  • Patent number: 12197678
    Abstract: A signal driving method is provided. The method includes, in a first signal driving period, applying non-inverting and inverting drive signals respectively to M adjacent and N adjacent detection electrodes, where M+N?P; and in a second signal driving period, applying the non-inverting and inverting drive signals respectively to K adjacent and L adjacent detection electrodes, where K+L?P. P denotes a number of detection electrodes not greater than a number of detection electrodes on a touch control screen. M, N, K and L adjacent detection electrodes are all part of the P detection electrodes. One signal driving cycle includes at least the first and second signal driving periods in which drive signals are applied to P detection electrodes. Each P detection electrode is applied a non-inverting drive signal at least once in one signal driving cycle, and phases of the inverting and non-inverting drive signals are opposite to each other by 180 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20230195260
    Abstract: A signal driving method is provided. One signal driving cycle includes two signal driving periods in which drive signals are applied to P detection electrodes. In a first period, applying non-inverting and inverting drive signals respectively to M adjacent detection electrodes and N adjacent detection electrodes. The non-inverting and inverting drive signals respectively applied to the M and N electrodes cancel each other out, M+N?P and |M-N|?Q. In a second period, applying the non-inverting and inverting drive signals respectively to K adjacent detection electrodes and L adjacent detection electrodes. The non-inverting and inverting drive signals respectively applied to the K and L electrodes cancel each other out, K+L?P, |K-L|?Q and M+K?P. Q denotes a number of detection electrodes which makes an active pen not cause moire after the cancelling, and P denotes a number of detection electrodes not greater than a number of detection electrodes on a touch control screen.
