Touch sensor in which PCAP method and EMR method are combined

A touch sensor using both a projected capacitive (PCAP) method and an electro-magnetic resonance (EMR) method using a copper mesh, the touch sensor comprising a panel unit capable of performing touch recognition using both the PCAP method and the EMR method and a sensor unit configured to determine a touch method when the panel unit is touched and to perform the touch recognition depending on the touch method, wherein:

• the panel unit comprises:
• a first panel operated in the PCAP method;
• and
• a second panel operated in the EMR method,
• the sensor unit comprises:
• a first panel driving unit configured to operate the first panel;
• a second panel driving unit configured to operate the second panel;
• and
• a control unit configured to detect a change in capacitance of the first panel through the first panel driving unit, to detect a change in a magnetic field of the second panel through the second panel driving unit, and to determine the change in the capacitance and the change in the magnetic field so as to determine whether to operate the first panel driving unit or the second panel driving unit simultaneously or selectively,
• wherein electrode patterns of the first panel and an antenna loop pattern of the second panel are formed as the copper mesh, and
• wherein the control unit controls the second panel driving unit so as to stop supply of current to the second panel when it senses a change in the capacitance of the first panel, and the control unit controls the first panel driving unit so as to stop supply of current to the first panel when it senses a change in the magnetic field of the second panel.
