Smartphone is integrated into the daily lives of all types of people not even young generation. A touch screen display is a primary input device of a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc. While there are many tough technologies in existence, resistive and capacitive are dominant and currently lead the touch screen panel industry. And a capacitive touch screen panel widely used in smart phones is coated with a material that stores electrical charges. In this study, we tried to manufacture gloves produced with electro-conducting leather as a tool to operate a touch panel screen. Therefore, electrically conductive materials, Polyaniline(PANI), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were applied to the surface of leather to be used as a touching operator for capacitive touch screen panel. The leather samples were treated by simple painting method; firstly, they were painted with aqueous solution containing each of the electrically conductive materials and then dried. This cycle was repeated three times. Consequently, the treated leather samples showed electrical conductivity and reasonable working performance to the capacitive touch screen. And, PANI showed the best performance and highest electrical conductivity, and then PEDOT and, CNT in decreasing order. This is because the solubilities of PANI and PEDOT show higher than dispersibility of CNT. Thus, the concentration of conducting polymers was greater than that of CNT in the treating solutions.

This paper introduces a 2-dimensional touch screen panel driver based on an improved capacitive sensing circuit. The improved capacitive sensing circuit based on charge pump can eliminate the remaining charges of the intermediate nodes, which may cause output voltage drift. The touch screen panel driver with mixed-mode circuits was built and simulated using Cadence Spectre. Verilog-A models the digital circuits effectively and enables them to interface with analog circuits easily. From the simulation results, we can verify the reliable operations of the simple structured touch screen panel driver based on the improved capacitive sensing circuit offering no voltage drift.

This paper introduces a multi-touch recognition and tracking method for self capacitive TSP(Touch Screen Pannel). Self capacitive TSP recognizes finger touches by sensing capacitive change of ITO transparent conducting film arranged by rows and columns on the TSP pannel. They have some advantages such as high SNR, fast sensing, and simple touch processing, but have very difficulties for multi-touch processing. This disadvantage makes that the mutual capacitive TSPs, which have no such disadvantage, have been more widely used especially for multi-touch applications. However, since the other applications for remote control pad or recently developed wearable devises have only restrictive requirements for multi-touch, the disadvantage of self capacitive TSP is not a critical problem. In this paper, we first describe multi-touch recognition problems in self capacitive TSP and then propose how to overcome those problems and a tracking method of two touches when they are moving. Experimental results of our method showed that our algorithm works well in two touches.

This paper introduces a touch screen panel driver using modified charge pump circuit. The touch screen panel driver is composed of an analog circuit part which senses a touch and a digital circuit which analyse the sensed signal. To verify the functions the touch screen panel driver, a mixed-mode circuit was built and simulated using Cadence Spectre. The digital circuits were modeled with Verilog-A in order to interface with the analog circuits and verify the functionalities of the driver with less simulation time. From the simulation results, we can verify the reliable operations of the simple structured touch screen panel driver which does not include an ADC.

This paper describes a contact position detection method of a capacitive touch screen panel. The proposed method is composed of a circuited compensating algorithm generating an output signal having phase difference to an input signal associated with contact position, converts both input and output signals into digital waveform (5V logic), and calculates the phase difference. Finally, position information with the phase difference is obtained by using a low-cost microprocessor, which is convenient to compensate non-linearity error. The proposed method, that computes phase difference directly, has advantages in feasibility and cost because it minimizes the use of analog devices; rather, it utilizes, cost effective digital circuit. Analytical results are also given.

In this paper, we propose a novel tangible interface system whose system does not use the expensive hardware is introduced. This proposed tangible interface is used on the table top capacitive multi touch-screen. The tangible interface apparatus which is called smart puck has sanguine arduino compatible board. The board has a Cds photo-sensing sensor and the EPP8266 WiFi module. The Cds sensor decodes the photometric PWM signals from the system and sends corresponding information to the system via TCP/IP. The system has a server called MT-Server to communicate with the smart pucks. The tangible interface shows reliable operation with fast response that is compatible to the expensive traditional devices in the market.

A new hybrid-type touch screen panel (TSP) has been developed based on a-Si:H TFT which can detect the change of both $C_{LC}$ and photo-current. This TSP can detect the difference of $C_{LC}$ between touch and no-touch states in unfavorable conditions such as dark ambient light and shadows. The hybrid TSP sensor consists of a detection area which includes one TFT for photo sensing and two TFTs for amplification. Compared to a single internal capacitive TSP or an optical sensing TSP, this new proposed hybrid-type TSP enables larger sensing margin due to embedding of both optical and capacitive sensors.

This paper presents a compact and low-power on-chip touch sensor and readout circuit using shunt proximity touch sensor and its design scheme. In the proposed touch sensor readout circuit, the touch panel condition depending on the proximity of the finger is directly converted into the corresponding voltage level without additional signal conditioning procedures. Furthermore, the additional circuitry including the comparator and the flip-flop does not consume any static current, which leads to a low-power design scheme. A new prototype touch sensor readout integrated circuit was fabricated using complementally metal oxide silicon (CMOS) $0.18{\mu}m$ technology with core area of $0.032mm^2$ and total current of $125{\mu}A$. Our measurement result shows that an actual 10.4 inches capacitive type touch screen panel (TSP) can detect the finger size from 0 to 1.52 mm, sharply.

A simple RC circuit model of large-scale touch screen panels is developed and the frequency range of the RC model is analyzed. 2D EM simulation results of a single touch cell are cascaded for a 23 inch touch panel using a circuit simulator, and the shortest and longest channels of the full panel are modeled with a 5-element RC circuit. The 5-element RC circuit can model the touch screen panel upto 130 kHz with the channel phase error of $10^{\circ}$. 7-element RC circuit model is also proposed and the frequency range for the channel phase error of $10^{\circ}$ is extended to 200 kHz.
