在內嵌式(in-cell)觸控面板中,內嵌式觸控面板在同一塊基板上設置有閘極驅動電路以及觸控電路,且閘極驅動信號線與觸控信號線彼此可能會很接近,因此閘極驅動信號與觸控信號會彼此干擾。由於閘極驅動信號的強度較強,經由電容耦合效應,閘極驅動信號往往會造成雜訊而干擾觸控信號,而降低了觸控操作的訊雜比(signal to noise ratio, SNR)。In an in-cell touch panel, the in-cell touch panel is provided with a gate driving circuit and a touch circuit on the same substrate, and the gate driving signal line and the touch signal line may be mutually Very close, so the gate drive signal and the touch signal will interfere with each other. Due to the strong intensity of the gate drive signal, the gate drive signal often causes noise and interferes with the touch signal through the capacitive coupling effect, and reduces the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the touch operation.

在傳統的作法中,為了避免觸控信號被閘極驅動信號所干擾,一般會在致能觸控電路時,將移位暫存電路中的幾個特定信號拉低至低準位,以避免閘極驅動電路與觸控電路同時運作而彼此干擾。但於此同時,如何讓閘極驅動電路於觸控電路被致能的此期間過後能快速地重新正常運作,則成為工程師在設計移位暫存電路時的一大課題。In the conventional method, in order to prevent the touch signal from being interfered by the gate driving signal, generally, when the touch circuit is enabled, several specific signals in the shift register circuit are pulled down to a low level to avoid The gate driving circuit and the touch circuit operate simultaneously and interfere with each other.

The second transistor pulls up the potential of the on signal according to the enable signal. The third transistor resets the potential of the on signal to the second reference voltage according to the reset signal. The pull-up circuit adjusts the potential of the output signal to the potential of the clock signal in accordance with the control signal. The pull-down circuit adjusts the potential of the output signal to the second reference voltage according to the pull-down signal and the control signal.

The first end of the first transistor T11 receives the first reference voltage VDD_G, and the second end of the first transistor T11 is electrically connected to the pull-down circuit 104 and the pull-up circuit 106. The control terminal of the first transistor T11 receives the reset signal K(5). The first end of the second transistor T71 receives the gate drive signal G(3). The second end of the second transistor T71 is coupled to the control end of the first transistor T11, and the control end of the second transistor T71 receives the enable signal ST(3). The third transistor T72 receives the reset signal K(5), and the second terminal of the third transistor T72 receives the second reference voltage VSS. The control terminal of the third transistor T72 receives the enable signal ST(5). The first end of the capacitor C1 receives the second reference voltage VSS, and the second end of the capacitor C1 receives the reset signal K(5).

於一實施例中,第一電晶體T11、第二電晶體T71與第三電晶體T72係為N型金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, MOSFET)。在此實施例中,第三電晶體T72的導通阻抗rds_ON3 大於第一電晶體T11的導通阻抗rds_ON1 ,且第三電晶體T72的導通阻抗rds_ON3 大於第二電晶體T71的導通阻抗rds_ON2 。於實務上,第一電晶體T11的導通阻抗rds_ON1 與第二電晶體T71的導通阻抗rds_ON2 被設計為實質上相等,但不以此為限。其中,導通阻抗rds_ON 係關聯於載子遷移率(carrier mobility)、金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體的閘極寬度、金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體的閘極長度,以及金氧半場效電晶體之閘極氧化層的單位電容大小。In one embodiment, the first transistor T11, the second transistor T71, and the third transistor T72 are Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs).

Alternatively, the first end of the capacitor C1 may be coupled to the pull-up circuit 106 to form a coupling path between the control signal Q(5) and the reset signal K(5). It should be noted that in another embodiment, the switch circuit 102 does not have a capacitor C1.

In the switching circuit 102, the first transistor T11 adjusts the potential of the control signal Q(5) to the first reference voltage VDD_G according to the potential of the reset signal K(5) on the gate of the first transistor T11. The second transistor T71 pulls up the potential of the reset signal K(5) in accordance with the enable signal ST(3). The third transistor T72 resets the potential of the reset signal K(5) to the second reference voltage VSS in accordance with the reset signal ST(5).

此外,如圖2所繪示地,開關電路102還具有電晶體T73或電晶體T74。電晶體T73的第一端接收第二參考電壓VSS,電晶體T73的第二端接收控制信號Q(5),且電晶體T73的控制端接收觸控致能信號TP_EN。電晶體T74的第一端接收第二參考電壓VSS,電晶體T74的第二端接收閘極驅動信號G(5),且電晶體T74的控制端接收觸控致能信號TP_EN。在此實施例中,當觸控致能信號TP_EN為高電位時,閘極驅動信號G(5)與控制信號Q(5)被調整至第二參考電壓VSS。其中,觸控致能信號TP_EN係用以指示觸控電路是否在進行掃描,以令移位暫存電路10_5進行相應的作動。In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the switch circuit 102 further has a transistor T73 or a transistor T74. The first end of the transistor T73 receives the second reference voltage VSS, the second end of the transistor T73 receives the control signal Q(5), and the control end of the transistor T73 receives the touch enable signal TP_EN. The first end of the transistor T74 receives the second reference voltage VSS, the second end of the transistor T74 receives the gate drive signal G(5), and the control end of the transistor T74 receives the touch enable signal TP_EN. In this embodiment, when the touch enable signal TP_EN is at a high potential, the gate drive signal G(5) and the control signal Q(5) are adjusted to the second reference voltage VSS. The touch enable signal TP_EN is used to indicate whether the touch circuit is scanning, so that the shift register circuit 10_5 performs corresponding operations.

請參照圖3,圖3係為根據本發明圖2所繪示之移位暫存電路的時序示意圖。圖3中係繪示有觸控致能信號TP_EN、第一參考電壓VDD_G、重置信號K(5)、控制信號Q(1)、控制信號Q(3)、控制信號Q(5) 、控制信號Q(7)、閘極驅動信號G(1)、閘極驅動信號G(3)、閘極驅動信號G(5) 與閘極驅動信號G(7)的相對時序。Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a timing diagram of the shift register circuit illustrated in FIG. 2 according to the present invention. 3 shows a touch enable signal TP_EN, a first reference voltage VDD_G, a reset signal K (5), a control signal Q (1), a control signal Q (3), a control signal Q (5), control The relative timing of the signal Q (7), the gate drive signal G (1), the gate drive signal G (3), the gate drive signal G (5) and the gate drive signal G (7).

如前述地,觸控致能信號TP_EN係用以指示觸控電路是否在進行掃描,而當觸控電路在進行掃描時,觸控致能信號TP_EN係被調整為高電位。如圖3所示,在觸控致能信號TP_EN係被調整為高電位前,第一參考電壓VDD_G會被先調整至低電位。此時,控制信號Q(5)會被連帶地被調整至低電位,閘極驅動信號G(5)因此未被拉高到高電位,因而可以減少電晶體T21受到偏壓壓力(stress)的時間。此外,移位暫存電路10_5的其他輸入輸出信號都被拉低至低電位。因此,當觸控電路在進行掃描的期間,移位暫存電路10_5中的各節點電位大致上維持原本的電位。其中,當觸控致能信號TP_EN為高電壓準位時,或者說當移位暫存電路10_5的各輸入輸出信號被調整至低電位時,重置信號K(5)的電位大致上維持為定值。在一實施例中,此時各輸入輸出信號係被調整至第二參考電壓VSS,但並不以此為限。As described above, the touch enable signal TP_EN is used to indicate whether the touch circuit is scanning, and when the touch circuit is scanning, the touch enable signal TP_EN is adjusted to a high potential. As shown in FIG. 3, before the touch enable signal TP_EN is adjusted to a high potential, the first reference voltage VDD_G is first adjusted to a low potential. At this time, the control signal Q(5) is collectively adjusted to a low potential, and the gate drive signal G(5) is thus not pulled high to a high potential, thereby reducing the stress of the transistor T21 by the bias voltage. time. In addition, other input and output signals of the shift register circuit 10_5 are pulled low to a low potential. Therefore, during the scanning of the touch circuit, the potential of each node in the shift register circuit 10_5 substantially maintains the original potential. Wherein, when the touch enable signal TP_EN is at a high voltage level, or when the input and output signals of the shift register circuit 10_5 are adjusted to a low potential, the potential of the reset signal K(5) is substantially maintained as Value. In an embodiment, each input and output signal is adjusted to the second reference voltage VSS, but is not limited thereto.

而當觸控電路結束掃描時,觸控致能信號TP_EN由高電位被拉低至低電位,且第一參考電壓VDD_G由低電位被調整至高電位。如圖3所示,此時重置信號K(5)重新被調整至高電位,並連帶地使控制信號Q(5)被調整至高電位,且閘極驅動信號G(5)也因此被調整至高電位。When the touch circuit ends the scanning, the touch enable signal TP_EN is pulled low to a low potential, and the first reference voltage VDD_G is adjusted to a high potential by the low potential. As shown in FIG. 3, at this time, the reset signal K(5) is again adjusted to a high potential, and the control signal Q(5) is adjusted to a high potential, and the gate drive signal G(5) is thus adjusted to be high. Potential.

在實際的電路中,重置信號K(5)的電位有可能因為電路的漏電問題而逐漸降低。因此,於實務上會依據實際所需調整電容C1的電容值大小以控制重置信號K(5)的電位因為電路漏電而下降的速度。請一併參照圖4以進行說明,圖4係為根據本發明一實施例所繪示之重置信號相對於不同電容值的電容C1的時序示意圖。在圖4中係繪示有當電容C1所具有的電容値改變時,重置信號K(5)相對於電容C1的電容之變化。如圖3、圖4所示,在觸控電路進行掃描期間,也就是觸控致能信號TP_EN為高準位的期間,雖然重置信號K(5)大致上維持不變,但由於電路漏電的影響,重置信號K(5)的電位還是隨著時間過去而逐漸下降。而對應於不同電容值的電容C1,當電容C1的電容值越大時,重置信號K(5)的電位下降地越慢。其中,電容C1的電容値為0皮法拉(picofarad,pF)所形成的曲線,即對應前述之移位暫存器10_5不具有電容C1的實施例。In an actual circuit, the potential of the reset signal K(5) may gradually decrease due to a leakage problem of the circuit. Therefore, in practice, the capacitance value of the capacitor C1 is adjusted according to actual needs to control the speed at which the potential of the reset signal K(5) drops due to leakage of the circuit. Please refer to FIG. 4 for illustration. FIG. 4 is a timing diagram of the capacitor C1 of the reset signal with respect to different capacitance values according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 4 shows a change in the capacitance of the reset signal K(5) relative to the capacitor C1 when the capacitance 値 of the capacitor C1 changes. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, during the scanning process of the touch circuit, that is, during the period in which the touch enable signal TP_EN is at a high level, although the reset signal K(5) is substantially maintained, the circuit leakage occurs. The effect of the reset signal K(5) is gradually decreasing as time passes. On the other hand, for the capacitor C1 corresponding to different capacitance values, when the capacitance value of the capacitor C1 is larger, the potential of the reset signal K(5) drops more slowly. The capacitance 値 of the capacitor C1 is a curve formed by a picofarad (pF), that is, an embodiment in which the shift register 10_5 does not have the capacitor C1.

綜合以上所述,本發明揭露了一種移位暫存電路,藉由一開關電路適時地對移位暫存電路中的至少一個特定節點進行充放電,以在內嵌式觸控顯示面板為了因應觸控電路進行觸控掃描而拉低移位暫存電路的多個輸入信號或輸出信號時,也能讓移位暫存電路中的特定節點維持所欲的電壓。從而讓移位暫存電路在內嵌式觸控顯示面板致能觸控電路的此期間中,避免移位暫存電路中的各節點之電位有不適當的變化。而令移位暫存電路在此期間過後能快速地重新正常運作,並輸出正確的閘極驅動信號。In summary, the present invention discloses a shift temporary storage circuit in which a switch circuit timely and simultaneously charges and discharges at least one specific node in the shift register circuit to respond to the in-cell touch display panel. When the touch circuit performs touch scanning and pulls down multiple input signals or output signals of the shift register circuit, the specific node in the shift register circuit can also maintain the desired voltage. Therefore, in the period in which the shift register circuit enables the touch circuit in the in-cell touch display panel, the potential of each node in the shift register circuit is prevented from being inappropriately changed. The shift register circuit can quickly resume normal operation after this period and output the correct gate drive signal.
