The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it necessarily independent or alternative embodiments to other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0042] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic view of a cross section of a touch panel provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic view of a partial structure of a touch panel provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0044] The touch panel 1 includes a first insulating layer 11, a first metal layer 12, a second insulating layer 13, a second metal layer 14 and a third insulating layer 15 which are sequentially stacked. A connection unit 121 is formed by patterning the first metal layer 12. A first touch electrode 141 and a second touch electrode 142 are formed by patterning the second metal layer 14. That is, the first touch electrode 141 and the second touch electrode 142 are provided in the same layer, and the connection unit 121 is provided in a different layer from the second touch electrode 142.
[0045] The first touch electrode 141 includes a plurality of first touch units 1411 arranged along a first direction X and electrically connected to each other. The second touch electrode 142 includes a plurality of second touch units 1421 arranged along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, and the first touch electrode 141 and the second touch electrode 142 are arranged in a cross manner. In the embodiment, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. The connection unit 121 connects two adjacent second touch units 1421, so that the two adjacent second touch units 1421 are electrically connected. The second touch unit 1421 is electrically connected to the connection unit 121 through a via hole (not shown in the figure) on the second insulating layer 13.
[0046] In the prior art, the connection unit is generally a single or double straight line. When the display device using the touch panel is a curved screen or a folding screen, the connection unit is prone to cracking due to stress concentration in the folded or curved part of the touch panel, resulting in touch failure. In order to improve the reliability of the connection unit and avoid disconnection of the connection unit, the structure of the connection unit 121 is designed to solve the above problems.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 is Figure 1 the structure diagram of the first embodiment of the connection unit of the touch panel shown in Figure 4 is Figure 3 the local enlarged view of the connection unit A area shown in.
[0048] The connection unit 121 includes a bridge point connection line 1211 and a bridge point auxiliary line 1212, and the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is arranged around the bridge point connection line 1211. The two adjacent second touch units 1421 are respectively connected to the bridge point connection line 1211. By arranging the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 around the bridge point connection line 1211, the stress on the bridge point connection line 1211 when the touch panel 1 is bent or rolled is dispersed, avoiding stress concentration on the bridge point connection line 1211 when the touch panel 1 is bent or rolled, preventing the bridge point connection line 1211 from cracking due to stress, reducing the risk of short circuit of the bridge point connection line 1211, protecting the bridge point connection line 1211, improving the reliability of the bridge point connection line 1211, reducing the risk of failure of the bridge point connection line 1211, improving the reliability of the connection unit 121, and avoiding touch failure of the bent or rolled part of the touch panel 1.
[0049] It should be noted that the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is arranged apart from the bridge point connection line 1211, and the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is not electrically connected to the second touch unit 1421.
[0050] In this embodiment, the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is arranged around the entire circumference of the bridge point connecting line 1211 to form a ring structure. It can be understood that the shape of the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 can be circular, triangular, rhomboid, rectangular, etc., and can be designed according to specific needs. In other embodiments, the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is not arranged around the entire circumference of the bridge point connecting line 1211, which can disperse stress to a certain extent and improve the reliability of the bridge point connecting line 1211.
[0051] Optionally, the ring structure is a centrally symmetrical figure to uniformly distribute stress in the circumferential direction of the bridge point connection line 1211.
[0052] Optionally, the ring structure formed by the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 includes at least one vertex angle 1212a to reduce stress concentration.
[0053] For example, both the first touch unit 1411 and the second touch unit 1421 are rhomboid in shape, and the ring structure formed by the bridge point auxiliary lines 1212 is rhomboid (e.g. Figure 3 (As shown).
[0054] In this embodiment, the bridge connection line 1211 includes a first sub-connection line 1211b and a second sub-connection line 1211c. One end of the first sub-connection line 1211b is connected to a second touch unit 1421, and the other end of the first sub-connection line 1211b is connected to one end of the second sub-connection line 1211c. The other end of the second sub-connection line 1211c is connected to another second touch unit 1421. The first sub-connection line 1211b and the second sub-connection line 1211c form an angle greater than zero and less than 180°. For example, the bridge connection line 1211 is V-shaped, and each end of the V-shape is connected to a second touch unit 1421.
[0055] Optionally, the connection between the first sub-connector 1211b and the second sub-connector 1211c is rounded (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown, the radius of the rounded corner is 5μm-15μm to reduce stress concentration. If the radius of the rounded corner is less than 5μm, the angle formed between the first sub-connecting line 1211b and the second sub-connecting line 1211c is too small, and the distance between the two ends of the first sub-connecting line 1211b and the second sub-connecting line 1211c is too close, which is not conducive to the connection with the two adjacent second touch units 1421. If the radius of the rounded corner is greater than 15μm, the effect of reducing stress concentration is not good, which is not conducive to ensuring the reliability of the bridge point connecting line 1211.
[0056] In the embodiment, the connecting unit 121 includes two bridge point connecting lines 1211 described above, and the two bridge point connecting lines 1211 are symmetrically arranged along a straight line L passing through the center of the connecting unit 121. By arranging the two bridge point connecting lines 1211, the number of paths for electrically connecting the two adjacent second touch control units 1421 is increased, and the connection reliability of the connecting unit 121 is further improved, so that the failure of one bridge point connecting line 1211 does not directly lead to the failure of the touch control of the touch panel.
[0057] Optionally, the two bridge point connecting lines 1211 are arranged oppositely (as shown in Figure 3 ) or oppositely, and the specific arrangement is selected according to the needs. It should be noted that the oppositely or oppositely arrangement of the two bridge point connecting lines 1211 refers to the oppositely or oppositely arrangement of the rounded corners of the two bridge point connecting lines 1211.
[0058] Continuing to refer to Figure 3 , the end of the bridge point connecting line 1211 includes a plurality of branches 1211a. The plurality of branches 1211a are connected with one second touch control unit 1421, and the number of paths for electrically connecting the two adjacent second touch control units 1421 is further increased, which is beneficial to improve the connection reliability of the connecting unit 121.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a partial structure diagram of the second metal layer corresponding to the connecting unit shown in Figure 3 .
[0060] The first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421 corresponding to the part of the connecting unit 121 are in a hollow structure, so as to reduce the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the connecting unit 121 on the second metal layer 14 and the first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421, and further reduce the parasitic capacitance and improve the performance of the touch panel.
[0061] Specifically, the first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421 are both grid structures with a plurality of mesh holes, and the area of the mesh holes of the part of the first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421 corresponding to the connecting unit 121 is greater than that of the other parts, so as to reduce the parasitic capacitance.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 is a structure diagram of the connecting unit of the second embodiment of the touch panel shown in Figure 1 , Figure 7 is a structure diagram of the connecting unit of the second embodiment of the touch panel shown in Figure 6A partial enlarged view of the connection unit M region is shown.
[0063] The connection unit 121 in the second embodiment differs from the connection unit 121 in the first embodiment in that the shape of the bridge point connection line 1211 is different; the structure of the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is the same and will not be described again.
[0064] In this embodiment, the bridge point connection line 1211 includes a first sub-connection line 1211b and a second sub-connection line 1211c, the first sub-connection line 1211b and the second sub-connection line 1211c are arranged in cross, and the first sub-connection line 1211b and the second sub-connection line 1211c both extend along a straight line. The first sub-connection line 1211b includes a first end portion a and a third end portion c, and the second sub-connection line 1211c includes a second end portion b and a fourth end portion d; the intersection of the first sub-connection line 1211b and the second sub-connection line 1211c is located between the first end portion a and the third end portion c and between the second end portion b and the fourth end portion d. Illustratively, the shape of the bridge point connection line 1211 is X-shaped, the X-shaped includes the first end portion a, the second end portion b, the third end portion c and the fourth end portion d, the first end portion a and the third end portion c are located on the same straight line, and the second end portion b and the fourth end portion d are located on the same straight line.
[0065] The first end portion a and the second end portion b are connected with one second touch control unit 1421, and the third end portion c and the fourth end portion d are connected with another second touch control unit 1421. It can be understood that one second touch control unit 1421 is connected with two end portions of the bridge point connection line 1211, which increases the number of paths for realizing electrical connection of the adjacent two second touch control units 1421, and improves the connection reliability of the connection unit 121.
[0066] Optionally, the intersection of the first sub-connection line 1211b and the second sub-connection line 1211c is a rounded corner (as shown in Figure 7 ), so as to reduce the stress concentration. The radius corresponding to the rounded corner is 6 μm-10 μm. If the radius corresponding to the rounded corner is less than 6 μm, the distance between the first end portion a and the fourth end portion d is too close, which is not conducive to the connection with the adjacent two second touch control units 1421. If the radius corresponding to the rounded corner is greater than 10 μm, the effect of reducing stress concentration is not good, which is not conducive to ensuring the reliability of the bridge point connection line 1211.
[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 , the first end portion a, the second end portion b, the third end portion c and the fourth end portion d of the bridge point connection line 1211 all include a plurality of branches 1211a. The plurality of branches 1211a are all connected with one second touch control unit 1421, which further increases the number of paths for realizing electrical connection of the adjacent two second touch control units 1421, and is conducive to improving the connection reliability of the connection unit 121.
[0068] Please refer toFigure 8 , Figure 8 is Figure 6 is a local structure diagram of the second metal layer corresponding to the connection unit shown in
[0069] The first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421 are in a hollow structure corresponding to the connection unit 121, so as to reduce the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the connection unit 121 on the second metal layer 14 and the first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance and improving the performance of the touch panel.
[0070] Specifically, the first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421 are both in a grid structure with a plurality of meshes, and the area of the meshes corresponding to the part of the first touch control unit 1411 and the second touch control unit 1421 corresponding to the connection unit 121 is greater than the area of the meshes of other parts, so as to reduce the parasitic capacitance.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 is Figure 1 is a structure diagram of the connection unit of the third embodiment of the touch panel shown in
[0072] The connection unit 121 in the third embodiment is different from the connection unit 121 in the first embodiment in that the structure of the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is different, and the structure of the bridge point connection line 1211 is the same, which will not be described again.
[0073] In the present embodiment, the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 further comprises a reinforcing line 1212b, and the ring structure comprises at least one top corner 1212a, and the two ends of the reinforcing line 1212b are connected to the two edges corresponding to the top corner 1212a, respectively. By setting the reinforcing line 1212b, more stress can be dispersed, and the bridge point connection line 1211 can be better protected.
[0074] For example, the ring structure of the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is a rhombus, and further comprises four reinforcing lines 1212b. The reinforcing line 1212b comprises a first line segment (not marked in the figure) and a second line segment (not marked in the figure), one end of the first line segment is connected to one side of the rhombus, the other end of the first line segment is connected to one end of the second line segment, the other end of the second line segment is connected to the other side of the rhombus; the first line segment is perpendicular to the second line segment (as shown in Figure 9
[0075] It can be understood that the structure of the bridge point connection line 1211 in the second embodiment of the connection unit 121 can also be used in the present embodiment.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 is Figure 1 is a structure diagram of the connection unit of the fourth embodiment of the touch panel shown in
[0077] The fourth embodiment of the connection unit 121 is different from the first embodiment of the connection unit 121 in that the structure of the bridge point auxiliary line 1212 is different, and the structure of the bridge point connecting line 1211 is the same, which will not be repeated.
[0078] In this embodiment, the annular structure includes at least one top corner 1212a which is bent towards the inside of the annular structure. By changing the path of the bridge point auxiliary line 1212, more stress can be dispersed, and the bridge point connecting line 1211 can be better protected.
[0079] For example, the annular structure is a rhombus, and the four top corners 1212a of the rhombus are all bent towards the inside (as shown in Figure 10 ).
[0080] It can be understood that the structure of the bridge point connecting line 1211 in the second embodiment of the connection unit 121 can also be used in this embodiment.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 is a structural schematic diagram of a display device provided by the embodiment of the present application.
