Description

A kind of method of capacitive touch screen architecture defects detection
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of capacitive touch screen defect inspection method, especially projecting type capacitor formula touch-screen sweep trace capacitance determining method.
Background technology
Touch-screen is because the advantages such as it is sturdy and durable, reaction velocity fast, saving space have obtained increasing application in various electronic device field.The projection-type capacitive touch screen product is becoming the mainstream product in the market at present.Its scanning theory as shown in Figure 1, make the overlapping electrod-array of transverse and longitudinal at glass baseplate surface with ITO (indium tin oxide), horizontal and vertical ITO electrode crossing place forms several Inductance and Capacitance, also be the two poles of the earth that two arrays of electrodes consists of respectively electric capacity, when occuring to touch, touch place adjacent electrode coupling situation changes, thereby the mutual capacitance value changes, by the change of scan capture to capacitance, namely obtain touch location.The touch-screen that consists of take 4 lines, 4 alignments is as example, the electrode of line and alignment; Consist of respectively the two poles of the earth of Inductance and Capacitance, when the position of pixel 103 correspondences on the finger touch screen, near two electrode couplings the pixel 103 change, cause the variation of Inductance and Capacitance 105 values, 102 pairs of lines of driving circuit, also be that drive wire Drive Iine100 timesharing applies the driving signal successively, alignment also is that sense wire Sense Iine104 carries out sensing by column, sensing signal obtains the position coordinates of touch point by operational amplifier 106 and output by the variation that detects corresponding capacitance.
Need before the touch-screen formed product its electrical specification such as capacitance are tested, to guarantee product yield.May there be defective in capacitance plate device and capacitance plate control chip and cause the capacitance detecting value constant, and no matter no touch is namely arranged, and corresponding capacitance is fixed value or changes not obvious.But only can test its conducting and impedance after the present stage touch-screen ITO etching, and can't test sweep trace electric capacity.Therefore can only utilize mechanical arm simulation finger the mode of operation that actual persons is simulated in action such as to rule, get ready at product, reading out data and processing then, whether the judgement product is qualified.This method efficient is low and be subjected to external interference easily and produce error.
Also having a kind of measuring technology is mode by external capacitor, whether relatively output after the row operation of going forward side by side in parallel is processed respectively with coupling capacitance with sweep trace testing capacitance, an external tunable capacitor can be accepted by the scanning capacitance value of relatively judging of analysis result and preset threshold value.The method has increased extra cost and extendability shortcoming.
The application namely proposes a kind of capacitance touch screen defect inspection method efficient, that easily expand, and sweep trace electric capacity is detected.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention namely provides a kind of capacitance touch screen defect inspection method and adopts the capacitive touch screen architecture of the method in order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, can detect the capacitance profile of Projected capacitive touch screen, thereby further detect the touch-screen yield.
In the technical scheme of the present invention, a magnitude of voltage is set first drives successively all drive wire Drive Line, measure the mutual capacitance value between every drive wire Drive Line and the sense wire Sense Line, obtain the mutual capacitance value matrix as benchmark, change again the driving voltage value that is applied to drive wire Drive Line, drive successively all drive wires, again measure the mutual capacitance value between every drive wire Drive Line and the sense wire Sense Line, judge whether that according to the difference Changing Pattern between twice measured value defectiveness exists.I.e. variation with driving voltage causes the change that detects data, and judges defective according to this change.
Capacitance touch screen is because the opening circuit of various factors such as adjacent electrode, short circuit etc., can cause Inductance and Capacitance to have defective, thereby cause the capacitance detecting value can't correctly detect actual capacitance value, when changing such as capacitance, the Detection capacitance value is constant or almost constant, perhaps improper numerical value appears in detected value, as much larger than or much smaller than normal mutual capacitance value variation range, and twice measured value difference of qualified capacitance plate is controlled in the zone of reasonableness usually.Compare with the threshold value of presetting by the deviation with measurement result, can judge whether capacitance plate exists defective.
With respect to prior art, but the method setting program that the present invention proposes automatically control, have and measure accurately the advantages such as efficient height, favorable expandability.
