Abstract

A touch sensitive detecting method, applicable to a touch panel or screen, comprises: setting at least one dummy pad to a dummy high voltage; after setting the at least one dummy pad to the dummy high voltage, setting a sensing electrode nearby the at least one dummy pad to floating; after the sensing electrode is set to floating, setting the at least one dummy pad to a ground voltage and a driving electrode to a driving voltage; measuring the voltage of the sensing electrode; setting the sensing electrode to the ground voltage and stopping measurement; and determining whether an externally conducted object is approximating or touching the touch panel or screen nearby the sensing electrode by comparing a difference between a threshold voltage and the measured voltage of the sensing electrode.
