[0047] Combined reference Picture 9 ,show Figure 8 The top view schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the touch screen substrate shown, in order to make the structure and position of the shielding layer clearer, Picture 9 Only the shielding layer 209, the touch structure layer 202, the output leads 210 of the touch structure layer 202, and the common electrode layer 204 are shown in FIG.
[0048] In this embodiment, a single-layer electrode touch structure layer is taken as an example. In the single-layer electrode touch structure layer, the driving electrode and the sensing electrode are located in the same layer. Specifically, at the touch display area 211, the touch The structure layer 202 includes: a plurality of driving electrodes 2021 arranged in columns, a plurality of strip-shaped sensing electrodes 2022, each column of driving electrodes 2021 and sensing electrodes 2022 are spaced apart, the driving electrodes 2021 and adjacent sensing electrodes 2022 form a mutual capacitance At the overlap area 212a between the peripheral leads of the pixel array substrate and the output leads 210 of the touch structure layer 202 of the touch screen substrate, the output leads 210 of the touch structure layer 202 include drive electrode leads 2023 and sense electrode leads 2024, The driving electrode 2021 is connected to a driving circuit (not shown) through a driving electrode lead 2023, and the sensing electrode 2022 is connected to a detection circuit (not shown) through a sensing electrode lead 2024.
[0049] In the overlap area 212a, the shielding layer 209 is the same layer and the same material as the common electrode layer 204 in the touch display area 211, so that the shielding layer 209 and the common electrode layer 204 can be prepared at the same time without additional preparation steps . Specifically, the material of the shielding layer 209 is indium tin oxide (ITO), and the thickness of the shielding layer 209 is between 1000 and 1500. In the range.
[0050] In this embodiment, the shielding layer 209 includes a first shielding layer 2091 and a second shielding layer 2092, and the first shielding layer 2091 and the second shielding layer 2092 are mutually independent rectangular conductive films arranged on the same layer. Wherein, the first shielding layer 2091 is disposed in the peripheral lead area 212a between the driving electrode lead 2023 and the peripheral lead (including the common electrode lead and the scan line lead) of the pixel array substrate, and is electrically connected to the ground; The second shielding layer 2092 is disposed in the peripheral lead area 212a between the sensing electrode lead 2024 and the peripheral lead (including the common electrode lead and the scan line lead) of the pixel array substrate, and is electrically connected to the ground.
[0051] Such as Picture 9 As shown, the common electrode layer 204 includes a plurality of first common electrodes 2041 and second common electrodes 2042 arranged at intervals; the first common electrode 2041 and the driving electrode 2021 are arranged opposite to each other in the light transmission direction, and the second common electrode 2042 and the sensing The electrodes 2022 are arranged directly opposite; all the first common electrodes 2041 are connected to the ground terminal 303 in parallel, and all the second common electrodes 2042 are connected to the ground terminal 304 in parallel. In this way, coupling of the driving electrode and the sensing electrode through the parasitic capacitance formed with the common electrode can be avoided, and the detection signal-to-noise ratio can be further improved.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first shielding layer 2091 is electrically connected to the first common electrode layer 2041 through a connecting wire (not shown), and then electrically connected to the ground terminal 303; the second shielding layer 2092 is electrically connected to the ground terminal 303 through a connecting wire (not shown) (Not shown) is electrically connected to the second transparent conductive layer 2042, and further electrically connected to the ground terminal 304. It should be noted that, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the first shielding layer 2091 can also be integrated with the first common electrode 2041, that is to say, the ITO used as the first common electrode 2041 extends to the peripheral lead area. , Covering the driving electrode lead 2023, the second shielding layer 2092 can also be integrated with the second common electrode 2042, that is to say, the ITO used as the second common electrode 2042 extends to the peripheral lead area, covering the sensing The electrode lead 2024.
[0053] It should also be noted that, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the common electrode includes a first common electrode 2041 and a second common electrode 2042.

The shield can be grounded through other components. In addition, the first shielding layer 2091 and the second shielding layer 2092 may not be connected to the ground through a common electrode, as long as the two are grounded separately, and those skilled in the art can make corresponding modifications, substitutions and deformations according to the above-mentioned embodiments.
[0054] The present invention also provides a second embodiment of the touch display device. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the touch structure layer is a two-layer electrode touch structure, that is, the driving electrodes and the sensing electrodes are located in different layers, and An insulating layer is arranged between the driving electrode and the sensing electrode. reference Picture 10 ,show Figure 8 The top view of the second embodiment of the touch screen substrate in the touch display device is shown.

Since the driving electrode leads 405 (sensing electrode leads 406) and the peripheral leads of the pixel array (such as scan line leads or common electrode leads) overlap, a large mutual capacitance will be generated. The touch display device is also provided in the peripheral lead area. The first shielding layer 403 and the second shielding layer 404 are arranged between the driving electrode lead 405 and the peripheral leads of the pixel array, and the second shielding layer 404 is connected to the ground and arranged at the sensor Between the electrode lead 406 and the peripheral lead of the pixel array, the first shielding layer 403 and the second shielding layer 404 are respectively electrically connected to the ground.
