Description

说 明 书 红外触摸屏  Description book infrared touch screen
技术领域  Technical field
本发明涉及一种红外触摸屏。 背景技术  The invention relates to an infrared touch screen. Background technique
红外触摸屏因为工作稳定, 大量应用在各种恶劣环境中。  Infrared touch screens are used in a variety of harsh environments due to their stable operation.
通常, 红外触摸屏是安装在显示器的前面的一个电路板外框, 在电 路板外框的四条边上排布红外发射管和红外接收管, 一般情况下红外发 射管和红外接收管设置在边框的相对的两条边上, 从而形成交叉的红外 矩阵。 用户在触摸屏幕时, 手指就会挡住经过该位置的横竖红外线, 从 而判断出触摸点在屏幕的位置。  Generally, the infrared touch screen is a circuit board outer frame mounted on the front of the display, and the infrared transmitting tube and the infrared receiving tube are arranged on four sides of the outer frame of the circuit board. Generally, the infrared transmitting tube and the infrared receiving tube are disposed on the frame. Opposite the two sides, thus forming a crossed infrared matrix. When the user touches the screen, the finger blocks the horizontal and vertical infrared rays passing through the position, thereby judging the position of the touch point on the screen.
在使用红外触摸屏的过程中, 有时会遇到阳光直射红外触摸屏的红 外接收管的情况, 当在强光环境中, 强光直接照射红外接收管很容易造 成红外接收管的光饱和。 衡量红外触摸屏抗光性能的标准是 10 万 LUX (9mW/Cm2)时阳光的入射角度, 造成红外触摸屏的红外接收管光饱和的阳 光入射角度越小, 红外触摸屏的抗光性能越好。 In the process of using the infrared touch screen, sometimes the infrared receiving tube of the infrared direct touch screen is encountered in the sunlight. When the strong light directly illuminates the infrared receiving tube, the light of the infrared receiving tube is easily saturated. The standard for measuring the anti-light performance of infrared touch screen is the incident angle of sunlight when 100,000 LUX (9mW/ C m2) is used. The smaller the incident angle of sunlight saturated by the infrared receiving tube of the infrared touch screen, the better the anti-light performance of the infrared touch screen.
在现有技术中, 有的红外触摸屏, 为了抗强光, 采用红外接收管外 移的方法, 即在进行 PCB 布板时, 为了避免在强光环境下强光直接照射 红外接收管而造成红外接收管的光饱和, 因而在 PCB 布板时使得触摸屏 边框上设置的红外接收管尽量远离触摸检测区域而向边框外侧移动。  In the prior art, some infrared touch screens, in order to resist glare, use an infrared receiving tube to move outward, that is, when performing PCB layout, in order to avoid direct illumination of the infrared receiving tube under strong light conditions, infrared is caused. The light of the receiving tube is saturated, so that the infrared receiving tube disposed on the border of the touch screen is moved as far as possible from the touch detecting area to the outside of the frame when the PCB is laid.
为了进一步抗强光, 有的红外触摸屏还采用窄带滤光条的方法, 以 对强光进行过滤。  In order to further resist glare, some infrared touch screens also use narrow-band filter strips to filter bright light.
然而, 上述红外接收管外移和采用窄带滤光条的方法都具有局限性, 抗光效果不够理想。 因为一方面, 红外接收管外移会造成红外触摸屏的 边框的宽度变大, 红外接收管仅设置在边框的外侧, 造成边框内侧空间 的浪费。 另一方面, 现有的窄带滤光条长度都比较短, 整个触摸屏要使 用很多条拼接而成, 在拼接处, 对光路会有很大的损失, 并且在温度变 化时, 因为窄带滤光条膨胀系数与其它结构不一致, 也会造成窄带滤光 条与固定结构脱离等问题, 要根据触摸屏进行开模成本较高。 However, the above-mentioned method of shifting the infrared receiving tube and adopting the narrow-band filter strip has limitations, and the light-resisting effect is not ideal. Because on the one hand, the infrared receiving tube moves outward, which causes the width of the border of the infrared touch screen to become larger, and the infrared receiving tube is only disposed outside the frame, resulting in the space inside the frame. Waste. On the other hand, the existing narrow-band filter strips are relatively short in length, and the entire touch screen is formed by using a plurality of strips. At the joint, there is a great loss to the optical path, and when the temperature changes, because the narrow-band filter strips The expansion coefficient is inconsistent with other structures, which may also cause problems such as the separation of the narrow-band filter strip from the fixed structure, and the cost of opening the mold according to the touch screen is relatively high.
