A method of identifying a palm area for a touch panel has steps of: receiving sensing frame information having multiple touching sensing points from the touch panel; selecting one of the touching sensing points; outwardly extending a distance from an outline of the selected touching sensing point to define a searching range; checking whether other touching sensing points are within the searching range; marking the touching sensing points in the searching range and expanding the searching range based on the currently marked touching sensing points; sequentially selecting and checking each touching sensing point if it is within the present searching range; and finally merging all the outlines of the marked touching sensing points to form a final outline as a palm area. Other unmarked touching sensing points are defined as touching reference points.

A method of identifying edge swipe gesture has steps of respectively reading sensing signals on an edge area under a hover mode and on a non-edge area under a touch mode; determining if a touch object has appeared on the edge area after determining that the object has appeared on the non-edge area, calculating a displacement of the object moving from the edge area to the non-edge area within a preset time and determining if the displacement exceeds a preset distance, and determining that the movement of the touch is identified as an edge swipe gesture if the displacement meets the condition. Accordingly, the present invention can perform valid touch on the edge area, rendering effective identification of edge swipe gesture and an increased success rate of the identification.

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display module including housing, a flexible printed circuit board and a plurality of electric devices. The housing has at least a receiving notch. The flexible printed circuit board has a flexible substrate and at least an extension substrate projected from the flexible substrate to mount electric devices thereon. The extension substrate may be bent and received in the receiving notch of the housing to achieve the purpose of mounting more electric device on the flexible printed circuit board without having to increase the size of module.

Flexible printed circuit board and liquid crystal display with the flexible printed circuit board

A liquid crystal module has a liquid crystal panel and a flexible printed circuit board. The liquid crystal panel has a substrate and an indium tin oxide (ITO) film on the substrate. A flexible printed circuit board has an insulating layer on which a lower conductive layer, a second protective layer, an upper conductive layer and a first protective layer are stacked in sequence. The lower conductive layer is electrically connected to predetermined portions of the lower conductive layer and has a conductive portion, which is unshielded by the insulating layer. The flexible printed circuit board is bonded to the liquid crystal panel with the insulting layer stacked on the indium tin oxide film and the pins of the indium tin oxide film electrically connected to the conductive portion of the lower conductive layer.
