Abstract
A touch panel, a touch method of the touch panel, and a touch apparatus are provided. The touch panel includes: a touch layer including a plurality of touch areas; a pre-touch detection module configured to detect, among the plurality of touch areas, a touch area opposite to a touch object, the touch object being at a distance from the touch layer, the distance being greater than 0; and a pre-touch feedback module configured to generate a feedback signal based on the detected touch area. The feedback signals corresponding to the touch areas are different.
Claims14
A touch panel, comprising:
- a touch layer comprising a plurality of touch areas;
- a pre-touch detection module configured to detect, among the plurality of touch areas, a touch area opposite to a touch object, the touch object being at a distance from the touch layer, the distance being greater than 0;
- and
- a pre-touch feedback module configured to generate a feedback signal based on the detected touch area,
- wherein the feedback signals corresponding to the plurality of touch areas are different;
- wherein the feedback signal comprises an optical signal;
- wherein the optical signals corresponding to the plurality of touch areas are light having different colors;
- and
- wherein the pre-touch feedback module comprises a plurality of electroluminescent elements arranged at a side of the touch layer, the electroluminescent elements are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of touch areas, an orthographic projection of each of the plurality of electroluminescent elements on the touch layer is within a corresponding one of the plurality of touch areas, and the plurality of electroluminescent elements emit light having different colors.
A touch method of a touch panel, the touch panel comprising a touch layer having a plurality of touch areas, a pre-touch detection module and a pre-touch feedback module, the method comprising:
- detecting, by using the pre-touch detection module, a touch area of the plurality of touch areas opposite to a touch object when the touch object is at a distance from the touch layer, the distance being greater than 0;
- and
- controlling the pre-touch feedback module to generate a feedback signal based on the detected touch area,
- wherein the feedback signals corresponding to the plurality of touch areas are different;
- wherein the pre-touch feedback module comprises a plurality of electroluminescent elements arranged at a side of the touch layer, the electroluminescent elements are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of touch areas, an orthographic projection of each of the plurality of electroluminescent elements on the touch layer is within a corresponding one of the plurality of touch areas, the plurality of electroluminescent elements emit light having different colors, and
- the controlling the pre-touch feedback module to generate a feedback signal based on the detected touch area comprises controlling one of the plurality of electroluminescent elements corresponding to the detected touch area to emit light.
A touch apparatus, comprising a touch panel,
- wherein the touch panel comprises:
- a touch layer comprising a plurality of touch areas;
- a pre-touch detection module configured to detect, among the plurality of touch areas, a touch area opposite to a touch object, the touch object being at a distance from the touch layer, the distance being greater than 0;
- and
- a pre-touch feedback module configured to generate a feedback signal based on the detected touch area,
- wherein the feedback signals corresponding to the plurality of touch areas are different;
- wherein the feedback signal comprises an optical signal;
- and the optical signals corresponding to the plurality of touch areas are light having different colors;
- and
- wherein the pre-touch feedback module comprises a plurality of electroluminescent elements arranged at a side of the touch layer, the electroluminescent elements are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of touch areas, an orthographic projection of each of the plurality of electroluminescent elements on the touch layer is within a corresponding one of the plurality of touch areas, and the plurality of electroluminescent elements emit light having different colors.
