Touch-sensitive screen with haptic acknowledgement
View Patent ↗A touch sensitive screen comprising a display device and a light-permeable, wherein a touch-sensitive arrangement arranged upstream of an image side of the display device at a distance therefrom. The arrangement can be displaced in relation to the display device such that a haptic acknowledgment is generated. The touch-sensitive arrangement forms part of the housing containing the display device, and the housing can be displaced in relation to the display device, by way of the touch-sensitive arrangement.
1. A touch sensitive screen, comprising:
a support element;
a display device substantially immovably fastened to the support element;
a housing completely enclosing the display device, the housing including:
a transparent, touch sensitive arrangement accessible through the housing disposed above an image side of the display device and at a distance from the display device, said touch sensitive arrangement being moveable relative to the display device to generate haptic feedback;
wherein the housing with the touch sensitive arrangement is moveable in a plane substantially parallel to the display device and the housing is configured to move linearly along a single axis relative to the support element,
whereby the movement of the touch sensitive arrangement along the single axis provides the haptic feedback.
2. The touch sensitive screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is linearly moveable in a plane running parallel to the image side of the display device.
3. The touch sensitive screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is dust-tight.
4. The touch sensitive-screen as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the housing is configured to completely surround the display.
5. The touch sensitive screen as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising means for guiding a movement of the housing relative to the support element.
6. The touch sensitive-screen as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the means for guiding include a linear guide.
7. The touch sensitive-screen as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the linear guide comprises:
at least one longitudinally arranged guide rod element coupled to the support element and slidingly coupled to the housing,
wherein the at least one longitudinally arranged guide rod element defines the linear motion of the housing relative to the support.
8. The touch sensitive-screen as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the at least one longitudinally arranged guide rod element is slidingly coupled to the housing by at least one hook eye.
9. The touch sensitive screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display device is fastened on the support element by fastening elements passing through openings in the housing.
10. The touch sensitive screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display.
11. The touch sensitive screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the touch sensitive screen is a component in a motor vehicle.
12. The touch sensitive-screen as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one longitudinally arranged guide element coupled to the support element and slidingly coupled to the housing,
wherein the at least one longitudinally arranged guide element defines the linear motion of the housing relative to the support.
13. The touch sensitive-screen as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the at least one longitudinally arranged guide element is slidingly coupled to the housing by at least one hook eye.
