Reduction of Common Mode Noise and Global Multivalued Offset in Touch Screen Systems by Correlated Double Sampling
Touch-based interactivity has become an important function in displays. This paper reports on the signal processing of touch signals in which touch interactivity is processed as an image, and correlated double sampling (CDS) algorithm is applied for both common-mode noise reduction and global multivalued offset cancellation. Based on experimental results, we achieved a boost in SNR of 7.6 dB. The processed signal reduces detection errors and power consumption of the system

A Multi-functional Touch Panel for Multi-Dimensional Sensing in Interactive Displays
This thesis presents a flexible graphene/polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)/graphene sandwich for three-dimensional touch interactivity. Here, an x-y plane touch is sensed using graphene capacitive elements, while force sensing in the z-direction is by a piezoelectric PVDF/graphene sandwich. By employing different frequency bands for the capacitive- and force-induced electrical signals, the two stimuli are detected simultaneously, achieving three-dimensional touch sensing. Static force sensing and elimination of propagated stress are achieved by augmenting the transient piezo output with the capacitive touch, thus overcoming the intrinsic inability of the piezoelectric material in detecting non-transient force signals and avoiding force touch mis-registration by propagated stress. As a capacitive signal is important for force touch interpretation, optimization algorithms have been developed and implemented. With correlated double sampling (CDS) and spatial low-pass filtering (SLPF) based techniques, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the capacitive touch signal is boosted by 15.6 dB, indicating improved detection accuracy. In terms of the readout speed, fixed pattern and random pattern related down-sampling techniques are applied, giving rise to reductions in both readout time (11.3 ms) and power consumption (8.79 mW).China Scholarship Counci
