Abstract:
A force sensor includes: a plurality of touch cells comprising a plurality of driving electrodes, a pressure sensing layer overlapping the driving electrodes, and a plurality of sensing electrodes overlapping the pressure sensing layer; and a touch driver configured to receive a raw data from the plurality of touch cells and to detect a touch pressure applied to the plurality of touch cells. The touch driver includes: a filtering unit configured to filter the raw data and to output sensing data; a data storage unit configured to store max data having the highest value from among the sensing data and propagation data of at least one adjacent touch cell adjacent to a max touch cell having the max data; and a noise removing unit configured to detect and remove noise from the sensing data.
