Touchscreen display device and related method
First Claim
1. A display device, comprising:
- a display element configured to display images;
a touch substrate at which a touch is generated, wherein the touch substrate overlaps the display element;
a first angle sensor disposed at a first corner of the touch substrate for determining a first touch angle related to the touch;
a second angle sensor disposed at a second corner of the touch substrate for determining a second touch angle related to the touch;
a force sensor disposed at the first corner of the touch substrate corresponding to the first angle sensor for determining a distance from the force sensor to the touch; and
a computation part configured to determine a touch coordinate associated with the touch based on the first touch angle determined by the first angle sensor, the second touch angle determined by the second angle sensor, and the distance determined by the force sensor.

Abstract
A display device includes a display element. The display device may include a touch substrate overlapping the display element and may overlap an external object when the external object provides a touch to the display device. The display device may include a first angle sensor disposed at a first corner of the touch substrate for determining a first touch angle related to the touch. The display device may include a second angle sensor disposed at a second corner of the touch substrate for determining a second touch angle related to the touch. The display device may include a force sensor disposed at the first corner of the touch substrate for determining a distance related to the touch. The display device may include a computation part configured to determine a touch coordinate associated with the touch based on the first touch angle, the second touch angle, and the distance.

22. A method for operating a display device, the method comprising:
-
sensing, using a first angle sensor disposed at a first corner of a touch substrate, a first touch angle related to a touch; sensing, using a second angle sensor disposed at a second corner of the touch substrate, a second touch angle related to the touch; determining, using a force sensor disposed at the first corner of the touch substrate corresponding to the first angle sensor, a distance from the touch to the force sensor; determining, using the force sensor, a magnitude of a sensor force related to the touch and received at the force sensor; determining, using a computation part, a touch coordinate related to the touch using the first touch angle sensed by the first angle sensor, the second touch angle sensed by the second angle sensor, and the distance determined by the force sensor; and determining, using at least one of the computation part and the force sensor, a magnitude of a touch force related to the touch using the magnitude of the sensor force and the distance. - View Dependent Claims (23)
