  • Patent number: 10969912
    Abstract: A capacitive sensing and sampling circuit and method thereof are disclosed. The capacitive sensing and sampling circuit has a voltage source, a sensing unit and a detecting circuit. The detecting unit has a first sensing output unit, a second sensing output unit and a sampling unit. The first and second sensing output units are electrically connected to an output of the sensing unit and the sampling unit. Therefore, by increasing the number of alternatively sensing the capacitive sensing component to obtain more capacitive signals, the number of sampling the sensed capacitive signal is relatively increased. Therefore, the white noise interference for the capacitive sensing and sampling circuit is effectively suppressed, so the signal-to-noise ratio is increased and accuracy of detecting coordinates of the touch object is increased.

  • Patent number: 10831309
    Abstract: A touch sensing method for a display with touch device having an image display period, which includes multiple execution time sections. Each execution time section has a display time division and a blank time division. A display procedure is executed in each display time division. A communicating procedure is executed in one of the blank time division. In the communicating procedure, an uplink signal is provided by the common electrodes for a first object to receive. Thus, the display with touch device has more time to detect more different kinds of touch objects.

  • Publication number: 20200142535
    Abstract: An input device for applying to a touch display device is provided. In a sub-signal transmitting section of the input device, the input device transmits a modulation signal corresponding to the state information. Since the length of time of sub-signal transmitting section of the input device is larger or at least equal to one time the length of time of the display section of the touch display device plus twice the length of time of the blank section of the touch display device, the sub-signal transmitting section overlaps at least one of the blank section. The touch display device can receive the modulation signal transmitted from the input device during the overlapping blank sections. Thus, the input device does not need to know the frame of the touch display device so that a receiving unit is reduced to decrease the cost.

  • Patent number: 10461418
    Abstract: A photonic microwave time delay apparatus and method thereof are disclosed. The microwave-modulated optical signal generation module of the photonic microwave time delay apparatus generates a microwave-modulated optical signal. The microwave-modulated optical signal is injected into the photonic microwave time delay module of the photonic microwave time delay apparatus, wherein the photonic microwave time delay module includes a microwave-time-delay laser. The optical power and carrier frequency of the microwave-modulated optical signal are adjusted so as to excite the laser cavity resonance red-shift effect in the microwave-time-delay laser. Under such operation, the microwave-time-delay laser emits a microwave-modulated optical signal with a microwave time delay.
