Abstract
A capacitive-type touch panel and a touch-point detecting method thereof are provided. The capacitive-type touch panel includes a plurality of first-dimension sensing lines and a plurality of second-dimension sensing lines arranged crossing over one another and in a matrix. When detecting a first touch point and a second touch point existed on the capacitive-type touch panel at the same time by scanning the capacitive-type touch panel, locations of the first touch point and the second touch point are determined according to detected currents in the first-dimension sensing lines and the second-dimension sensing lines. Capacitances of each of the first-dimension sensing lines are gradually decreased along a first direction, and capacitances of each of the second-dimension sensing lines are gradually decreased along a second direction.
