[0002] With the rapid development of display technology, touch display panels have broad application space in the fields of vehicle-mounted, mobile phone, tablet, computer and television. Generally speaking, touch function has become one of the standard configurations of most display panels, among which the application of capacitive touch display panels is more widespread. The basic principle is to generate a capacitance between a finger or a touch pen and a touch panel, and to use the electric signal formed by the capacitance change before and after touch to confirm whether the touch display panel is touched and to confirm the touch coordinates.
[0003] An important touch technology of capacitive touch display panels is mutual capacitance touch. Since mutual capacitance touch requires fewer touch driving signal lines, and touch function is realized through one or two layers of metal, it can meet the requirement of reducing the thickness of display panels. The existing single-layer mutual capacitance touch technology usually adopts a one-way scanning mode for driving. Since there is resistance in the touch driving signal bus, the touch driving signals received by the emission electrodes in different areas are delayed, resulting in reduced touch sensitivity of the touch display panel.

Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative and understanding purposes and not for limiting the application. In the figures, structurally similar units are represented by the same reference numerals.
[0039] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first type of touch display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. The touch display panel includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA surrounding the display area AA. The non-display area NA includes a lower border area DB disposed on one side of the display area AA.
[0041] The touch display panel includes a transmitting electrode TX and a receiving electrode RX. Both the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX are disposed in the display area AA. A plurality of transmitting electrodes TX are arranged in a row at intervals along a first direction X, and a plurality of transmitting electrodes TX are arranged in a column at intervals along a second direction Y. A plurality of receiving electrodes RX are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and the first direction X is different from the second direction Y.
[0042] In the embodiments of this application, using Figure 1 Taking the top-down view of the touch display panel as an example, the first direction X is the horizontal direction, the second direction Y is the vertical direction, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.
[0043] It should be noted that, Figure 1 Only m rows*n columns (m, n are positive integers) of the transmitting electrodes TX and n receiving electrodes RX are shown, which does not represent the actual number of the transmitting electrodes TX and the receiving electrodes RX contained in the touch display panel.
[0044] As Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 a schematic diagram of a laminated structure of a display area of a touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present application, the touch display panel comprising a substrate 10, a display device layer 20 disposed on the substrate 10, and an encapsulation layer 30 covering a light-emitting side of the display device layer 20.
[0045] The display device layer 20 comprises a thin film transistor array layer 21 disposed on the substrate 10 and a light-emitting device layer 22 disposed on the thin film transistor array layer 21.
[0046] The light-emitting device in the light-emitting device layer 22 can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), which can comprise an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an organic light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode which are sequentially stacked. In other embodiments, the light-emitting device in the light-emitting device layer 22 can also be a micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED) chip.
[0047] The encapsulation layer 30 can be a thin film encapsulation layer, which can specifically be an inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer, and a laminated structure formed by sequentially stacking the inorganic encapsulation layer and the organic encapsulation layer.
[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the touch display panel is a single-layer mutual-capacitance touch display panel, the transmitting electrodes TX and the receiving electrodes RX are disposed on the same layer, and the transmitting electrodes TX and the receiving electrodes RX are disposed in a staggered manner to form mutual capacitances.
[0049] The receiving electrodes RX and the multiple transmitting electrodes TX of the adjacent column are disposed in a staggered manner to form mutual capacitances.
[0050] As Figure 1 shown, each receiving electrode RX corresponds to a column of transmitting electrodes TX. Taking the first column of transmitting electrodes TX and the first receiving electrode RX as an example, the first receiving electrode RX and the multiple transmitting electrodes TX of the first column are disposed in a staggered manner to form mutual capacitances.
[0051] Specifically, the transmitting electrode TX includes a transmitting main stem TX' extending along the second direction Y and a plurality of transmitting branch stems TX'' extending from one side of the transmitting main stem TX' in a direction opposite to the first direction X and arranged at intervals.
[0052] The receiving electrode RX includes a receiving main stem RX' extending along the second direction Y and a plurality of receiving branch stems RX'' extending from one side of the receiving main stem RX' in the first direction X and arranged at intervals.
[0053] The transmitting branch stems TX'' of the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving branch stems RX'' of the receiving electrode RX are arranged alternately to form mutual capacitance. Figure 1 As shown, two adjacent transmitting branch stems TX'' of the transmitting electrode TX and the transmitting main stem TX' form a groove, and the receiving branch stem RX'' of the receiving electrode RX can be accommodated in the groove. Similarly, two adjacent receiving branch stems RX'' of the receiving electrode RX and the receiving main stem RX' can form a groove, and the transmitting branch stem TX'' of the transmitting electrode TX can be accommodated in the groove.
[0054] As shown in FIG. 1, the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX can be arranged on the light-emitting side of the display device layer 20 and on the side of the encapsulation layer 30 facing away from the display device layer 20. Figure 2
[0055] The transmitting electrode TX can be made of the same material as the receiving electrode RX, so that the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX can be prepared simultaneously by using the same metal film forming and patterning process. This can reduce the number of processes and the number of mask plates required for the processes, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency, and also reducing the thickness of the film layers of the display panel.
[0056] The touch display panel can further include an organic planarization layer 40 arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 30 facing away from the display device layer 20 and covering the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX.
[0057] In the actual preparation process, the light emitting device layer 22 can be formed on the thin film transistor array layer first, then the encapsulation layer 30 covering the light emitting device layer 22 is formed on the light emitting device layer 22, then a metal film is formed on the surface of the encapsulation layer 30 by physical vapor deposition (PVD), then a layer of photoresist is covered on the surface of the metal film, and the metal film is patterned by using yellow light process, and after stripping the photoresist, the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX are formed, then a layer of transparent organic material with high light transmittance is covered on the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX, and after the transparent organic material is solidified, the organic flat layer 40 is formed.
[0058] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 3 Another schematic diagram of the display area of the touch display panel is provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the structure of the touch display panel is substantially the same as that of the touch display panel shown in Figure 2 , the difference is that the touch display panel further comprises a touch insulating layer 50, the touch insulating layer 50 is arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 30 away from the display device layer 20, the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX are arranged on the side of the touch insulating layer 50 away from the encapsulation layer 30, and the organic flat layer 40 is arranged on the touch insulating layer 50 and covers the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX.
[0059] By adding the touch insulating layer 50 between the transmitting electrode TX, the receiving electrode RX and the display device layer 20, the distance between the transmitting electrode TX, the receiving electrode RX and the display device layer 20 is increased, so that the parasitic capacitance between the transmitting electrode TX, the receiving electrode RX and the cathode in the display device layer 20 can be reduced.
[0060] The material of the touch insulating layer 50 can be any one or a combination of multiple insulating materials in silicon nitride (SiNx), silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon oxynitride (SiNO) or organic matter.
[0061] As shown in Figure 1 , the touch display panel further comprises a plurality of touch driving signal buses 11, the touch driving signal buses 11 are arranged in the lower border area DB, and are used to transmit touch driving signals to the corresponding transmitting electrodes TX.
[0062] The touch display panel may further include multiple pads 13, multiple touch drive signal lines 12, and multiple touch sensing signal lines 15. One end of each touch drive signal line 12 extends into the display area AA and is electrically connected to a corresponding transmitting electrode TX. The other end of each touch drive signal line 12 extends into the lower bezel area DB and is electrically connected to a corresponding touch drive signal bus 11. One end of each touch sensing signal line 15 extends into the display area AA and is connected to a corresponding receiving electrode RX. The other end of each touch sensing signal line 15 extends into the lower bezel area DB and is electrically connected to a corresponding pad 13.
[0063] The lower border area DB may include a bonding area BA and a bending area FA. The bending area FA is disposed between the display area AA and the bonding area BA. The touch drive signal bus 11 may be disposed between the bending area FA and the bonding area BA. The bending area FA of the touch display panel can be bent so that the portion of the lower border area DB located on the side of the bending area FA away from the display area AA can be bent to the back of the touch display panel, thereby reducing the width of the lower border area DB of the touch display panel.
[0064] The pad 13 is disposed within the bonding area BA. The bonding area BA can be used to bond a touch driver chip. The touch driver signal bus 11 can be electrically connected to the pad 13. The touch driver signal output by the touch driver chip can be transmitted to the corresponding emitter electrode TX through the pad 13, the touch driver signal bus 11, and the touch driver signal trace 12.
[0065] Furthermore, multiple transmitting electrodes TX located in the same row are connected to the same touch driving signal bus 11, and the touch driving signal bus 11 transmits the touch driving signal simultaneously from both ends to the middle or from the middle to both ends of the corresponding row of transmitting electrodes TX.
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, taking the first row of emitting electrodes TX as an example, the n emitting electrodes TX1 to TXn located in the first row are connected to the same touch driving signal bus 11 through their respective touch driving signal traces 12. After receiving the touch driving signal output by the touch driving chip, the touch driving signal bus 11 transmits it to each emitting electrode through each touch driving signal trace 12. This avoids leading each touch driving signal trace 12 out to the bonding area BA and connecting it to the corresponding pad, thereby reducing the number of pads 13 in the bonding area BA, which can reduce the width of the bottom bezel area DB and thus increase the screen ratio of the touch display panel.
[0067] In one embodiment, the opposite ends of the touch driving signal bus 11 are electrically connected to two different pads 13, and the two pads 13 connected to the same touch driving signal bus simultaneously transmit the same touch driving signal to the touch driving signal bus 11.
[0068] As shown in FIG. 1, the opposite ends of the touch driving signal bus 11 connected to the first row of the transmission electrodes TX1-TXn extend to the binding area BA and are connected to two different pads 13 in the binding area BA, and the two pads 13 simultaneously transmit the same touch driving signal to the opposite ends of the touch driving signal bus 11 and then to the middle region of the touch driving signal bus 11, so as to drive the middle transmission electrode of the first row of the transmission electrodes TX1-TXn by the transmission electrodes TX1 and TXn at the left and right ends of the first row of the transmission electrodes. In this way, the uniformity of the touch driving signal received by each transmission electrode TX in the same row of the transmission electrodes can be ensured, and the driving capability of the transmission electrode TX can be improved, thereby improving the sensitivity of the touch display panel. Figure 1
[0069] In one embodiment, the middle region of the touch driving signal bus 11 is electrically connected to the corresponding pad 13.
[0070] As shown in FIG. 2, the structure of the touch display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the structure of the touch display panel shown in FIG. 1, except that the middle region of the touch driving signal bus 11 is electrically connected to the corresponding pad 13.

[0073] In one of the embodiments, both ends and the middle region of the touch control driving signal bus 11 are electrically connected to different pads 13, and different pads 13 connected to the same touch control driving signal bus 11 simultaneously transmit the same touch control driving signal.
[0074] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 5 Another structure diagram of a touch control display panel is provided in the embodiments of the present application, and the structure of the touch control display panel is substantially the same as that of the touch control display panel shown in Figure 1 , the difference is that the touch control driving signal bus 11 can not only extend to the binding area BA through both ends and be connected to the pads 13 in the binding area BA, but also extend to the binding area BA through the lead lines 14 in the middle region of the touch control driving signal bus 11 and be connected to the corresponding pads 13, and three pads 13 connected to the touch control driving signal bus 11 can simultaneously transmit the same touch control driving signal to both ends and the middle region of the touch control driving signal bus 11, so that the first row of the transmitting electrodes can be simultaneously driven from both sides to the middle and from the middle to both sides, thereby further improving the driving capability of the transmitting electrodes on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, and further improving the sensitivity of the touch control display panel.
[0075] In one of the embodiments, a plurality of lead lines 14 can also be led out from a plurality of regions on the touch control driving signal bus 11 and extend to the binding area BA to be connected to a plurality of corresponding pads 13, so as to simultaneously drive a plurality of columns of the transmitting electrodes corresponding to the touch control driving signal bus 11 by using a plurality of pads 13, so that the driving capability of the transmitting electrodes TX can also be improved, thereby improving the sensitivity of the touch control display panel. In this embodiment, the number of lead lines 14 can be set according to actual conditions, which is not limited here.
[0076] Further, the touch control driving signal wire 12 and the transmitting electrode TX are arranged on the same layer, and the touch control driving signal wire 12 and the touch control driving signal bus 11 are arranged on different layers.
[0077] In the embodiments of the present application, the touch control driving signal wire 12 can be arranged on the side of the encapsulation layer 30 away from the display device layer 20 together with the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX, or the touch control driving signal wire 12 can also be arranged on the side of the touch junction layer 50 away from the encapsulation layer 30 together with the transmitting electrode TX and the receiving electrode RX. The organic planar layer 40 covers the transmitting electrode TX, the receiving electrode RX and the touch control driving signal wire 12.

[0083] In one of the embodiments, as Figure 7As shown, multiple touch driving signal buses 11 can be disposed on the same layer as the fourth metal layer M4 and made of the same material as the fourth metal layer M4. The touch driving signal traces 12 can be disposed on the pixel definition layer 216 within the lower border area DB and connected to the touch driving signal buses 11 through vias VA penetrating the pixel definition layer 216.
