An in-cell active matrix capacitive touch sensor using IGZO TFT is proposed in this paper. The sensor does not need touch deformation, complicated detection mechanisms or extra components. In the sensor, touching events are identified as capacitive coupling between internal detection electrodes and touch objects. Then the coupling can be converted to voltage signal and amplified. TFT sizes are decreased for the high mobility and good uniformity of IGZO, which result in a significantly improved accuracy. A capacitance with the order of 1 fF caused by the coupling could be detected and converted to an adequate output voltage signal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
