  • Patent number: 8976132
    Abstract: A touch-sensing display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a plurality of touch sensing structures, and a display medium. The first substrate has a plurality of pixels and scan lines, and a read-out line. Each touch sensing structure includes a sensing active device, a sensing space, and a bridge electrode. Each sensing active device is disposed on the first substrate and includes a bottom gate, a channel, a source, a sensing electrode, and a top gate. The top gate has an opening to form a first electrode and a second electrode that are electrically isolated. When pressed, the bridge electrode contacts the top gate to electrically connect to the first and second electrodes, so that control of the channel is transformed from one of the top gate and the bottom gate to both the top and the bottom gates, thereby forming a sensing current in the sensing electrode.

  • Publication number: 20130194213
    Abstract: A touch-sensing panel including a substrate, a plurality of first electrode series, a plurality of second electrode series, and a plurality of first floating patterns is provided. Each of the first electrode series includes a plurality of first touch-sensing pads and a plurality of first bridge patterns. The second electrode series are disposed on the substrate and electrically insulated from each other. The second sensing series are intersected with and electrically insulated from the first sensing series. Each of the second electrode series includes a plurality of second touch-sensing pads and a plurality of second bridge patterns. The first floating patterns are disposed between the first sensing series and the second sensing series. Each of the first touch-sensing pads includes at least one extending portion. In addition, there is no first floating pattern located between the extending portion and the second electrode series adjacent thereto.
