[0030] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application relates to a touch display panel, a touch driving method, an electronic device and a storage medium. Before introducing the embodiments of the present application, the problems existing in the touch display panel and the touch driving method in the related art will be illustrated in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0031] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a touch display panel 100 in the related art is shown. Figure 1 The touch display panel 100 in the related art includes a display layer 110 and a touch layer 120. Figure 2 and Figure 3 are partial schematic diagrams of the display layer 110 and the touch layer 120, respectively.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , the display layer 110 includes a pixel array, a pixel circuit, a driving circuit, a display driving chip (drive IC, DIC), and the like.

[0033] The pixel array includes a plurality of sub-pixels 111 arranged in an array, and each sub-pixel is provided with a pixel circuit 112 corresponding thereto, and the pixel circuit includes a plurality of switching transistors for controlling each sub-pixel to emit light under the driving of the driving circuit.

[0034] The driving circuit 113 includes a plurality of scan lines 1131 connected to a plurality of pixel circuits corresponding to each pixel row, and a plurality of data lines 1132 connected to a plurality of pixel circuits corresponding to each pixel column.

[0035] The display driving chip 114 is connected to the plurality of scan lines 1131 and the plurality of data lines 1132, and is used to provide an electrical signal to drive the display layer 110 to display.

[0036] The touch layer 120 is arranged in a stack with the display layer 110, and is used to identify the touch operation of a user, so as to realize human-computer interaction. The structure of the touch layer in the related art and its working principle will be described in more detail in combination with Figure 3 .

[0037] As shown in Figure 3 , the touch layer 120 includes a driving electrode array and a sensing electrode array, wherein the driving electrode array includes a plurality of driving electrodes 121 arranged along a first direction, and the sensing electrode array includes a plurality of sensing electrodes 122 arranged along a second direction. The driving electrodes 121 and the sensing electrodes 122 are usually made of a transparent conductive material, which may be, for example, Indium Tin Oxides (ITO).

[0038] The touch control layer 120 further comprises a touch driving unit (TIC) 123 connected with the plurality of driving electrodes 121 and the plurality of sensing electrodes 122, for sending a scanning signal to the driving electrodes 121 and detecting a sensing signal of the plurality of sensing electrodes 122, so as to determine a touch position; the plurality of driving electrodes 121 are also referred to as TX channels, and the sensing electrodes are also referred to as RX channels.

[0039] The plurality of driving electrodes 121 and the plurality of sensing electrodes 122 are arranged in perpendicular intersection, and the intersection of the two electrodes forms a capacitor, that is, the two groups of electrodes constitute electrodes of the capacitor. When a finger touches, the touch point will affect the coupling between the two electrodes near the touch point, thereby changing the capacitance between the two electrodes. When detecting the mutual capacitance, the driving electrodes send excitation signals in turn, and the sensing electrodes receive signals at the same time, so that the capacitance values of all electrode intersection points, that is, the capacitance values of the two-dimensional plane of the entire touch screen, can be obtained. According to the two-dimensional capacitance variation data of the touch screen, the coordinates of each touch point can be calculated. It should be noted that in the touch display panel, the first direction can be the width direction, and the second direction can be the length direction, that is, the driving electrodes extend along the length direction, and the sensing electrodes extend along the width direction. Of course, the present application does not specifically limit the directions of the two electrodes, and the driving electrodes can also be arranged to extend along the width direction, and the sensing electrodes can be arranged to extend along the length direction.

[0040] The specific principle of the touch control layer will be further described below. When a user's finger touches the screen, the capacitance value of the mutual capacitance is detected, and a difference value is obtained by subtracting a reference value from the capacitance value. When the difference value exceeds a preset threshold value, it can be determined that a finger touches the screen, and the number of fingers touching the screen and the position information of the user touching the screen can be determined. Here, the reference value is a value set according to the capacitance (which can be referred to as the background capacitance) of the touch display panel when it is not touched. Since the background capacitances of different regions on the touch screen can not be consistent, the reference value can be usually set as an average value of the background capacitances of a plurality of regions on the touch screen, or as a maximum value of the background capacitances of the plurality of regions, or as the average value or the maximum value plus a constant, or as a value greater than the average value or the maximum value, and the present application does not limit this.

[0041] In the related art, the manner in which the touch driving unit 123 sends a scanning signal to the plurality of driving electrodes 121 includes single-channel sequential scanning and multi-channel group scanning. The report point rate of the touch screen is determined by the scanning time of the screen channels and the data processing and coordinate calculation time of the touch driving unit; since the data processing time and the coordinate calculation time of the touch driving unit are usually short. The key to determining the high and low of the report point rate depends on the time required for scanning all the TX channels on the screen.

[0042] As described above, the report rate of the existing touch screen depends on the time required to complete the scanning of all TX channels and the data processing by the touch driving unit, and to report the coordinates on the entire screen. Therefore, the report rate of the entire touch screen is a constant value at a moment. In order to meet the basic touch requirements, i.e., to achieve good hand following performance, the report rate is usually set to be twice the display frequency. For example, when the display layer refresh rate is 60 Hz, the touch report rate is usually set to 120 Hz.

[0043] With the development of display technology, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing screen power consumption, a local refresh technical solution has appeared in the display field at present, that is, different refresh rates are used in different areas of the same screen. For example, in a video scene, the refresh rate of the area outside the video picture display area can be reduced; for example, in a split screen application scene, the display areas of different applications can be set to be different, for example, the refresh rate of the area where the instant messaging application is located is reduced, and the refresh rate of the area where the short video application is located is increased, so as to reduce the overall power consumption on the premise of providing better user experience.

[0044] In the driving scheme of the touch layer described above, whether the refresh rate of the current display layer is a fixed value (for example, 60 Hz or 120 Hz) or the refresh rates of different display areas are different, the report rate of the entire touch layer at the same moment is a fixed value. At this time, the touch report rate and the display refresh rate are mismatched, which will be illustrated by examples. For example, when the touch report rate is 120 Hz and the refresh rate of all display areas is 60 Hz, the touch report rate and the display refresh rate are matched; when the refresh rate of a first display area is adjusted to 30 Hz and the refresh rate of a second display area is adjusted to 120 Hz, if the touch report rate is still maintained at 120 Hz, at this time, the touch report rate is "wasted" in the first display area, and the report rate is insufficient in the second display area. Therefore, how to balance the high report rate of touch driving and low power consumption has become a problem to be solved.

[0045] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a touch display panel, a touch driving method, an electronic device and a storage medium. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] The touch display panel 400 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a light-emitting layer 410 and a touch panel 420 which are arranged in layers, Figure 4 andFigure 5 Schematic structural diagram of the light-emitting layer and the touch layer, respectively.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 , the light-emitting layer 410 includes a pixel array 411, which includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in an array, capable of emitting light under the driving of a display driving signal for display. The specific principle of the light-emitting layer 410 will not be described here, and can be referred to the description of the light-emitting layer in the foregoing Figure 2 .

[0048] The touch panel 420 is arranged above the light-emitting layer 410 along the light-emitting direction of the light-emitting layer 410. In some embodiments, the touch panel 420 can be bonded on the light-emitting layer 410 through transparent optical adhesive OCA.

[0049] As shown in Figure 5 , the touch panel 420 includes a plurality of driving electrodes 421 arranged along a first direction, a plurality of sensing electrodes 422 arranged along a second direction, and a touch driving unit 423.

[0050] The touch driving unit 423 is connected with the plurality of driving electrodes 421 and the plurality of sensing electrodes 422, and is configured to send a scanning signal to the plurality of driving electrodes 421 and receive a sensing signal of the plurality of sensing electrodes 422 to determine a touch position of the touch panel 420.

[0051] The touch driving unit 423 can send the scanning signal to the plurality of driving electrodes 421 in many ways. For example, the touch driving unit can send the scanning signal to each driving electrode in turn, while receiving the sensing signal of the sensing electrode, and determine the touch position according to the received sensing signal. For another example, the plurality of driving electrodes 421 can also be processed in groups, so that each group of driving electrodes includes a first number of driving electrodes, and the touch driving unit is configured to send the scanning signal to all driving electrodes in a group of driving electrodes at the same time, and send the driving signal to the groups of driving electrodes in turn according to the order of the groups of driving electrodes. The scanning mode of the driving signal is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] The driving control unit in the embodiments of the present application is also configured to determine a target display area (such as the area A shown in Figure 4 ) in the touch display panel, and the refresh rate of the target display area is different from the refresh rate of the display area outside the target area. For example, the area is an area for displaying a game picture in a frequency division scenario, and the area outside the target area displays instant messaging software.

[0053] After the target display region is determined, the driving unit is further configured to adjust the frequency of the scanning signals of the plurality of target driving electrodes according to the display refresh frequency of the target display region, so that the touch report rate of the target display region matches the display refresh frequency; wherein the plurality of target driving electrodes correspond to the target display region.

[0054] Still taking Figure 4 and Figure 5 as an example, the target display region in the touch display panel is a rectangular region composed of the a1-an rows of pixels and the b1-bm rows of pixels, and the display refresh rate of the region is different from that of other regions; and the plurality of target driving electrodes correspondingly are the fourth to seventh driving electrodes (also referred to as TX4-TX7 channels).

[0055] It should be noted that Figure 5 The 10 driving electrodes shown in the above

[0056] The technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application adjusts the driving signals of the touch scanning electrodes corresponding to the target display region with a variable display refresh rate, so that the touch report rate of the region matches the display refresh rate, thereby avoiding the problems of power waste and poor experience caused by excessively high or low report rates.

[0057] In some embodiments, the touch display panel further includes a display driving unit 431 connected with the plurality of sub-pixels in the pixel array 411, configured to drive the pixel array to emit light.

[0058] The touch driving unit 423 is further connected with the display driving unit 431, and the above-mentioned determination of the target display region in the touch display panel includes:

[0059] determining the display refresh frequency of the plurality of sub-pixels in the pixel array 411 according to the frequency of the display driving signals sent by the display driving unit, and determining the region in which the plurality of sub-pixels with different refresh frequencies in the pixel array 411 are located as the target display region according to the display refresh frequency of the plurality of sub-pixels.

[0060] In some embodiments, the touch driving unit 423 sends scanning signals to the plurality of driving electrodes 421, including a plurality of groups of scanning waveforms, each group of scanning waveforms including a plurality of single square waves, and the touch report rate of the touch display panel is the inverse of the time required by the touch driving unit to scan an entire frame of the touch screen, and the shorter the time, the higher the touch report rate. The time required by the touch driving unit to scan an entire frame of the touch screen is related to the number of single square waves, the cycle time of the single square wave, the number of driving electrodes in the touch screen, and the grouping of the driving electrodes.

[0061] Based on this, the adjusting of the frequency of the scan signal of the target driving electrode in the embodiments of the present application can be: adjusting the number of single square waves in each group of scan waveforms; and / or adjusting the cycle time of the single square wave in each group of scan waveforms.

[0062] It should be understood that the display refresh rate of the target display area being different from the display refresh rate of the area other than the target display area in the embodiments of the present application includes that the display refresh rate of the target display area is greater than the display refresh rate of the area other than the target display area, or the display refresh rate of the target display area is less than the display refresh rate of the area other than the target display area. In the above two cases, in order to match the report point rate with the display refresh rate, the adjusting of the frequency of the scan signal of the target driving electrode in the embodiments of the present application includes increasing and decreasing the frequency of the scan signal to increase or decrease the report point rate.

[0063] The adjustment of the scan signal will be illustrated in detail below taking the scheme of increasing the report point rate as an example. Figure 6 The waveforms of the scan signal are shown, which include scan signal A-scan signal D. Among them, scan signal A is the driving signal of the non-target driving electrode, and scan signal B-scan signal D are several implementation modes of the scan signal of the target driving electrode.

[0064] Figure 6 The plurality of waveforms in the above formula each include three groups of scan waveforms. Taking one group of scan waveforms as an example, the group of scan waveforms in waveform A includes four single square waves, and the cycle time of each single square wave is t1. The scan time of the group of scan waveforms is T1.

[0065] The mode of increasing the scan signal of the target driving electrode includes the following modes:

[0066] (1) The number of single square waves in each group of scan waveforms in the scan signal is reduced from four to three, and the cycle time of each single square wave remains unchanged, obtaining the scan signal B in the above formula. Figure 6 The scan time of each group of scan waveforms in the scan signal B is reduced from T1 to T2, so that the touch report point rate is increased.

[0067] (2) The number of single square waves in each group of scan waveforms remains unchanged, and the cycle time of the single square wave is reduced from t1 to t2, obtaining the scan signal C in the above formula. Figure 6 The scan time of each group of scan waveforms is reduced from T1 to T3, so that the touch report point rate is increased.

[0068] (3) The number of single square waves in each group of scan waveforms and the cycle time of the single square wave are reduced simultaneously, for example, the number of single square waves is reduced to three, and the cycle time thereof is reduced to t2, obtaining the scan signal D in the above formula. Figure 6The scan signal D in which the scan time of each group of waveforms is less than any one of the scan waveforms A-C.

[0069] It should be noted that the above only takes the improvement of the point reporting rate as an example to describe the scheme of the present application in detail. In the scheme of the embodiment of the present application, the scan time of each group of scan waveforms can also be increased by increasing the number of single square waves and / or increasing the cycle time of single square waves, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the point reporting rate.

[0070] In some embodiments, the adjustment of the scan frequency can be performed by means of the MUX switch and the frequency selector in the touch driving unit. Specifically, after the plurality of target driving electrodes are determined according to the target display area, the frequency of the scan signal is determined by the frequency selector, and the signal is input into the plurality of target driving electrodes by the MUX switch, so as to achieve the adjustment of the frequency of the scan signal.

[0071] In some embodiments, the aforementioned adjustment of the frequency of the scan signal of the plurality of target driving electrodes so as to match the touch point reporting rate of the target display area with the display refresh frequency comprises:

[0072] The frequency of the scan signal of the plurality of target driving electrodes is adjusted so that the touch point reporting rate of the target display area is twice or more than the display refresh rate of the target display area. For example, in the initial state, the touch display panel displays at a display refresh rate of 120 Hz, and at this time, the touch point reporting rate is set to 240 Hz; when the display refresh rate of the target area in the touch display panel is reduced to 20 Hz, according to the scheme of the present application, the touch point reporting rate of the area needs to be reduced to achieve the effect of reducing power consumption, and at this time, the touch point reporting rate of the area can be set to twice or more than the display refresh rate, i.e., set to 40 Hz or more, at this time, the requirement for touch can be met on the premise of reducing power consumption.

[0073] As mentioned above, the scan frequency of the plurality of target driving electrodes corresponding to the target display area is different from that of the driving electrodes of other areas, and at this time, the sensing signal in the sensing electrode is a mixed frequency sensing signal generated by the plurality of driving electrodes. In order to determine accurate sampling information, the mixed frequency sensing signal needs to be further processed.

[0074] In some embodiments, the touch driving unit further comprises a filter for separating the mixed frequency signal to obtain the sampling information of the target display area and the display area other than the target display area.

[0075] Specifically, as Figure 7As shown, when the touch operation occurs, the scanning signal with frequency F1 in the target display area and the signal with frequency F2 in the area outside the target display area pass through mutual capacitance MC coupling to generate corresponding induced signals. The induced signals are received and processed by the front-end analog amplifier AFE in the touch driving unit to become mixed-frequency induced signals. Then, the touch driving unit is internally provided with a filter NBF composed of specific capacitors and resistors. The filter NBF is a narrow-band filter that can pass the signal with the specific frequency component preset in the received signal, while greatly attenuating or suppressing signals with other frequency components. The filtering of the signal is the premise and basis of signal processing, and the main purpose of filtering is to filter out useless interference signals or signals irrelevant to the target signal, so as to obtain the required signal of the system.

[0076] The touch driving unit internally filters the received analog electrical signal (specific voltage amplitude / certain frequency) by passing the signal with the specific frequency through the filter NBF in the touch driving unit, so as to extract the part it wants from the received numerous signals, including the target signal and various noise signals NS. Then, it can identify that the corresponding induced signal comes from the target display area or other areas, and independently process the touch positioning of the target display area and / or the touch positioning of the area outside the target display area.

[0077] Generally, the analog signal obtained after the internal analog filtering of the touch driving unit is converted into a digital signal (for example, 10101 or 10111) by the analog-to-digital converter ADC, and then the digital signal is filtered by the digital filter DF to obtain the data required by the touch driving unit for calculating the touch coordinates.

[0078] The core of digital filtering is a digital signal processor (DSP), and the touch driving unit is internally provided with a DSP unit. Digital filtering is an algorithm or device composed of digital multipliers, adders and other units, which processes the input discrete digital signal code according to the pre-programmed program.

[0079] The above describes the device embodiments of the present application in detail. Figures 1-7 The method embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Figure 8 The method embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.

[0080] Figure 8is a schematic flowchart of a touch driving method provided by an embodiment of the present application.
