Description

Touch panel module and electronic computer with touch panel module

The present invention relates to the field of input devices, in particular, to an input device with touch function.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the vigorous development of electronic equipment has brought a lot of convenience to human life. Therefore, how to make the operation of electronic equipment more humane is an important issue. For example, the common electronic devices in daily life are notebook computers, mobile phones, satellite navigation devices, etc. As the storage capacity and processor computing performance of these electronic devices are greatly improved, the functions they have become increasingly powerful and complex. . In order to operate these electronic devices efficiently, manufacturers of electronic devices use touch pads as input devices to operate these electronic devices.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a conventional notebook computer and its touch panel module. The touchpad module 1 is disposed in the casing 21 of the notebook computer 2, and is at least partially exposed for the user to touch and operate the notebook computer 2. For example, the user can touch the touchpad module with fingers. Group 1 and slide on the touchpad module 1 to move the cursor 23 on the screen 22, or press the touchpad module 1 to make the notebook computer 2 perform a specific function, because the touchpad module 1 It can replace the function of the mouse, so that the user does not need to bring the inconvenience caused by the additional carrying or installation of the mouse.
