  • Publication number: 20120162132
    Abstract: A capacitive touch screen is provided. Return-loop electrodes of touch signals are established on the capacitive touch screen or a product where the capacitive touch screen is applied, and touch detection electrodes for detecting changes of the touch signals and the touch return-loop electrodes are respectively connected to different output ends of a touch excitation source, so that a closed touch loop is formed by the touch excitation source, the touch detection electrodes, the touch return-loop electrodes, and coupling capacitances between the touch detection electrodes and the touch return-loop electrodes, and the touch signals flowing into the touch detection electrodes from the touch excitation source again flows back to the touch excitation source from the touch return-loop electrodes. Then, the touch system is isolated from other systems. Touch information is acquired by detecting the change of the current in the touch signals having specific frequencies or other specific characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20120113038
    Abstract: An active touch system is provided, in which sensing electroding units in an array and two groups of intersecting control electrodes and detecting lines are disposed on a touch substrate, and the detecting lines are connected to sensing electrodings through active devices. The control electrodes are used to control on and off of the active devices, and the detecting lines are used to apply touch excitation signals to the sensing electrodings, and detect a leakage current of a sensing electroding to a finger or other touch object. A position of the finger or other touch object on the touch substrate is found by determining a sensing electroding unit generating the leakage current. The method of obtaining touch signals is improved in the hardware sensing stage, so that the judgment procedure after detection is greatly simplified, and the judgment of multi-point touch becomes easy and natural.

  • Publication number: 20120062516
    Abstract: A touch control screen used in integration with a display panel and a touch with feedback system is provided. When an operator operates the touch with feedback system, sensing lines and a touch control unit detect a position touched by the operator, a touch feedback driving unit applies a specific electrical signal to touch feedback electrodes to transfer the electrical signal to a finger tip of the operator according to the touched position, so the operator acquires touch information. A display is overlaid on the touch control screen, a control circuit enables the touch feedback driving unit to apply different electrical signals on the touch feedback electrodes according to positions touched by the operator, different display elements, and different statuses of the display elements on a display picture, so the operator acquires the touch information such as a sense of a shape and texture of the display element.

  • Publication number: 20110102360
    Abstract: A touch screen flat panel display (FPD) is provided, which includes a display screen, a display driving circuit, a touch system circuit, and the like. Related circuits in the touch screen FPD enable electrodes of the display screen to transmit display driving signals as well as touch signals, that is to say, the display driving and the touch detection multiplex the electrodes of the display screen, such that the FPD is not only used for normal display but also used for realizing touch detection. By applying the touch signal simultaneously to detecting lines and non-detecting lines, the flow of the touch signal between the detecting lines and between the detecting line and the non-detecting line is reduced, thus controlling the flow direction of the touch signal, and increasing the accuracy of determining touched electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7802374
    Abstract: A capacitive digital caliper comprises a main beam and a slider, a rack and a gear are mounted on the main beam and the slider respectively. This gear system changes the linear position x on the main beam into angular position(?+2N?), and the angular position is measured by a capacitive measuring device. The capacitive measuring device of angular position is seally isolated from the rack and gear by a seal cavity and a seal member. Therefore, the caliper can be used under a poor condition at present of particulate and fluid contaminants. The present invention is particularly suitable for being used in the field of mechanical work.
