The pressure touch device 10 with a metal trace includes an upper substrate 100 from top to bottom. a metal wiring layer 250, an insulating layer 260, a transparent touch electrode layer 200, an elastic dielectric material layer 400, a polarizing layer 320, a transparent pressure electrode layer 300, and a lower substrate 500, wherein the upper substrate has a first surface 100a and a second surface 100b; the metal trace layer 250 is disposed on the upper substrate 100 The second surface 100b includes a plurality of metal traces.

請參考圖1B~1C,為說明本創作之具金屬走線的壓力觸控裝置10其餘實現方式之示意圖。圖1B實施例大致與圖1A所示者類似,然在此實施例中,該透明壓力電極層300係為可具有偏光作用之透明壓力電極層300',該透明壓力電極300'係設置於彈性介電材料層400及該下基板500之間。參見圖1C,此實施例大致與圖1A所示者類似,然在此實施例中,該偏光層320與該透明壓力電極層300之位置交換,即該具金屬走線的壓力觸控裝置10由上而下之一上基板100、一金屬走線層250、一絕緣層260、一透明觸控電極層200、一彈性介電材料層400、一透明壓力電極層300、一偏光層320及一下基板500。 Please refer to FIG. 1B to FIG. 1C for a schematic diagram of the remaining implementations of the pressure touch device 10 with metal traces. The embodiment of FIG. 1B is substantially similar to that shown in FIG. 1A. However, in this embodiment, the transparent pressure electrode layer 300 is a transparent pressure electrode layer 300 ′ having a polarizing effect, and the transparent pressure electrode 300 ′ is disposed on the elastic layer. Between the dielectric material layer 400 and the lower substrate 500. Referring to FIG. 1C, this embodiment is substantially similar to that shown in FIG. 1A. However, in this embodiment, the position of the polarizing layer 320 and the transparent pressure electrode layer 300 is exchanged, that is, the metal touch screen pressure touch device 10 An upper substrate 100, a metal wiring layer 250, an insulating layer 260, a transparent touch electrode layer 200, an elastic dielectric material layer 400, a transparent pressure electrode layer 300, a polarizing layer 320, and The substrate 500 is next.

參見圖5A,為說明本創作一具體實例之具金屬走線的壓力觸控裝置10於觸控操作之之示意圖。該具金屬走線的壓力觸控裝置10例如可參見圖1C所示範例,但是在此省略偏光層320及下基板500,以簡化說明。如此圖所示,該透明觸控電極層200包含複數個透明觸控電極210,例如透明觸控電極TE21~TE28,但是須知此圖所示僅為一側視圖,因此透明觸控電極及分布方式不限於此。該具金屬走線的壓力觸控裝置10更包含一電容偵測電路50,該電容偵測電路50包含一電容激勵驅動電路52及一電容讀取電路54。 Referring to FIG. 5A, a schematic diagram of a touch control device with a metal trace in a touch operation is illustrated. For example, the pressure touch device 10 with a metal trace can be seen in the example shown in FIG. 1C, but the polarizing layer 320 and the lower substrate 500 are omitted here to simplify the description. As shown in the figure, the transparent touch electrode layer 200 includes a plurality of transparent touch electrodes 210, such as transparent touch electrodes TE21~TE28, but it should be understood that the figure is only a side view, so the transparent touch electrodes and the distribution manner Not limited to this. The metal touch control device 10 further includes a capacitance detecting circuit 50. The capacitance detecting circuit 50 includes a capacitive excitation driving circuit 52 and a capacitance reading circuit 54.

此電容激勵驅動電路52包含一訊號源520及一驅動器522,並依序或隨機將一觸控電容激勵訊號(stimulus signal)Vs施加於選定之透明觸控電極(例如透明觸控電極TE24)。此外電容激勵驅動電路52將該觸控電容激勵訊號Vs送至一同相放大器56,該同相放大器56之增益值較佳為一,以產生與該觸控電容激勵訊號Vs同相位之輔助訊號(auxiliary signal)Va,此輔助訊號Va施加於至少一個透明壓力電極。由於在至少一個透明壓力電極施加與該觸控電容激勵訊號Vs同相位之訊號,等效上即可在對應選定透明觸控電極TE24與至少一個透明壓力電極之間產生沒有電壓差或是幾乎沒有電壓差的狀態,亦即不會有電容產生或是僅有微量電容產生(不至於影響觸控感測結果之微量電容),即可避免在偵測對應選定透明觸控電極TE24之觸控操作時,因為彈性介電材料層400受壓翹曲而產生電容的干擾,同時亦阻絕了經由透明壓力電極與接地點間電容並聯效應引發之干擾。 The capacitive excitation driving circuit 52 includes a signal source 520 and a driver 522, and sequentially or randomly applies a touch capacitor excitation signal Vs to the selected transparent touch electrode (for example, the transparent touch electrode TE24). In addition, the capacitor excitation driving circuit 52 sends the touch capacitor excitation signal Vs to a non-inverting amplifier 56. The gain value of the non-inverting amplifier 56 is preferably one to generate an auxiliary signal in phase with the touch capacitor excitation signal Vs (auxiliary). Signal) Va, the auxiliary signal Va is applied to at least one transparent pressure electrode. Since at least one transparent pressure electrode applies a signal having the same phase as the touch capacitance excitation signal Vs, equivalently, no voltage difference or almost no difference can be generated between the corresponding selected transparent touch electrode TE24 and the at least one transparent pressure electrode. The state of the voltage difference, that is, no capacitance is generated or only a small amount of capacitance is generated (the micro-capacitance that does not affect the touch sensing result) can be avoided, and the touch operation corresponding to the selected transparent touch electrode TE24 can be avoided. At the same time, the interference of the capacitor due to the warpage of the elastic dielectric material layer 400 also hinders the interference caused by the parallel effect of the capacitance between the transparent pressure electrode and the grounding point.

參見圖5B,為說明依據本創作另一實施例之具金屬走線的壓力觸控裝置10用於觸控感測之操作狀況之示意圖。然在此實施例中,電容偵測電路50中用於產生輔助訊號Va之同相放大器56輸入係不連接到電容讀取電路54之檢測點P,例如可直接連接到訊號源520,以避免來自電容讀取電路54檢測點P之觸控感應訊號Vc1之影響。此外,該電容偵測電路50於觸控偵測操作時更將一與該觸控電容激勵訊號Vs同相位之反射訊號(圖中未示)施加於選定的該透明觸控電極TE24周遭之透明觸控電極,例如透明觸控電極TE21~TE23,TE25~TE28,以使感應電力線更集中在該選定的透明觸控電極TE24,增加感應之靈敏度。 FIG. 5B is a schematic diagram showing the operation state of the touch control device 10 with metal traces according to another embodiment of the present invention for touch sensing. In this embodiment, the input of the non-inverting amplifier 56 for generating the auxiliary signal Va in the capacitance detecting circuit 50 is not connected to the detecting point P of the capacitance reading circuit 54, for example, it can be directly connected to the signal source 520 to avoid coming from The capacitance reading circuit 54 detects the influence of the touch sensing signal Vc1 of the point P. In addition, the capacitance detecting circuit 50 applies a reflection signal (not shown) that is in phase with the touch capacitor excitation signal Vs to the selected transparent touch electrode TE24 during the touch detection operation. Touch electrodes, such as transparent touch electrodes TE21~TE23, TE25~TE28, are used to concentrate the inductive power line on the selected transparent touch electrode TE24 to increase the sensitivity of the sensing.

參見圖6,為依據本創作一實施例之具金屬走線的壓力觸控裝置10之部份上視圖,主要繪示透明觸控電極TE11~TE18,TE21~TE28,TE31~TE38、該些金屬走線254及該透明壓力電極310之由上至下分布狀況。如此圖所示,該些金屬走線254以平行排列的方式穿過整列透明觸控電極層200,使得該些金屬走線254 與該些透明觸控電極TE11~TE18,TE21~TE28,TE31~TE38一一互相電性連接,即每一條金屬走線254電性連接至其中一個透明觸控電極,且該些金屬走線254大致具有相同長度。換句話說,該些金屬走線254即使已經電性連接至其中一個透明觸控電極後,仍然穿過整列透明觸控電極層200以維持大致相同的長度。透明壓力電極層300例如包含兩個透明壓力電極310a,310b,且每一透明觸控電極TE11~TE18,TE21~TE28,TE31~TE38都相對於至少一個透明壓力電極310a或是310b,此處所謂之相對,為由投影角度觀之,每一透明觸控電極TE11~TE18,TE21~TE28,TE31~TE38都與至少一個透明壓力電極310部份重疊,或是鄰近至少一個透明壓力電極310,以達成前述的防止彈性介電材料層400受壓翹曲而產生電容的干擾之影響。例如對於上述之該選定透明觸控電極TE24而言,其相對的透明壓力電極即為透明壓力電極310a。上述之範例僅為說明本創作之一具體實施方式,而非對於本創作之限制。 6 is a top view of a pressure touch device 10 with a metal trace according to an embodiment of the present invention. The transparent touch electrodes TE11~TE18, TE21~TE28, TE31~TE38, and the metal are mainly shown. The distribution of the trace 254 and the transparent pressure electrode 310 from top to bottom. As shown in the figure, the metal traces 254 pass through the entire array of transparent touch electrode layers 200 in a parallel arrangement such that the metal traces 254 The transparent touch electrodes TE11~TE18, TE21~TE28, TE31~TE38 are electrically connected to each other, that is, each metal trace 254 is electrically connected to one of the transparent touch electrodes, and the metal traces 254 They have roughly the same length. In other words, the metal traces 254 pass through the entire array of transparent touch electrode layers 200 to maintain substantially the same length even after they have been electrically connected to one of the transparent touch electrodes. The transparent pressure electrode layer 300 includes, for example, two transparent pressure electrodes 310a, 310b, and each of the transparent touch electrodes TE11~TE18, TE21~TE28, TE31~TE38 is opposite to at least one transparent pressure electrode 310a or 310b. In contrast, each transparent touch electrode TE11~TE18, TE21~TE28, TE31~TE38 partially overlaps at least one transparent pressure electrode 310 or is adjacent to at least one transparent pressure electrode 310. The effect of preventing the interference of the capacitance caused by the warpage of the elastic dielectric material layer 400 is achieved.
