The driving device layer 102 is located on one side of the base substrate 101, and the driving device layer 102 includes a plurality of conductive layers. The multi-layer conductive layer includes a plurality of first connecting parts 1021 and a plurality of second connecting parts 1022. The first connecting parts 1021 and the second connecting parts 1022 are insulated from each other. For example, the first connecting part 1021 and the second connecting part 1022 are located in different conductive layers, or the first connecting part 1021 and the second connecting part 1022 are located in the same conductive layer and are spaced apart.
[0070] The light emitting device layer 103 is located on one side of the base substrate 101, for example, the light emitting device layer 103 is located on the side of the driving device layer 102 away from the base substrate 101. The light emitting device layer 103 includes an anode layer (anode) n1, a light emitting layer (EL) n2 and a cathode layer (cathode) n3. The anode layer n1, the light emitting layer n2 and the cathode layer n3 are used to form a plurality of light emitting units 1031, and the light emitting units 1031 are used to emit light. Optionally, the light emitting unit 1031 can be an organic light emitting diode (OLED).

[0073] In order to realize the electromagnetic touch (EMR) function, in addition to setting the first electromagnetic electrode and the second electromagnetic electrode in the touch display panel 100, it is also necessary to transmit an electromagnetic signal through an electromagnetic pen so that the electromagnetic pen interacts with the first electromagnetic electrode and the second electromagnetic electrode.

Thus, the first cathode pattern group n31 and the second cathode pattern group n32 can be used as different electromagnetic electrodes for electromagnetic touch control, thereby generating a magnetic field between the first cathode pattern group n31 and the second cathode pattern group n32 to realize the function of electromagnetic touch control. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the electromagnetic touch control can be integrated into the touch display panel 100, without the need for an external electromagnetic touch control, which is conducive to realizing the thinness and flexibility of the touch display panel 100. Furthermore, connecting the cathode layer and the connecting portion in the conductive layer can effectively reduce the resistance of the electromagnetic electrode and ensure the electromagnetic touch performance.

The same first cathode pattern n311 may serve as the cathode of some of the light-emitting units 1031 included in the touch display panel 100, that is, some of the light-emitting units 1031 may share the same first cathode pattern n311. The same second cathode pattern n321 may serve as the cathode of some of the light-emitting units 1031 included in the touch display panel 100, that is, some of the light-emitting units 1031 may share the same second cathode pattern n321.
[0101] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the anode layer n1 may further include a plurality of dummy patterns n12, and the dummy patterns n12 may be spaced apart from the anode pattern n11.

[0102] Optionally, a portion of the multiple dummy patterns n12 can be used as transition patterns connecting the first cathode pattern n311 and the first connecting portion 1021 , and another portion of the multiple dummy patterns n12 can be used as transition patterns connecting the second cathode pattern n321 and the second connecting portion 1022 .
[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of light emitting units 1031 may include a plurality of light emitting unit groups 1031Z. At least one light emitting unit group 1031Z includes at least one first light emitting unit 1031a, at least one second light emitting unit 1031b, and at least one third light emitting unit 1031c.

[0106] Optionally, the number of overlapping regions Q may be equal to the number of dummy patterns n12. Since the dummy pattern n12 is located in the anode layer n1 and is spaced apart from the anode pattern n11, the overlapping region Q is set between two adjacent light-emitting unit groups 1031Z to avoid mutual influence between the dummy pattern n12 in the overlapping region Q and the anode pattern n11 of the light-emitting unit 1031 in the light-emitting unit group 1031Z, thereby ensuring the respective functions of the dummy pattern n12 and the anode pattern n11.

Fig.10 The orthographic projection of the first cathode pattern n311 on the base substrate 101 covers the orthographic projection of the plurality of light emitting unit groups 1031Z on the base substrate 101, and covers the area between any adjacent light emitting units 1031 in the plurality of light emitting unit groups 1031Z.

[0108] That is, the number of cathode patterns is less than the number of light emitting unit groups 1031Z, avoiding the need to set too many signal transmission lines 104 to transmit touch signals for the cathode patterns, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing. Optionally, the design pitch of the cathode pattern can range from 4 mm to 5 mm.

That is, a corresponding number of connecting parts can be designed according to the design pitch of the light-emitting unit group 1031Z to connect adjacent cathode patterns.
[0110] Optionally, the plurality of light emitting unit groups 1031Z covered by each cathode pattern include m groups of light emitting unit groups 1031Z arranged along the first direction X, and include n groups of light emitting unit groups 1031Z arranged along the second direction Y. That is, the cathode pattern covers m×n light emitting unit groups 1031Z, and the m×n light emitting unit groups 1031Z are arranged in m rows and n columns.

[0112] The second cathode pattern group n32 includes a plurality of second cathode patterns n321 arranged along the first direction X, so the second connection portion 1022 connecting adjacent second cathode patterns n321 in the second cathode pattern group n32 may extend approximately along the first direction X. Optionally, the number of second connection portions 1022 and the number of light-emitting unit groups 1031Z covered by the second cathode pattern n321 may correspond to: any two adjacent second cathode patterns n321 in the second cathode pattern group n32 are connected by n second connection portions 1022 arranged along the second direction Y. For example Fig.12 Any two adjacent second cathode patterns n321 in the second cathode pattern group n32 are connected through four second connecting portions 1022 arranged along the second direction Y. Fig.12 The small white circle in represents the overlapping area Q of the second cathode pattern n321.
[0113] The first cathode pattern n311 includes a plurality of first cathode patterns n311 arranged along the second direction Y, so the first connection portion 1021 connecting adjacent first cathode patterns n311 in the first cathode pattern group n31 may extend approximately along the second direction Y. Optionally, the correspondence between the number of first connection portions 1021 and the number of light-emitting unit groups 1031Z covered by the first cathode pattern n311 may mean that any two adjacent first cathode patterns n311 in the first cathode pattern group n31 are connected by m first connection portions 1021 arranged along the first direction X. For example Fig.13 Any two adjacent first cathode patterns n311 in the first cathode pattern group n31 are connected through four first connecting portions 1021 arranged along the first direction X. Fig.13 The small black circle in represents the overlapping area Q of the first cathode pattern n311.
[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure the uniformity and reliability of the signal transmission line 104 for the cathode pattern group, the design of the signal transmission line 104 can correspond to the number of light-emitting unit groups 1031Z covered by the cathode pattern.

The first ends a11 of the m first sub-signal transmission lines 104a1 are connected, and the second ends a12 of the m first sub-signal transmission lines 104a1 are connected to different regions of a first cathode pattern n311 in the first cathode pattern group n31. That is, the first ends a11 of the m first sub-signal transmission lines 104a1 can be connected as a whole. Fig.14 Take m equal to 2 as an example.

[0120] Optionally, the etching rate of the material of the first isolation part n51 and the material of the third isolation part n53 may be lower than the etching rate of the material of the second isolation part n52. Therefore, in the process of forming the isolation column n5, due to the difference in etching rate, the second isolation part n52 may be retracted relative to the third isolation part n53 and the first isolation part n51, thereby obtaining an undercut isolation column n5, which is convenient for isolation during the preparation of the cathode layer n3.
[0121] For example, the material of the first isolation portion n51 and the material of the third isolation portion n53 may be SiNx (silicon nitride), and the material of the second isolation portion n52 may be silicon oxide (SiO).
[0122] Optionally, the height of the isolation column n5 may be greater than or equal to 0.5 μm (micrometer), and the thickness of the cathode layer n3 may be approximately Therefore, it can be ensured that the isolation column n5 can isolate the cathode layer n3.

[0124] Optionally, the light emitting device layer 103 may not include the isolation column n5, and the multiple cathode patterns may be obtained by laser cutting or OTI process. The OTI process may refer to the preparation of multiple cathode patterns based on the mutual exclusion of the cathode material of the cathode pattern and the cathode patterning material (CPM). The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the preparation method of the multiple cathode patterns included in the cathode layer n3.
