ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028166 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display panel and an input sensor. The input sensor has first and second sensing electrodes that extend in different directions. A sensor controller is connected to the input sensor. The input sensor defines first and second areas based on the input position. The sensor controller applies a first signal to the first sensing electrodes in the first area and a second signal with an opposite phase to the second sensing electrodes in the second area.
- The electronic device includes a display panel and an input sensor with sensing electrodes.
- The input sensor divides the sensor into first and second areas based on the input position.
- The sensor controller applies different signals to the sensing electrodes in the first and second areas.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Touchscreen devices: The technology can be used in touchscreen devices to accurately detect and interpret touch inputs.
- Gesture recognition: By analyzing the input position and signals from the sensing electrodes, the device can recognize and interpret various gestures made by the user.
- Gaming: The technology can enhance gaming experiences by providing precise and responsive touch and gesture controls.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate touch detection: The technology allows for accurate detection of touch inputs, reducing errors and improving user experience.
- Interference reduction: By applying different signals to the sensing electrodes, the technology helps reduce interference and noise from external sources, improving the reliability of input detection.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience: The accurate touch detection and gesture recognition capabilities enhance the overall user experience of electronic devices.
- Enhanced functionality: The technology enables more advanced touch and gesture-based interactions, expanding the functionality of electronic devices.
- Reduced interference: By reducing interference and noise, the technology improves the reliability and accuracy of input detection.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device includes a display panel, an input sensor disposed on the display panel and including first sensing electrodes extending in a first direction and second sensing electrodes extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and a sensor controller connected to the input sensor. first and second areas are defined in the input sensor based on an input position to which an input by an input device is applied. the input position is located in the first area and not in the second area. the sensor controller applies a first signal to at least one first sensing electrode disposed in the first area and at least one second sensing electrode disposed in the first area and applies a second signal having an opposite phase to a phase of the first signal to the other first and second sensing electrodes disposed in the second area.
