Abstract

A touch control device capable of preventing false positives is provided. The touch control device includes: a conductive plate, electrically connected to a predetermined potential; a sensing region, located above the conductive plate, including a plurality of capacitive sensing units; and a conductive ring, located above the conductive plate, disposed at a periphery of the sensing region. When a touch scanning signal is provided to one on-duty capacitive touch sensing unit of the capacitive touch sensing units, the conductive ring synchronously receives a control signal associated with the touch scanning signal.

Claims (16)

a conductive plate, electrically coupled to a predetermined potential;

a sensing region, located above the conductive plate, comprising a plurality of capacitive sensing units;

a conductive ring, located above the conductive plate, disposed at a periphery of the sensing region;

wherein, when a touch scanning signal is provided to one on-duty capacitive sensing unit of the capacitive sensing units, the conductive ring synchronously receives a control signal associated with the touch scanning signal, and

a circuit board, located above the conductive plate, disposed at a circuit board neighboring side of the sensing region, configured to provide the touch scanning signal and the control signal,

wherein a width of the circuit board is smaller than a length of the circuit board neighboring side,

wherein the conductive ring forms a conductive loop via the circuit board, and

2. The touch control device according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the conductive plate is metal, and the predetermined potential is a ground potential.

3. The touch control device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive ring prevents power lines of the on-duty capacitive sensing unit from forming an electrical connection with the conductive plate through an unexpected external object.

4. The touch control device according to claim 1 , wherein the on-duty capacitive sensing unit comprises a triangular electrode plate.

5. The touch control device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between a border of the conductive plate and a border of the conductive ring is a first width, a width of the conductive ring is a second width, and the first width is smaller than the second width.

6. The touch control device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive ring surrounds at least a part of the circuit neighboring side and at least a part of the circuit board.

7. The touch control device according to claim 1 , wherein a periphery of the circuit board comprises two circuit board sides, the two circuit board sides are perpendicular to the circuit board neighboring side or an included angle between the two is between a first angle and a second angle.

8. The touch control device according to claim 1 , wherein the on-duty capacitive sensing unit is located at an edge of the sensing region.
