Abstract

A grating touch screen based on lattice structure distribution comprises a laser light source, an optical waveguide layer, a grating and a photoelectric detector. In the present invention, the grating with the lattice structure distribution is reasonably arranged on the optical waveguide layer, so that the efficiency of detection light from the laser light source reaching the photoelectric detector at a periphery through the grating touch screen is maximized, and the sensitivity of the touch screen is effectively improved.
