TOUCH SCREEN ADOPTING AN OPTICAL MODULE SYSTEM USING LINEAR INFRARED EMITTERS
First Claim
1. A touch screen which detects a touch position on an image screen displaying an image and executes a commend corresponding to the touch position, comprising:
- a linear infrared emitter which comprises a resin rod having a transparent circular shape in section and an infrared diffuse reflection line in a length direction thereof, and two infrared LEDs disposed at both ends of the resin rod so as to emit infrared rays into the resin rod, and which is independently disposed at least three sides of frame of a rectangular image screen so as to emit the infrared rays;
an optical module which is disposed at least two or more corner portions so as to monitor the entire image screen;
a control board which analyzes an infrared signal detected by the optical module and detects the touch position touched by a user.

Abstract
Disclosed is an optical modular touch screen using a linear infrared emitter, in which the linear infrared emitter is disposed at each of three or four sides of a rectangular frame defining the touch screen, and infrared rays emitted from the linear infrared emitter is detected through two or three optical modules, thereby recognizing a shadow generated by finger touch and grasping a position thereof.
The optical modular touch screen of the present invention includes a linear infrared emitter 40 which is independently disposed at least three sides 20b, 20c, 20d of frame 20 of a rectangular image screen 10 so as to emit the infrared rays; an optical module 30 which is disposed at least two or more corner portions so as to monitor the entire image screen 10; a control board 50 which analyzes an infrared signal detected by the optical module 30 and detects the touch position touched by a user.

5. A touch screen which detects a touch position on an image screen displaying an image and executes a command corresponding to the touch position, comprising:
-
a linear infrared emitter which comprises a resin rod having a transparent circular shape in section and an infrared diffuse reflection line in a length direction thereof, an infrared LED disposed at one end of the resin rod so as to emit infrared rays into the resin rod and a reflecting surface which is formed at the other end of the resin rod so as to reflect the infrared rays, and which is independently disposed at least three sides of frame of a rectangular image screen so as to emit the infrared rays; an optical module which is disposed at least two or more corner portions so as to monitor the entire image screen; a control board which analyzes an infrared signal detected by the optical module and detects the touch position touched by a user. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
