What it covers

Ghost resolution sensing methods are provided for capacitive touch panels. When ghost is detected involving two points on a capacitive touch panel, for each of the two points, the intersected traces at that one are concurrently charged to sense the capacitance value from either one of the intersected traces, and according thereto, a real point and a ghost point can be distinguished from each other. Alternatively, the intersected traces are crisscross driven by two synchronous and in phase signals or synchronous but out of phase signals, to sense the capacitance values at the two points. Preferably, intersectional calibration is performed in conjunction therewith, to recognize the real points.
