Referring to fig. 1, FPCs are respectively disposed at two ends of the TFT substrate along a first direction, and two ends of the first conductive line are respectively led out through a corresponding flexible circuit board FPC11 and a corresponding flexible circuit board FPC 12; the leading-out wires on the flexible circuit board FPC11 and the flexible circuit board FPC12 are controlled to be electrically connected according to a set rule to form a plurality of first direction detection lead wires; namely: according to the set rule, the set first leads are sequentially connected in series to form the first direction detection lead, so that a large number of first leads are changed into a small number of first direction detection leads, and the monitoring efficiency is improved.
With reference to fig. 2, each first-direction detecting conductive line is formed by connecting a plurality of first conductive lines in series, so that each first-direction detecting conductive line actually extends along the second direction, and an enclosing region is formed between the first-direction detecting conductive line and a common ground line disposed along the second direction; one end of each first direction detection lead is connected with a common ground wire arranged along the second direction, and the other end of each first direction detection lead outputs electromagnetic induction signals, so that a plurality of first direction coils used for inducing the electromagnetic signals are formed.

In this embodiment, a region between two adjacent first wires on the TFT substrate constitutes a minimum detection unit in the second direction; the region between two adjacent second conductive lines on the TFT substrate constitutes a minimum detection unit in the first direction.

The effective detection range is that the point is located in a region surrounded by the first direction coil, that is, the point is located in a region surrounded by the first direction detection lead and the common ground wire arranged along the second direction.
Thus, for any point in each detection unit, at least three first direction coils can detect electromagnetic induction signals with set frequency, the first direction coils are sorted according to the strength of the induction signals, and the first direction coils obtained by the points in different detection units are not sorted identically, for example: the ranking of the strength of the sensing signals obtained by the point detection in the first detection unit may be: the first direction coil (r), the first direction coil (c) and the first direction coil (r), and the ordering of the strength of the induction signals detected by the points in the second detection unit may be: a first direction coil II, a first direction coil III and a first direction coil IV; the coordinate position of the point in the second direction, i.e. the abscissa, can be obtained by looking up the table.
Similarly, for the second direction (transverse direction), any point in each minimum detection unit in the first direction of the TFT substrate is at least enclosed in the effective detection range of a second direction coil formed by three second direction detection leads; the second direction coils surrounding the different detection units are completely different or not completely identical.
