  • Publication number: 20120056851
    Abstract: A method and a driving apparatus for identifying a sensing value of a touch panel are provided. The method includes sensing a plurality of electrodes of the touch panel to obtain raw data and baseline data of each electrode, wherein an electrode Si denotes an ith electrode of the electrodes in the touch panel. A sensing value of the electrode Si is calculated in accordance with the raw data and the baseline data of the electrode Si. When sensing values of all electrodes Si are smaller than a threshold value, the baseline data of the electrode Si is updated in accordance with the raw data of the electrode Si. When a sensing value of any one electrode Si of the electrodes is larger than the threshold value, the baseline data of the electrodes is suspended from being updated.

    Abstract: A touch panel and a differential detection method thereof are disclosed. A controller provides a driving signal to the i-th scan electrode. During providing the driving signal to the i-th scan electrode, the controller senses the feature difference value between two neighbouring sensing electrodes within the plural sensing electrodes, and senses the feature difference value ?Ci between the k-th sensing electrode within the sensing electrodes and a reference feature value, in which the feature difference values between the j-th sensing electrode and the (j+1)-th sensing electrode is represented by ?C(i,j). The controller set the feature value of a base sensing point within a plurality of sensing points of the touch panel as a base feature value, and use the base feature value, the feature difference values ?Ci and the feature difference values ?C(i,j) to calculate the feature values of the sensing points.
