A touch display apparatus is disclosed, which includes a touch display panel and a driving circuit. The touch display panel is configured for display and touch sensing, which includes plural touch sensing pads arranged in touch sensing groups. The driving circuit is coupled to the touch display panel, and is configured to drive the touch display panel to perform display with respect to common voltage signal at a display stage of a frame period and to drive the touch display panel to perform touch sensing by applying a touch detection signal to all of the touch sensing pads simultaneously at a touch sensing stage of the frame period.

Touch display apparatus and method for touch display panel

A touch panel includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. The first electrode layer has transmitting electrodes arranged in transmitting channels and traces respectively coupled to the transmitting channels. The second electrode layer has receiving electrodes arranged in receiving channels. At least one of the traces, the transmitting channels and one of the receiving channels in proximity of the traces form touch detection blocks that respectively correspond to the transmitting channels. For each touch detection block, in a circle area overlapped with at least one of the traces and substantially in the touch detection block corresponding to one of the transmitting channels, a summation of areas of the corresponded transmitting channel and the trace coupled to the corresponded transmitting channel is substantially larger than a summation of areas of the other transmitting channels and the other traces.

Touch panel and touch display apparatus

A sensor pattern and a capacitive touch screen are provided. The sensor pattern comprises: a plurality of unit blocks, and a first unit block of the unit blocks comprises: a first 1st-type sensor element, a first 2nd-type sensor element, and a second 2nd-type sensor element. The first 1st-type sensor element is disposed on a first patterned layer, having a border trace, two parallel main traces, a bridge, a first cell, and a second cell, wherein the first and second cells are not aligned. The first 2nd-type sensor element is disposed on a second patterned layer, having a main trace and a sub-trace, wherein the main trace surrounds the first cell of the first 1st-type sensor element. The second 2nd-type sensor element is disposed on the second patterned layer, having a main trace and a sub-trace, wherein the main trace surrounds the second cell of the first 1st-type sensor element.
