"And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist.

The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the specification, claims and drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0038] It should also be noted that the method disclosed in the embodiments of the present application or the method shown in the flowchart includes one or more steps for implementing the method. Without departing from the scope of the claims, the execution order of multiple steps can be interchanged with each other, and some steps can also be deleted.
[0039] At present, with the continuous advancement of touch screen technology, the human-computer interaction functions of most electronic products on the market are realized by touch screens, especially various electronic terminal products, such as mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, e-books and other electronic terminals, most of which use capacitive touch screens for human-computer interaction.
[0040] However, capacitive touchscreens still have some shortcomings. For example, the touch electrodes only have electric field coupling, which results in a relatively limited means of adjusting the touchscreen's performance. Furthermore, when a capacitive touchscreen communicates with an active pen, signal transmission relies on capacitive sensing between the pen tip and the touchscreen, resulting in low communication efficiency.
[0041] The present application provides a touch screen and a touch device for improving the touch performance of the touch screen and improving the communication efficiency of the touch screen.
[0042] Please refer to FIG1 , which is a schematic block diagram of a touch screen provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the touch screen 100 includes n first signal channels 110 (examples X1 to X5 in Figure 1), and m second signal channels 120 (examples Y1 to Y4 in Figure 1) orthogonal to the first signal channels 110. The first signal channels 110 and the second signal channels 120 are used to transmit the driving signals of the touch chip and transmit the capacitance detection signals and the magnetic field detection signals to the touch chip, where n≥2 and m≥2.
[0044] The first signal channel 110 includes a plurality of first-directional electrodes 111, and the second signal channel 120 includes a plurality of second-directional electrodes 121. Both the first-directional electrodes 111 and the second-directional electrodes 121 comprise conductors, each having a starting end and a terminal end for connecting to the touch control chip via a connecting wire. The conductors have a predetermined planar zigzag shape to impart inductive properties.
[0045] It can be understood that this solution, by configuring the conductive bodies of the first and second directional electrodes in the touch screen to have a planar, zigzag shape with inductive properties, allows electric and magnetic field coupling to occur between the first and second directional electrodes in the touch screen. This allows the first and second directional electrodes to be driven to generate capacitance detection signals and magnetic field detection signals. By combining these capacitance detection signals and magnetic field detection signals to detect touch operations, the touch performance of the touch screen can be improved. Furthermore, because the first and second directional electrodes have inductive properties, the ability to transmit and receive wireless communication signals between the touch screen and the active pen can be improved in scenarios where communication with an active pen is required, thereby improving the communication efficiency of the touch screen.
[0046] In some embodiments, the planar zigzag shape of the conductor includes a planar spiral or serpentine shape. In some embodiments, the plurality of first-direction electrodes of the first signal path are connected in parallel via the beginning or end of the conductor, and the plurality of second-direction electrodes of the second signal path are connected in parallel via the beginning or end of the conductor. Alternatively, the plurality of first-direction electrodes of the first signal path are connected in series via the beginning or end of the conductor, and the plurality of second-direction electrodes of the second signal path are connected in series via the beginning or end of the conductor.
[0047] In some embodiments, the planar spiral includes a first planar spiral and a second planar spiral, wherein the conductor spirals horizontally from the starting end to the end according to first predetermined spiral parameters to form the first planar spiral. For example, please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic block diagram of a first touch electrode provided in an embodiment of the present application. The touch electrode includes a first direction electrode 210a and a second direction electrode 220a.
[0048] The first direction electrode 210a includes a first conductor, and the planar zigzag shape of the first conductor includes a first planar spiral shape that spirals horizontally from a first starting end A to a first end B according to preset spiral parameters. The second direction electrode 220a includes a second conductor, and the planar zigzag shape of the second conductor includes a first planar spiral shape that spirals horizontally from a second starting end C to a second end D according to preset spiral parameters.
[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the first preset spiral parameters include the distance between spirals, the number of spiral turns, and the rotation direction. For example, the rotation directions of the first conductor and the second conductor can be the same or opposite, and the rotation direction includes clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation.
[0050] In some embodiments, the conductor is in a first planar spiral shape, and the conductor of the first direction electrode and the conductor of the second direction electrode rotate about the same center of a circle, so that the first direction electrode and the second direction electrode form a coaxial coupling. For example, as shown in FIG3 , the first direction electrode 210 b is coaxially arranged with one of the second direction electrodes 220 b , the first conductor is arranged in the spiral gap of the second conductor, and the first conductor 211 b is separated from the second conductor by a first distance.
[0051] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the rotation direction of the first conductor and the second conductor are the same. Since the first conductor is arranged in the spiral gap of the second conductor, when driving touch detection, a strong magnetic field coupling can be generated between the first conductor and the second conductor, making the change of the magnetic field detection signal more obvious when the touch operation is generated, thereby improving the accuracy of touch operation detection.
[0052] In some embodiments, the touch screen also includes multiple reference electrodes 230c. As shown in Figure 4, the reference electrode 230c is in a first plane spiral shape. The reference electrode 230c is arranged between the conductor of the first direction electrode 210c and the conductor of the second direction electrode 220c, and rotates along the same center of a circle as the conductor of the first direction electrode 210c and the conductor of the second direction electrode 220c. The reference electrode 230c is used to transmit a reference voltage.
[0053] The reference electrode 230 c includes a third conductor, which is disposed in a gap between the first conductor and the second conductor. The third conductor is spaced a second distance from the first conductor and the second conductor, respectively.
[0054] It is understood that the reference voltage can be, for example, zero, meaning the third conductor can be connected to system ground via the touch control chip. Alternatively, it can be another regulated voltage, meaning the third conductor can be controlled by the touch control chip to transmit a regulated voltage, thereby adjusting the capacitance between the first and second conductors and improving touch detection performance.
[0055] In a scenario where the first direction electrode and the second direction electrode are coaxially arranged, the first direction electrode and the second direction electrode can be connected in a parallel matrix to form the first signal channel and the second signal channel, or connected in a series matrix to form the first signal channel and the second signal channel. Alternatively, in a scenario where the first direction electrode, the second direction electrode, and the reference electrode are coaxially arranged, the first direction electrode and the second direction electrode can be connected in a parallel matrix to form the first signal channel and the second signal channel, or connected in a series matrix to form the first signal channel and the second signal channel.
[0056] Taking the scenario where the first directional electrodes and the second directional electrodes overlap as an example, please refer to Figures 5 and 6. In Figures 5 and 6, the first directional electrodes and the second directional electrodes are rectangular and evenly distributed on the touch screen.
[0057] The first signal channels X1 and X2 shown in FIG5 include a plurality of first direction electrodes connected in parallel via connecting lines, and the second signal channels Y1, Y2, and Y3 include a plurality of second direction electrodes connected in parallel via connecting lines. The first signal channels X1 and X2 shown in FIG6 include a plurality of first direction electrodes connected in series via connecting lines, and the second signal channels Y1, Y2, and Y3 include a plurality of second direction electrodes connected in series via connecting lines.
[0058] In scenarios where the first and second directional electrodes are not coaxially arranged, the first and second directional electrodes can be evenly distributed across the touch screen. As shown in Figure 7, the first and second directional electrodes 710, 720 are diamond-shaped and evenly distributed across the touch screen. Multiple first directional electrodes 710 can be connected in parallel via connecting wires in a bridge-like manner to form first signal channels X1 and X2. Multiple second directional electrodes 720 can also be connected in parallel via connecting wires in a bridge-like manner to form second signal channels Y1, Y2, and Y3.
[0059] In some embodiments, multiple first direction electrodes 710 may be connected in series via bridge-type connection wires to form a first signal channel, and multiple second direction electrodes 720 may also be connected in series via bridge-type connection wires to form a second signal channel, which is not limited here.
[0060] In some embodiments, the conductor spirals forward from the starting end or the end according to the second predetermined spiral parameter to a center and then spirals backward to the corresponding end or starting end to form a second planar spiral. For example, please refer to Figure 8, which is a schematic block diagram of the second touch electrode provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the planar zigzag shape of the conductor 810 in the touch electrode 800 includes a second planar spiral shape centered at the midpoint between the starting end A and the ending end B, spiraling horizontally in a forward direction to the starting end and in a reverse direction to the ending end according to preset spiral parameters. The second preset spiral parameters include the spiral spacing, the number of forward spiral turns, and the number of reverse spiral turns.
[0062] That is, the first direction electrode includes a first conductor, and the planar zigzag shape of the first conductor includes a second planar spiral shape that spirals horizontally in a forward direction to the first starting end and in a reverse direction to the first ending according to preset spiral parameters, with the midpoint between the first starting end and the first ending as the rotation center. The second direction electrode includes a second conductor, and the planar zigzag shape of the first conductor includes a second planar spiral shape that spirals horizontally in a forward direction to the second starting end and in a reverse direction to the second ending, with the midpoint between the second starting end and the second ending as the rotation center, with the preset spiral parameters.
[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the conductor 810 is generally rectangular, with the starting end A and the ending end B disposed outside the conductor 810. For example, the first direction electrodes and the second direction electrodes formed by the conductor 810 are rectangular, and the first direction electrodes and the second direction electrodes are evenly distributed on the touch screen.
[0064] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the conductor 810a is generally diamond-shaped, with the starting end A and the ending end B disposed outside the conductor 810a. For example, the first and second directional electrodes formed by the conductor 810a are diamond-shaped, and the first and second directional electrodes are evenly distributed on the touch screen.
[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the number of positive and negative spiral turns of conductor 810b is different, and one of the starting end A and the ending end B is disposed outside conductor 810b. The first and second directional electrodes formed by conductor 810b can be diamond-shaped, and the first and second directional electrodes are evenly distributed across the touch screen.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the first signal channel includes a plurality of first-direction electrodes connected in parallel via connecting lines, and the second signal channel includes a plurality of second-direction electrodes connected in parallel via connecting lines. Alternatively, the first signal channel includes a plurality of first-direction electrodes connected in series via connecting lines, and the second signal channel includes a plurality of second-direction electrodes connected in series via connecting lines.
[0067] As shown in Figure 9, in a scenario where the first direction electrodes 910 and the second direction electrodes 920 are diamond-shaped, multiple first direction electrodes 910 can be connected in series in a bridge-type manner through connecting wires to form first signal channels X1 and X2, and multiple second direction electrodes 920 can also be connected in series in a bridge-type manner through connecting wires to form second signal channels Y1 and Y2, which is not limited here.
[0068] In some embodiments, the conductor is folded from the beginning to the end according to a preset folding parameter to form a serpentine trace. For example, please refer to FIG10 , which is a schematic block diagram of a third touch electrode provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the touch electrode 1000 includes a conductor 1010 , and the planar zigzag shape of the conductor 1010 includes a serpentine shape folded and extended from a first starting end A to a first end B according to preset folding parameters.
[0070] That is, the first direction electrode includes a first conductor, the planar zigzag shape of the first conductor comprising a serpentine trace that folds and extends from a first starting end to a first end according to preset folding parameters. The second direction electrode includes a second conductor, the planar zigzag shape of the second conductor comprising a serpentine trace that folds and extends from a second starting end to a second end according to preset folding parameters. The preset folding parameters include a folding interval, a folding length, and a folding number.
[0071] In some embodiments, the first direction electrodes and the second direction electrodes are rectangular, and the first direction electrodes and the second direction electrodes are evenly distributed on the screen body of the touch screen.
[0072] Referring to Figures 11 and 12 , the first and second directional electrodes are diamond-shaped and evenly distributed across the touch screen. As shown in Figure 11 , the first and second conductive bodies 1111a and 1121a fold and extend in the same direction, or as shown in Figure 12 , the first and second conductive bodies 1111b and 1121b fold and extend in orthogonal directions.
[0073] In some embodiments, the first signal channel includes a plurality of first direction electrodes connected in parallel via connecting lines, and the second signal channel includes a plurality of second direction electrodes connected in parallel via connecting lines. Alternatively, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the first signal channels X1 and X2 include a plurality of first direction electrodes 1110 connected in series via connecting lines, and the second signal channels Y1 and Y2 include a plurality of second direction electrodes 1120 connected in series via connecting lines.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 13, which is a schematic block diagram of a touch control device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The touch control device 1300 includes a touch control chip 1310 and a touch screen 1320 in any of the above embodiments.
[0075] In some embodiments, the touch control device 1300 also includes an active stylus. The touch control chip 1310 is configured to: transmit a drive signal to the first signal channel or the second signal channel during a touch detection cycle, and transmit a capacitance detection signal and a magnetic field detection signal through the corresponding second signal channel or first signal channel. During a communication cycle with the active stylus, the touch control chip 1310 transmits a communication signal to the beginning or end of a first-directional electrode conductor in the first signal channel, and transmits a communication signal to the beginning or end of a second-directional electrode conductor in the second signal channel.
[0076] Transmitting a signal to the start or end of a conductor is single-ended driving, while transmitting a signal to both the start and end of a conductor is dual-ended driving. The touch control chip 1310 may include a switch matrix connected to the start and end of each electrode's conductor via connecting wires. When single-ended driving is required, the switch matrix connects the start or end of the electrode to the touch control chip 1310. When dual-ended driving is required, the switch matrix connects the start or end of the electrode to the touch control chip 1310. In other words, the other ends of the first signal channel and the second signal channel transmit corresponding driving voltages.
[0077] It can be understood that when the touch chip 1310 communicates with the active pen through the touch screen 1320 , single-ended driving of each electrode with inductive characteristics can form an antenna matrix, thereby enhancing the strength of the communication signal and improving the efficiency of communication with the active pen.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 14, which is a schematic block diagram of a second touch screen provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the touch screen 1400 includes n first signal channels.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the first signal channel is used to transmit the touch chip's drive signal and transmit the capacitance detection signal and magnetic field detection signal to the touch chip, where n ≥ 2. The first signal channel includes a plurality of first-direction electrodes (S1 to S9, a total of nine first-direction electrodes, in the example of FIG14 ). The first-direction electrodes include a conductor, each of which includes a starting end and an end for connecting to the touch chip via a connecting wire. The conductor has a predetermined planar zigzag shape to impart inductive properties.
[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14 , the conductor of the first direction electrode spirals horizontally from the starting end to the end according to first preset spiral parameters to form a first planar spiral. Alternatively, the conductor of the first direction electrode can spiral forward to a center according to second preset spiral parameters starting from the starting end or the end, and then spiral reversely to the corresponding end or starting end to form a second planar spiral. Alternatively, the conductor of the first direction electrode folds from the starting end to the end according to preset folding parameters to form a serpentine trace, where the preset folding parameters include a folding interval distance, a folding length, and a number of folds.
[0081] It is understood that the touch screen 1400 may be a touch screen using self-capacitance detection, where the starting end of the conductive body of the first directional electrode is used to transmit a drive signal, and the ending end is used to ground or transmit a reference voltage. Alternatively, the starting end of the conductive body of the first directional electrode is used to ground or transmit a reference voltage, and the ending end is used to transmit a drive signal.
[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14 , the conductors of the first direction electrodes are rectangular as a whole and are distributed in a matrix manner on the screen of the touch screen 1400. When the touch device equipped with the above-mentioned touch screen 1400 includes an active pen, the touch chip connected to the touch screen 1400 can form an array antenna matrix through the matrix-type first direction electrodes to communicate and interact with the active pen, thereby enhancing the strength of the communication signal and improving the efficiency of communication with the active pen.
[0083] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present application by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present application.
