Abstract

A signal sensing structure for touch panels comprises a circuit substrate, a capacitive signal sensing unit located on the circuit substrate and an electromagnetic signal sensing unit. The capacitive signal sensing unit includes a first sensing array and a second sensing array, which are interlaced and respectively have a plurality of cascaded electrodes. The electrodes form a plurality of sensing blocks, and first gaps and second gaps are formed between the sensing blocks and vertical to each other. The electromagnetic signal sensing unit includes a first sensing line set and a second sensing line set, which are respectively arranged on the first gaps and the second gaps and vertical to each other. The circuit substrate has a capacitive signal and an electromagnetic signal sensing structures without mutual interference of different signals. Therefore, the present invention can accurately sense the variation of capacitive and electromagnetic signals.
