[0020] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, they are not intended to limit the present disclosure to particular embodiments. Rather, the intention is to convey the concept of the present disclosure to a technical person skilled in the art with the best mode for carrying out the present disclosure.

[0021] As shown in the drawings, according to an embodiment of the present application, a touch key is provided, which includes a reference signal layer (reference), a sensing channel layer (sense), and a dummy signal layer (dummy). The reference signal layer (reference), the sensing channel layer (sense), and the dummy signal layer are respectively connected to a scanning channel of a capacitive scanning chip. Figure 1 The touch key has two layers, the reference and the sense are in the upper layer, and the dummy is in the lower layer. The sense is a square or a similar square-shaped pattern with an area of more than 5mm*5mm, the reference surrounds the periphery, and the reference ring is close to the sense but not in contact with the sense. The outermost side of the dummy in the lower layer should not be smaller than the outer side of the reference.

[0022] A uniform medium can be added between the two layers, or attached to both sides of the film material.

[0023] As shown in the drawings, according to an embodiment of the present application, a touch key is provided, which includes a reference signal layer (reference), a sensing channel layer (sense), and a dummy signal layer (dummy). The reference signal layer (reference), the sensing channel layer (sense), and the dummy signal layer are respectively connected to a scanning channel of a capacitive scanning chip.

[0024] Figure 2 ​As shown, Cx is the capacitance between sense and reference, Cdr is the capacitance between reference and dummy, Cds is the capacitance between sense and dummy, Cgr is the reference-to-ground capacitance, Cgs is the sense-to-ground capacitance, and Cgd is the dummy-to-ground capacitance.

[0025] The normal sense, reference and dummy are respectively connected to different pins of the touch chip, as shown in Figure 3 When there is no touch on the button, the voltage on sense and reference is the same, at this time, a comparator in the touch chip can obtain that the change of the capacitance between the two ends is 0V.

[0026] As shown in Figure 4 When the finger touches the button, since the human finger carries moisture and is also a good conductor, when the finger touches sense, the finger capacitance is incorporated into sense, so that a small voltage difference appears between the original balanced R and S, as shown in Figure 5 At this time, the comparator adc in the touch chip measures that the capacitance between the two ends is no longer 0V, that is, it is determined that there is a hand touch.

[0027] Figure 6 The equivalent circuit diagram of the finger. As can be seen from the figure, the finger can be equivalent to a resistance in series with a capacitance connected to ground.

[0028] The above is only the preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
