Abstract:
A display panel capable of sensing a touch pressure may be provided, that includes: a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes which are formed in different layers apart from each other; a plurality of third electrodes formed in the same layer as the layer in which the first electrode is formed; and a reference electrode which is provided between the layer in which the first electrode and the third electrode are formed and the layer in which the second electrode is formed, or provided under the layer in which the first electrode and the third electrode are formed. The plurality of the second electrodes generate a first signal including information on a capacitance which is changed by a touch, and the plurality of the third electrodes generate a second signal including information on a capacitance which is changed by the touch. As a result, it is not necessary to separately provide the touch sensor because the touch position and the touch pressure can be sensed by the display panel. Also, it is possible to simultaneously sense the touch position and the touch pressure instead of to sequentially sense them.
Abstract:
A touch input device capable of detecting a pressure of a touch on a touch surface may be provided. The touch input device includes: a display module; and a pressure sensor which is disposed at a position where a distance between the pressure sensor and a reference potential layer is changeable according to the touch on the touch surface. The distance is changeable according to a pressure magnitude of the touch. The pressure sensor outputs a signal including information on a capacitance which is changed according to the distance. The pressure sensor includes a plurality of electrodes to form a plurality of channels. The pressure magnitude of the touch is detected on the basis of a change amount of the capacitance detected in each of the channels and an SNR improvement scaling factor assigned to each of the channels.
Abstract:
An electrode sheet including an electrode layer and a support layer may be provided. The electrode layer includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The electrode sheet is used to detect a capacitance change between the first electrode and the second electrode, which is changed according to a relative distance change between the electrode layer and a reference potential layer disposed apart from the electrode sheet. The support layer is made of a material which is bent when a pressure is applied thereto and which is restored to its original state when the pressure is released therefrom.
