Time-sharing environment light 60 is totally reflected, so that at least partly ambient light 60 leaves elasticity via first surface 210
Film layer 200.For example, as shown in Figure 1A, enter via first surface 210 when ambient light 60
Layers of elastomeric film 200 when propagating to inclined plane 222, if the incidence of the incident inclined plane 222 of ambient light 60
Angle is more than critical angle (critical angle), then ambient light 60 is totally reflected by inclined plane 222, e.g.
Ambient light 60 is all-trans and is incident upon first surface 210, and make ambient light 60 leave via first surface 210
Layers of elastomeric film 200.Consequently, it is possible to ambient light 60 just will not propagate to image detector 130 and disturb

In the Vehicular optical touch device 100 of the present embodiment, incline owing to layers of elastomeric film 200 has
Inclined-plane 222 can will at least partly be totally reflected from the ambient light 60 of first surface 210 incidence, and make environment
Light 60 leaves layers of elastomeric film 200 from first surface 210, is therefore effectively reduced ambient light 60 and propagates to
The light quantity of image detector 130.Consequently, it is possible to image detector 130 just can be the most by environment
The interference of light 60, and make Vehicular optical touch device 100 for the accuracy of the judgement of touch position
Promote.Pass owing to the Vehicular optical touch device 100 of the present embodiment can effectively reduce ambient light 60
Cast to the light quantity of image detector 130, even if therefore in strong ambient light 60(such as daylight) under, optics
Formula contactor control device 100 remains able to normal operation, and the touch position of the object 50 that correctly judges.
When the layers of elastomeric film 200 in the optical touch-control device 100 of the present embodiment meets 0.5 W/P 1,
Just can be effectively reduced ambient light 60 and propagate to the light quantity of image detector 130, and make optical profile type touch
Control device 100 is not affected by ambient light 60.
During it addition, image strip 142 propagates to inclined plane 222 in the scattering via screen 110,
Due to be from thin medium (such as air) enter close medium (i.e. the material of layers of elastomeric film 200, such as
Silicones), thus without being totally reflected.So, image strip 142 can penetrate layers of elastomeric film 200
And allow user can be observed.Therefore, even if arranging layers of elastomeric film 200 in screen 110 front, use
Person remains to the display picture normally watching on screen 110.
As shown in Figure 1 C, in the present embodiment, the angle α of inclined plane 222 and screen 110 is for example,
45 degree, and inclined plane 222 and the angle β for example, 45 degree of joint face 224, but the present invention is not with this
It is limited.Angle α and the design load of angle β can be made according to the incident direction of ambient light 60 time actually used
Adjust.
In the present embodiment, second surface 220 also includes being configured at the both sides of these inclined planes 222

Fig. 2 is the generalized section of the Vehicular optical touch device of another embodiment of the present invention.Please
With reference to Fig. 2, Vehicular optical touch device 100b of the present embodiment is tactile with the automobile-used optical profile type of Figure 1A
Control device 100 is similar to, and both difference is as described below.The automobile-used optical touch control dress of the present embodiment
Put 100 light elements 150 also including being configured between screen 110 and layers of elastomeric film 200.Guide-lighting
Unit 150 has one towards the 3rd surface 152, of layers of elastomeric film 200 towards the 4th of screen 110
Surface 154 and one connects the 3rd surface 152 and the incidence surface 156 on the 4th surface 154.At the present embodiment
In, light element 150 is configured on screen 110, and layers of elastomeric film 200 is configured at the 3rd surface 152
On.For example, layers of elastomeric film 200 can be engaged on the 3rd surface 152 by composition surface 230.
It is other that detection light source 120 is configured at incidence surface 156, and detection light 122 enters via incidence surface 156 and leads
In light unit 150.The tip formed due to inclined plane 222 and joint face 224 and the 3rd surface 152
Contact area limited, therefore the overwhelming majority layers of elastomeric film 200 and light element 150 between exist
There is gap (e.g. the air gap).So, when detection light 122 enters leaded light via incidence surface 156
After unit 150, most detection light 122 can be constantly by the 3rd surface 152 and the 4th surface 154
It is totally reflected and is confined in light element 150.
When object 50 presses first surface 210, the inclined plane 222 of pressed position A is towards the 3rd table
Face 152 deforms and is close to the 3rd surface 152, so that the detection light 122 in light element 150 is from inclining
Inclined-plane 222 is close to the position (i.e. pressed position A) on the 3rd surface 152 and is disengaged, and via elastica
Layer 200 propagates to object 50.Specifically, when inclined plane 222 is close to three surfaces 152, incline
The air gap between inclined-plane 222 and the 3rd surface 152 does not exists, and such 3rd surface 152 is right
The total reflection effect of detection light 122 will be destroyed, and therefore detection light 122 is just worn in pressed position A
Saturating 3rd surface 152 and layers of elastomeric film 200 and propagate to object 50.Then, object 50 will detect light
122 reflections, and make detection light 122 sequentially and saturating layers of elastomeric film 200, light element 150 and screen 110
And propagate to image detector 130.It is pressed consequently, it is possible to image detector 130 is just able to detect that
The detection light 122 that place A is transmitted, judges the position of pressed position A for optical touch-control device 100b
Put.
The inclined plane 222 of the present embodiment also has at least part of ambient light 60 of total reflection to reduce ambient light and pass
Casting to effect of image detector 130, the reason producing this effect can refer to above-described embodiment with details,
No longer repeat at this.
Fig. 3 is the screen generalized section with layers of elastomeric film of another embodiment of the present invention.Refer to
Fig. 3, the optical touch control apparatus of the present embodiment is similar with the optical touch control apparatus 100 of Figure 1A, and both
Difference as described below.In the optical touch control apparatus of the present embodiment, these of layers of elastomeric film 200c incline
Inclined-plane 222c includes the inclined plane organizing Different Slope, such as inclined plane 2221 and inclined plane 2222 more.
In the present embodiment, inclined plane 222c of described many group Different Slope lays respectively at second surface 220c
Zones of different.For example, as it is shown on figure 3, the less inclined plane 2221 of slope is positioned at the second table
Left one side of something of face 220c, and the bigger inclined plane 2222 of slope is positioned at right one side of something of second surface 220c.
From the point of view of another viewpoint, inclined plane 2221 is less than inclined plane 2222 with glimmering with the angle α 1 of screen 110
The angle α 2 of curtain 110, wherein angle α 1 for example, 30 degree, and angle α 2 for example, 45 degree, but
The present invention is not limited.Owing to layers of elastomeric film 200c of the present embodiment has, to be positioned at zones of different many
Plant inclined plane 222c of Different Slope, be therefore irradiated in the difference of layers of elastomeric film 200c when ambient light 60
When region has different angle of incidence, the multiple slopes of these inclined planes 222c just can be for having difference
The ambient light 60 of angle of incidence and be respectively designed to be suitable for the value of these different incidence angles.Consequently, it is possible to
Layers of elastomeric film 220c can be enable to be totally reflected greater proportion of ambient light 60.Fig. 2 is with two kinds of differences
As a example by slope, but in other embodiments, the Different Slope of more than three kinds can also be used.
Fig. 4 is the screen generalized section with layers of elastomeric film of one more embodiment of the present invention.Refer to
Fig. 4, layers of elastomeric film 200d of the present embodiment is similar with layers of elastomeric film 200c of Fig. 3, and both differences
Different as described below.In the optical touch-control device of the present embodiment, many groups of layers of elastomeric film 200d are different
Three groups of inclined planes 222d such as inclined plane 222d(of slope such as inclined plane 2223,2224 and 2225)
Arrangement interlaced with each other.For example, these inclined planes 2223,2224 and 2225 can be parallel to
The most repeatedly occur on the direction on one surface 210.When inclined plane 222d of many group Different Slope is interlocked
During arrangement, generally speaking these inclined planes 222d are applicable to the ambient light from the incidence of various different directions
60, and improving optical formula contactor control device is for the suitability of the kind of ambient light.Due to inclined plane 2223,
2224 is different from the slope of 2225, it is therefore possible to make the width of inclined plane 2223,2224 and 2225
Spend different from each other.Now, wantonly two neighbors' in inclined plane 2223,2224 and 2225 is average wide
Degree and the ratio of pitch the most still fall in the range of more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 1.For example,
For adjacent inclined plane 2223 and 2224, mean breadth is that the width of inclined plane 2223 adds
The width of inclined plane 2224 is divided by 2, and the pitch of inclined plane 2223 and 2224 is then inclined plane 2223
Distance on the direction being parallel to first surface 210 of the center of center and inclined plane 2224.At this
In embodiment, inclined plane 2223 and the angle α 3 for example, 60 degree of screen 110, inclined plane 2224
With the angle α 4 for example, 40 degree of screen 110, and the angle α 5 of inclined plane 2225 and screen 110
For example, 20 degree, but the present invention is not limited.Additionally, in other embodiments, inclined plane 2223,
2224 with 2225 put in order and can also be different from that other of Fig. 4 are any to put in order.Or,
