  • Patent number: 9891751
    Abstract: A touch control device capable of preventing false positives is provided. The touch control device includes: a conductive plate, electrically connected to a predetermined potential; a sensing region, located above the conductive plate, including a plurality of capacitive sensing units; and a conductive ring, located above the conductive plate, disposed at a periphery of the sensing region. When a touch scanning signal is provided to one on-duty capacitive touch sensing unit of the capacitive touch sensing units, the conductive ring synchronously receives a control signal associated with the touch scanning signal.

  • Patent number: 9652102
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a plurality of touch sensing groups. Each of the touch sensing groups includes a central electrode, a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes. The central electrode includes a main body, and has a wavy contour. The first electrodes and the second electrodes are disposed at two sides of the main body along a direction, respectively. Each of the first electrodes includes a first inner edge adaptively spaced from a first edge of the central electrode. Each of the second electrodes includes a second inner edge adaptively spaced from a second edge of the central electrode. One first electrode of the first electrodes overlaps two adjacent second electrodes of the second electrodes in another direction.

  • Patent number: 9575607
    Abstract: An electrode of a self-capacitive touch panel is provided. The electrode, coupled to a control circuit of the self-capacitive touch panel via a conducting wire, includes: a serpentine portion, having a first side; a main portion, having a second side; and a connecting portion, connected to the first side and the second side to connect the serpentine portion and the main portion. A length of the connecting portion is smaller than a length of the first side and a length of the second side.
