Description

觸控顯示裝置Touch display device

本發明是有關於一種觸控技術,且特別是有關於一種觸控顯示裝置。The present invention relates to a touch technology, and particularly relates to a touch display device.

近幾年來,觸控功能逐漸成為許多生活應用不可或缺的一部分,尤其是搭載觸控顯示面板的行動裝置,例如智慧型手機、平板電腦,更是隨處可見。依據顯示面板與觸控技術的整合方式,觸控顯示技術的種類可分為外貼式(out-cell)、外嵌式(on-cell)及內嵌式(in-cell)。進一步而言,觸控感測技術依據不同的架構及驅動方式又可區分為自容式(self-capacitance)及互容式(mutual-capacitance),其中互容式觸控感測技術因具有多點觸控(multi-touch)感測的優勢,已成為觸控技術的主流。In recent years, touch functions have gradually become an indispensable part of many life applications, especially mobile devices equipped with touch display panels, such as smart phones and tablet computers, which are everywhere. According to the integration method of the display panel and the touch technology, the types of touch display technology can be divided into out-cell, on-cell, and in-cell. Furthermore, touch sensing technology can be divided into self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance based on different architectures and driving methods. Among them, mutual-capacitance touch sensing technology has many advantages. The advantages of multi-touch sensing have become the mainstream of touch technology.

隨著觸控顯示裝置的厚度尺寸逐漸縮減,例如可撓式觸控顯示裝置,所採用的軟性基板通常都具有較薄的厚度。當觸控表面存在具有浮置電位且非預期的導體(例如水滴)時,較薄的基板厚度使得此導體與顯示面板的導電層(例如畫素電極、訊號線)之間的電容耦合效應(capacitive coupling effect)增加,造成非預期的觸控訊號產生。因此,如何在滿足觸控顯示裝置的輕薄化需求下,提高觸控感測的準確率是相關廠商的重要課題之一。As the thickness of the touch display device is gradually reduced, such as a flexible touch display device, the flexible substrate used generally has a thinner thickness. When there is an unexpected conductor (such as water droplets) with a floating potential on the touch surface, the thinner substrate thickness causes the capacitive coupling effect between this conductor and the conductive layer of the display panel (such as pixel electrodes, signal lines) ( Capacitive coupling effect) increases, causing unexpected touch signals to be generated. Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of touch sensing while meeting the needs of thinner and lighter touch display devices is one of the important issues of related manufacturers.

在本實施例中,顯示面板200還可包括覆蓋畫素結構層220的封裝層230。舉例來說,為了增加觸控顯示裝置10的可撓性,封裝層230例如是以薄膜封裝(Thin Film Encapsulation,TFE)的方式來實施,但本發明不以此為限。特別一提的是,在其他未示出的實施例中,觸控面板還可包括偏光片(polarizer)。偏光片設置於保護層101與觸控基板110之間,且例如是圓偏光片,以改善包含有機發光二極體面板的觸控顯示裝置的顯示對比。在未示出的另一實施例中,觸控面板還可包括彩色濾光層(color filter layer),且彩色濾光層設置於觸控基板110與第二電極TE2之間。據此,可提升包含有機發光二極體面板的觸控顯示裝置的色彩表現。In this embodiment, the display panel 200 may further include an encapsulation layer 230 covering the pixel structure layer 220. For example, in order to increase the flexibility of the touch display device 10, the encapsulation layer 230 is implemented in a thin film encapsulation (TFE) manner, but the invention is not limited thereto. In particular, in other embodiments not shown, the touch panel may further include a polarizer. The polarizer is disposed between the protective layer 101 and the touch substrate 110, and is, for example, a circular polarizer, so as to improve the display contrast of the touch display device including the organic light emitting diode panel.

Accordingly, the color performance of the touch display device including the organic light emitting diode panel can be improved.

請同時參照圖2A及圖2B,在本實施例中,第一電極TE1、第二電極TE2與輔助電極AE在觸控基板110的法線方向上不重疊於畫素結構層220的發光區LR。具體而言,第一電極TE1、第二電極TE2與輔助電極AE分別可具有多個第一延伸部與第二延伸部,且這些第一延伸部沿方向D1排列且在方向D2上延伸,這些第二延伸部沿方向D2排列且在方向D1上延伸。在本實施例中,方向D1實質上可垂直於方向D2,但不以此為限。2A and 2B at the same time, in this embodiment, the first electrode TE1, the second electrode TE2 and the auxiliary electrode AE do not overlap the light-emitting area LR of the pixel structure layer 220 in the normal direction of the touch substrate 110 . Specifically, the first electrode TE1, the second electrode TE2, and the auxiliary electrode AE may respectively have a plurality of first extension portions and second extension portions, and the first extension portions are arranged along the direction D1 and extend in the direction D2. The second extension parts are arranged along the direction D2 and extend in the direction D1. In this embodiment, the direction D1 can be substantially perpendicular to the direction D2, but it is not limited thereto.

舉例而言,第一電極TE1的第一延伸部TE1a(或者是第二電極TE2的第一延伸部TE2a)與發光區LR是沿方向D1交替排列,而第一電極TE1的第二延伸部TE1b(或者是第二電極TE2的第二延伸部TE2b)與發光區LR是沿方向D2交替排列。相似地,輔助電極AE的第一延伸部AEa與發光區LR是沿方向D1交替排列,而輔助電極AE的第二延伸部AEb與發光區LR是沿方向D2交替排列。For example, the first extension TE1a of the first electrode TE1 (or the first extension TE2a of the second electrode TE2) and the light emitting area LR are alternately arranged along the direction D1, and the second extension TE1b of the first electrode TE1 (Or the second extension portion TE2b of the second electrode TE2) and the light emitting area LR are alternately arranged along the direction D2. Similarly, the first extension AEa of the auxiliary electrode AE and the light emitting area LR are alternately arranged along the direction D1, and the second extension AEb of the auxiliary electrode AE and the light emitting area LR are alternately arranged along the direction D2.

需說明的是,在本實施例中,第一電極TE1的任兩相鄰的第一延伸部TE1a(或者是第二電極TE2的任兩相鄰的第一延伸部TE2a)之間的發光區LR數量以及輔助電極AE的任兩相鄰的第一延伸部AEa之間的發光區LR數量分別是以兩個以及一個為例進行示範性地說明,並不表示本發明以圖式揭示內容為限制。在其他實施例中,第一電極TE1的任兩相鄰的第一延伸部TE1a(或者是第二電極TE2的任兩相鄰的第一延伸部TE2a)之間的發光區LR數量也可以是一個或三個以上,而輔助電極AE的任兩相鄰的第一延伸部AEa之間的發光區LR數量也可以是兩個以上。同樣地,本發明並不以圖式揭示內容而加以限制第一電極TE1、第二電極TE2或輔助電極AE的任兩相鄰的第二延伸部之間的發光區LR數量。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the light-emitting area between any two adjacent first extension portions TE1a of the first electrode TE1 (or any two adjacent first extension portions TE2a of the second electrode TE2) The number of LR and the number of light-emitting areas LR between any two adjacent first extensions AEa of the auxiliary electrode AE are illustrated by taking two and one as examples respectively, and it does not mean that the present invention uses the schematic disclosure content as limit. In other embodiments, the number of light-emitting areas LR between any two adjacent first extension portions TE1a of the first electrode TE1 (or any two adjacent first extension portions TE2a of the second electrode TE2) may also be One or more than three, and the number of light-emitting regions LR between any two adjacent first extension portions AEa of the auxiliary electrode AE can also be more than two. Similarly, the present invention does not limit the number of light-emitting areas LR between any two adjacent second extensions of the first electrode TE1, the second electrode TE2, or the auxiliary electrode AE without the content of the figures.

以下將針對觸控顯示裝置10的驅動方式進行示例性地說明。請參照圖1及圖4,觸控顯示裝置10於時序上分別具有用於顯示畫面的顯示時間(未繪示)以及用於觸控感測的觸控時間Tt,且顯示時間與觸控時間Tt可於時序上交替設置。需說明的是,為清楚呈現與說明起見,圖4省略了觸控顯示裝置10的顯示時間的繪示。The driving method of the touch display device 10 will be exemplarily described below. 1 and 4, the touch display device 10 has a display time (not shown) for displaying a screen and a touch time Tt for touch sensing in time sequence, and the display time and the touch time Tt can be alternately set in timing. It should be noted that, for clarity of presentation and description, FIG. 4 omits the illustration of the display time of the touch display device 10.

在本實施例中,於觸控時間Tt內,第一電極TE1被輸入第一信號S1,第二電極TE2被輸入第二信號S2。觸控時間Tt具有第一時段Tp1與第二時段Tp2。舉例而言,於觸控時間Tt的第一時段Tp1內,第一電極TE1所傳遞的第一信號S1可以是驅動信號DS1,第二電極TE2所傳遞的第二信號S2可以是感測信號SS。也就是說,此時的第一電極TE1可以是驅動電極,第二電極TE2可以是感測電極,而觸控面板100是操作在互容(mutual-capacitance)感測的模式下。值得一提的是,於觸控時間Tt的第一時段Tp1內,輔助電極AE可具有浮置電位(floating potential),以避免影響第一電極TE1與第二電極TE2操作在互容感測模式下的電性。In this embodiment, during the touch time Tt, the first electrode TE1 is input with the first signal S1, and the second electrode TE2 is input with the second signal S2. The touch time Tt has a first period Tp1 and a second period Tp2. For example, in the first period Tp1 of the touch time Tt, the first signal S1 transmitted by the first electrode TE1 may be the driving signal DS1, and the second signal S2 transmitted by the second electrode TE2 may be the sensing signal SS . That is, at this time, the first electrode TE1 may be a driving electrode, the second electrode TE2 may be a sensing electrode, and the touch panel 100 is operated in a mutual-capacitance sensing mode. It is worth mentioning that during the first period Tp1 of the touch time Tt, the auxiliary electrode AE may have a floating potential to avoid affecting the operation of the first electrode TE1 and the second electrode TE2 in the mutual capacitance sensing mode The electrical properties of the next.

進一步而言,於觸控時間Tt的第二時段Tp2內,第一電極TE1所傳遞的第一信號S1可以是驅動信號DS2,第二電極TE2所傳遞的第二信號S2可以是接地電位或固定電位。更具體地說,此時的觸控面板100是透過第一電極TE1的驅動與感測而操作在自容(self-capacitance)感測的模式下。值得注意的是,於觸控時間Tt的第二時段Tp2內,輔助電極AE被輸入第三信號S3,且此第三信號S3與第一信號S1(即驅動信號DS2)於時序上同步。據此,可有效降低觸控表面上具有浮置電位且非預期的導體(例如水滴)透過與顯示面板200的導電層(例如共通電極CE)之間的電容耦合效應(capacitive coupling effect)所產生的自容變化量,有助於提升觸控顯示裝置10的觸控辨識率。Further, in the second period Tp2 of the touch time Tt, the first signal S1 transmitted by the first electrode TE1 may be the driving signal DS2, and the second signal S2 transmitted by the second electrode TE2 may be ground potential or fixed Potential. More specifically, the touch panel 100 at this time is operated in a self-capacitance sensing mode through the driving and sensing of the first electrode TE1. It is worth noting that during the second time period Tp2 of the touch time Tt, the auxiliary electrode AE is input to the third signal S3, and the third signal S3 is synchronized with the first signal S1 (ie, the driving signal DS2) in timing. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively reduce the capacitive coupling effect (capacitive coupling effect) between the conductive layer (such as the common electrode CE) of the display panel 200 and the conductive layer (such as the common electrode CE) of the unintended conductor (such as water droplets) having a floating potential on the touch surface. The self-capacitance change of, helps to improve the touch recognition rate of the touch display device 10.

相似地,於觸控時間Tt的第三時段Tp3內,第一電極TE1所傳遞的第一信號S1可以是接地電位或固定電位,第二電極TE2所傳遞的第二信號S2可以是驅動信號DS3。更具體地說,此時的觸控面板100是透過第二電極TE2的驅動與感測而操作在自容感測的模式下。值得注意的是,於觸控時間Tt的第三時段Tp3內,輔助電極AE被輸入第四信號S4,且此第四信號S4與第二信號S2(即驅動信號DS3)於時序上同步。據此,可有效降低觸控表面上具有浮置電位且非預期的導體(例如水滴)透過與顯示面板200的導電層(例如共通電極CE)之間的電容耦合效應(capacitive coupling effect)所產生的自容變化量,有助於提升觸控顯示裝置10的觸控辨識率。Similarly, in the third period Tp3 of the touch time Tt, the first signal S1 transmitted by the first electrode TE1 may be a ground potential or a fixed potential, and the second signal S2 transmitted by the second electrode TE2 may be the driving signal DS3 . More specifically, the touch panel 100 at this time is operated in the self-capacitance sensing mode through the driving and sensing of the second electrode TE2. It is worth noting that during the third time period Tp3 of the touch time Tt, the auxiliary electrode AE is input to the fourth signal S4, and the fourth signal S4 and the second signal S2 (ie, the driving signal DS3) are synchronized in timing. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively reduce the capacitive coupling effect (capacitive coupling effect) between the conductive layer (such as the common electrode CE) of the display panel 200 and the conductive layer (such as the common electrode CE) of the unintended conductor (such as water droplets) having a floating potential on the touch surface. The self-capacitance change of, helps to improve the touch recognition rate of the touch display device 10.

特別一提的是,藉由上述第二時段Tp2與第三時段Tp3的自容感測,可辨識出具有浮置電位且非預期的導體(例如水滴)於觸控表面上的位置,並透過這些位置資訊將經由互容感測所取得的觸控訊息進行修正,以提高對於實施觸控的導體(例如手指)的辨識率。換句話說,可提升觸控顯示裝置10的觸控辨識率。值得一提的是,於觸控時間Tt內,透過第一電極TE1與第二電極TE2的自容感測,還可對於實施觸控的導體(例如手指)進行觸控位置的預掃描。據此,可減少互容感測時所需掃描的電極數,有助於縮減互容感測的操作時間。In particular, through the self-capacitive sensing in the second time period Tp2 and the third time period Tp3, the position of an unexpected conductor (such as a water droplet) with a floating potential on the touch surface can be identified, and through The position information will be corrected by the touch information obtained by mutual capacitance sensing, so as to improve the recognition rate of the conductor (for example, finger) that implements the touch. In other words, the touch recognition rate of the touch display device 10 can be improved. It is worth mentioning that during the touch time Tt, through the self-capacitance sensing of the first electrode TE1 and the second electrode TE2, the touch position of the conductor (for example, a finger) that implements the touch can also be pre-scanned. Accordingly, the number of electrodes to be scanned during mutual capacitance sensing can be reduced, which helps to reduce the operating time of mutual capacitance sensing.

需說明的是,本實施例的觸控時間Tt雖以第一時段Tp1、第二時段Tp2以及第三時段Tp3的先後順序呈現,但不表示本發明以此為限制。本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者應可理解的是,這些時段的排列順序可根據實際的設計需求而調整,例如:為了實現預掃描的功能,第二時段Tp2與第三時段Tp3的自容感測可早於第一時段Tp1的互容感測。It should be noted that although the touch time Tt in this embodiment is presented in the order of the first time period Tp1, the second time period Tp2, and the third time period Tp3, it does not mean that the present invention is limited thereto. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field of the present invention should understand that the sequence of these periods can be adjusted according to actual design requirements. For example, in order to achieve the pre-scan function, the second period Tp2 and the third period Tp3 are automatically set. The capacitance sensing may be earlier than the mutual capacitance sensing in the first period Tp1.

以下將列舉另一實施例以詳細說明本揭露,其中相同的構件將標示相同的符號,並且省略相同技術內容的說明,省略部分請參考前述實施例,以下不再贅述。Hereinafter, another embodiment will be listed to describe the disclosure in detail, wherein the same components will be marked with the same symbols, and the description of the same technical content will be omitted. For the omitted parts, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated hereafter.

圖5是本發明另一實施例的觸控顯示裝置的俯視示意圖。圖6是圖5的觸控顯示裝置的第一電極、第二電極與第一輔助電極於觸控時間內的輸入訊號的示意圖。圖7是圖5的觸控顯示裝置的第一電極、第二電極與第二輔助電極於觸控時間內的輸入訊號的示意圖。5 is a schematic top view of a touch display device according to another embodiment of the invention. 6 is a schematic diagram of input signals of the first electrode, the second electrode and the first auxiliary electrode of the touch display device of FIG. 5 during the touch time. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of input signals of the first electrode, the second electrode and the second auxiliary electrode of the touch display device of FIG. 5 during the touch time.

請參照圖5,本實施例的觸控顯示裝置20與圖1的觸控顯示裝置10的主要差異在於:觸控感測區與輔助電極的配置方式不同。具體而言,觸控顯示裝置20的觸控感測區TSR具有第一區TSR1與第二區TSR2,多個輔助電極包括位於第一區TSR1的多個第一輔助電極AE1以及位於第二區TSR2的多個第二輔助電極AE2,且這些第一輔助電極AE1電性獨立於這些第二輔助電極AE2。Referring to FIG. 5, the main difference between the touch display device 20 of this embodiment and the touch display device 10 of FIG. 1 is that the touch sensing area and the auxiliary electrode are arranged differently. Specifically, the touch sensing area TSR of the touch display device 20 has a first area TSR1 and a second area TSR2, and the plurality of auxiliary electrodes includes a plurality of first auxiliary electrodes AE1 located in the first area TSR1 and located in the second area A plurality of second auxiliary electrodes AE2 of TSR2, and these first auxiliary electrodes AE1 are electrically independent of these second auxiliary electrodes AE2.

在本實施例中,多個第一輔助電極AE1是透過多個連接電極CP1與多個連接部AEc1而電性導通於彼此,且透過連接走線CL1與位在周邊區PR的一個接腳(未繪示)電性連接。多個第二輔助電極AE2是透過多個連接電極CP2與多個連接部AEc2而電性導通於彼此,且透過另一連接走線CL2與位在周邊區PR的另一個接腳(未繪示)電性連接。換句話說,第一輔助電極AE1與第二輔助電極AE2各自可獨立地被控制。In this embodiment, the plurality of first auxiliary electrodes AE1 are electrically connected to each other through the plurality of connecting electrodes CP1 and the plurality of connecting portions AEc1, and through the connecting wiring CL1 and a pin located in the peripheral area PR ( Not shown) Electrical connection. The plurality of second auxiliary electrodes AE2 are electrically connected to each other through the plurality of connecting electrodes CP2 and the plurality of connecting portions AEc2, and are connected to another pin (not shown) located in the peripheral area PR through another connecting wire CL2 ) Electrical connection. In other words, each of the first auxiliary electrode AE1 and the second auxiliary electrode AE2 can be independently controlled.

以下將針對觸控顯示裝置20的驅動方式進行示例性地說明。請同時參照圖6及圖7,觸控顯示裝置20於時序上分別具有用於顯示畫面的顯示時間(未繪示)以及用於觸控感測的觸控時間Tt,且顯示時間與觸控時間Tt可於時序上交替設置。需說明的是,為清楚呈現與說明起見,圖6及圖7省略了觸控顯示裝置20的顯示時間的繪示。The driving method of the touch display device 20 will be exemplarily described below. 6 and 7 at the same time, the touch display device 20 has a display time (not shown) for displaying a screen and a touch time Tt for touch sensing in time sequence, and the display time and the touch The time Tt can be alternately set in timing. It should be noted that, for clarity of presentation and description, the display time of the touch display device 20 is omitted in FIGS. 6 and 7.

在本實施例中,於觸控時間Tt內,第一電極TE1被輸入第一信號S1,第二電極TE2被輸入第二信號S2。觸控時間Tt具有第一時段Tp1與第二時段Tp2。舉例而言,於觸控時間Tt的第一時段Tp1內,第一電極TE1所傳遞的第一信號S1可以是驅動信號DS1,第二電極TE2所傳遞的第二信號S2可以是感測信號SS。也就是說,此時的第一電極TE1可以是驅動電極,第二電極TE2可以是感測電極,而觸控面板100是操作在互容(mutual-capacitance)感測的模式下。值得一提的是,於觸控時間Tt的第一時段Tp1內,輔助電極AE可具有浮置電位(floating potential),以避免影響第一電極TE1與第二電極TE2操作在互容感測模式下的電性。In this embodiment, during the touch time Tt, the first electrode TE1 is input with the first signal S1, and the second electrode TE2 is input with the second signal S2. The touch time Tt has a first period Tp1 and a second period Tp2. For example, in the first period Tp1 of the touch time Tt, the first signal S1 transmitted by the first electrode TE1 may be the driving signal DS1, and the second signal S2 transmitted by the second electrode TE2 may be the sensing signal SS . That is, at this time, the first electrode TE1 may be a driving electrode, the second electrode TE2 may be a sensing electrode, and the touch panel 100 is operated in a mutual-capacitance sensing mode. It is worth mentioning that during the first period Tp1 of the touch time Tt, the auxiliary electrode AE may have a floating potential to avoid affecting the operation of the first electrode TE1 and the second electrode TE2 in the mutual capacitance sensing mode The electrical properties of the next.

進一步而言,於觸控時間Tt的第二時段Tp2內,第一電極TE1所傳遞的第一信號S1可以是驅動信號DS2,第二電極TE2所傳遞的第二信號S2可以是接地電位或固定電位。更具體地說,此時的觸控面板100是透過第一電極TE1的驅動與感測而操作在自容(self-capacitance)感測的模式下。Further, in the second period Tp2 of the touch time Tt, the first signal S1 transmitted by the first electrode TE1 may be the driving signal DS2, and the second signal S2 transmitted by the second electrode TE2 may be ground potential or fixed Potential. More specifically, the touch panel 100 at this time is operated in a self-capacitance sensing mode through the driving and sensing of the first electrode TE1.

值得注意的是,於觸控時間Tt的第二時段Tp2內,第一輔助電極AE1被輸入第三信號S3,且此第三信號S3與第一信號S1(即驅動信號DS2)於時序上同步。據此,可有效降低觸控表面上具有浮置電位且非預期的導體(例如水滴)透過與顯示面板的導電層(例如共通電極)之間的電容耦合效應(capacitive coupling effect)所產生的自容變化量,有助於提升觸控顯示裝置20的觸控辨識率。另一方面,於觸控時間Tt的第二時段Tp2內,第二輔助電極AE2所傳輸的第三信號S3A可以是接地電位或固定電位。舉例而言,第二輔助電極AE2所具有的固定電位可不同於第二電極TE2所具有的固定電位,但不以此為限。在其他實施例中,第二輔助電極AE2所具有的固定電位也可等於第二電極TE2所具有的固定電位。It is worth noting that during the second period Tp2 of the touch time Tt, the first auxiliary electrode AE1 is inputted with the third signal S3, and the third signal S3 is synchronized with the first signal S1 (ie, the driving signal DS2) in time sequence . According to this, it is possible to effectively reduce the capacitive coupling effect (capacitive coupling effect) generated by unexpected conductors (such as water droplets) with floating potential on the touch surface and the conductive layer (such as common electrodes) of the display panel. The amount of change in capacitance helps to improve the touch recognition rate of the touch display device 20. On the other hand, in the second period Tp2 of the touch time Tt, the third signal S3A transmitted by the second auxiliary electrode AE2 may be a ground potential or a fixed potential. For example, the fixed potential of the second auxiliary electrode AE2 may be different from the fixed potential of the second electrode TE2, but is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the fixed potential of the second auxiliary electrode AE2 may also be equal to the fixed potential of the second electrode TE2.

相似地,於觸控時間Tt的第三時段Tp3內,第一電極TE1所傳遞的第一信號S1可以是接地電位或固定電位,第二電極TE2所傳遞的第二信號S2可以是驅動信號DS3。更具體地說,此時的觸控顯示裝置20是透過第二電極TE2的驅動與感測而操作在自容感測的模式下。Similarly, in the third period Tp3 of the touch time Tt, the first signal S1 transmitted by the first electrode TE1 may be a ground potential or a fixed potential, and the second signal S2 transmitted by the second electrode TE2 may be the driving signal DS3 . More specifically, the touch display device 20 at this time is operated in the self-capacitance sensing mode through the driving and sensing of the second electrode TE2.

值得注意的是,於觸控時間Tt的第三時段Tp3內,第一輔助電極AE1被輸入第四信號S4A,且此第四信號S4A可具有接地電位或固定電位。舉例而言,第一輔助電極AE1所具有的固定電位可不同於第一電極TE1所具有的固定電位,但不以此為限。在其他實施例中,第一輔助電極AE1所具有的固定電位也可等於第一電極TE1所具有的固定電位。另一方面,於觸控時間Tt的第三時段Tp3內,第二輔助電極AE2所傳輸的第四信號S4與第二電極TE2所傳遞的第二信號S2(即驅動信號DS3)於時序上同步。據此,可有效降低觸控表面上具有浮置電位且非預期的導體(例如水滴)透過與顯示面板的導電層(例如共通電極)之間的電容耦合效應(capacitive coupling effect)所產生的自容變化量,有助於提升觸控顯示裝置20的觸控辨識率。It is worth noting that during the third period Tp3 of the touch time Tt, the first auxiliary electrode AE1 is inputted with the fourth signal S4A, and the fourth signal S4A may have a ground potential or a fixed potential. For example, the fixed potential of the first auxiliary electrode AE1 may be different from the fixed potential of the first electrode TE1, but is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the fixed potential of the first auxiliary electrode AE1 may also be equal to the fixed potential of the first electrode TE1. On the other hand, in the third period Tp3 of the touch time Tt, the fourth signal S4 transmitted by the second auxiliary electrode AE2 and the second signal S2 (ie, the driving signal DS3) transmitted by the second electrode TE2 are synchronized in timing. . According to this, it is possible to effectively reduce the capacitive coupling effect (capacitive coupling effect) generated by unexpected conductors (such as water droplets) with floating potential on the touch surface and the conductive layer (such as common electrodes) of the display panel. The amount of change in capacitance helps to improve the touch recognition rate of the touch display device 20.

特別一提的是,透過輔助電極的分區配置可降低輔助電極的整體阻值。同時,還可縮減輔助電極於時序上與兩電極的同步次數,例如:第一輔助電極AE1僅需要於第二時段Tp2內與第一電極TE1的傳輸信號同步,而無須在第三時段Tp3內與第二電極TE2的傳輸信號同步;相似地,第二輔助電極AE2僅需要於第三時段Tp3內與第二電極TE2的傳輸信號同步,而無須在第二時段Tp2內與第一電極TE1的傳輸信號同步。換句話說,還可降低輔助電極整體的操作功耗。In particular, the partition arrangement of the auxiliary electrode can reduce the overall resistance of the auxiliary electrode. At the same time, the number of times the auxiliary electrode is synchronized with the two electrodes in timing can be reduced. For example, the first auxiliary electrode AE1 only needs to be synchronized with the transmission signal of the first electrode TE1 in the second time period Tp2, and does not need to be in the third time period Tp3. Synchronize with the transmission signal of the second electrode TE2; similarly, the second auxiliary electrode AE2 only needs to be synchronized with the transmission signal of the second electrode TE2 in the third period Tp3, and does not need to be synchronized with the transmission signal of the first electrode TE1 in the second period Tp2. The transmission signal is synchronized. In other words, the overall operating power consumption of the auxiliary electrode can also be reduced.

需說明的是,在本實施例中,觸控感測區域的分區數量是以兩個為例進行示範性地說明,並不代表本發明以圖式揭示內容為限制。在其他實施例中,觸控感測區域的分區數量(或者是輔助電極的分群數量)也可根據實際的設計需求(例如輔助電極的阻值或操作功耗)而調整為三個。It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the number of partitions of the touch sensing area is exemplified by taking two as an example, which does not mean that the present invention is limited by the content of the drawings. In other embodiments, the number of partitions of the touch sensing area (or the number of groups of auxiliary electrodes) can also be adjusted to three according to actual design requirements (for example, the resistance of the auxiliary electrode or operating power consumption).
