Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. Background Art
[0002] In order to realize the touch function, existing display devices integrate the display driver and touch driver together on the display panel. In order to reduce costs and reduce the thickness of the display device, the common electrode blocks in the common electrode layer are reused as sensing electrodes. As display devices develop towards large sizes, narrow borders, and high screen-to-body ratios, in order to maintain the touch accuracy, more touch lines need to be added, and each touch line requires a channel output signal on the corresponding driver chip. However, the number of channels for a drive signal is limited, and accordingly more driver chips need to be added, resulting in higher costs and larger borders for the display device. In order to solve the above problems, existing display devices use one sensing signal line to control two sensing electrodes within the surface, thereby reducing the number of touch lines without sacrificing touch accuracy. However, the above solution has the following problems: when one of the sensing electrodes does not input a signal, the sensing electrode is in a passive state, without any DC or AC voltage for signal transmission. The sensing electrode is easily affected by other signals and may be falsely touched. The sensing electrode may also affect other signals and cause poor display.
[0003] Therefore, the existing display panel using time-sharing drive sensing electrodes has a technical problem of poor touch stability. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a comparative display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is a timing diagram of a comparative display device provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0028] In order to illustrate the principle of the technical problem of the embodiment of the present application, a comparative display device is provided. It is understood that the comparative display device cannot be regarded as the existing technology in this field. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the comparative display device includes a first electrode block Sensor011, a second electrode block Sensor012, a third electrode block Sensor021 and a fourth electrode block Sensor022. In order to reduce the number of touch signal lines, two electrode blocks in the same column are connected to the same sensing line, for example Figure 1 The first electrode block Sensor011 and the second electrode block Sensor012 are connected to the first sensing line RX01, and the third electrode block Sensor021 and the fourth electrode block Sensor022 are connected to the second sensing line RX02. In order to realize the independent operation of each electrode block, a first sensing transistor T01, a second sensing transistor T02, a third sensing transistor T03, and a fourth sensing transistor T04 are respectively connected to each electrode block, and a first touch control line TP01 and a second touch control line TP02 are set to control each transistor. Figure 1 、 Figure 2It can be seen that when the first touch control line TP01 inputs a high potential and the second touch control line TP02 inputs a low potential, the first sensing transistor T01 and the third sensing transistor T03 will be turned on, and the corresponding first sensing line RX01 and the second sensing line RX02 will output signals to the first electrode block Sensor011 and the third electrode block Sensor021 respectively. When the first touch control line TP01 inputs a low potential and the second touch control line TP02 inputs a high potential, the second sensing transistor T02 and the fourth sensing transistor T04 will be turned on, and the corresponding first sensing line RX01 and the second sensing line RX02 will output signals to the second electrode block Sensor012 and the fourth electrode block Sensor022 respectively, so that one sensing line controls two electrode blocks. But from Figure 2 As can be seen from the above description, when one of the first touch control line TP01 and the second touch control line TP02 is at a low potential, the corresponding electrode block will not input any signal, which is equivalent to the electrode block being in a passive state. At this time, the electrode block will be coupled with other signal lines or electrodes, and will affect other signal lines, and will be easily affected by other electrode blocks, resulting in false touches and poor display. The electrode block has poor stability, affecting touch and display stability. Figure 2 As shown, it is shown that when the first electrode block Sensor011, the second electrode block Sensor012, the third electrode block Sensor021 and the fourth electrode block Sensor022 are disturbed, certain signals will be generated. Figure 2 The signal shown in FIG is regular, but in reality the signal may be irregular and fluctuate greatly, resulting in abnormal touch and display. Therefore, the existing display panel using time-sharing drive sensing electrodes has a technical problem of poor touch stability.
[0029] In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a display panel and a display device to solve the above technical problems.

Figure 9 This is a sixth schematic diagram of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 10The display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured as the second timing diagram of the touch stage.
[0031] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel, the display panel 1 including a plurality of sensing electrodes 11 and a plurality of sensing signal lines 12 arranged in an array, each sensing signal line 12 being electrically connected to at least two sensing electrodes 11, a control transistor 13 and a voltage-stabilizing transistor 15 being provided between each sensing electrode 11 and the corresponding sensing signal line 12, the gate of the control transistor 13 being connected to the control signal line 14, the first electrode of the control transistor 13 being connected to the sensing electrode 11, the second electrode of the control transistor 13 being connected to the sensing signal line 12, the gate of the voltage-stabilizing transistor 15 being connected to the voltage-stabilizing control line 16, the first electrode of the voltage-stabilizing transistor 15 being connected to the sensing electrode 11, and the second electrode of the voltage-stabilizing transistor 15 being connected to the voltage-stabilizing drive line LFD;
[0032] The gates of the control transistors 13 connected to the sensing electrodes 11 in the same row are connected to the same control signal line 14, while the gates of the control transistors 13 connected to the sensing electrodes 11 in different rows are connected to different control signal lines 14. The second electrodes of the control transistors 13 connected to the sensing electrodes 11 in the same row are connected to different sensing signal lines 12. The gates of the voltage-regulating transistors 15 connected to the sensing electrodes 11 in the same row are connected to the same voltage-regulating control line 16, while the gates of the voltage-regulating transistors 15 connected to the sensing electrodes 11 in different rows are connected to different voltage-regulating control lines 16. The second electrodes of the voltage-regulating transistors 15 are all connected to the voltage-regulating drive line LFD.
[0033] The sensing electrodes 11 are configured to input common signals in the display phase and to input sensing signals in the touch phase. When the display panel 1 is configured in the touch phase, one of the control signal lines 14 inputs a valid level, the other control signal lines 14 input an invalid level, one of the voltage stabilization control lines 16 inputs an invalid level, and the other voltage stabilization control lines 16 input a valid level. The sensing electrode 11 connected to the control transistor 13 connected to the control signal line 14 inputting the valid level is the same as the sensing electrode 11 connected to the voltage stabilization transistor 15 connected to the voltage stabilization control line 16 inputting the invalid level. The voltage stabilization drive line LFD is configured to output a stabilization signal.
[0034] An embodiment of the present application provides a display panel. The display panel is provided with voltage-stabilizing transistors, each of which is connected to a sensing electrode. The gate of the voltage-stabilizing transistor is connected to a voltage-stabilizing control line. The first electrode of the voltage-stabilizing transistor is connected to the sensing electrode. The second electrode of the voltage-stabilizing transistor is connected to a voltage-stabilizing drive line. When the display panel is configured in a touch-sensitive stage, one control signal line inputs a valid level, and the other control signal lines input invalid levels. One voltage-stabilizing control signal line inputs an invalid level, and the other voltage-stabilizing control signal lines input valid levels. The voltage-stabilizing drive line is configured to output a voltage-stabilizing signal. Thus, when the sensing electrode does not input a sensing signal, the sensing electrode can input a voltage-stabilizing signal. This stabilizes the signal on the sensing electrode, prevents the sensing electrode from being affected by other signals or affecting other signals when it is suspended, prevents false touches, prevents display defects, and improves touch stability.
[0035] Specifically, it can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the sensing electrodes are multiplexed as common electrodes, that is, the common electrode layer in the display panel can be used to form a plurality of electrodes arranged at intervals, and the electrodes are multiplexed as sensing electrodes and common electrodes. In the touch stage, the sensing electrodes transmit sensing signals to realize the touch function, and in the display stage, the sensing electrodes transmit common signals to realize the display function.
[0036] Specifically, the effective level refers to an electrical signal that can turn on the transistor, and the invalid level refers to an electrical signal that turns off the transistor. When a high-voltage signal is input to the gate of the transistor, the transistor is turned on, and the effective level refers to the high-voltage signal. When a low-voltage signal is input to the gate of the transistor, the transistor is turned on, and the effective level refers to the low-voltage signal. The embodiment of the present application is explained by taking the example of turning on the transistor when a high-voltage signal is input to the gate of the transistor. It can be understood that the type of transistor can be changed so that the transistor is turned on when a low-voltage signal is input to the gate of the transistor.
[0037] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, each sensing signal line is electrically connected to at least two sensing electrodes, and a transistor is provided between the sensing signal line and the sensing electrode. By controlling the conduction or shutdown of the circuit through the transistor, multiple sensing electrodes electrically connected to the same sensing signal line are driven in a time-sharing manner. Each sensing electrode can work independently, thereby improving touch accuracy.
[0038] like Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1 , taking the example of a sensing signal line connecting two adjacent sensing electrodes in two adjacent columns of sensing electrodes, it can be seen that the sensing signal line 12 includes a first sensing signal line RX1 and a second sensing signal line RX2, and the sensing electrode 11 includes a first sensing electrode Sensor11, a second sensing electrode Sensor12, a third sensing electrode Sensor21, and a fourth sensing electrode Sensor22. The first sensing electrode Sensor11, the second sensing electrode Sensor12, the third sensing electrode Sensor21, and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor22 can be the sensing electrode in the first row and the first column, the sensing electrode in the second row and the first column, respectively. The sensing electrode in the first row and the second column, and the sensing electrode in the second row and the second column, accordingly, the control transistor 13 includes a first control transistor T11, a second control transistor T12, a third control transistor T13 and a fourth control transistor T14, the control signal line 14 includes a first control signal line TP-MUX1 and a second control signal line TP-MUX2, the voltage-stabilizing transistor 15 includes a first voltage-stabilizing transistor T21, a second voltage-stabilizing transistor T22, a third voltage-stabilizing transistor T23 and a fourth voltage-stabilizing transistor T24, and the voltage-stabilizing control line 16 includes a first voltage-stabilizing control line TP-MUX-MSC1 and a second voltage-stabilizing control line TP-MUX-MSC2.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a control transistor 13 and a voltage-stabilizing transistor 15 are provided between each sensing electrode 11 and the corresponding sensing signal line 12. For example, a first control transistor T11 and a first voltage-stabilizing transistor T21 are provided between the first sensing electrode Sensor11 and the corresponding first sensing signal line RX1. The gates of the first control transistor T11 and the third control transistor T13 are both connected to the first control signal line TP-MUX1, and the gates of the second control transistor T12 and the fourth control transistor T14 are both connected to the second control signal line TP-MUX2. The first electrode of the first control transistor T11, the first electrode of the second control transistor T12, the first electrode of the third control transistor T13, and the first electrode of the fourth control transistor T14 are respectively connected to the first sensing electrode Sensor11, the second sensing electrode Sensor12, the third sensing electrode Sensor21, and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor22. The second electrode of the first control transistor T11 and the second electrode of the second control transistor T12 are connected to the first sensing signal line RX1, and the second electrode of the third control transistor T13 and the second electrode of the fourth control transistor are connected to the second sensing signal line RX2.
[0040] like Figure 3As shown, the gates of the first voltage-stabilizing transistor T21 and the third voltage-stabilizing transistor T23 are connected to the first voltage-stabilizing control line TP-MUX-MSC1, the gates of the second voltage-stabilizing transistor T22 and the fourth voltage-stabilizing transistor T24 are connected to the second voltage-stabilizing control line TP-MUX-MSC2, the first electrode of the first voltage-stabilizing transistor T21, the first electrode of the second voltage-stabilizing transistor T22, the first electrode of the third voltage-stabilizing transistor T23, and the first electrode of the fourth voltage-stabilizing transistor T24 are respectively connected to the first sensing electrode Sensor11, the second sensing electrode Sensor12, the third sensing electrode Sensor21, and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor22, and the second electrode of the first voltage-stabilizing transistor T21, the second electrode of the second voltage-stabilizing transistor T22, the second electrode of the third voltage-stabilizing transistor T23, and the second electrode of the fourth voltage-stabilizing transistor T24 are connected to the voltage-stabilizing drive line LFD.
[0041] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , it can be seen that when the display panel is configured as a touch stage, Figure 3As an example, in the display panel shown in FIG. 1 , in the first time period t1, the first control signal line TP-MUX1 inputs a valid level, the second control signal line TP-MUX2 inputs an invalid level, the first voltage regulation control line TP-MUX-MSC1 inputs an invalid level, and the second voltage regulation control line TP-MUX-MSC2 inputs a valid level. At the same time, the first sensing signal line RX1 and the second sensing signal line RX2 input sensing signals, so that the first sensing electrode Sensor 11 and the third sensing electrode Sensor 21 input sensing signals, and the second sensing electrode Sensor 12 and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor 22 input voltage regulation signals. When the first sensing electrode Sensor 11 and the third sensing electrode Sensor 21 realize touch control, the second sensing electrode Sensor 12 and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor 22 input voltage regulation signals. In the second time period t2, the first control signal line TP-MUX1 inputs an invalid level, the second control signal line TP-MUX-MSC1 inputs an invalid level, and the second voltage regulation control line TP-MUX-MSC2 inputs a valid level. At the same time, the first sensing signal line RX1 and the second sensing signal line RX2 input sensing signals, so that the first sensing electrode Sensor 11 and the third sensing electrode Sensor 21 input sensing signals, and the second sensing electrode Sensor 12 and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor 22 input voltage regulation signals. The first voltage stabilization control line TP-MUX-MSC1 inputs a valid level, and the second voltage stabilization control line TP-MUX-MSC2 inputs an invalid level. At the same time, the first sensing signal line RX1 and the second sensing signal line RX2 input sensing signals, so that the first sensing electrode Sensor11 and the third sensing electrode Sensor21 input voltage stabilization signals, and the second sensing electrode Sensor12 and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor22 input sensing signals. When the second sensing electrode Sensor12 and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor22 implement touch control, the first sensing electrode Sensor11 and the third sensing electrode Sensor21 input voltage stabilization signals, thereby preventing the sensing electrodes from being in a floating potential state, resulting in coupling between the sensing electrodes and other electrodes or signal lines, preventing the sensing electrodes from being affected by other signals, and preventing the sensing electrodes from affecting other signals, thereby improving touch stability and display stability.
[0042] Taking the comparative display device provided in the embodiment of the present application as an example, in the display stage, the first touch control line TP01 and the second touch control line TP02 both output high potential signals, turning on each transistor and outputting a common voltage to each electrode block through the sensing line to realize the display function. Figure 1 As can be seen, one sensing line needs to input signals to two electrode blocks, resulting in a heavy load on the sensing line and insufficient signal supply capacity. The signal transmitted from the sensing line to the electrode block cannot maintain a stable voltage, and the voltages of different electrode blocks may be uneven, resulting in uneven display and further display abnormalities.
[0043] In order to solve the above problems, in some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the display panel 1 further includes a switching signal line TPSW, a common signal line COM, and a switching transistor 17. The gate of the switching transistor 17 is connected to the switching signal line TPSW, the first electrode of the switching transistor 17 is electrically connected to the sensing electrode 11, and the second electrode of the switching transistor 17 is connected to the common signal line COM. When the display panel 1 is configured in the display phase, the switching signal line TPSW inputs an active voltage level. By configuring the switching transistor, the switching signal line, and the common signal line, when the display panel is in the display phase, the switching signal line inputs an active voltage level to turn on the switching transistor, and the common signal line can output a common signal to each sensing electrode, thereby maintaining a stable signal at each sensing electrode, improving the uniformity of the common voltage across each sensing electrode, and ensuring normal display of the display panel.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the switching transistor 17 includes a first transistor T31, a second transistor T32, a third transistor T33, and a fourth transistor T34. The gates of the first transistor T31, the second transistor T32, the third transistor T33, and the fourth transistor T34 are all connected to the switching signal line TPSW. The first electrode of the first transistor T31, the first electrode of the second transistor T32, the first electrode of the third transistor T33, and the first electrode of the fourth transistor T34 are respectively connected to the first sensing electrode Sensor11, the second sensing electrode Sensor12, the third sensing electrode Sensor21, and the fourth sensing electrode Sensor22. The second electrode of the first transistor T31, the second electrode of the second transistor T32, the second electrode of the third transistor T33, and the second electrode of the fourth transistor T34 are connected to the common signal line.
[0045] Specifically, when the display panel is in the touch stage, the switch signal line inputs an invalid level to turn off the switch transistor. The common signal line can continuously output the common signal or input the common signal only when the display panel is in the display stage.
[0046] In some embodiments, the switch transistor 17 is disposed between the sensing electrode 11 and the voltage regulator transistor 15 ; or the switch transistor 17 is disposed between the sensing signal line 12 and the control transistor 13 ; or the switch transistor is disposed on a side of the sensing electrode 11 away from the sensing signal line 12 .
[0047] Specifically, when setting the switching transistor, the switching transistor can be set between the sensing electrode and the voltage regulating transistor, or between the sensing signal line and the control transistor, or on the side of the sensing electrode away from the sensing signal line.
[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the switching transistor 17 includes a first switching transistor 171 and a second switching transistor 172. A first switching transistor 171 is provided between each sensing electrode 11 and the corresponding sensing signal line 12, and a second switching transistor 172 is provided between each sensing signal line 12 and the corresponding plurality of sensing electrodes 11. The first switching transistor 171 is provided between the sensing electrode 11 and the voltage-stabilizing transistor 15, and the second switching transistor 172 is provided between the control transistor 13 and the sensing signal line 12. By providing the first switching transistor between the sensing electrode and the voltage-stabilizing transistor and the second switching transistor between the sensing signal line and the control transistor, the uniformity of the common voltage on each sensing electrode during the display phase can be further improved, thereby eliminating display unevenness caused by voltage unevenness and improving the display effect.
[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first switch transistor 171 may include a first transistor T31, a second transistor T32, a third transistor T33, and a fourth transistor T34, and their connection relationship can be referred to the above description. The second switch transistor 172 includes a fifth transistor T35 and a sixth transistor T36. The gates of the fifth transistor T35 and the sixth transistor T36 are connected to the switch signal line TPSW. The first electrode of the fifth transistor T35 is connected to the second electrode of the first control transistor T11 and the second electrode of the second control transistor T12. The first electrode of the sixth transistor T36 is connected to the second electrode of the third control transistor T13 and the second electrode of the fourth control transistor T14. The second electrode of the fifth transistor T35 and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T36 are connected to the common signal line COM.
[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the switching transistor 17 further includes a third switching transistor 173, which is disposed on a side of the sensing electrode 11 away from the sensing signal line 12. Each sensing electrode 11 is connected to a first electrode of the third switching transistor 173. By providing the third switching transistor, and disposing the third switching transistor on a side of the sensing electrode away from the sensing signal line, the stability of the common signal input to the sensing electrodes can be further improved, the uniformity of the common voltage across the sensing electrodes can be improved, and display uniformity can be improved.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 7As shown, the third switch transistor 173 includes a seventh transistor T37, an eighth transistor T38, a ninth transistor T39, and a tenth transistor T40.
