Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a touch device, and more particularly to an optical touch device and a light source assembly thereof.

BACKGROUND

Touch function has become one of the essential features of many today's electronic devices, and touch device is one of the common electronic devices capable of realizing the touch function. Basically, the present touch devices are categorized to: resistive type, capacitive type and optical type. Thus, various electronic devices can adopt various types of touch device based on different touch requirements.

FIG. 1 is a schematic structure view of a conventional optical touch device. As shown, the conventional optical touch device 100 includes a light guide set 110, a light emitting component 120 and a light sensing component 130. The light guide set 110 includes two light guide strips 112a, 112b and a strip mirror 114. The light guide strips 112a, 112b and the strip mirror 114 are arranged respectively along three of four sides of a rectangular trajectory; wherein the light guide strip 112a is configured to be opposite to the strip mirror 114, the light guide strips 112b is configured to be connected between the light guide strip 112a and the strip mirror 114, and the area within the rectangular trajectory is defined as a sensing area 116. In addition, the light emitting component 120 is disposed between the two adjacent ends of the light guide strips 112a, 112b and configured to provide lights to inside the light guide strips 112a, 112b. The light guide strips 112a, 112b each is configured to direct the lights from the light emitting component 120 to the sensing area 116. The light sensing component 130 is disposed near to one end of the light guide strip 112a and configured to have a field of view (FOV) of the entire sensing area 116.

The light sensing component 130 is configured to detect a light-blocking object in the sensing area 116 and determine the light-blocking object' position. As shown in FIG. 1, for example, a touch point (or, light-blocking object) A is located in the sensing area 116, and a corresponding mirroring point A1 is formed on the strip mirror 114. Accordingly, a dark point A2, derived from the touch point A, and a dark point A3, derived from the mirroring point A1, are generated. Through detecting the two dark points A2, A3, the light sensing component 130 can obtain the distances d1, d2. And thus, the position (or, coordinate) of the touch point A can be obtained from the distances d1, d2, some known parameters such as the length of the X-axis of the sensing area 116, the width of the Y-axis of the sensing area 116, and some known conditions such as the shortest distance from the touch point A to the strip mirror 114 being equal to the shortest distance from the mirroring point A1 to the strip mirror 114. The means for the calculation of a coordinate are apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art; no any unnecessary detail will be given here.

However, the conventional optical touch device 100 may have a blind zone 150 which is located near the lower left corner of the sensing are 116; wherein the blind zone means a specific area, in which the touch point's coordinate is difficult to be accurately calculated. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a touch point B is located in the blind zone 150 of the sensing area 116 and a corresponding mirroring point B1 is formed on the strip mirror 114. Accordingly, the dark point B2, derived from the touch point B, and a dark point B3, derived from the mirroring point B1, may overlap; so, the coordinate of the touch point B is difficult to be calculated accurately.

The structure of the optical touch device 200 is further described in detail in the following.

Please refer back to FIG. 2. The optical touch device 200 further includes linear light sources 250, 260 and a mirror 270. The linear light source 250 is disposed next to a second side 2500 of the sensing area 210; wherein the second side 2500 is configured to be opposite to the first side 2100. The linear light source 260 is disposed next to a third side 2600 of the sensing area 210; wherein the third side 2600 is configured to be connected between the first side 2100 and the second side 2500. The light sensing component 240 is disposed in a connection area of the second side 2500 and the third side 2600. The mirror 270 is disposed next to a fourth side 2700 of the sensing area 210; wherein the fourth side 2700 is configured to be opposite to the third side 2600. In the embodiment of the optical touch device 200, the linear light sources 220, 260 are configured to emit lights at a same time point and the linear light source 250 is configured to emit lights at another time point. Specifically, the linear light source 250 and the linear light sourcew220, 260 are configured to emit lights alternately. However, it is to be noted that the present invention does not limit the emission mode (or, the emission sequence) of the linear light sourcew220, 250 and 260. In addition, the light penetration and reflection structure 232 is, for example, formed in a central area of the surface 2310 of the substrate 231.

FIG. 3B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the optical touch device 200 along a line E-E in FIG. 2. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3B, the sensing area 210 is an area on a plate 300 and surrounded by the linear light sources 220, 250 and 260, the light penetration and reflection component 230, the mirror 270 and the light sensing component 240. In another embodiment, a display panel (not shown) is disposed on the plate 300 and on which the sensing area 210 is disposed.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating that the sensing area 210 having a light-blocking object located thereon. FIG. 5 is a schematic view illustrating light penetration paths and reflection paths associated with the light penetration and reflection component 230. It is to be noted that the components/devices illustrated in FIG. 4 are similar to that in FIG. 2, so no any unnecessary detail will be given here. In addition, to prevent the blind zone issue, the optical touch device 200 of the present embodiment further includes the light penetration and reflection component 230 and an extra linear light source (for example, the linear light source 250), compared with the conventional optical touch device 100 shown in FIG. 1; wherein the light penetration and reflection components 230 and the linear light source 250 are configured to be opposite to each other. Moreover, it is to be noted that even the light penetration and reflection components 230 is disposed between the linear light source 220 and the sensing area 210, the lights emitted from the linear light source 220 still can penetrate the light penetration and reflection components 230 through the light penetration regions 2322 thereof (as shown the light penetration paths designated by X in FIG. 5). A light-blocking object C is located in the light sensing area 210, and a corresponding mirroring point C1 is formed on the mirror 270. However, due to the light-blocking object C is located in the blind zone 280, the dark points C2, C3 (respectively derived from the light-blocking object C and the mirroring point C1) may partially overlap. Accordingly, the light sensing component 240 may obtain limited optical information from the overlapped dark points C2, C3. In the structure of the optical touch device 200, because the light penetration and reflection component 230 can also, due to the reflection regions 2321 thereof, function as a mirror, a mirroring point C4 is formed by the light penetration and reflection component 230 when the light-blocking object C is being emitted by the linear light source 250, and simultaneously the lights emitted from the linear light source 250 can be reflected to the light sensing component 240 by the reflection surfaces 2323 of the reflection regions 2321 of the light penetration and reflection component 230 (as shown the reflection paths designated by Y in FIG. 5). Therefore, the light sensing component 240 can further, besides the overlapped dark points C2, C3, obtain the optical information of the dark point C5 according to the lights reflected from the light penetration and reflection component 230. Thus, the light sensing component 240 can, according to the optical information associated with the dark points C2, C3 and C5 (herein, the dark points C2, C3 overlap and are counted as one dark point), calculate the position coordinate of the light-blocking object C on the sensing area 210 more accurately. The means for the calculation of the position coordinate are apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art; no any unnecessary detail will be given here. In addition, the linear light source 250 in this embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 4 is specifically configured to enhance the lights emitting to the area 280; however, it is understood that the linear light source 250 can be configured to provide lights for the entire sensing area 210 (or, configured to have a structure opposite to the entire second side 2500 of the sensing area 210). Based on the same manner, the light penetration and reflection structure 232 can be configured to have a structure opposite to the entire first side 2100 of the sensing area 210.

The light penetration and reflection structure according to the present invention may have some modulations; followings are the detailed descriptions of the light penetration and reflection structure structures according to various embodiments.

It is understood that the aforementioned ratio value is only an example in this embodiment, and the ratio value can be modulated based on actual requirements in other embodiments. However, it is to be noted that, if D1/D2 is configured to be smaller than 1/20, the penetrated lights may not be sufficient enough and thereby affecting the sensitivities of the light sensing component 240 detecting the dark points; alternatively, if D1/D2 is configured to be greater than ⅕, the area of the reflection surfaces 2323 may be relatively small and thereby also affecting the sensitivities of the light sensing component 240 detecting the dark points.

It is understood that the aforementioned ratio value is only an example in this embodiment, and the ratio value can be modulated based on actual requirements in other embodiments. However, it is to be noted that, if (E1+E3)/E2 is configured to be smaller than 1/20, the penetrated lights may not be sufficient enough and thereby affecting the sensitivities of the light sensing component 240 detecting the dark points; alternatively, if (E1+E3)/E2 is configured to be greater than ⅕, the area of the reflection surfaces 2323 may be relatively small and thereby also affecting the sensitivities of the light sensing component 240 detecting the dark points.
