  • Patent number: 11847288
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a base substrate, a cover panel, a first electrode formed outside of a display region on a back surface of the cover panel, and a second electrode formed outside of the display region on a front surface of the base substrate. A pressure when the base substrate is pressed by the pointer through the cover panel is detected by measuring a change of a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode when the front surface of the cover panel is pressed as a change of electrostatic capacitance between the first electrode and the second electrode. The touch panel further includes a ground electrode formed on an outer peripheral side of the first electrode of the cover panel.

  • Patent number: 10488987
    Abstract: A touch panel apparatus includes: a data determination part determining whether a measurement value of a capacitance for each of a plurality of drive pulses measured by a sensing part is normal or abnormal; and a coordinate detection part outputting a touch coordinate position of a touch performed by an indication body in accordance with the measurement value of the capacitance which is determined to be normal by the data determination part, wherein the drive part changes a frequency of a drive pulse in the plurality of drive pulses corresponding to the measurement value of the capacitance which is determined to be abnormal by the data determination part, and outputs, in a subsequent scan, a plurality of drive pulses including a drive pulse whose frequency has been changed.

  • Patent number: 10254896
    Abstract: A display includes a touch sensor panel, a panel controller, a case, and a signal generation circuit. The touch sensor panel includes a touch sensor. The panel controller measures a capacitance of the touch sensor. The case accommodates the display, in which at least the touch sensor panel and the panel controller are disposed. The signal generation circuit is capable of applying an AC signal to a ground of the panel controller. The case is electrically connected to the ground of the panel controller. When the signal generation circuit applies the AD signal to the ground, the panel controller measures the capacitance of the touch sensor.

  • Patent number: 10146370
    Abstract: In a touch panel device, an output control unit controls a process of outputting touch information acquired by a sensing unit and a touch detection unit of a touch sensor panel to host equipment, where the information indicates presence or absence and a coordinate of a touch of an indicator to the touch sensor panel. A state sensing unit senses an operation state of the sensing unit or the touch detection unit. A state restoration unit restores the sensing unit or the touch detection unit in the abnormal state to a normal state, based on a detection result of the state sensing unit. Upon detecting an abnormal state in the state sensing unit, an output control unit stops an output of the touch information to the host equipment for a fixed period of time.
