Abstract:
An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a housing that comprises a first surface which faces a first direction and a second surface which faces a second direction opposite to the first direction, and that comprises a first transparent plate which forms at least a portion of the first surface of the housing; a display that is disposed between the first transparent plate and the second face of the housing, and comprises a second transparent plate which faces the first direction, and a third transparent plate which faces the second direction; a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, and a fourth electrode that are disposed between the second transparent plate and the third transparent plate; and a control circuit that is electrically connected to the first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, and the fourth electrode, wherein the control circuit may be configured to detect the position of touch input with respect to the first transparent plate by using the first electrode, to detect the intensity of the touch input by using the second electrode, and to display visual information on at least a portion of the display by using the third electrode and the fourth electrode. In addition, an electronic device comprising a pressure sensor according to various embodiments of the present invention can provide a slim electronic device with reduced manufacturing costs by utilizing an integrated structure with a touch sensor and/or a fingerprint sensor and by disposing the touch sensor including the pressure sensor, and other sensors between various structures inside the display.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a pressure-sensing type touch panel including a plurality of sheets laminated to have a one-sheet structure, the touch panel being bonded to a rear surface of a flexible display. The pressure-sensing type touch panel has flexibility and stably recognizes the touch of an object even when incurring such deformations as bending, rolling or folding.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing a bending event of a touch screen in a portable terminal. The method includes counting a number of touch sensing values of the touch screen; comparing the number of the touch sensing values with a threshold; determining that a bending event occurs in the touch screen when the number of the touch sensing values is at least equal to the threshold; and performing at least one of correction of an error of the touch sensing values, a function of the portable terminal allocated to the bending event upon a determination that the bending event occurs.
Abstract:
A pressure sensitive touch panel is provided, which includes first sensor lines arranged along a first axis; second sensor lines arranged along a second axis that cross the first axis; a drive unit that sequentially applies a scan signal to the first sensor lines, and sequentially detects detection signals of the second sensor lines; and a controller that controls the drive unit to selectively apply the scan signal to one of the first sensor lines and to selectively detect a detection signal from one of the second sensor lines.
