目前,隨著觸控屏技術之不斷進步,市面上大多數之電子產品之人機交互功能均採用觸控屏來實現,尤其係各類電子終端產品,例如手機、平板電腦、筆記本以及電子書等電子終端,大多數採用電容式觸控屏來進行人機交互。 Currently, with the continuous advancement of touch screen technology, most of the human-computer interaction functions of electronic products on the market are implemented using touch screens, especially various electronic terminal products, such as mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, and e-books. Most electronic terminals use capacitive touch screens for human-computer interaction.

並且,電子終端廠商為提供使用者更加優秀之應用體驗,所製造之電子終端產品之觸控屏之尺寸不斷擴大,以及對應之應用軟體亦需要更高精度之觸控檢測,因此製造了可與電容式觸控屏配套使用之電容式主動筆,並逐漸普及。 Moreover, in order to provide users with a better application experience, electronic terminal manufacturers have continuously expanded the size of the touch screens of the electronic terminal products they manufacture, and the corresponding application software also requires higher-precision touch detection. Therefore, they have manufactured products that can be used with The capacitive active pen used in conjunction with the capacitive touch screen has become increasingly popular.

請參考圖1,圖1為本申請提供之一種觸控屏之結構示意圖。其中,該觸控屏100包括多列驅動電極110(圖中示例為4列驅動電極110,每列包括6個相連之菱形驅動電極),以及多行接收電極120(圖中示例為5行接收電極120,每行包括5個相連之菱形接收電極)組成。每列之驅動電極110與每行之接收電極120之間絕緣正交。 Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a touch screen provided by the present application. The touch screen 100 includes multiple columns of driving electrodes 110 (the example in the figure is 4 columns of driving electrodes 110, each column includes 6 connected diamond-shaped driving electrodes), and multiple rows of receiving electrodes 120 (the example in the figure is 5 rows of receiving electrodes). Electrodes 120, each row includes 5 connected diamond-shaped receiving electrodes). The driving electrodes 110 of each column and the receiving electrodes 120 of each row are insulated and orthogonal to each other.

其中,每列之驅動電極110形成載波信號之發送通道,而每行之接收電極120形成載波信號之接收通道。於檢測觸控屏上之觸控點時,藉由驅動電 極110傳輸預設頻率之載波觸控信號,接收電極120與驅動電極110耦合形成節點互容。導體(如人體或觸控筆)靠近或接觸觸控屏時,主動筆會分別跟驅動電極與接收電極形成耦合電容,此時筆尖電極發送載波信號,觸控屏之驅動電極與接收電極分別接收來自筆尖電極之電荷資訊,轉換為數位信號傳輸至微處理器即可進行主動筆觸控點之檢測,從而計算出主動筆觸控點於觸控屏上之座標。 The driving electrodes 110 in each column form a transmission channel for the carrier signal, and the receiving electrodes 120 in each row form a receiving channel for the carrier signal. When detecting the touch point on the touch screen, by driving the circuit The electrode 110 transmits a carrier touch signal of a predetermined frequency, and the receiving electrode 120 and the driving electrode 110 are coupled to form node mutual capacitance. When a conductor (such as the human body or a stylus) approaches or touches the touch screen, the active pen will form a coupling capacitor with the driving electrode and receiving electrode respectively. At this time, the pen tip electrode sends a carrier signal, and the driving electrode and receiving electrode of the touch screen receive the signal from the touch screen respectively. The charge information of the pen tip electrode is converted into a digital signal and transmitted to the microprocessor to detect the active pen touch point, thereby calculating the coordinates of the active pen touch point on the touch screen.

請參考圖2,為本申請提供之一種觸控屏及主動筆之信號傳輸示意圖。其中,主動筆220可向觸控屏210傳輸下行信號,觸控屏210可向主動筆220傳輸上行信號。 Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of signal transmission between a touch screen and an active pen provided in this application. The active pen 220 can transmit downlink signals to the touch screen 210 , and the touch screen 210 can transmit uplink signals to the active pen 220 .

該主動筆220內部設置有電源、下行信號生成模組、上行信號檢測模組以及壓力檢測模組等。而觸控屏210檢測主動筆220之筆尖觸控點位置之過程包括:主動筆220藉由下行信號生成模組生成下行信號,於筆尖接觸到觸控屏210時,將該下行信號傳輸至觸控屏210之觸點位置上之觸控電極;而觸控屏210之觸控電極與主動筆220之筆尖形成耦合電容,從而使觸控電極產生與下行信號相對應之電荷資訊,觸控屏210藉由上述之互容檢測過程,即可將主動筆220之筆尖於觸控屏上之位置計算出來。其中,該下行信號之發送時間、頻率、波形以及幅度等藉由協定來進行約束,從而使觸控屏210可以區別出主動筆220以及手指觸控,使主動筆220以及手指觸控可以協同操作。 The active pen 220 is internally provided with a power supply, a downlink signal generation module, an uplink signal detection module, a pressure detection module, etc. The process of the touch screen 210 detecting the touch point position of the pen tip of the active pen 220 includes: the active pen 220 generates a downlink signal through the downlink signal generation module, and when the pen tip touches the touch screen 210, the downlink signal is transmitted to the touch screen. The touch electrodes at the contact positions of the control screen 210; and the touch electrodes of the touch screen 210 and the tip of the active pen 220 form a coupling capacitance, so that the touch electrodes generate charge information corresponding to the downlink signal, and the touch screen 210 Through the above mutual tolerance detection process, the position of the pen tip of the active pen 220 on the touch screen can be calculated. Among them, the transmission time, frequency, waveform and amplitude of the downlink signal are restricted by the agreement, so that the touch screen 210 can distinguish the active pen 220 and finger touch, so that the active pen 220 and finger touch can operate together. .

而觸控屏210需要向主動筆220發送上行信號進行通信。如傳輸上行信號係為通知主動筆220調整下行信號之參數,此外上行信號充當了給主動筆220提供了時間窗同步信號之功能。例如,於觸控屏210之微處理器或者觸控晶片檢測到主動筆220發送之下行信號之頻率受到干擾時,微處理器或者觸控晶片需要藉由上行信號通知主動筆220進行跳頻以避開干擾頻點,從而提升主動筆220下行信號之信噪比,保持對筆尖位置檢測之精度。其中,上行信號藉由特定之編碼方式將相關資訊,例如觸控晶片類型、跳頻資訊、檢測視窗配置資訊等, 藉由觸控電極與主動筆220之筆尖形成耦合電容,從而將資訊以電荷資訊之方式傳遞給主動筆220。 The touch screen 210 needs to send an uplink signal to the active pen 220 for communication. For example, the uplink signal is transmitted to notify the active pen 220 to adjust the parameters of the downlink signal. In addition, the uplink signal serves as a time window synchronization signal for the active pen 220 . For example, when the microprocessor or touch chip of the touch screen 210 detects that the frequency of the downlink signal sent by the active pen 220 is interfered, the microprocessor or touch chip needs to notify the active pen 220 to perform frequency hopping through the uplink signal. Avoid interference frequency points, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the downlink signal of the active pen 220 and maintaining the accuracy of pen tip position detection. Among them, the uplink signal uses a specific encoding method to encode relevant information, such as touch chip type, frequency hopping information, detection window configuration information, etc. The touch electrode and the tip of the active pen 220 form a coupling capacitance, thereby transmitting information to the active pen 220 in the form of charge information.

The encapsulation layer 350 is used to seal the light-emitting diode layer 330 to isolate water vapor, and covers the cathode layer 340 . The touch electrode layer 360 is disposed on the packaging layer 350. The touch electrode layer 360 may include receiving electrodes and driving electrodes. The protective layer 370 covers the touch electrode layer 360 to protect the touch electrode layer 360, and may be an insulating material. Among them, the above-mentioned stacked structure of the touch screen can be applied to a flexible touch screen.

請參考圖4,為本申請提供之一種習知之觸控屏上行信號之示意圖。其中,該觸控屏300包括上述觸控電極層360中之驅動電極所組成之第一上行信號發送通道TX1、TX2、TX3、TX4、TX5以及TX6,接收電極所組成之第二上行信號發送通道RX1、RX2、RX3、RX4、RX5、RX6、RX7以及RX8。習知技術中之觸控屏300於傳輸上行信號至主動筆時,會以相同之載波信號驅動所有第一上行信號發送通道以及第二上行信號發送通道,即於所有之觸控電極上驅動相同之載波信號。 Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram of a conventional touch screen uplink signal provided by the present application. The touch screen 300 includes first uplink signal transmission channels TX1, TX2, TX3, TX4, TX5 and TX6 composed of the driving electrodes in the touch electrode layer 360, and a second uplink signal transmission channel composed of the receiving electrodes. RX1, RX2, RX3, RX4, RX5, RX6, RX7 and RX8. When the touch screen 300 in the conventional technology transmits the uplink signal to the active pen, it will drive all the first uplink signal transmission channels and the second uplink signal transmission channel with the same carrier signal, that is, the same carrier wave signal will be driven on all the touch electrodes. the carrier signal.

然而,上述之該種層疊結構之觸控屏,其封裝層350隔絕了陰極層340以及觸控電極層360,會使陰極層340以及觸控電極層360於封裝層350中形成非常大之寄生電容,如圖3中之Ctx為驅動電極與陰極層340形成之寄生電容,而Crx為接收電極與陰極層340形成之寄生電容,Cp1係主動筆與驅動電極形成之耦合電容,Cp2係主動筆與接收電極形成之耦合電容,Cm係驅動電極與接收電極形成之互容電容。如上述圖4中習知技術中之上行信號傳輸方式,由於所有之接收電極以及驅動電極傳輸相同之載波信號,即傳輸相同電壓波形之上行信號,會使寄生電容Ctx以及Crx耦合非常多之電荷至陰極層340。陰極層340中之電極本身存在一定之電阻,因此電荷會使陰極層340產生一定之Ripple電壓。由於陰極層340係發光二極體進行顯示之公共電極,該Ripple電壓(Ripple電壓,波紋電壓)將會影響發光二極體之正常工作,從而影響觸控屏300之顯示效果,例如使觸控屏之畫面顯示水波紋,或者於顯示純色畫面時導致顏色顯示不均勻。即習知技術之傳輸上行信號至主動筆之方法,會影響觸控屏之顯示效果。 However, in the touch screen with the above-mentioned stacked structure, the encapsulation layer 350 isolates the cathode layer 340 and the touch electrode layer 360, which will cause the cathode layer 340 and the touch electrode layer 360 to form a very large parasitic in the encapsulation layer 350. Capacitance, Ctx in Figure 3 is the parasitic capacitance formed by the driving electrode and the cathode layer 340, and Crx is the parasitic capacitance formed by the receiving electrode and the cathode layer 340, Cp1 is the coupling capacitance formed by the active pen and the driving electrode, and Cp2 is the active pen The coupling capacitance formed with the receiving electrode, Cm is the mutual capacitance formed by the driving electrode and the receiving electrode. As shown in Figure 4 above, in the conventional uplink signal transmission method, since all the receiving electrodes and driving electrodes transmit the same carrier signal, that is, the uplink signal with the same voltage waveform, the parasitic capacitances Ctx and Crx will couple a lot of charges. to cathode layer 340. The electrodes in the cathode layer 340 themselves have a certain resistance, so the charges will cause the cathode layer 340 to generate a certain Ripple voltage. Since the cathode layer 340 is the common electrode used by the light-emitting diodes for display, the Ripple voltage (ripple voltage) will affect the normal operation of the light-emitting diodes, thereby affecting the display effect of the touch screen 300, such as causing the touch The screen shows water ripples, or causes uneven color display when displaying a solid color screen. That is, the conventional method of transmitting uplink signals to the active pen will affect the display effect of the touch screen.

本申請實施例提供一種信號傳輸方法,應用於觸控屏,或應用於包括有觸控屏之觸控設備,用以使觸控屏於傳輸上行信號至主動筆時,不會影響觸控屏顯示效果。 Embodiments of the present application provide a signal transmission method that is applied to a touch screen or a touch device including a touch screen, so that the touch screen does not affect the touch screen when transmitting uplink signals to the active pen.

請參考圖5,為本申請實施例提供之一種信號傳輸方法之流程示意圖。其中,該信號傳輸方法應用於觸控屏,或應用於包括有觸控屏之觸控設備,觸控屏包括觸控電極,該方法包括: Please refer to FIG. 5 , which is a schematic flowchart of a signal transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, the signal transmission method is applied to a touch screen or a touch device including a touch screen. The touch screen includes touch electrodes. The method includes:

步驟S51:獲取觸控筆於觸控屏上之當前觸點。 Step S51: Obtain the current contact point of the stylus on the touch screen.

本申請實施例中,上述觸控設備包括手機、平板電腦以及筆記型電腦等包括有觸控屏之電子設備,使用者藉由手指或者觸控筆等點擊觸控屏,或者於觸控屏上進行滑動操作,從而與電子設備進行人機交互。其中,該觸控 屏中包括有觸控電極,觸控電極分為接收電極以及驅動電極,其詳細之結構以及原理性之說明可以參考前述圖1至圖3以及相應之內容,這裡不再贅述。 In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned touch devices include mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers and other electronic devices including touch screens. The user clicks on the touch screen with a finger or a stylus, or clicks on the touch screen. Perform sliding operations to interact with electronic devices. Among them, the touch The screen includes touch electrodes, which are divided into receiving electrodes and driving electrodes. For detailed structure and principle description, please refer to the aforementioned Figures 1 to 3 and the corresponding content, and will not be repeated here.

其中,上述當前觸點即觸控筆之筆尖於觸控屏上之位置。當觸控筆之筆尖接觸觸控屏時,觸點位置上之觸控電極將會產生電荷資訊,觸控屏之觸控晶片藉由獲取之觸控電極之電荷資訊,根據該電荷資訊計算出當前觸點之位置,即計算出觸點於觸控屏上之座標。該觸控筆為主動筆時,可以藉由筆尖傳輸下行型號至觸點位置上之觸控電極,藉由下行信號可以進一步提高獲取當前觸點之準確度,以及使觸控屏可以區分手指以及觸控筆。 Wherein, the above-mentioned current contact point is the position of the tip of the stylus on the touch screen. When the tip of the stylus touches the touch screen, the touch electrode at the contact point will generate charge information. The touch chip of the touch screen obtains the charge information of the touch electrode and calculates a calculation based on the charge information. The current position of the touch point is calculated as the coordinates of the touch point on the touch screen. When the stylus is an active pen, it can transmit the downward signal to the touch electrode at the contact position through the pen tip. The downward signal can further improve the accuracy of obtaining the current contact point, and the touch screen can distinguish between fingers and Stylus.

步驟S52:根據當前觸點確定所述觸控屏上之第一區域及第二區域,第一區域包括當前觸點,第一區域以及第二區域均不重疊。 Step S52: Determine the first area and the second area on the touch screen according to the current touch point. The first area includes the current touch point, and the first area and the second area do not overlap.

本申請實施例中,觸控屏於獲取到當前觸點後,亦即獲取到觸控筆之筆尖位於觸控屏上之座標後,觸控屏將根據該座標劃分出觸控屏上之第一區域、第二區域。其中,第一區域包括當前觸點,即該第一區域之面積要大於當前觸點之面積,以便於完全將當前觸點包括於裡面,於藉由第一區域傳輸上行信號至觸控筆時,可以提高其信號傳輸之信噪比。 In the embodiment of the present application, after the touch screen obtains the current touch point, that is, after obtaining the coordinates of the tip of the stylus on the touch screen, the touch screen will divide the first point on the touch screen based on the coordinates. First area, second area. Among them, the first area includes the current contact point, that is, the area of the first area is larger than the area of the current contact point, so as to completely include the current contact point inside, when the uplink signal is transmitted to the stylus through the first area. , which can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of its signal transmission.

而第一區域以及第二區域不重疊,即第一區域以及第二區域中之第一上行信號發送通道與第二上行信號發送通道均不相同,第一上行信號發送通道由其中一列驅動電極組成,第二上行信號發送通道由其中一行接收電極組成,具體之第一上行信號發送通道與第二上行信號發送通道之示例可以參考前述之圖4以及相應之內容。 The first area and the second area do not overlap, that is, the first uplink signal transmission channel and the second uplink signal transmission channel in the first area and the second area are different, and the first uplink signal transmission channel is composed of one column of driving electrodes. , the second uplink signal transmission channel is composed of one row of receiving electrodes. For specific examples of the first uplink signal transmission channel and the second uplink signal transmission channel, please refer to the aforementioned Figure 4 and the corresponding content.

步驟S53:控制第一區域之觸控電極傳輸上行信號,控制第二區域之觸控電極傳輸反相信號。 Step S53: Control the touch electrodes in the first area to transmit uplink signals, and control the touch electrodes in the second area to transmit inverse signals.

其中,上行信號用以傳輸至觸控筆,以與觸控筆進行通信,反相信號之相位與上行信號之相位相反。 Among them, the uplink signal is used to transmit to the stylus to communicate with the stylus, and the phase of the inverted signal is opposite to the phase of the uplink signal.

本申請實施例中,觸控屏將於第一區域之觸控電極上驅動上行信號,即藉由觸控晶片向第一區域之觸控電極傳輸上行信號,由於此時觸控筆之筆尖觸點於第一區域內,因此觸控筆可以接收到該上行信號,從而完成觸控屏向觸控筆之通信。 In the embodiment of the present application, the touch screen will drive the uplink signal on the touch electrode in the first area, that is, transmit the uplink signal to the touch electrode in the first area through the touch chip, because the tip of the stylus touches the Click in the first area, so the stylus can receive the uplink signal, thereby completing communication from the touch screen to the stylus.

與此同時,觸控屏將於第二區域之觸控電極上驅動反相信號,該反相信號之相位與上行信號之相位相反,即該反相信號同樣會導致觸控屏之陰極層產生一定之電壓,具體原理性說明可以參考前述內容。因此,載入有上行信號之通道耦合到陰極層之電荷量跟載入有反相信號之通道耦合到陰極層之電荷量能夠接近抵消,最大限度地減輕了觸控對顯示之干擾。假設同一時間上行信號導致觸控屏之陰極層產生第一電壓,反相信號導致觸控屏之陰極層產生第二電壓,第一電壓與第二電壓於同一時間段內之相位亦係相反的,因此可以相互抵消,使觸控屏於傳輸上行信號時,不會影響顯示效果。並且,相比於全屏之觸控電極去傳輸上行信號,分區域載入信號之功率更低。 At the same time, the touch screen will drive an inverted signal on the touch electrode in the second area. The phase of the inverted signal is opposite to the phase of the uplink signal. That is, the inverted signal will also cause the cathode layer of the touch screen to generate A certain voltage, please refer to the above content for specific principle explanation. Therefore, the amount of charge coupled to the cathode layer from the channel loaded with the uplink signal and the amount of charge coupled to the cathode layer from the channel loaded with the reverse signal can be nearly offset, minimizing the interference of touch on the display. Assume that at the same time, the uplink signal causes the cathode layer of the touch screen to generate a first voltage, and the inverted signal causes the cathode layer of the touch screen to generate a second voltage. The phases of the first voltage and the second voltage in the same time period are also opposite. , so they can cancel each other out, so that the touch screen will not affect the display effect when transmitting uplink signals. Moreover, compared to using full-screen touch electrodes to transmit uplink signals, the power of loading signals in sub-regions is lower.

具體原理性說明如下: The specific principle explanation is as follows:

請參考圖6,圖6為本申請實施例提供之一種觸控屏中之信號對比圖,圖中包括上行信號V,觸控電極與陰極層之間之寄生電容之電流信號I,以及上行信號導致陰極層產生之電壓信號V(Cathode)。可以發現,當上行信號傳輸到觸控電極上,由於觸控電極與陰極層之間存在寄生電容,於上行信號V之上升沿階段,電流信號I會透過寄生電容耦合到陰極層上,電流信號I之方向為從觸控電極流到陰極層上(正向電流),由於陰極層存在電阻,該電流信號I會透過陰極層之電阻流到陰極層之驅動端,從而於陰極層形成正向電壓。同理,於上行信號V之下降沿階段,則電流信號I之方向為從陰極層流到觸控電極(反向電流),從而於陰極層形成反向電壓。 Please refer to Figure 6. Figure 6 is a signal comparison diagram in a touch screen according to an embodiment of the present application. The figure includes an uplink signal V, a current signal I of the parasitic capacitance between the touch electrode and the cathode layer, and an uplink signal. Resulting in the voltage signal V (Cathode) generated by the cathode layer. It can be found that when the uplink signal is transmitted to the touch electrode, due to the parasitic capacitance between the touch electrode and the cathode layer, during the rising edge stage of the uplink signal V, the current signal I will be coupled to the cathode layer through the parasitic capacitance. The direction of I is from the touch electrode to the cathode layer (forward current). Due to the resistance of the cathode layer, the current signal I will flow through the resistance of the cathode layer to the driving end of the cathode layer, thereby forming a forward current on the cathode layer. voltage. Similarly, during the falling edge stage of the uplink signal V, the direction of the current signal I is from the cathode layer to the touch electrode (reverse current), thereby forming a reverse voltage on the cathode layer.

而於同一時間裡面,於第二區域之觸控電極上驅動反相信號,即於上行信號為上升沿階段時,該反相信號為下降沿階段,而於上行信號為下降沿階段時,該反相信號為上升沿階段,則上行信號耦合到陰極層之電流信號與反相信號耦合到陰極層之電流信號互相抵消,從而使陰極層消除上行信號傳輸時所導致之電壓,從而使觸控屏於傳輸上行信號時,減輕了對顯示效果之干擾。 At the same time, an inverted signal is driven on the touch electrode in the second area. That is, when the uplink signal is in the rising edge stage, the inverted signal is in the falling edge stage, and when the uplink signal is in the falling edge stage, the inverted signal is driven in the falling edge stage. When the inverse signal is in the rising edge stage, the current signal coupled by the uplink signal to the cathode layer and the current signal coupled by the inverse signal to the cathode layer cancel each other out, so that the cathode layer eliminates the voltage caused by the uplink signal transmission, thereby making the touch The screen reduces interference to the display effect when transmitting uplink signals.

其中,上行信號之等效電荷量等於反相信號之等效電荷量。即為滿足上行信號能與反相信號之電荷抵消原則,於第一區域之所有觸控電極上傳輸之上行信號之等效電荷,與第二區域之所有觸控電極上傳輸之反相信號之等效電荷相等。為滿足該電荷抵消原則,本申請提出以下幾種方案: Among them, the equivalent charge amount of the uplink signal is equal to the equivalent charge amount of the inverted signal. That is, in order to satisfy the charge cancellation principle of the uplink signal energy and the inverted signal, the equivalent charge of the uplink signal transmitted on all the touch electrodes in the first area is equal to the equivalent charge of the inverted signal transmitted on all the touch electrodes in the second area. The equivalent charges are equal. In order to satisfy this charge cancellation principle, this application proposes the following solutions:

請參考圖7,為本申請實施例提供之一種觸控屏驅動上行信號之示意圖。其中,該觸控屏700包括觸控電極層中之驅動電極所組成之第一信號通道TX1、TX2、TX3、TX4、TX5以及TX6,接收電極所組成之第二信號通道RX1、RX2、RX3、RX4、RX5、RX6、RX7以及RX8。可以理解之係,該驅動電極藉由協議控制,於傳輸載波信號以及傳輸上行信號之間切換,即分時複用,同理,該接收電極亦藉由協議控制,於接收載波信號以及傳輸上行信號之間切換。 Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram of a touch screen driving uplink signal according to an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the touch screen 700 includes first signal channels TX1, TX2, TX3, TX4, TX5 and TX6 composed of driving electrodes in the touch electrode layer, and second signal channels RX1, RX2, RX3 composed of receiving electrodes. RX4, RX5, RX6, RX7 and RX8. It can be understood that the driving electrode is controlled by the protocol to switch between transmitting the carrier signal and transmitting the uplink signal, that is, time division multiplexing. Similarly, the receiving electrode is also controlled by the protocol to receive the carrier signal and transmit the uplink signal. Switch between signals.

本申請實施例中,如圖7所示,為滿足上述電荷抵消原則,觸控屏700可以藉由控制第二區域720之第一信號通道與第二信號通道之數量,大於第一區域710之第一信號通道與第二信號通道之數量,而上行信號之電壓幅度大於反相信號之電壓幅度。即觸控屏700於劃分區域時,控制第二區域720之觸控電極之數量大於第一區域710之觸控電極之數量,上行信號之電壓幅度大於反相信號之電壓幅度。 In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 7 , in order to satisfy the above charge cancellation principle, the touch screen 700 can control the number of the first signal channel and the second signal channel in the second area 720 to be larger than that in the first area 710 . The number of the first signal channel and the second signal channel, and the voltage amplitude of the uplink signal is greater than the voltage amplitude of the inverted signal. That is, when the touch screen 700 is divided into regions, the number of touch electrodes in the second region 720 is greater than the number of touch electrodes in the first region 710, and the voltage amplitude of the uplink signal is greater than the voltage amplitude of the inverted signal.

其中,以觸控屏700藉由控制傳輸信號之通道數量為例,如圖7中之第一區域710用到信號通道TX5以及RX3,而第二區域720用到信號通道TX1、TX2、RX7以及RX8,即第二區域720之信號通道數量大於第一區域710之信號通 道數量,並且當上行信號之電壓幅度為反相信號之電壓幅度之兩倍時,第二區域720之信號通道數量則為第一區域710之兩倍,從而實現電荷抵消。 Among them, taking the touch screen 700 as an example by controlling the number of channels for transmitting signals, the first area 710 in Figure 7 uses signal channels TX5 and RX3, and the second area 720 uses signal channels TX1, TX2, RX7 and RX8, that is, the number of signal channels in the second area 720 is greater than the number of signal channels in the first area 710. The number of channels, and when the voltage amplitude of the uplink signal is twice the voltage amplitude of the inverted signal, the number of signal channels in the second area 720 is twice that of the first area 710, thereby achieving charge cancellation.

於觸控屏700傳輸上行信號至觸控筆時,為增加上行信號之信噪比,上行信號通常採用電壓幅度較高之信號,例如於觸控屏700中可以設置有電荷泵電路將供電電壓提升至兩倍甚至更高之倍數,去驅動上行信號。與此相反,反相信號則可以採用電壓幅度較低之信號,傳輸至更多之觸控電極或者信號通道以滿足電荷抵消原則,從而可以降低反相信號於驅動時之功耗,從而降低觸控屏700之功耗。 When the touch screen 700 transmits an uplink signal to the stylus, in order to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the uplink signal, the uplink signal usually uses a signal with a higher voltage amplitude. For example, a charge pump circuit can be provided in the touch screen 700 to convert the supply voltage Increase it to a multiple of twice or even higher to drive upward signals. On the contrary, the inverse signal can use a signal with a lower voltage amplitude and transmit it to more touch electrodes or signal channels to satisfy the charge cancellation principle, thereby reducing the power consumption of the inverse signal when driving, thereby reducing the touch The power consumption of the control screen 700.

請參考圖8,為本申請實施例提供之一種觸控屏驅動上行信號之示意圖。其中,該觸控屏800包括觸控電極層中之驅動電極所組成之第一信號通道TX1、TX2、TX3、TX4、TX5以及TX6,接收電極所組成之第二信號通道RX1、RX2、RX3、RX4、RX5、RX6、RX7以及RX8。 Please refer to FIG. 8 , which is a schematic diagram of a touch screen driving uplink signal according to an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the touch screen 800 includes first signal channels TX1, TX2, TX3, TX4, TX5 and TX6 composed of driving electrodes in the touch electrode layer, and second signal channels RX1, RX2, RX3 composed of receiving electrodes. RX4, RX5, RX6, RX7 and RX8.

本申請實施例中,如圖8所示,為滿足上述電荷抵消原則,觸控屏800可以藉由控制第二區域820之第一信號通道與第二信號通道之數量,少於第一區域810之第一信號通道與第二信號通道之數量,上行信號之電壓幅度小於反相信號之電壓幅度。即觸控屏800於劃分區域時,控制第二區域820之觸控電極之數量少於第一區域810之觸控電極之數量,上行信號之電壓幅度小於反相信號之電壓幅度。 In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 8 , in order to satisfy the above charge cancellation principle, the touch screen 800 can control the number of first signal channels and second signal channels in the second area 820 to be less than that in the first area 810 The number of the first signal channel and the second signal channel is such that the voltage amplitude of the uplink signal is smaller than the voltage amplitude of the inverted signal. That is, when the touch screen 800 is divided into regions, the number of touch electrodes in the second region 820 is smaller than the number of touch electrodes in the first region 810, and the voltage amplitude of the uplink signal is smaller than the voltage amplitude of the inverted signal.

其中,以觸控屏800藉由控制傳輸信號之通道數量為例,如圖8中之第一區域810用到信號通道TX5、TX6、RX2以及RX3,而第二區域820用到信號通道TX1以及RX8,即第二區域820之信號通道數量小於第一區域810之信號通到數量,並且第二區域820之信號通道數量為第一區域810之一半,為滿足電荷抵消原則,則上行信號之電壓幅度則為反相信號之電壓幅值之一半。 Among them, taking the touch screen 800 as an example by controlling the number of channels for transmitting signals, the first area 810 in Figure 8 uses signal channels TX5, TX6, RX2 and RX3, and the second area 820 uses signal channels TX1 and RX3. RX8, that is, the number of signal channels in the second area 820 is less than the number of signal channels in the first area 810, and the number of signal channels in the second area 820 is half of the first area 810. In order to satisfy the charge cancellation principle, the voltage of the uplink signal The amplitude is half the voltage amplitude of the inverted signal.

即本申請實施例中,反相信號還可以採用電壓幅值較高之信號,例如同樣可以於觸控屏800中設置有電荷泵電路將供電電壓提升至兩倍甚至更高之倍數,去驅動反相信號。而電壓幅度較高之反相信號能更快之藉由寄生電容耦合至陰極層,從而更快之抵消上行信號藉由寄生電容耦合至陰極層之電壓,消除對觸控屏顯示之影響。 That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the inverse signal can also use a signal with a higher voltage amplitude. For example, a charge pump circuit can also be provided in the touch screen 800 to increase the supply voltage to twice or even a higher multiple to drive the touch screen 800 . Inverse signal. The inverse signal with a higher voltage amplitude can be coupled to the cathode layer through parasitic capacitance faster, thereby more quickly canceling out the voltage of the uplink signal coupled to the cathode layer through parasitic capacitance, eliminating the impact on the touch screen display.

本申請實施例中,上述觸控屏於控制劃分區域時,還可以控制劃分之第一區域與第二區域之間間隔預設距離,係為於第一區域驅動上行信號時,能讓觸控筆接收信噪比較高之上行信號,避免反相信號對上行信號之干擾。而該預設距離具體距離值受不同型號觸控屏或者觸控屏尺寸等因素之影響,藉由試驗可以找出最佳之預設距離,這裡不做限定。於最佳之預設距離下既能降低反向信號對上行信號之干擾,還能以較快之速度消除上行信號傳輸時所導致之陰極層之電壓。 In the embodiment of the present application, when controlling the divided area, the above-mentioned touch screen can also control the preset distance between the divided first area and the second area, so that when the first area drives the uplink signal, the touch screen can The pen receives uplink signals with a high signal-to-noise ratio to avoid interference from inverted signals on uplink signals. The specific distance value of the preset distance is affected by factors such as different models of touch screens or touch screen sizes.
