Abstract

The present invention provides a touch panel, a method for detecting touch positions thereof and a touch display apparatus. The touch panel comprises first sensing pads arranged along a first direction, second sensing pads arranged along a second direction and third sensing pads arranged along a third direction. The method comprises the following steps: detecting a capacitance variation of the first sensing pads; detecting a capacitance variation of the second sensing pads; detecting a capacitance variation of the third sensing pads; and determining the at least one touch position according to the capacitance variation of the sensing pads. The present invention can improve the ghost-point problem of multiple touching.
