[0139] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.
[0140] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.
[0141] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0142] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0143] In this specification, the first electrode can be the drain electrode and the second electrode can be the source electrode, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be interchanged.
[0144] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.
[0145] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.
[0146] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0147] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different. For example, the precursors forming multiple structures in a same-layer arrangement may be made of the same material, while the final materials may be the same or different.
[0148] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.
[0149] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0301] In one exemplary embodiment, the third touch electrode 331 and the fourth touch electrode 341 can be metal touch electrodes, and the connection portion disposed in the same layer as the third touch electrode 331 is a metal touch connection portion. When the third touch electrode 331 and the fourth touch electrode 341 can be metal touch electrodes, and the connection portion disposed in the same layer as the third touch electrode 331 is a metal touch connection portion, the third touch electrode, the fourth touch electrode, and the connection portion disposed in the same layer as the third touch electrode 331 can be manufactured using the same process as the first touch electrode and the second electrode, which can simplify the manufacturing process of the touch display substrate.
[0302] In one exemplary embodiment, the third touch electrode 331 and the fourth touch electrode 341 can be transparent touch electrodes, and the connecting portion disposed in the same layer as the third touch electrode 331 can be a transparent touch connecting portion. The fact that the third touch electrode 331 and the fourth touch electrode 341 can be transparent touch electrodes, and that the connecting portion disposed in the same layer as the third touch electrode 331 can be a transparent touch connecting portion, can improve the light transmittance of the second display area.

[0308] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 18 As shown, the third and fourth touch structures are set on the same layer as the anode connection line and use the same transparent material, which reduces the stacking of metal layers in the second display area, reduces the overlapping capacitance and load, and allows the touch display substrate to have sufficient time to achieve brightness, thus improving the reliability of the touch display substrate.
[0309] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 18 As shown, the orthographic projections of the third touch electrode 331 and the fourth touch electrode 341 on the substrate 10 at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the light-emitting layer 222 on the substrate 10. By placing the third touch electrode 331 and the fourth touch electrode 341 below the light-emitting layer 222, this disclosure can prevent the influence of the fabrication process of the light-emitting structure layer on the third touch electrode 331 and the fourth touch electrode 341, thereby improving the touch sensitivity of the touch display substrate.

[0354] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 26 As shown, the width of the trace is greater than or equal to the width of the first touch trace and the second touch trace.
[0355] In this disclosure, the width of the compensation portion 103B of the third and fourth touch traces is greater than the width of the first and second touch traces, which can compensate for the load difference between the second touch component located in the second display area and the first touch component located in the first display area, and ensure the touch uniformity of the touch display substrate.
[0356] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 20 As shown, the touch display substrate may further include a light filter layer located on the side of the touch structure layer 30 away from the display structure layer 20, the light filter layer including a light filter layer 42 and a black matrix layer 41.

[0358] In one exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the black matrix layer 41 onto the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the pixel definition layer onto the substrate.
[0359] In one exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the black matrix layer 41 onto the substrate at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the metal touch electrode and / or the metal touch connection portion onto the substrate. By stacking the black matrix layer with the metal structure in the touch structure layer, this application can reduce the light-blocking area of the second display area and improve the light transmittance of the second display area.
[0360] Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figures 6 to 20 The following explanation is based on the example of a fourth connecting part being a metal touch connecting part and the third and fourth touch electrodes being transparent touch electrodes. In this case, the orthographic projection of the black matrix layer on the substrate covers the orthographic projection of the fourth connecting part. Figure 5 The following explanation is based on the example of the third and fourth touch electrodes being metal touch electrodes and the third and fourth connecting parts being metal touch connecting parts. In this case, the orthogonal projection of the black matrix layer on the substrate covers the orthogonal projections of the third touch electrode, the fourth touch electrode, the third connecting part, and the fourth connecting part on the substrate.
[0361] In one exemplary embodiment, the touch structure layer may be formed on the display structure layer, or it may be attached to the display structure layer as an external attachment. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figures 12 to 14 , Figure 16 , Figure 18 and Figure 20 This explanation uses the example of a touch structure layer being formed on top of a display structure layer. For example... Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 19 This explanation uses the example of a touch structure layer being attached to a display structure layer. When the second touch component is located on either the touch structure layer or the display structure layer, the touch structure layer can be formed on the display structure layer or attached to it as an external attachment. When the second touch component is located on both the touch structure layer and the display structure layer, the touch structure layer is formed on the display structure layer. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.
[0362] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 19 As shown, when the second touch component is located in the touch structure layer or the display structure layer, the touch display substrate may further include: an encapsulation layer 50 and an adhesive layer 60 disposed between the display structure layer and the touch structure layer.
[0363] In one exemplary embodiment, the encapsulation layer 50 is located on the side of the adhesive layer 60 closest to the substrate 10. Its orthographic projection onto the substrate covers the pixel islands and the areas between adjacent pixel islands.
[0364] In this disclosure, the touch structure layer is disposed on the display structure layer in an external manner, which makes the distance between the touch structure layer and the cathode larger, thereby reducing the load on the touch display substrate, reducing parasitic capacitance, improving the touch sensitivity of the touch display substrate, and improving the reliability of the touch display substrate.
[0365] In one exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 50 can be approximately 5 micrometers to 15 micrometers. For example, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 50 can be approximately 10 micrometers.
[0366] In one exemplary embodiment, the encapsulation layer may include a first inorganic encapsulation layer, a second organic encapsulation layer, and a third inorganic encapsulation layer stacked on the display structure layer. The first and third inorganic encapsulation layers may be made of inorganic materials, and the second organic encapsulation layer may be made of organic materials, which can ensure that external moisture cannot enter the light-emitting structure layer.
[0367] In one exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer 60 may be approximately 25 micrometers to 50 micrometers.
[0368] In one exemplary embodiment, the adhesive layer 60 may include: an optically transparent adhesive.
[0369] In one exemplary embodiment, when the touch structure layer is fabricated on the display structure layer, and the second touch component includes a transparent touch electrode and / or a transparent touch connector, the transparent touch electrode and the transparent touch connector are fabricated using a cryogenic sputtering process. The cryogenic sputtering process, under a certain vacuum environment, reduces plasma energy, ejected atomic energy, and substrate temperature to minimize damage to the film layers below the touch structure layer. This reduces the impact on the lifetime and brightness of the already formed luminescent material, thereby improving the reliability of the touch display substrate.
[0370] The touch display substrate provided in this embodiment can be applied to application scenarios such as front-facing camera photography and mobile games in high-frequency terminal devices.
[0371] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a touch display device, including: the aforementioned touch display substrate.
[0372] This disclosure also provides a touch display device, including a touch display substrate.
[0373] In one exemplary embodiment, the touch display device can be any product or component with display functionality, such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display device, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display device, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a flexible display device, a television, or a monitor. The accompanying drawings in this disclosure only illustrate the structures relevant to the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to in general design.
[0374] The display substrate can be any of the display panels provided in the above embodiments, and the implementation principle and effect are similar, so they will not be described again here.
[0375] In one exemplary embodiment, the touch display device may further include a photosensor.
[0376] In one exemplary embodiment, a photosensor is disposed in a second display area, and its orthographic projection onto the substrate at least partially overlaps with the second display area. Ambient light from the outside can enter the photosensor through the second display area.
[0377] In one exemplary embodiment, the second display area can be rectangular, and the area of the orthographic projection of the photosensitive sensor onto the substrate can be less than or equal to the area of the inscribed circle of the second display area. That is, the size of the area where the photosensitive sensor is located can be less than or equal to the size of the inscribed circle of the second display area. For example, the size of the area where the photosensitive sensor is located is equal to the size of the inscribed circle of the second display area, meaning the shape of the area where the photosensitive sensor is located can be circular, and correspondingly, the area where the photosensitive sensor is located can also be referred to as a light-transmitting hole.
[0378] In one exemplary embodiment, the photosensitive sensor may include at least one of a camera module (e.g., a front-facing camera module), a 3D structured light module (e.g., a 3D structured light sensor), a time-of-flight 3D imaging module (e.g., a time-of-flight sensor), and an infrared sensing module (e.g., an infrared sensing sensor).
[0379] In one exemplary embodiment, the front-facing camera module is typically activated when the user takes a selfie or makes a video call, and the display area of the display device displays the image obtained from the selfie for the user to view. The front-facing camera module includes, for example, a lens, an image sensor, and an image processing chip. The optical image of the scene generated by the lens is projected onto the surface of the image sensor (image sensors include CCD and CMOS), converted into an electrical signal, and then converted into a digital image signal by the image processing chip. This digital signal is then processed by the processor and output as an image of the scene on the display screen.
[0380] The accompanying drawings in this disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to in general design.
[0381] For clarity, the thickness and dimensions of layers or microstructures are enlarged in the accompanying drawings used to describe embodiments of this disclosure. It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being “above” or “below” another element, the element may be located “directly” above or below the other element, or there may be intermediate elements present.
[0382] While the embodiments disclosed herein are as described above, the content is merely for the purpose of facilitating understanding of this disclosure and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Any person skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains may make any modifications and changes in the form and details of the implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed herein; however, the scope of patent protection of this disclosure shall still be determined by the scope defined in the appended claims.
