DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete and the concepts of the example embodiments are fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0057] In the drawings, the thickness of regions and layers may be exaggerated for clarity. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0058] The described features, structures or characteristics may be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, materials, etc. may be adopted. In other cases, known structures, materials or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid blurring the main technical ideas of the present disclosure.

[0059] When a structure is “on” another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is “directly” disposed on the other structure, or that the structure is “indirectly” disposed on the other structure via another structure.

[0060] The terms "a", "an", "the" are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "including" and "having" are used to indicate an open-ended inclusive meaning and mean that there may be additional elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc. The terms "first" and "second" etc. are used only as labels and are not intended to limit the quantity of their objects.

[0061] Electrostatic tactile feedback technology changes the voltage applied to the touch screen to affect the Coulomb force received by the user's fingers, thereby changing the friction felt by the user's fingers during the operation, thereby achieving a tactile sensation on the touch screen.

[0062] In the related art, the tactile feedback technology of the touch display screen is usually to make a floating electrode layer on the cover plate of the display panel, and set a hardened protective film on the surface of the floating electrode layer. By changing the voltage of the touch electrode in the touch display screen, the voltage coupled between the floating electrode and the finger is changed, and then the friction force felt by the user's finger during the operation is changed, so that the user can experience the tactile feedback content such as the texture and contour of the display pattern during the operation.

[0063] However, in the related art, the hardened protective film on the surface of the floating electrode layer is very thin, so the floating electrode layer has a high risk of being scratched. Moreover, for foldable display products, the floating electrode layer also has the risk of bending and breaking, so that the coupling capacitance between the user's finger and the touch screen is insufficient, and the user cannot experience the tactile feedback content such as the texture and contour of the display pattern.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a display panel is provided, comprising a substrate 01; a touch layer 04, which is disposed on one side of the substrate 01, the touch layer 04 comprises a first electrode 41 and a second electrode 42, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 are insulated from each other; a first floating electrode layer 08, which is disposed on a side of the touch layer 04 away from the substrate 01, the first floating electrode layer 08 and the touch layer 04 are insulated from each other, the first floating electrode layer 08 comprises a first floating electrode 81, the orthographic projection of the first floating electrode 81 on the substrate 01 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 41 on the substrate 01; a second floating electrode layer 10, which is disposed on a side of the first floating electrode layer 08 away from the substrate 01, the second floating electrode layer 10 and the first floating electrode layer 08 are insulated from each other, the second floating electrode layer 10 comprises a second floating electrode 101, the orthographic projection of the second floating electrode 101 on the substrate 01 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 41 on the substrate 01; and a protective layer 11, which is disposed on a side of the second floating electrode layer 10 away from the substrate 01 and covers the second floating electrode layer 10.

[0065] The display panel provided by the present disclosure includes a substrate 01, a touch layer 04, a first floating electrode layer 08, a second floating electrode layer 10 and a protective layer 11. The touch layer 04 includes a first electrode 41 and a second electrode 42, the first floating electrode layer 08 includes a first floating electrode 81, and the second floating electrode layer 10 includes a second floating electrode 101, and the orthographic projections of the first floating electrode 81 and the second floating electrode 101 on the substrate 01 overlap with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 41 on the substrate 01. The present disclosure is conducive to increasing the coupling capacitance between the user's finger and the touch layer 04 by setting two layers of floating electrode layers, thereby effectively improving the tactile feedback effect. In addition, when the second floating electrode layer 10 is scratched or the first floating electrode layer 08 is bent and broken, the two layers of floating electrode layers set by the present disclosure can effectively reduce the loss of the coupling capacitance between the user's finger and the touch layer 04, thereby helping to ensure the size of the electrostatic force at the finger end, and ensuring that the user can continue to experience the tactile feedback content such as the texture and contour of the display pattern.

[0066] The components of the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0067] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present disclosure provides a display panel, which can be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panel. The display panel includes a driving backplane and a light-emitting layer 02. The driving backplane includes a substrate 01 and a driving layer (not shown) disposed on one side of the substrate 01, the driving layer is provided with a driving circuit, and the light-emitting layer 02 is disposed on the side of the driving layer away from the substrate 01, including a plurality of light-emitting devices, and each light-emitting device of the light-emitting layer 02 can be driven to emit light by the driving circuit. Specifically, the driving circuit includes a pixel circuit, and the pixel circuit can be a pixel circuit such as 7T1C, 7T2C, 6T1C or 6T2C, as long as it can drive the light-emitting device to emit light, and its structure is not specifically limited here. The number of pixel circuits is the same as the number of light-emitting devices, and is connected to each light-emitting device in a one-to-one correspondence so as to control each light-emitting device to emit light respectively. Among them, nTmC means that a pixel circuit includes n transistors (represented by the letter "T") and m capacitors (represented by the letter "C").

[0068] The driving backplane may be formed by a plurality of film layers, and the driving backplane may include a substrate 01 and a driving layer (not shown) disposed on one side of the substrate 01. The substrate 01 may be a single-layer or multi-layer structure, and it may be a hard or flexible structure, which is not specifically limited here. The above-mentioned driving circuit may be located in the driving layer. Taking the transistor in the driving circuit as a top-gate thin-film transistor as an example, the driving layer may include an active layer, a first gate insulating layer, a gate electrode, a second gate insulating layer, an interlayer dielectric layer, a source-drain electrode layer, and a planarization layer, etc., which are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the substrate 01. Of course, the transistor in the driving circuit may also be a bottom-gate thin-film transistor, which may specifically include a first gate electrode layer, a first gate insulating layer, a first active layer, a first source-drain electrode layer, and a planarization layer, etc., which are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the substrate. This structure is not the focus of the present invention, and therefore, it is not described in detail here.

[0069] The light-emitting layer 02 is arranged on one side of the driving backplane, specifically on the side of the driving layer away from the substrate. The light-emitting layer 02 includes a pixel definition layer and a plurality of light-emitting devices separated by the pixel definition layer. The pixel definition layer is provided with openings for exposing the light-emitting devices. Specifically, the pixel definition layer may be provided with a plurality of openings, and the range defined by each opening is the range of a light-emitting device. The shape of the opening, that is, the shape of the outline of the orthographic projection of the opening on the driving backplane may be a polygon, a smooth closed curve or other shapes, which are not specifically limited here.

[0070] The light-emitting device can be connected to each pixel circuit in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to emit light under the drive of the driving circuit. The light-emitting device may include an anode, a light-emitting functional layer and a cathode stacked in sequence in a direction away from the driving backplane. The materials of the anode and the cathode may include one or more of conductive metals, metal oxides and alloys. The light-emitting functional layer is at least partially disposed in the opening, and may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting material layer, an electron transport layer and an electron injection layer stacked in sequence in a direction away from the driving backplane. The holes and electrons can be compounded into excitons in the light-emitting material layer, and the excitons radiate photons, thereby generating visible light. The specific light-emitting principle will not be described in detail here.

[0071] The color of the light emitting device can be the same color. In this case, the color filter layer can be used to achieve color display. Of course, since the light emitting material layers of each light emitting device are independent of each other, different light emitting devices can also directly emit light of different colors.

[0072] Continue as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the display panel provided by the present disclosure further includes an encapsulation layer 03. The encapsulation layer 03 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting layer 02 away from the driving backplane, and covers the light-emitting layer 02. It can be used to protect the light-emitting layer 02 and prevent external water and oxygen from corroding the light-emitting device.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, encapsulation can be achieved by thin-film encapsulation (TFE). Specifically, the encapsulation layer 03 may include a first inorganic layer, an organic layer, and a second inorganic layer, wherein the first inorganic layer covers the surface of the light-emitting layer 02 away from the driving backplane, the organic layer may be arranged on the surface of the first inorganic layer away from the driving backplane, and the boundary of the organic layer is limited to the inner side of the boundary of the first inorganic layer, the second inorganic layer covers the organic layer and the first inorganic layer not covered by the organic layer, and the intrusion of water and oxygen can be blocked by the second inorganic layer, and planarization is achieved by the flexible organic layer.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display panel further includes a touch layer 04, which is disposed on one side of the substrate 01. Specifically, the touch layer 04 is disposed on the side of the encapsulation layer 03 away from the substrate 01. The touch layer 04 is used to sense the user's touch operation so as to interact with the user through the image displayed by the display panel.

[0075] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, taking mutual capacitance touch as an example, the touch layer 04 may include a first electrode 41 and a second electrode 42. When a touch occurs, the coupling capacitance between the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 changes, thereby determining the touch position. The first electrode 41 may be a driving electrode, and the second electrode 42 may be a receiving electrode.

[0076] The first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 may be disposed in the same layer or in layers.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 are arranged in layers, and the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 are cross-distributed in space along a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other. The first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 are insulated from each other. It should be noted that in the area other than the intersection of the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 can be arranged on the same plane.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 are arranged in the same layer. In this embodiment, the touch layer 04 includes a plurality of first electrodes 41 arranged at intervals and a plurality of second electrodes 42 arranged at intervals, and adjacent first electrodes 41 or adjacent second electrodes 42 are electrically connected through a bridge 43. An insulating layer is arranged between the bridge 43 and the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42, that is, the first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 are located on the same side of the insulating layer, and the bridge is located on the other side of the insulating layer.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the display panel provided by the present disclosure further includes a first floating electrode layer 08, which is disposed on the side of the touch layer 04 facing away from the substrate 01. The first floating electrode layer 08 and the touch layer 04 are insulated from each other. The first floating electrode layer 08 includes a first floating electrode 81. The orthographic projection of the first floating electrode 81 on the substrate 01 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 41 on the substrate 01. Specifically, the pattern of the first floating electrode 81 can be the same as or similar to that of the first electrode 41.

[0080] The first electrode 41 is a driving electrode, and the driving signal thereon can be coupled to the upper first floating electrode layer 08. When a voltage is applied to the first electrode 41, an electrostatic force is generated between the user's finger and the touch surface of the display panel. When an AC voltage is applied to the first electrode 41, the electrostatic force changes periodically with the driving voltage, so that the friction between the finger and the touch surface changes periodically. When the user slides his finger on the display panel, the friction felt by the finger changes periodically, so that the user can feel the texture tactile feedback.

[0081] Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the first floating electrode 81 on the substrate 01 completely covers the orthographic projection of the first electrode 41 on the substrate 01. In practical applications, when a user touches the display panel with a finger, the electrostatic force between the finger and the touch surface is affected by the voltage across the finger, and the voltage across the finger is coupled to the upper floating electrode through the drive signal of the first electrode 41. The larger the overlapping area of ​​the first floating electrode 81 and the first electrode 41, the larger the signal coupled from the drive signal of the first electrode 41 to the upper first floating electrode 81, that is, the larger the voltage across the finger. Therefore, when the user touches the display panel, the greater the electrostatic force between the finger and the touch surface, the stronger and more sensitive the texture sense experienced by the user.

[0082] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 7 The display panel provided by the present disclosure further includes a second floating electrode layer 10, which is disposed on the side of the first floating electrode layer 08 facing away from the substrate 01. The second floating electrode layer 10 and the first floating electrode layer 08 are insulated from each other. The second floating electrode layer 10 includes a second floating electrode 101, and the orthographic projection of the second floating electrode 101 on the substrate 01 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 41 on the substrate 01. Specifically, the pattern of the second floating electrode 101 can be the same as or similar to that of the first electrode 41. Further, the orthographic projection of the second floating electrode 101 on the substrate 01 completely covers the orthographic projection of the first electrode 41 on the substrate 01. The working principles of the second floating electrode layer 10 and the first floating electrode layer 08 are similar, and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] According to the parallel plate capacitance calculation formula C=εS / 4πkd, where ε is the dielectric constant, S is the facing area of ​​the plates, and d is the distance between the plates, the present disclosure sets a first floating electrode layer 08 and a second floating electrode layer 10. Compared with setting a single floating electrode layer in the related art, the present disclosure is conducive to increasing the capacitance between the first floating electrode layer 08 and the touch layer 04, and the capacitance between the first floating electrode layer 08 and the second floating electrode layer 10, thereby increasing the coupling capacitance between the user's finger and the touch layer 04 and improving the tactile feedback effect.

[0084] In addition, compared with the related art in which one floating electrode layer is provided, when the second floating electrode layer 10 is scratched or the first floating electrode layer 08 is bent and broken, the two floating electrode layers provided in the present invention can effectively reduce the loss of coupling capacitance between the user's finger and the touch layer 04, thereby helping to ensure the size of the electrostatic force at the finger tip and ensuring that the user can continue to experience tactile feedback content such as the texture and contour of the display pattern.

[0085] For example, Figure 8As shown, in the related art, when only one floating electrode layer 13 is provided, the capacitance between the floating electrode layer 13 and the touch layer 12 is C0. Assuming that after the floating electrode layer 13 is scratched, the effective area of ​​the electrode touched by the finger becomes 1 / n of the original area, then the capacitance between the floating electrode layer 13 and the touch layer 12 becomes 1 / nC0, then the ratio of the residual capacitance after scratching to the original capacitance is 1 / n, and the ratio of the capacitance loss due to scratching to the original capacitance is n-1 / n.

[0086] like Fig. 9 As shown, in the present disclosure, a first floating electrode layer 08 and a second floating electrode layer 10 are provided. For example, if the capacitance between the first floating electrode layer 08 and the touch layer 04 is C1, and the capacitance between the first floating electrode layer 08 and the second floating electrode layer 10 is C2, then the capacitance C between the second floating electrode layer 10 and the touch layer 04 is C1×C2 / (C1+C2). Assuming that after the second floating electrode layer 10 is scratched, the effective area of ​​the electrode touched by the finger becomes 1 / n of the original area, then the capacitance between the second floating electrode layer 10 and the touch layer 04 is C1×C2 / n(C1+C2 / n), and the ratio of the residual capacitance after scratching to the original capacitance is (C1+C2) / (nC1+C2), which is greater than 1 / n. Therefore, the ratio of the capacitance loss caused by scratching to the original capacitance is less than n-1 / n. From this analysis, it can be seen that the two floating electrode layers provided in the present disclosure can effectively reduce the loss of coupling capacitance between the user's finger and the touch layer 04.

The island-shaped floating electrode is located above the second electrode 42 to assist in the calculation of touch coordinates.

[0088] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the first floating electrode layer 08 further includes a fourth floating electrode 82 insulated from the first floating electrode 81, the fourth floating electrode 82 is an island-shaped floating electrode separated from the surrounding floating electrodes, and the orthographic projection of the fourth floating electrode 82 on the substrate 01 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second electrode 42 on the substrate 01.

When the external light first passes through the linear polarizer, half of the light cannot pass through. After the half of the light passes through the quarter-wave plate and the cathode reflection, it is deflected from the original light, and the reflected light cannot pass through the linear polarizer, thereby solving the reflection problem of the external light.
