    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of multi-phase scanning of a touch panel are described. One apparatus selects a sequence having a number of one values, negative one values, and zero values. The one values correspond to an in-phase drive signal, the negative one values correspond to an opposite-phase drive signal, and the zero values correspond to a reference signal (e.g., reference voltage or ground). A sum of the sequence is equal to zero. The apparatus applies one of the in-phase drive signal, the opposite-phase drive signal, or the reference signal to each of a first set of electrodes at a first stage according to the sequence. The apparatus rotates the sequence to obtain a rotated sequence and applies one of the signals according to the rotated sequence.

  • Patent number: 11860022
    Abstract: One or more examples relate to a detector. A signal that the detector is configured to sense is a differential value. Such a differential value may be indicative of a difference in self-capacitance indications that are exhibited at first and second internal capacitors. Such a differential value may be proportional to a relationship between a first material and a second material present at a device-under-test coupled to electrodes of the detector. Such a differential value may be proportional to a vertical elevation of a surface of a material present at a device-under-test coupled to electrodes of the detector. A difference in coupling capacitances may be obtained by performing complimentary acquisition processes utilizing symmetric capacitive sensors. When the acquisition processes are performed substantially simultaneously, coupling error indications that may be present in the self-capacitance indications are not present in the differential value.

  • Patent number: 11855623
    Abstract: A capacitive touch sensor includes a touch interface, a switch, and a sensing circuit. The switch circuit switches based on sensing conditions of self-capacitance and mutual capacitance. The sensing circuit is used for both the self-capacitance mode and the self-capacitance mode to simplify circuit structure and save circuit area and power consumption. The output sensing voltage from the sensing circuit is stable. A differential mode is designed to improve noise interference and enhance accuracy of judging the touch effect. Then, the self-capacitance mode is utilized for the areas of possible touches to save operation time for the capacitance mode.

  • Patent number: 11847279
    Abstract: A display device includes a plurality of common electrodes. A second drive circuit supplies a touch drive signal to each of the plurality of common electrodes. A touch detection circuit performs detection of a touch by an object to the display device, based on a touch detection signal received from each of the plurality of common electrodes in one or more touch detection periods. A length of the one or more touch detection periods is a detection time. The touch detection circuit detects a noise at a frequency of the touch drive signal based on the touch detection signal. When the noise is detected, the control circuit changes the frequency of the touch drive signal to be lower than the frequency used when the noise is not detected and changes the detection time to be longer than the detection time used when the noise is not detected.
