Abstract
A touch-sensitive liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes a first substrate, a second substrate opposite to the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates. A first sensing line, a second sensing line, a reference capacitor, and a variable capacitor connected with the reference capacitor in series are arranged on the first substrate. A node between the reference capacitor and the variable capacitor is couple to the first and second sensing lines. A capacitance of the variable capacitor is changeable when acted upon an external pressure.
