[0055] Embodiment 1
[0056] See also Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of the present application provides a touch display panel 100, which includes a base substrate 110 and a driving circuit layer 120 and an electronic paper film 130 arranged on the base substrate 110, and the electronic paper film 130 is attached to the side of the driving circuit layer 120 away from the base substrate 110.
[0057] This base substrate 110 can be a rigid substrate made of glass, but is not limited to this. It can also be a flexible substrate made of materials such as polyimide (abbreviated as Polyimide, abbreviated as PI). In other words, the touch display panel 100 of the present application is not limited to a rigid, non-bendable panel, but can also be a flexible, bendable panel.
[0058] The driving circuit layer 120 is disposed between the electronic paper film 130 and the base substrate 110 . The driving circuit layer 120 includes a common electrode unit 121 , a pixel electrode block 122 and a connecting signal line 123 .
[0059] The common electrode unit 121 is disposed on a side of the pixel electrode block 122 away from the base substrate 110 , and an insulating layer is formed between the common electrode unit 121 and the pixel electrode block 122 . The extension direction of the common electrode unit 121 intersects with the extension direction of the connection signal line 123 .
[0060] See also Figure 1As shown, the pixel electrode block 122 is disposed on a side of the common electrode unit 121 away from the base substrate 110, and the pixel electrode block 122 can be connected to the first electrode 1242 of the transistor 124 described below, so that the data signal of the data line can be transmitted to the pixel electrode block 122. The pixel electrode block 122 can be a transparent electrode, for example, it can be made of ITO (indium tin oxide) material to improve light transmittance, but is not limited thereto, and can also be made of other transparent conductive materials.
[0061] See also Figure 2 As shown, the electronic paper film 130 includes a plurality of electrophoretic units 131 arranged in an array in the row direction and the column direction. Each electrophoretic unit 131 includes a microcapsule structure 1310 , a first conductive electrode 1311 , a second conductive electrode 1312 and a third conductive electrode 1313 .
[0062] See also Figure 2 As shown, the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the microcapsule structure 1310. The first conductive electrode 1311 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode block 122 when the electronic paper film 130 is attached to the driving circuit layer 120, that is, the first conductive electrode 1311 is disposed on the lower side of the microcapsule structure 1310. Correspondingly, the second conductive electrode 1312 is disposed on the upper side of the microcapsule structure 1310, and the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312 are used to drive the movement of the electrophoretic particles 13100 in the microcapsule structure 1310.
[0063] It can be understood that, since the first conductive electrode 1311 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode block 122 , the voltage signal of the first conductive electrode 1311 is the same as the voltage signal of the pixel electrode block 122 .
[0064] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third conductive electrode 1313 is arranged on the same side of the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312, that is, the third conductive electrode 1313 is arranged on the left or right side of the microcapsule structure 1310, and is spaced from the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312 to avoid interference with each other and ensure the display effect; the orthographic projection of the third conductive electrode 1313 on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the connection signal line 123 on the base substrate 110, and is connected to the connection signal line 123, and the extension direction of the third conductive electrode 1313 is the same as the extension direction of the connection signal line 123.
[0065] It should be noted that see Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the electrophoresis units 131 in adjacent rows can be connected to each other, that is, the first conductive electrodes 1311 in the adjacent row direction can be connected to each other, and the first conductive electrodes 1311 are extended in the column direction. Correspondingly, the third conductive electrodes 1313 in the adjacent column direction can also be connected to each other, and the third conductive electrodes 1313 are also extended in the column direction.
[0066] Among them, the second conductive electrode 1312, the connecting signal line 123 and the common electrode unit 121 can be connected to different driving pins of the driving chip 200 respectively. Since the voltage of the first conductive electrode 1311 and the voltage of the second conductive electrode 1312 are used to control the movement of the electrophoretic particles 13100 in the microcapsule structure 1310, when the second conductive electrode 1312 is connected to a driving pin different from the connecting signal line 123 and the common electrode unit 121, the second conductive electrode 1312 is driven by a separate driving pin. When the touch display panel 100 is touched, the signal fluctuation will not change the voltage on the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312, and will not affect the movement of the electrophoretic particles 13100, and will not affect the display.
[0067] For touch control, see Figure 4 As shown, one of the common electrode unit 121 and the third conductive electrode 1313 is used as a touch sensing electrode (RX), and the other is used as a touch driving electrode (TX). The orthographic projection of the common electrode unit 121 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the third conductive electrode 1313 on the base substrate 110 have an overlapping area A, and the overlapping area A is used as a touch detection point.
[0068] It can be understood that by multiplexing the common electrode unit 121 in the driving circuit layer 120 as a touch sensing electrode (RX) or a touch driving electrode (TX), and multiplexing the third conductive electrode 1313 as a touch driving electrode (TX) or a touch sensing electrode (RX), the design film layers of the touch driving electrode (TX) and the touch sensing electrode (RX) can be reduced, and the thickness of the touch display panel 100 can be reduced.
[0069] In addition, when the touch sensing electrodes (RX) or the touch driving electrodes (TX) are disposed on the electronic paper film 130 layer, the shielding effect of the common electrode unit 121 on the touch sensing electrodes (RX) or the touch driving electrodes (TX) can be avoided, thereby improving the touch accuracy of the touch display panel 100.
[0070] In the examples of this application, see Figure 1 As shown, the connection signal line 123 and the pixel electrode block 122 are arranged in the same layer and are spaced apart from each other to avoid mutual interference between the connection signal line 123 and the pixel electrode block 122 .
[0071] It should be noted that "same-layer arrangement" refers to the use of the same film-forming process to form a film layer for forming a specific pattern, and then using the same mask to form a layer structure through a single patterning process. That is, one patterning process corresponds to a mask (also called a photomask). Depending on the specific pattern, a single patterning process may include multiple exposure, development or etching processes, and the specific pattern in the formed layer structure may be continuous or discontinuous, and these specific patterns may also be at different heights or have different thicknesses. This simplifies the manufacturing process, saves manufacturing costs, and improves production efficiency.
[0072] That is, the connecting signal line 123 and the pixel electrode block 122 are manufactured through the same process and are made of the same material.
[0073] It is understandable that the connection signal line 123 can also be made of a different material from the pixel electrode block 122. The connection signal line 123 and the pixel electrode block 122 are arranged on the same layer, which reduces the number of design layers of the connection signal line 123, thereby reducing the number of layers of the touch display panel 100, which is conducive to reducing the thickness of the touch display panel 100 and is more conducive to a thin and light design.
[0074] In the examples of this application, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, this driving circuit layer 120 also includes a transistor 124, and the transistor 124 may include a gate 1240, an active layer 1241, and a first electrode 1242 and a second electrode 1243 arranged in the same layer. A gate insulating layer 1244 may be arranged between the gate 1240 and the active layer 1241 to insulate the gate 1240 and the active layer 1241 from each other; and the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243 may be respectively connected to the source and drain doping regions of the active layer 1241. Specifically, the corresponding connection relationship between the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243 and the source and drain doping regions of the active layer 1241 can be determined according to whether the transistor 124 is N-type or P-type, which will not be described in detail here.
[0075] For example, the transistor 124 of the embodiment of the present application may be a bottom gate type, that is, the gate 1240 may be first formed on the base substrate 110; then, a gate insulating layer 1244 is formed on the base substrate 110, and the gate insulating layer 1244 covers the gate 1240; then, an active layer 1241 is formed on the side of the gate insulating layer 1244 away from the base substrate 110, that is, the active layer 1241 is located on the side of the gate 1240 away from the base substrate 110, and the active layer 1241 and the gate 1240 are on the base substrate 110. There is overlap in the orthographic projections on the substrate 110. For example, the orthographic projection of the active layer 1241 on the base substrate 110 may be located within the orthographic projection of the gate 1240 on the base substrate 110; the first pole 1242 and the second pole 1243 may be formed after the active layer 1241 is formed, and at least a portion of the first pole 1242 may overlap on a doped region of the source and drain doped regions of the active layer 1241; at least a portion of the second pole 1243 may overlap on another doped region of the source and drain doped regions of the active layer 1241.
[0076] It should be noted that the transistor 124 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the bottom gate type mentioned above, but can also be a top gate type.
[0077] In addition, the gate 1240 can be made of metal or alloy materials, such as molybdenum, aluminum and titanium, to ensure good electrical conductivity, but not limited thereto, and can also be made of other materials with good electrical conductivity. The first pole 1242 and the second pole 1243 can also be made of metal or alloy materials, such as molybdenum, aluminum and titanium, to ensure good electrical conductivity, but not limited thereto, and can also be made of other materials with good electrical conductivity.
[0078] The pixel electrode block 122 may be formed after the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243 of the transistor 124 are formed, and a planar layer 1245 may be provided between the pixel electrode block 122 and the metal layer where the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243 of the transistor 124 are located, and the pixel electrode block 122 may be connected to the first electrode 1242 of the transistor 124 through a first via structure M1 penetrating the planar layer 1245. When the transistor 124 is turned on in response to a scan signal provided by the gate 1240, a data signal will flow into the first electrode 1242 of the transistor 124 through the second electrode 1243, thereby writing the data signal into the pixel electrode block 122.
[0079] See also Figure 1 or Figure 2As shown, in order to reduce the number of extra layers occupied by the common electrode unit 121, the common electrode unit 121 is arranged on the same layer as the first pole 1242 and the second pole 1243. That is to say, the common electrode unit 121 and the first pole 1242 and the second pole 1243 can be formed by the same film forming process, and then formed by a single composition process using the same mask. This design can simplify the manufacturing process, save manufacturing costs, and improve production efficiency. In addition, compared with the solution of designing them on different layers, the common electrode unit 121 and the first pole 1242 and the second pole 1243 are arranged on the same layer, which can also reduce the overall thickness of the touch display panel 100, which is conducive to realizing a thin and light display product.
[0080] In addition, in order to avoid crosstalk between the common electrode unit 121 and the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243 , the common electrode unit 121 is spaced apart from the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243 .
[0081] In the examples of this application, see Figure 4 As shown, the common electrode unit 121 is multiplexed as a touch sensing electrode (RX), and the third conductive electrode 1313 is multiplexed as a touch driving electrode (TX). Multiplexing the third conductive electrode 1313 as a touch driving electrode (TX) can reduce the thickness of the entire touch display panel 100, and because the third conductive electrode 1313 is located on the driving circuit layer 120, the shielding effect of the common electrode unit 121 on it is avoided, thereby improving the touch accuracy.
[0082] For touch control, see Figure 4 As shown, the driving circuit layer 120 includes a plurality of common electrode units 121 and a plurality of connecting signal lines 123. The extending direction of the common electrode units 121 intersects with the extending direction of the connecting signal lines 123, and may intersect perpendicularly or at an acute angle.
[0083] In the examples of this application, see Figure 4 As shown, the extension direction of the common electrode unit 121 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the connection signal line 123 .
[0084] Among them, see Figure 4 As shown, the driving circuit layer 120 includes a plurality of groups of common electrode units 121, which are arranged at intervals in the column direction, and each group of common electrode units 121 is extended in the row direction. The common electrode units 121 and the pixel electrode blocks 122 are arranged in sequence in the thickness direction of the base substrate 110, and an insulating layer is formed between the common electrode units 121 and the pixel electrode blocks 122, and the insulating layer is the flat layer 1245 mentioned above.
[0085] See also Figure 4As shown, each group of common electrode units 121 includes a plurality of common electrode blocks 1210 arranged at intervals in the row direction, and adjacent common electrode blocks 1210 are connected by connecting lines 1211 for signal transmission. The orthographic projection of the common electrode block 1210 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the pixel electrode block 122 on the base substrate 110 have an overlapping area, and the common electrode block 1210 and the pixel electrode block 122 form a first storage capacitor Cst1.
[0086] The orthographic projection of the connection line 1211 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the third conductive electrode 1313 on the base substrate 110 have an overlapping area A, and the overlapping area A is a touch detection point, thereby realizing the touch function.
[0087] See also Figure 1 or Figure 4 As shown, the driving circuit layer 120 also includes a plurality of connecting signal lines 123 , which are spaced apart in the row direction, and each connecting signal line 123 extends in the column direction and is arranged on one side of the pixel electrode block 122 , that is, the pixel electrode block 122 is located between adjacent connecting signal lines 123 .
[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, each group of common electrode units 121 is connected to the corresponding first driving pin, each connecting signal line 123 is connected to the corresponding second driving pin, and the second conductive electrode 1312 is connected to the corresponding third driving pin. By connecting the three to different pins respectively, it can be achieved that the signal fluctuations generated during touch will not affect the display effect.
[0089] It is worth mentioning that the second conductive electrode 1312 is usually input with a common signal.
[0090] In the examples of this application, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electrophoresis unit 131 further includes a fourth conductive electrode 1314, which is arranged opposite to the third conductive electrode 1313, that is, the fourth conductive electrode 1314 is located on the other side of the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312, and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 is spaced from the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312. That is, the fourth conductive electrode 1314 is located on the right side or the left side of the microcapsule structure 1310. The fourth conductive electrodes 1314 of the electrophoresis units 131 in adjacent rows are connected, and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 and the third conductive electrode 1313 are respectively connected to the adjacent connection signal lines 123 on both sides of the pixel electrode block 122, so as to increase the number of touch driving electrodes and improve the touch accuracy.
[0091] It can be understood that the third conductive electrode 1313 and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 can also be located at the front and rear sides of the microcapsule structure 1310, that is, the third conductive electrode 1313 and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 are extended in the row direction, and the extension directions of the connecting signal line 123 and the common electrode unit 121 are mutually converted, that is, the connecting signal line 123 is extended in the row direction, and the common electrode unit 121 is extended in the column direction.
[0092] In addition, the third conductive electrodes 1313 and the fourth conductive electrodes 1314 may also be arranged in other directions, which may be specifically designed according to different embodiments, as long as the third conductive electrodes 1313 and the fourth conductive electrodes 1314 are reused as touch driving electrodes (TX).
[0093] It is worth mentioning that see Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, the orthographic projections of the fourth conductive electrode 1314 and the connecting signal line 123 connected to the fourth conductive electrode 1314 on the base substrate 110 do not overlap with the orthographic projections of the active layer 1241 on the base substrate 110, so as to avoid the fourth conductive electrode 1314 and the connecting signal line 123 from electrically affecting the channel region of the transistor 124, thereby ensuring the transmission stability of the signal.
[0094] When the microcapsule structure 1310 is disposed between the first conductive electrode 1311 , the second conductive electrode 1312 , the third conductive electrode 1313 and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 , the microcapsule structure 1310 can be prevented from sliding into other pixel regions, thereby ensuring the display effect.
[0095] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to ensure the connection between the third conductive electrode 1313 and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 and the connection signal line 123 , the lower edges of the third conductive electrode 1313 and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 are flush with the lower edge of the first conductive electrode 1311 .
[0096] In the examples of this application, see Figure 5 As shown, the microcapsule structure 1310 includes an electrophoretic liquid and at least two electrophoretic particles 13100 of different colors. The electrophoretic particles 13100 can move in the electrophoretic liquid under the voltage of the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312 to present different display images.
[0097] The touch display panel 100 can realize both black and white display and color display. When the touch display panel 100 realizes black and white display, the microcapsule structure 1310 only includes black particles and white particles.
[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the touch display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array in the row direction and the column direction. Each pixel unit includes at least one sub-pixel, and a sub-pixel includes a microcapsule structure 1310 .
[0099] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, this touch display panel 100 can realize color display. Each pixel unit includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, and each sub-pixel corresponds to a microcapsule structure 1310. The microcapsule structures 1310 corresponding to the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel each include electrophoretic particles 13100 of three different colors. Among them, the microcapsule structure 1310 corresponding to the red sub-pixel includes red particles, white particles and black particles; the microcapsule structure 1310 corresponding to the green sub-pixel includes green particles, white particles and black particles; the microcapsule structure 1310 corresponding to the blue sub-pixel includes blue particles, white particles and black particles.
[0100] See also Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, the driving circuit layer 120 also includes a first electrode 125, and the first electrode 125 is arranged on the same layer as the gate electrode 1240. That is to say, the first electrode 125 and the gate electrode 1240 can be formed by the same film forming process, and then formed by a single composition process using the same mask. Such a design can simplify the manufacturing process, save manufacturing costs, and improve production efficiency. In addition, compared with the solution of designing them on different layers, the first electrode 125 and the gate electrode 1240 are arranged on the same layer, which can also reduce the overall thickness of the touch display panel 100, thereby facilitating the realization of a thin and light display product.
[0101] In order to avoid mutual interference between the first electrode 125 and the gate 1240 , the first electrode 125 and the gate 1240 are spaced apart from each other.
[0102] In the examples of this application, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, a second via structure M2 is provided on the gate insulating layer 1244, and the second via structure M2 exposes a portion of the first electrode 125. The first electrode 1242 is connected to the first electrode 125 through the second via structure M2, and the first electrode 125 receives a data signal transmitted by the first electrode 1242. The orthographic projection of the first electrode 125 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the common electrode unit 121 on the base substrate 110 have at least a partially overlapping area, and the first electrode 125 and the common electrode unit 121 form a second storage capacitor Cst2.
[0103] The second storage capacitor Cst2 formed by the first electrode 125 and the common electrode unit 121 can increase the storage capacitor in the touch display panel 100 , thereby improving the optical quality of the touch display panel 100 .
[0104] The present application scheme reduces the number of design layers of the touch drive electrode (TX) and the touch sensing electrode (RX) by reusing the third conductive electrode 1313 and the fourth conductive electrode 1314 in the electrophoresis unit 131 as the touch drive electrode (TX), and reusing the common electrode unit 121 in the drive circuit layer 120 as the touch sensing electrode (RX), thereby reducing the thickness of the entire touch display panel 100. Designing the touch drive electrode (TX) on the drive circuit layer 120 can avoid the influence of the common electrode block 1210 on the touch drive electrode (TX), thereby improving the touch accuracy. In addition, connecting the second conductive electrode 1312, the connecting signal line 123 and the common electrode unit 121 to different pins of the drive chip 200 can ensure that when touching, the voltage on the second conductive electrode 1312 will not change due to signal fluctuations, thereby ensuring a normal display effect when touching.
[0105] Embodiment 2
[0106] See also Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, the third embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a touch display panel 100, which mainly includes the following steps:
[0107] Step S100, providing a base substrate 110;
[0108] Step S200, forming a driving circuit layer 120 on the base substrate 110;
[0109] The driving circuit layer 120 includes a common electrode unit 121, a pixel electrode block 122 and a connecting signal line 123. The common electrode unit 121 is arranged on a side of the pixel electrode block 122 away from the base substrate 110, and an insulating layer is formed between the pixel electrode block 122; the extension direction of the connecting signal line 123 intersects with the extension direction of the common electrode unit 121.
[0110] In step S300 , an electronic paper film 130 is formed on a side of the driving circuit layer 120 away from the base substrate 110 .
[0111] The electronic paper film 130 includes a plurality of electrophoretic cells 131 arranged in an array in the row direction and the column direction. Each electrophoretic cell 131 includes a microcapsule structure 1310 , a first conductive electrode 1311 , a second conductive electrode 1312 , and a third conductive electrode 1313 .
[0112] See also Figure 1As shown, the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the microcapsule structure 1310. The first conductive electrode 1311 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode block 122 when the electronic paper film 130 is attached to the driving circuit layer 120, that is, the first conductive electrode 1311 is disposed on the lower side of the microcapsule structure 1310. Correspondingly, the second conductive electrode 1312 is disposed on the upper side of the microcapsule structure 1310, and the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312 are used to drive the movement of the electrophoretic particles 13100 in the microcapsule structure 1310.
[0113] It can be understood that, since the first conductive electrode 1311 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode block 122 , the voltage signal of the first conductive electrode 1311 is the same as the voltage signal of the pixel electrode block 122 .
[0114] See also Figure 6 As shown, the third conductive electrode 1313 is arranged on the same side of the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312, that is, the third conductive electrode 1313 is arranged on the left or right side of the microcapsule structure 1310, and is spaced from the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312 to avoid interference with each other and ensure the display effect; the orthographic projection of the third conductive electrode 1313 on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the connection signal line 123 on the base substrate 110, and is connected to the connection signal line 123, and the extension direction of the third conductive electrode 1313 is the same as the extension direction of the connection signal line 123.
[0115] It should be noted that the electrophoresis units 131 in adjacent rows may be connected to each other, that is, the first conductive electrodes 1311 in adjacent row directions may be connected to each other, and the first conductive electrodes 1311 are extended in the column direction. Correspondingly, the third conductive electrodes 1313 in adjacent column directions may also be connected to each other, and the third conductive electrodes 1313 are also extended in the column direction.
[0116] Among them, the second conductive electrode 1312, the connecting signal line 123 and the common electrode unit 121 can be connected to different driving pins of the driving chip 200 respectively. Since the voltage of the first conductive electrode 1311 and the voltage of the second conductive electrode 1312 are used to control the movement of the electrophoretic particles 13100 in the microcapsule structure 1310, when the second conductive electrode 1312 is connected to a driving pin different from the connecting signal line 123 and the common electrode unit 121, the second conductive electrode 1312 is driven by a separate driving pin. When the touch display panel 100 is touched, the signal fluctuation will not change the voltage on the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312, and will not affect the movement of the electrophoretic particles 13100, and will not affect the display.
[0117] See also Figure 4As shown, in order to realize touch control, one of the common electrode unit 121 and the third conductive electrode 1313 is used as a touch sensing electrode (RX), and the other is used as a touch driving electrode (TX). In addition, the orthographic projection of the common electrode unit 121 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the third conductive electrode 1313 on the base substrate 110 have an overlapping area A, and the overlapping area A is used as a touch detection point.
[0118] It can be understood that by multiplexing the common electrode unit 121 in the driving circuit layer 120 as a touch sensing electrode (RX) or a touch driving electrode (TX), and multiplexing the third conductive electrode 1313 as a touch driving electrode (TX) or a touch sensing electrode (RX), the design film layers of the touch driving electrode (TX) and the touch sensing electrode (RX) can be reduced, and the thickness of the touch display panel 100 can be reduced.
[0119] In addition, when the touch sensing electrodes (RX) or the touch driving electrodes (TX) are disposed on the electronic paper film 130 layer, the shielding effect of the common electrode unit 121 on the touch sensing electrodes (RX) or the touch driving electrodes (TX) can be avoided, thereby improving the touch accuracy of the touch display panel 100.
[0120] It is worth mentioning that the connecting signal line 123 is disposed in the same layer as the pixel electrode block 122 and is spaced apart from each other. The common electrode unit 121 is disposed in the same layer as the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243 and is spaced apart from each other.
[0121] See also Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, this preparation method also includes the following steps:
[0122] Step S210, forming a first metal layer on the base substrate 110, and patterning the first metal layer to form a gate 1240;

[0124] Step S230, forming a second metal layer on the gate insulating layer 1244, and patterning the second metal layer to form a first electrode 1242, a second electrode 1243 and a common electrode unit 121;
[0125] Step S240, forming a planar layer 1245 on the gate insulating layer 1244, the planar layer 1245 covers the first electrode 1242, the active layer 1241, the second electrode 1243 and the common electrode, and opening a first via structure M1 in a portion corresponding to the first electrode 1242, the first via structure M1 exposing a portion of the first electrode 1242;
[0126] Step S250 , forming a transparent layer on the planar layer 1245 , and patterning the transparent layer to form pixel electrode blocks 122 and connecting signal lines 123 spaced apart from each other, wherein the pixel electrode blocks 122 are connected to the first electrode 1242 through the first via structure M1 .
[0127] It can be understood that by arranging the common electrode unit 121 on the same layer as the first electrode 1242 and the second electrode 1243, and arranging the connecting signal line 123 and the pixel electrode block 122 on the same side, the number of design layers of the connecting signal line 123 and the common electrode unit 121 can be reduced, thereby reducing the number of layers of the touch display panel 100, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the touch display panel 100 and is more conducive to a lightweight design.
[0128] In addition, in the examples of this application, see Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the driving circuit layer 120 further includes a first electrode 125, and the first electrode 125 is disposed in the same layer as the gate electrode 1240, that is, before forming the active layer 1241 on the base substrate 110, the preparation method further includes:
[0129] Step S211, forming a first metal layer on the base substrate 110, and patterning the first metal layer to form a gate 1240 and a first electrode 125;
[0130] In step S212, a gate insulating layer 1244 is formed on the base substrate 110, the gate insulating layer 1244 covers the gate 1240 and the first electrode 125, and a second via structure M2 is opened in a portion corresponding to the first electrode 125, the second via structure M2 exposes a portion of the first electrode 125, and the first electrode 1242 is connected to the first electrode 125 through the second via structure M2.
[0131] The first electrode 125 and the common electrode unit 121 form a second storage capacitor Cst2 , which increases the storage capacitance of the touch display panel 100 and effectively improves the display effect of the touch display panel 100 .

When the touch display panel 100 is touched, signal fluctuations will not affect the voltage between the first conductive electrode 1311 and the second conductive electrode 1312, and will not affect the movement of the electrophoretic particles 13100 in the microcapsule structure 1310, and will not affect the display.
