substrate 1 to achieve the presentation of the indicator icon. For example, the system controls the brightness level of multiple light-emitting elements 2 to form an indicator icon, and / or the system controls the flashing frequency of multiple light-emitting elements 2 to form an indicator icon; and / or the system controls the light color of multiple light-emitting elements 2 to form an indicator icon.
[0060] The light emitting element 2 may be a Mini LED (Mini Light Emitting Diode) or a Micro LED (Micro Light Emitting Diode).
[0061] The driver 3 is used to provide vibration feedback to the customer. The driver 3 can be physically connected to the second surface of the substrate 1 by bonding or clamping. The driver 3 can be electrically connected to the substrate 1 through wires, solder joints, etc. to achieve electrical connection. When an event is triggered, the system can regulate the vibration of the driver 3 through the substrate 1; or, the driver 3 can be electrically connected to the system through wires, cables, etc., and the power management module in the system provides the required voltage and current for the driver 3. When an event is triggered, the system can directly regulate the vibration of the driver 3. The vibration direction of the driver 3 can be perpendicular to the substrate 1, so that the vibration sensation can be transmitted to the user's fingers through the substrate to provide clear tactile feedback; or, the vibration direction of the driver 3 can also be adjusted according to actual needs. The driver 3 can use a linear vibration motor or a rotary vibration motor, etc.
[0062] There can be a certain time difference between at least one light-emitting element 2 and the driving element 3 when they start working. For example, the driving element 3 can start working after at least one light-emitting element 2 lights up for a period of time; or, the driving element 3 can vibrate for a period of time before at least one light-emitting element 2 lights up. There can be a certain time difference between at least one light-emitting element 2 and the driving element 3 when they end working. For example, the driving element 3 can stop vibrating after at least one light-emitting element 2 turns off for a period of time; or, the driving element 3 can stop vibrating for a period of time before at least one light-emitting element 2 turns off.
[0063] The touch panel provided by the present application provides intuitive visual feedback to the user by disposing at least one light-emitting element 2 on the first surface of the substrate 1, and at least one light-emitting element 2 electrically connected to the substrate 1 provides the user with intuitive visual feedback, and uses the driving element 3 disposed on the second surface of the substrate 1 to provide vibration feedback to the user. That is, the touch panel of the present application combines the dual feedback mechanism of visual feedback and tactile feedback, breaks through the single feedback limitation of the traditional touch technology, enhances the realism and perceptibility of the operation, and significantly enhances the user's interactive experience.
[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, it may also include:
[0065] The control module 4 may be electrically connected to the substrate 1 ; the control module 4 may control the at least one light emitting element 2 and the driving element 3 to work synchronously based on target instructions.
[0066] The control module 4 can be integrated into the system of the electronic device (for example, on the motherboard of the electronic device, etc.), and is electrically connected to the substrate 1 through a medium such as a wire or a flat cable to ensure the effective transmission of the control signal. When a specific event is triggered, the system responds to generate a target instruction, the control module 4 receives the target instruction from the system, and then converts the target instruction into a specific control signal and sends it to at least one light-emitting element 2 and a driver 3. At least one light-emitting element 2 and a driver 3 adjust their own working state according to the received control signal, and work together to complete the predetermined feedback task. By adding the control module 4, the control accuracy of the light-emitting element 2 and the driver 3 is improved, and the synchronized visual and tactile feedback provides users with a consistent interactive experience, while also enhancing the accuracy of information transmission.
[0067] The control module 4 may be a MCU (Microcontroller Unit) or a SoC (System on Chip).
[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the control module 4 can be disposed on the substrate 1 .
[0069] The control module 4 can be integrated on the substrate 1. By shortening the physical distance between the control module 4 and the controlled components (light-emitting element 2, driving element 3), the signal transmission path can be reduced and the delay can be reduced, so that the system can respond quickly to user operations and achieve instant feedback.
[0070] In some embodiments, it may also include:
[0071] A touch switch (not shown in the figure) can be arranged on the substrate 1. The touch switch is electrically connected to the substrate 1 and the control module 4 respectively. The touch switch is used to control the control module 4 to be turned on or off.
[0072] The touch switch can be arranged on the substrate 1, for example, at the edge of the first surface of the substrate 1, or at the middle or other position of the first surface of the substrate 1 according to design requirements, wherein the touch switch is preferably arranged at the edge of the first surface of the substrate 1 for user operation. The pin of the touch switch can be electrically connected to the substrate 1 by welding, or can be electrically connected to the pin of the control module 4 by a wire.
[0073] The touch switch can be a touch-sensitive switch, such as a capacitive touch switch or a resistive touch switch. In this case, the touch switch can be fully integrated into the touchpad. The user only needs to approach or touch the specified area of the touchpad to activate the touch switch without actually pressing it, which improves the user experience while ensuring the integrity and service life of the touchpad. Alternatively, the touch switch can be a physical press switch, such as a membrane switch or a micro switch. The touchpad is equipped with an operation hole to expose the touch switch, and the user can press the touch switch to operate it.
[0074] Through the touch switch setting, users can choose to use the dual feedback mechanism or turn off the dual feedback mechanism, thereby meeting the personalized needs of users in different usage scenarios and different usage preferences, and enhancing the flexibility and user experience of the touchpad. Taking the application of the touchpad to a computer as an example, when the user is in a working state (such as video conferencing or reading documents, which require high concentration), the dual feedback mechanism of the touchpad can be turned off to avoid interfering with concentration and keep the working environment quiet; when the user is in a noisy environment (such as public places or traffic journeys with high background noise), the dual feedback mechanism of the touchpad can be turned on to improve the clarity of the user's operation.
[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, it may also include:
[0076] The support component 5 may be connected to the second surface of the substrate 1 . The support component 5 has a through hole 521 . The driving member 3 may be located in the through hole 521 . The driving member 3 may be spaced apart from the inner wall of the through hole 521 .
[0077] The support assembly 5 is used to provide physical support for the substrate 1. The support assembly 5 can be snapped or plugged into the second surface of the substrate 1. The driving member 3 can be placed in the through hole 521 of the support assembly 5 to optimize space utilization and make the overall structure of the touch panel more compact; a gap is left around the driving member 3 and the through hole 521 to prevent the support assembly 5 from resonating when the driving member 3 vibrates.
[0078] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 7 to 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the support assembly 5 may include:
[0079] A mounting member 51 may be provided on the substrate 1;
[0080] The fixing frame 52 may have the through hole 521, and the projection area of the mounting member 51 projected on the substrate 1 is smaller than the projection area of the fixing frame 52 projected on the substrate 1; the push switch 8 is arranged between the mounting member 51 and the fixing frame 52, and the push switch 8 is electrically connected to the substrate 1;
[0081] The adjusting member 53 can be arranged between the fixing frame 52 and the mounting member 51. The adjusting member 53 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 51, and the adjusting member 53 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 52. Pressing the substrate 1 can rotate the adjusting member 53, thereby driving the mounting member 51 and the fixing frame 52 to approach each other to trigger the press switch 8.
[0082] The push switch 8 is used to realize human-computer interaction, and the user's pressing action triggers a preset instruction, such as starting, shutting down, selecting an item, switching modes, etc. The push switch 8 can be arranged between the mounting member 51 and the fixing frame 52. The push switch 8 can be electrically connected to the substrate 1 to ensure a compact layout. The push switch 8 can be connected to the mounting member 51 or the fixing frame 52. The push switch 8 can have a built-in rebound structure, and the rebound structure can use a spring or a memory alloy element to realize that the push switch 8 can automatically return to the initial position after being pressed.
[0083] The mounting member 51 may be plate-shaped and have a missing area, thereby reducing the overall weight and improving portability; or, the mounting member 51 may be strip-shaped to minimize the overall weight. The present application preferably has the mounting member 51 in the shape of a strip. In order to ensure the flatness of the touch panel, there may be two strip-shaped mounting members 51. The two mounting members 51 may be spaced and arranged on both sides of the substrate 1 opposite to each other. The two mounting members 51 may be connected to the fixing frame 52 through the adjusting member 53 to realize the setting of the push switch 8 on both sides of the substrate 1 to enhance the interactive experience; or, one mounting member 51 may be connected to the fixing frame 52 through the adjusting member 53, and the other mounting member 51 may be plugged into the fixing frame 52 to simplify the structure and improve the stability of the connection between the mounting member 51 and the fixing frame 52. A limiting hole 511 may be provided on the other mounting member 51, and a limiting protrusion 523 matching the limiting hole 511 may be provided on the fixing frame 52. The limiting hole 511 and the limiting protrusion 523 cooperate with each other to limit the relative movement between the other mounting member 51 and the fixing frame 52, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection.
[0084] The through holes 521 of the fixing frame 52 may be arranged at intervals between two mounting members 51 to optimize space utilization and make the overall structure more compact.
[0085] The adjusting member 53 may include a rod body 531 and two engaging portions 532, and the two ends of the rod body 531 may be respectively connected to the engaging portions 532 to form a U-shaped structure. The rod body 531 may be engaged with the mounting member 51 and the two may rotate relative to each other. The fixing frame 52 may be configured with two slots 522, each of which may be adapted to a engaging portion 532, and each engaging portion 532 may be engaged with a slot 522 and the two may slide relative to each other.
[0086] When the user applies pressure to the substrate 1, the pressure is transmitted to the adjusting member 53 via the mounting member 51, causing the adjusting member 53 to rotate relative to the mounting member 51; since the engaging portion 532 of the adjusting member 53 and the engaging slot 522 of the fixing frame 52 slide in cooperation, the adjusting member 53 can cause the fixing frame 52 to slide on the engaging portion 532 of the adjusting member 53 while rotating, causing the fixing frame 52 and the mounting member 51 to approach each other, thereby triggering the press switch 8. The adjusting member 53 also ensures that the triggering stroke is consistent when the user's left and right hands apply pressure, which not only optimizes the touch experience, but also avoids the deformation of the touch panel when clicking, thereby maintaining the beautiful appearance and stable performance of the touch panel after long-term use, and ensuring the reliability of the touch panel for long-term use. When the user stops pressing, the rebound structure built into the press switch 8 can cause the mounting member 51 and the fixing frame 52 to return to the initial position, and the adjusting member 53 is reset accordingly, completing the automatic rebound process.
[0087] In order to limit the movement range between the fixing frame 52 and the mounting member 51 and ensure structural stability, the support assembly 5 may further include a clamping assembly 54, through which the fixing frame 52 may be clamped to the mounting member 51 to prevent the two from being excessively separated and ensure that an appropriate distance is maintained between the two.
[0088] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting member 51 may include:
[0089] The limiting portion 512 may be in contact with a portion of the circumference of the substrate 1 .
[0090] The peripheral side of part of the mounting member 51 may protrude toward the substrate 1 to form a limiting portion 512. The limiting portion 512 has a first end face, and the first end face may match the peripheral profile of part of the substrate 1 to achieve a close fit between the two, so as to limit the lateral movement of the substrate 1. At the same time, the limiting portion 512 also provides additional protection to prevent the substrate 1 from being damaged. In addition, the fit between the limiting portion 512 and the substrate 1 ensures that the adjusting member 53 and the fixing frame 52 can be accurately positioned during assembly, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire structure and the accuracy of assembly.
[0091] Such as 10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, it may also include:
[0092] A light guide portion 6 may be connected to the first surface of the substrate 1 , and the light guide portion 6 has at least one accommodation space 61 , and each accommodation space 61 is used to accommodate one of the light emitting elements 2 ;
[0093] Each of the accommodating spaces 61 is used to guide one of the light-emitting elements 2 to emit light along a first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the first surface of the substrate 1 .
[0094] The light guide portion 6 may be plate-shaped, and the light guide portion 6 may be bonded to the first surface of the substrate 1. The light guide portion 6 may have at least one through hole, and each through hole forms an accommodation space 61. The accommodation space 61 may have a certain gap with the light emitting element 2 to facilitate the installation of the light emitting element 2. The accommodation space 61 ensures that the light beam is emitted in the first direction, that is, perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 1, effectively gathers the light, reduces scattering, ensures the directional transmission efficiency of the light, and improves the brightness and uniformity.
[0095] like Figure 2 As shown, the touch panel may further include a cover plate 7. The cover plate 7 is used to protect the substrate 1 and the light emitting element 2. The light guide 6 may be disposed between the substrate 1 and the cover plate 7, and the light guide 6 may be bonded to the cover plate 7. The cover plate 7 may be made of a transparent material, such as glass or plastic, wherein glass is preferred to take into account both visual effects and touch sensitivity.
[0096] like Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present application provides an electronic device, including:
[0097] Touchpad, including:
[0098] substrate1;
[0099] At least one light-emitting element 2 is disposed on the first surface of the substrate 1, and at least one light-emitting element 2 is electrically connected to the substrate 1;
[0100] The driving member 3 is disposed on the second surface of the substrate 1 ; the driving member 3 is used to drive the substrate 1 to vibrate.
[0101] The electronic device of the embodiment of the present application may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, a device with an industrial control interface, etc. The touch panel may be integrated with a touch bar, such as a touch bar for adjusting volume, brightness, etc., and the touch bar area and non-touch bar area of the touch panel may be distinguished by the system software. During the lighting process of at least one light emitting element 2, the brightness of the light emitting element 2 may be controlled by the system or control module 4 of the electronic device to achieve gradual brightening and dimming. For example, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, when the user moves on the brightness touch bar, the system software instantly analyzes the touch signal, identifies the user's intention to adjust the brightness through an algorithm, and immediately associates this intention with a specific brightness change. At the same time, the system generates a target instruction, and the control module 4 can control based on the target instruction: the light-emitting element 2 gradually lights up until it is fully lit, and the initial driving element 3 starts synchronously when the light-emitting element 2 lights up, causing the substrate 1 to vibrate, giving the user tactile feedback; when the user's finger moves away from the brightness touch bar area, the touch sensor in the brightness touch bar area immediately recognizes the contact interruption, that is, the signal that the finger leaves the touch bar, notifying the system that the interaction ends. After the system receives the interrupt signal, the system responds to the interrupt and immediately sends a target instruction to the control module 4. The control module 4 can control based on the target instruction: the driving element 3 stops working immediately, the vibration of the substrate 1 stops, and at the same time, the brightness of the light-emitting element 2 gradually decreases until it is completely extinguished, completing the entire interaction process.
[0102] like Fig.14As shown, a specific touch bar area 9 can be clearly divided by sensors and circuit layout. The specific setting method of the touch bar is known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here. Touch bars for brightness and volume adjustment can be configured on the left and right sides of the touch panel, respectively, and a progress adjustment touch bar can be configured on the back side of the touch panel. Sensors of different touch bar areas 9 can be integrated on the substrate 1, and each touch bar area 9 can be integrated with a light-emitting element 2 to present a specific indication pattern to intuitively indicate its functional division. For example, the light-emitting element 2 of the brightness touch area 91 can present a sun icon to light up, prompting the brightness adjustment function; the light-emitting element 2 of the volume touch area 92 can light up with a musical note pattern to clearly indicate the volume adjustment; the light-emitting element 2 of the progress touch area 93 can light up a triangular pattern to indicate progress control, thereby guiding the user to operate, enhancing the touch experience, and allowing the user to quickly identify and operate the touch bar function through visual prompts. The light-emitting element 2 of a specific touch bar area can continuously emit light; or, it can also be set to a dynamic response as described above, emitting light only when the user slides on a specific touch bar, and remaining off during non-operation.
[0103] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the touch panel provided in the above embodiment, and at least one light emitting element 2 is provided on the first surface of the substrate 1, and at least one light emitting element 2 electrically connected to the substrate 1 provides intuitive visual feedback to the user, and a driving element 3 provided on the second surface of the substrate 1 provides vibration feedback to the user. That is, the touch panel of the present application combines the dual feedback mechanism of visual feedback and tactile feedback, breaks through the single feedback limitation of the traditional touch technology, enhances the realism and perceptibility of the operation, and significantly enhances the user's interactive experience.
[0104] In some embodiments, it also includes:
[0105] A housing (not shown in the figure), connected to the touch panel;
[0106] A control unit (not shown in the figure), electrically connected to the substrate 1; the control unit can control the at least one light-emitting element 2 and the driving element 3 to work synchronously based on a target instruction;
[0107] A control key (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the touch panel and / or the housing, and the control key is electrically connected to the control unit. The control key is used to control the control unit to be turned on or off.
[0108] The touch panel can be connected to the housing by bonding or plugging. The specific setting method of the control unit can refer to the setting method of the control module 4 in Example 1.
