Abstract
A touch panel has a first zone, a second zone and a third zone. The first zone includes a first vertical distance, which is less than a first value and greater than a second value, from the surface of the planar display, and includes a center of the planer display. The second zone includes the first vertical distance and is located outside the first zone with respect to the two dimensional coordinates. The third zone includes a second vertical distance, which is greater than the first value, from the surface of the planar display. When the indicator directly enters the second zone from the third zone, the two dimensional coordinates of the indicator are invalid. The two dimensional coordinates of the indicator are valid coordinates, when the indicator directly enters the second zone from the third zone, or when the indicator directly enters the first zone from the third zone.
