Problems solved by technology

[0002] Existing touch screens basically use ITO as the conductive layer. Since ITO is not resistant to bending, it cannot be folded and used. Therefore, in the display field, ITO can only be used as an ideal material for flat display.
However, with the ever-changing changes in the display industry, the size of the flat display is getting larger and larger, which is very convenient to use, but it is very inconvenient to take and place because the screen is too large, so the curved display and foldable Display devices have become a popular research direction at present, and foldable devices can effectively reduce the space for picking up and placing devices while ensuring ease of use, and can significantly improve the convenience of use, thus becoming a recognized future display trend. Display devices The foldable of the display mainly includes two parts, the foldable display and the foldable touch screen on the surface of the display. The foldable research of the display, including Samsung and LG, are at the forefront, and there are corresponding prototypes available. The most important interface for interaction—on the foldable touch screen, there is still no good way to realize the foldable. One of the main reasons is that the current touch screen is basically made of ITO, and ITO is easy to crack and break, and cannot withstand more than 90 The inward bending of more than 30 degrees, and the outward bending of more than 30 degrees will easily crack and damage the ITO
[0003] For example, the foldable display device introduced in patent No. CN105324807A / CN105810104A etc. is actually two display screens, and the two display screens are on the same plane when in use through the bending device in the middle, and can be folded in half when not in use, and can be foldable device, but in fact it only forms a folding effect through external mechanical parts, and cannot really realize the complete folding of the entire screen
This kind of structure that requires a bending device in the middle is complicated, the process is complicated, and the problem of signal short circuit between the two display screens is prone to occur, and the service life is short
[0004] Patent No. CN106373490 introduces a foldable device, which can realize inward and outward 180-degree bending without adding other auxiliary devices, but does not explain the characteristics of the foldable touch screen used in the display device
