Abstract
A touch sensing method for a touch panel and an electronic device are provided. The touch sensing method includes: selecting a portion of multiple touch sensing units as to-sense touch sensing units, applying first touch excitation signals to the those to obtain multiple first touch sensing signals, and obtaining multiple differential sensing signals based on multiple first touch sensing signals; selecting a touch sensing unit as a reference touch sensing unit, and applying a touch reference signal to it to obtain a reference sensing signal; selecting a to-sense touch sensing unit as a preprocessing touch sensing unit, and applying a second touch excitation signal to it to obtain a second touch sensing signal; obtaining a capacitance sensing signal from the reference sensing signal and the second touch sensing signal; and acquiring capacitance values of multiple to-sense touch sensing units according to the differential sensing signals and the capacitance sensing signal.
