A touch screen panel embedded 12.1-inch TFT LCD employing a standard a-Si:H TFT process has been successfully developed. Compared with conventional external touch screen panels, the new internal TSP exhibits a clearer image and improved touch feeling. Our new internal proposed TSP can be fabricated with low cost.

Nowadays, the touch screen panel (TSP) cover glass for mobile smart devices is being developed with a curved glass shape due to different design requirements. Because the sizes of mobile smart devices continue to increase, there has also been a great increase in the demand for large-area curved glass greater than 20 inches. In this study, heat and fluid flow analysis using CFD was performed to optimize the heating surface temperature distribution of the large curved glass formation system. Five cooling water flow paths in the cooling block were designed and analyzed for each case. A function that can quantitatively calculate the temperature uniformity of the heating surface was proposed and these values were obtained for the five models. The temperature distributions of the heating surface and the energy consumption of the heating system were also compared and comprehensively analyzed. Based on the analysis results of the five different cooling channel path models, the optimal path design could be presented.

최근 투명 산화물 전극 (TCO)은 LED, electronic display, solar cell, touch screen panel (TSP) 등 다양한 분야에 많이 사용되고 있다. TCO는 높은 광 투과도와 전도성으로 인해 여러 분야에 많이 사용되고 있으며, 특히 ITO (Sn-doped indium oxide)가 display 분야에 많이 적용되고 있다. 하지만, ITO는 투과도와 면저항의 반비례 관계를 가지므로 더 낮은 면저항이 요구되는 대면적 TSP 분야에 적용되기에는 많은 개선이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 metal mesh film의 연구를 통해 TSP 분야에 사용되는 ITO를 대체하고자 한다. 제작된 mesh film은 모두 면저항은 $15{\Omega}/{\square}$ 이하, 광 투과도 90% (@550nm) 이상을 나타내었다.

Different from the LCD that have two glass substrates on the top and the bottom, EPD have an advantage that is using the bottom glass substrate and the top e-ink sheet. So, it is impossible to apply R or C type TSP that need bottom and top glass plane. We successfully implemented the TSP (Touch Screen Panel) based on the light over the EPD (Electro Phoretic Display).

This paper presents a compact and low-power on-chip touch sensor and readout circuit using shunt proximity touch sensor and its design scheme. In the proposed touch sensor readout circuit, the touch panel condition depending on the proximity of the finger is directly converted into the corresponding voltage level without additional signal conditioning procedures. Furthermore, the additional circuitry including the comparator and the flip-flop does not consume any static current, which leads to a low-power design scheme. A new prototype touch sensor readout integrated circuit was fabricated using complementally metal oxide silicon (CMOS) $0.18{\mu}m$ technology with core area of $0.032mm^2$ and total current of $125{\mu}A$. Our measurement result shows that an actual 10.4 inches capacitive type touch screen panel (TSP) can detect the finger size from 0 to 1.52 mm, sharply.

A new hybrid-type touch screen panel (TSP) has been developed based on a-Si:H TFT which can detect the change of both $C_{LC}$ and photo-current. This TSP can detect the difference of $C_{LC}$ between touch and no-touch states in unfavorable conditions such as dark ambient light and shadows. The hybrid TSP sensor consists of a detection area which includes one TFT for photo sensing and two TFTs for amplification. Compared to a single internal capacitive TSP or an optical sensing TSP, this new proposed hybrid-type TSP enables larger sensing margin due to embedding of both optical and capacitive sensors.

A current subtraction technique with parallel operation system is proposed to remove excessive current in touch screen application. The proposed current subtraction remove the current which go into the input node of charge amplifier. The value of subtraction current is same with current when touch screen is not touched. As a result, charge amplifier output is only proportional to variation of mutual capacitor, which make dynamic rage is increased. Also, Transmitter (Tx) driving signal and subtraction driving signal are out of phase each other. Thus, noise generated in Tx is cancelled. The proposed IC is implemented in a mixed-mode 0.18-um CMOS process. Overall system is designed for touch screen panel (TSP) with 16 driving lines and 8 sensing lines. 5-V supply voltages are used in the proposed circuits. For multiple Tx driving signal, Walsh codes are used and signal frequency is 300 khz. By using proposed technique, dynamic rage is improved 36 dB.

본 연구는 윈도우 커버 뒷면에 2층 구조의 전극으로 각 전극들의 상호 정전용량을 이용한 터치스크린 패널을 개발하였다. 정전용량 방식의 터치스크린패널(Touch Screen Panel; TSP)은 필름을 사용하는 저항막 방식에 비해 내구성이 좋아 작은 손상에도 동작에 지장이 없다. 또한, 터치의 정확도가 높고, 광학적 특성이 우수하며 다중 포인트가 가능하다. 윈도우 일체형 TSP는 박막증착을 통해 X축,Y축 방향의 전극 패턴을 형성하였고 전극 교차부는 포토리소그래피공정을 통해 절연막 형성 및 Bridge, Bezel 전극을 형성하여 TSP를 제조 하였다.

A capacitive-type touch screen panel (TSP) composed of silver nanowire (AgNW) crossing electrodes and transparent bridge structures was fabricated on a polycarbonate film. The transparent bridge structure was formed with a stack of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) electrodes and SU-8 insulator. The stable and robust continuity of the bridge electrode over the bridge insulator was achieved by making the side-wall slope of the bridge insulator low and depositing the conformal AZO film with atomic layer deposition. With an extended exposure time of photolithography, the lower part of the SU-8 layer around the region uncovered by the photomask can be exposed enough to the UV light scattered from the substrate. This leads to the low side-wall slope of the bridge insulator. The fabricated TSP sample showed a large capacitance change of 22.71% between with and without touching. Our work supplies the technological clue for ensuring long-term reliability to the highly flexible and transparent TSP made by using conventional fabrication processes.

With the increasing demand for mobile devices featuring multi-touch operation, extensive research is being conducted on touch screen panel (TSP) Readout ICs (ROICs) that should possess low power consumption, compact chip size, and immunity to external noise. Therefore, this paper discusses capacitive touch sensors and their readout circuits, and it introduces research trends in various circuit designs that are robust against external noise sources. The recent state-of-the-art TSP ROICs have primarily focused on minimizing the impact of parasitic capacitance (Cp) caused by thin panel thickness. The large Cp can be effectively compensated using an area-efficient current compensator and Current Conveyor (CC), while a display noise reduction scheme utilizing a noise-antenna (NA) electrode significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Based on these achievements, it is expected that future TSP ROICs will be capable of stable operation with thinner and flexible Touch Screen Panels (TSPs).
