  • Patent number: 8736572
    Abstract: The invention discloses a touch input device and a touch sensor circuit. The touch input device includes a touch panel, a selection module and a differential detection module. The touch panel includes a plurality of capacitive nodes thereon. The selection module is electrically connected with the capacitive nodes of the touch panel. The selection module selects a first capacitive node and a second capacitive node from the capacitive nodes. The second capacitive node is close to the first capacitive node. The differential detection module, electrically connected to the selection module, is used for detecting a capacitance difference between the first capacitive node and the second capacitive node. According to the capacitance difference, the differential detection module generates a touch detection signal.

  • Patent number: 8654089
    Abstract: The invention discloses a touch sensing circuit applied to a capacitance touch panel for detecting the position of a sensed object touching the capacitance touch panel. The touch sensing circuit includes a first signal supplying module, a second signal supplying module, a first measurement module, a second measurement module and a processing module. The first signal supplying module inputs signals in turn to first sensing lines arranging along the first direction. The second signal supplying module inputs signals in turn to second sensing lines arranging along the second direction. The first measurement module and the second measurement module are used for measuring the first equivalent capacitances of the first sensing lines and that of the second sensing lines. The processing module is coupled to first measurement module and the second measurement module for determining the position of the sensed object.

  • Publication number: 20120013563
    Abstract: A touch input device is disclosed in this invention. The touch input device includes a touch panel, a selection module and a detection module. The touch panel includes capacitive nodes thereon. The selection module is electrically connected to the capacitive nodes of the touch panel. The selection module is used for selecting at least one capacitive node from the capacitive nodes respectively, in order to form a first capacitive node class and a second capacitive node class which is adjacent to the first capacitive node class. The detection module includes a signal generator for generating a detective pulse signal and a reversal pulse signal with a phase opposite to the detective pulse signal. The detective pulse signal and the reversal pulse signal are respectively imported to the first capacitive node class and the second capacitive node class through the selection module.

  • Publication number: 20110063249
    Abstract: A touch sensing apparatus applied to a capacitance touch panel includes a sensing module, a signal generating module, a comparing module, and a processing module. When a first and a second touch point formed on the capacitance touch panel correspond to two first and second touch pad sets, the sensing module generates a request signal. The signal generating module respectively outputs two test signals with reverse phases to the two first touch pad sets according to the request signal. After the comparing module generates a compared result according to two voltage values corresponding to the two second touch pad sets, the processing module will determine the positions of the first and the second touch point according to the compared result. When touch points are more than two, the touch sensing apparatus repeats the above-mentioned steps until all positions of the touch points are defined and the ghost points are removed.

  • Patent number: 7233555
    Abstract: A method for adjusting an optical axis of an optical disc drive. The method includes the following steps. A first reflecting member is disposed on a turntable of the optical disc drive, and is rotated along with the turntable. A laser light is emitted on the first reflecting member by a laser collimator, and a normal vector of the turntable is measured based on a light point reflected to the laser collimator from the first reflecting member. A second reflecting member and a third reflecting member are disposed on a guide bar of the optical disc drive. A first initial vector and a second initial vector are measured based on a light point reflected to the laser collimator from the second reflecting member and the third reflecting member.
