Abstract

A static capacitance type touch panel, a control unit electrically connected with X and Y electrodes for detecting a touch position based on a measured value of a static capacitance between the X and Y electrodes. The control unit includes a predetermined touch threshold for detecting a peak, a near-peak range and a non-near-peak range, a first parameter for determining a value of the near peak range, and a second parameter for determining a value of the non-near-peak range. The first and second parameters are respectively predetermined for reduction of a noise influence from the measured value of the static capacitance between the X electrode and the Y electrode.

Claims (23)

1. A static capacitance type touch panel comprising:

a plurality of X electrodes and Y electrodes;

a control unit electrically connected with the X electrodes and the Y electrodes for detecting a touch position based on a measured value of a static capacitance between the X electrodes and the Y electrodes;

wherein the control unit includes:

a predetermined touch threshold for detecting a peak, a near-peak range and a non-near-peak range,

a first parameter for determining a value of the near peak range, and

a second parameter for determining a value of the non-near-peak range,

wherein the first and second parameters are respectively predetermined for reduction of a noise influence from the measured value of the static capacitance between the X electrode and the Y electrode.

2. The static capacitance type touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to produce a weighted value from the first and second parameter.

3. The static capacitance type touch panel according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit is configured to calculate a touched position based on the weighted value.

4. The static capacitance type touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to select n number of X or Y electrodes as the near-peak range.

5. The static capacitance type touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined touch threshold is a value which cannot be attained due to a noise only, but which can be attained due to presence of a touch.

6. A static capacitance type touch panel comprising:

a plurality of X electrodes and Y electrodes;

a control unit electrically connected with the X electrodes and the Y electrodes for detecting a touch position based on a measured value of a static capacitance between the X electrodes and the Y electrodes;

wherein the control unit includes:

a difference value calculated by subtracting a reference value from the measured value,

a predetermined touch threshold for detecting a peak, a near-peak range and a non-near-peak range;

a first weighed value calculated by subtracting an offset value of the near peak range from the difference value, and

a second weighted value calculated by subtracting an offset value of the non-near-peak range.

7. The static capacitance type touch panel according to claim 6 , wherein the control unit is configured to calculate a touched position based on the weighted value.

8. The static capacitance type touch panel according to claim 6 , wherein the control unit is configured to select n number of X or Y electrodes as the near-peak range.

9. The static capacitance type touch panel according to claim 6 , wherein the predetermined touch threshold is a value which cannot be attained due to a noise only, but which can be attained due to presence of a touch.
