Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those of skill in the art will explicitly and implicitly appreciate that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
The application provides a capacitive touch screen assembly, which is applied to electronic atomization equipment, wherein the electronic atomization equipment generally refers to equipment for generating aerosol with specific smell through heating and atomization. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 is an exploded view of an exemplary embodiment of a capacitive touch screen assembly according to the present application, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an installation of a first structure of the capacitive touch screen assembly of fig. 1, and fig. 3 is a front view of a second structure of the capacitive touch screen assembly of fig. 1, in which the capacitive touch screen assembly includes a cover plate 100 and a display screen 200 that are stacked.
The cover plate 100 includes a transparent substrate 110 and a transparent conductive layer 120, the transparent substrate 110 has a substrate front 110a and a substrate back 110b disposed opposite to each other, the substrate front 110a is used for a user to touch, the transparent conductive layer 120 is disposed on the substrate back 110b, and the transparent conductive layer 120 is provided with a first electrical contact 121. The transparent substrate 110 and the transparent conductive layer 120 are transparent structures, and the display effect of the display screen 200 is not affected.
The transparent substrate 110 may be made of one of glass, polyethylene terephthalate (abbreviated as PET), polycarbonate (abbreviated as PC), or acryl (abbreviated as PMMA) materials. It is understood that the transparent substrate 110 is a transparent insulating board with a certain hardness, which does not affect the display effect of the display screen 200, and can have a certain protection and isolation effect on the transparent conductive layer 120.
The transparent conductive layer 120 may be made of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) or the like, and the indium tin oxide may be plated on the transparent substrate 110 by magnetron sputtering. It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the transparent conductive layer 120 may also employ other transparent conductive oxides, not limited to ITO. In one embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 120 may be integrally disposed on the substrate back surface 110b of the transparent substrate 110, when the transparent conductive layer 120 is plated on the transparent substrate 110 with ITO, it is realized that the transparent conductive layer 120 is integrally disposed on the transparent substrate 110.
The display screen 200 is located on the side of the transparent conductive layer 120 facing away from the transparent substrate 110, and the display screen 200 is provided with a second electrical contact 201, and the first electrical contact 121 and the second electrical contact 201 are electrically connected.
As can be seen, in the present application, by disposing the transparent conductive layer 120 on the transparent substrate 110, the transparent conductive layer 120 plays a role of touch control, when a finger of a user touches the substrate front surface 110a of the transparent substrate 110, a coupling capacitance is formed between the human body and the transparent conductive layer 120 due to a human body electric field, so that a capacitance value on the transparent conductive layer 120 is changed, and because the transparent conductive layer 120 is electrically connected with the display screen 200 through the first electrical contact point 121 and the second electrical contact point 201, a capacitance value change signal of the transparent conductive layer 120 can be led out to a related capacitance detection mechanism, such as a master control chip on a master control board, so that a function of a touch control area is controlled through the master control board. The application does not need to judge the specific touch position, and can realize the touch function only by touching the front surface 110a of the transparent substrate 110 by a finger to enable the human body and the transparent conductive layer 120 to form a coupling capacitor.
In the related art, the transparent conductive layer 120 is usually directly disposed on the display screen 200, and the transparent substrate 110 is only used as a protective layer, but for the electronic atomization device, the area of the display screen 200 is usually smaller, the user's finger can only touch the touch area in a small range, the position selectivity of the touch area is also smaller, while in the present application, the transparent conductive layer 120 is disposed on the transparent substrate 110, so long as it is ensured that the transparent conductive layer 120 and the display screen 200 can be electrically connected through electrical contact points, therefore, the transparent substrate 110 and the transparent conductive layer 120 may be larger than the display screen 200, and the position of the touch area on the transparent substrate 110 may be selected arbitrarily, for example, the touch area may be disposed in the middle of the transparent substrate 110 or may be disposed at a corner of the transparent substrate 110, so that the present application has a larger selectivity for the position of the touch area, and different positions of the touch area may be designed according to different appearance requirements of the product, and in addition, especially when the display screen 200 is smaller, the touch area may be set larger, so that a user can quickly implement touch control. Fig. 2 shows a case where the areas of the transparent substrate 110 and the transparent conductive layer 120 are the same as the display panel 200, and fig. 3 shows a case where the areas of the transparent substrate 110 and the transparent conductive layer 120 are larger than the display panel 200.
In addition, if the conductive layer corresponding to the touch area is generally disposed directly on the display screen 200 (the conductive layer with such a structure is generally a transparent conductive layer), or is disposed separately on the outer side of the display screen 200 (the conductive layer with such a structure is generally a conductive metal plate), and then the substrate is mounted on the conductive layer, for the separated scheme of the substrate and the conductive layer, since there is a certain gap between the substrate and the conductive layer, the mounting error may cause the gap between the substrate and the conductive layer to be different when different products in the same batch are individually mounted, so that the touch sensitivity of different products in the same batch may be inconsistent, whereas the transparent conductive layer 120 is directly disposed on the transparent substrate 110, and the transparent conductive layer 120 and the transparent substrate 110 are mounted as a whole, so that there is no gap between the transparent conductive layer 120 and the transparent substrate 110, and thus the problem of inconsistent sensitivity caused by the mounting gap error does not occur, and therefore, the touch sensitivity consistency of the application is better, especially when the transparent conductive layer 120 is coated on the transparent substrate 110, the transparent conductive layer 120 has high size, uniform thickness, and better touch sensitivity consistency.
In some embodiments, the display 200 may employ a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). There are many types of liquid crystal displays, for example, liquid crystal thin film transistor liquid crystal displays or twisted nematic liquid crystal displays. The liquid crystal display may generally include a first glass substrate 210, a second glass substrate 220, and a liquid crystal 230 disposed between the first glass substrate 210 and the second glass substrate 220, wherein the first glass substrate 210 is disposed on a side of the second glass substrate 220 near the transparent conductive layer 120, and the second electrical contact 201 is disposed on a side of the first glass substrate 210 facing the transparent conductive layer 120. It should be understood that, in order to achieve the display effect of the lcd, the lcd should further include a backlight (not shown in the drawings), and the structure of the lcd belongs to a relatively mature technology in the related art, and since the present application does not relate to an improvement of the internal structure of the lcd, only the general structure of the lcd is listed herein, and the internal structure of the lcd is not specifically described.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is an exploded view of another embodiment of a capacitive touch screen assembly according to the present application, in the above embodiment, a touch signal trace 202 is disposed on a side of the display screen 200 facing the transparent conductive layer 120, and a second electrical contact 201 is disposed on the touch signal trace 202. Specifically, the touch signal trace 202 is disposed on a side of the first glass substrate 210 of the display screen 200 facing the transparent conductive layer 120, and the second electrical contact 201 may be disposed at an end of the touch signal trace 202.
In some embodiments, the second electrical contact 201 is connected to the first electrical contact 121 by pressing, and the second electrical contact 201 and the first electrical contact 121 can form a whole by pressing, so that the connection stability is better, and loosening or poor contact is not easy.
The first electrical contact 121 and the second electrical contact 201 may be silver paste contact points, and the silver paste has an electrical conduction effect, so that electrical conduction connection between the first electrical contact 121 and the second electrical contact 201 can be realized, and the first electrical contact 121 and the second electrical contact 201 can be processed by directly dripping liquid silver paste on the transparent conductive layer 120 and the display screen 200 until the silver paste solidifies.
When the first electrical contact 121 and the second electrical contact 201 are made of silver paste, the first electrical contact 121 and the second electrical contact 201 may be disposed at the periphery of the effective display area (ACTIVE AREA) of the display screen 200 in order to avoid the silver paste affecting the display effect of the display screen 200 because the silver paste is made of opaque material. The concept of an effective display area of the display screen 200 means that the display screen 200 can display the total area of text and graphics.
The touch signal trace 202 may also be printed with conductive silver paste, and since the silver paste is made of opaque material, in order to avoid the silver paste from affecting the display effect of the display screen 200, the touch signal trace 202 may also be disposed on the periphery of the effective display area of the display screen 200. The touch signal trace 202 may also be made of a transparent conductive material, and the transparent conductive material may be made of ITO, and the transparent conductive material does not affect the display effect of the display screen 200, so there is no limitation on the positional relationship between the touch signal trace 202 and the effective display area of the display screen 200.
Referring to fig. 4 again, in this embodiment, the capacitive touch screen assembly further includes a main control board 400 and a flexible circuit board (Flexible Printed Circuit, abbreviated as FPC) 300, and the touch signal trace 202 is connected to the main control board 400 through the flexible circuit board 300. Specifically, a screen driving interface 203 is disposed at a position of the display screen 200 near the edge, the touch signal trace 202 is connected to the screen driving interface 203, the internal trace of the display screen 200 is also connected to the screen driving interface 203, and the screen driving interface 203 is connected to the flexible circuit board 300, that is, the touch signal trace 202 and the internal trace of the display screen 200 are connected to the flexible circuit board 300 in a binding manner. The main control board 400 is provided with a main control chip 410, the main control chip 410 is provided with a touch detection pin 411, the flexible circuit board 300 is connected with the touch detection pin 411 through a lead 500, so that the conductive connection from the transparent conductive layer 120 to the main control chip 410 is realized, the capacitance change of the transparent conductive layer 120 is detected, and the function of a touch control area can be controlled through the main control board 400. In this embodiment, the touch signal trace 202 on the display screen 200 is led out through the flexible circuit board 300, and it is understood that in other embodiments, the touch signal trace 202 may be led out through other ways besides the flexible circuit board 300.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the transparent conductive layer 120, where the transparent conductive layer 120 includes one conductive region 120a or at least two conductive regions 120a separated from each other, each conductive region 120a is provided with a first electrical contact 121, and correspondingly, the touch signal trace 202 includes at least one circuit, one circuit corresponds to one first electrical contact 121, and each circuit is provided with a second electrical contact 201. When the number of the conductive areas 120a of the transparent conductive layer 120 is one, a structure of a single touch area is formed, and when the number of the conductive areas 120a of the transparent conductive layer 120 is two or more, two or more touch areas are formed, and functions correspondingly realized by the touch areas of the electronic atomization device can be generally a switch, a gear adjustment, and the like. Fig. 1 to 4 show a case where the transparent conductive layer 120 includes two conductive regions 120a separated from each other.
The conductive areas 120a of the transparent conductive layer 120 can be designed into different patterns and position distributions according to different applications and requirements, and the shape of each conductive area 120a of the transparent conductive layer 120 can be circular, rectangular or polygonal.
When the transparent conductive layer 120 has only one conductive area 120a, i.e., a single touch area, the conductive area 120a is provided with one first electrical contact 121, the number of lines of the touch signal traces 202 on the display screen 200 is one, the lines are provided with one second electrical contact 201, the lines are bound to the flexible circuit board 300, and the flexible circuit board 300 is connected to the touch detection pins 411 of the main control chip 410 through one wire 500, thereby realizing the electrical conduction from the main control chip 410 to the single touch area so as to realize the touch detection of the single touch area.
When the transparent conductive layer 120 has two or more conductive areas 120a, i.e., two or more touch areas, the number of conductive areas 120a, the number of first electrical contacts 121, the number of second electrical contacts 201, the number of lines of the touch signal traces 202 on the display screen 200, the number of touch detection pins 411 of the main control chip 410, and the number of wires 500 between the main control chip 410 and the flexible circuit board 300 are all the same, for example, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, when the transparent conductive layer 120 has two conductive areas 120a, each conductive area 120a is provided with one first electrical contact 121, the touch signal trace 202 on the display screen 200 has two lines, each line is provided with one second electrical contact 201, each line is bound to the flexible circuit board 300, and the flexible circuit board 300 draws two wires 500 to be respectively connected to the two touch detection pins 411 of the main control chip 410, thereby realizing the respective electrical conduction of the main control chip 410 to the two touch areas, so as to realize the respective touch detection of the two touch areas.
When the transparent conductive layer 120 includes two or more conductive regions 120a isolated from each other, the excessive conductive material can be removed on the entire transparent conductive layer 120 by etching, thereby forming a plurality of conductive regions 120a isolated from each other.
The application also provides electronic atomization equipment, which comprises the capacitive touch screen component. The specific structure of the capacitive touch screen assembly refers to the above embodiment, and because the electronic atomization device adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiment, the capacitive touch screen assembly at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, and is not described in detail herein. Wherein the electronic atomizing device generally refers to a device for generating aerosol with specific smell by heating and atomizing.
