  • Patent number: 11287925
    Abstract: An electronic circuit, adapted to drive a display panel comprising touch sensors, is provided. The electronic circuit can include a display driving circuit, a timing circuit and a touch scan circuit. The display driving circuit drives a touch display panel. The timing circuit receives a flag signal from a processing circuit and generates a scan start signal according to the flag signal. The touch scan circuit generates a plurality of touch scan signals according to the scan start signal and a touch column synchronization signal. The touch scan circuit determines a start time of a touch frame period according to a pulse of the scan start signal. The scan start signal can be asynchronous or delayed with respect to a touch frame synchronization signal generated by the display driving circuit.

  • Patent number: 11182019
    Abstract: A touch scanning method shortening a first touch latency includes: scanning a Mth column of the N-column touch panel according to a touch scan (TSHD) signal; determining whether the finger is on the Mth column of the N-column touch panel according to a scan data signal; performing a fast done process according to a fast done signal when the finger is on the Mth column of the N-column touch panel; determining whether M equals to N when the finger is not on the Mth column of the N-column touch panel; and resetting M to 1 according to a scan start signal and performing an algorithm according to a finish flag signal.

  • Publication number: 20140192009
    Abstract: A touch panel comprising a substrate, a plurality of first sensing electrodes, a plurality of second sensing electrodes, an insulating layer and a cover lens is provided. The first sensing electrodes are disposed on the substrate and are arranged in a first direction. The second sensing electrodes are disposed on the substrate and are arranged in a second direction. The first direction and the second directions are different. The insulating layer is disposed between the first and the second sensing electrodes. The cover lens is disposed on the insulating layer and has a non-uniform thickness. At least one of the surface areas of the first and the second sensing electrodes is related to the non-uniform thickness of the cover lens.
