  • Patent number: 7992063
    Abstract: A control circuit includes a plurality of shift register stages. Each shift register stage is capable of outputting an individual output signal. The output signal is utilized to be a driving signal of next shift register stages. Each shift register stage comprises a transistor for receiving a clear signal CLR. The residual charges of the shift register stage can be released when the clear signal CLR is in a high voltage level. The clear signal CLR is enabled during a non-blanking time of a liquid crystal display (LCD). Each current register stage can use an output signal of another shift register stage which is apart from the current shift register stage by a predetermined interval as the clear signal CLR. The clear signal CLR is used to release the residual charges of the shift register stage before the shift register stage outputs its own output signal.

    Abstract: A touch panel device having high touch sensitivity includes sensing capacitors, switches, storage capacitors, a differential amplifier and a signal processing unit. During a sense period, the switches are periodically turned on alternately for periodically transferring the charges of the sensing capacitors to the storage capacitors. The differential amplifier is put in use for amplifying the voltage difference of two corresponding storage capacitors for generating a touch readout signal. The signal processing unit performs an OR operation on two touch readout signals generated during different sense periods based on different sensing capacitor combinations regarding same panel touch position for providing a touch position signal.

  • Publication number: 20100302182
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a sensing region, a storage unit, a precision rectifier circuit and a comparing circuit. There exists an equivalent capacitance at a predetermined location in the sensing region. At the predetermined location, the sensing region can provide a first signal before a touch action occurs and a second signal after the touch action occurs. The precision rectifier circuit can control the signal transmission path between the predetermined location and the storage unit. After being charged by the first and second signals, the storage unit can respectively provide corresponding third and fourth signals. The comparing circuit can thus determine whether the touch action occurs at the predetermined location according to the third and fourth signals.
