Problem

Existing touch driving circuits for touch panels and display devices have high power consumption and rely heavily on integrated circuits for signal processing, which limits their efficiency and usage rate.

Innovation Solution

A touch driving circuit comprising an input subcircuit, a shift register subcircuit, an enable signal input subcircuit, and an output subcircuit, where the input subcircuit scans forward or backward signals at low electric levels, the shift register subcircuit generates output control signals, and the enable signal input subcircuit controls the output enable signal of the integrated circuit, reducing the circuit's reliance on the integrated circuit for signal processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the touch driving circuit relies heavily on integrated circuits for signal processing, then the signal processing capability is improved, but the power consumption increases and the usage rate of the integrated circuit becomes too high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing capabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the signal processing function into two parts: the integrated circuit handles only the output enable signal, while the display screen handles the actual touch signal processing through its built-in shift register. This division reduces the workload and power consumption of the integrated circuit while maintaining signal processing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display screen performs self-service by using its own built-in shift register to process touch signals, eliminating the need for the integrated circuit to handle all signal processing tasks. This reduces the integrated circuit's usage rate and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If the integrated circuit processes all touch signals, then the signal processing completeness is improved, but the usage rate of the integrated circuit increases, limiting efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal processing completenessVSAvoidefficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the signal processing workflow so that the integrated circuit generates only the output enable signal, while the display screen's shift register completes the touch signal processing. This segmentation improves overall system efficiency by distributing tasks appropriately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display screen is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying images and processing touch signals. By utilizing the display screen's built-in shift register for touch signal processing, the system achieves multi-functionality without requiring the integrated circuit to handle all processing tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If the touch driving circuit uses traditional integrated circuit-based signal processing, then the processing capability is improved, but the circuit complexity and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing capabilityVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the shift register function from the integrated circuit and places it in the display screen. This extraction simplifies the integrated circuit's structure while maintaining processing capability, as the display screen's built-in shift register handles the signal shifting operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
