[0043] Embodiment 1
[0044] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display panel 10 includes a touch layer 100, an array substrate 200, a liquid crystal layer 300, and a counter substrate 400. The liquid crystal layer 300 is disposed between the array substrate 200 and the counter substrate 400, and the counter substrate 400 includes a color filter substrate. A plurality of scan lines 201, a plurality of data lines 202, and a plurality of photosensitive devices are disposed on one side of the array substrate 200 close to the liquid crystal layer 300. The photosensitive devices are thin film transistors 203, and the thin film transistors 203 correspond one by one to the intersections of the scan lines 201 and the data lines 202. The control terminal of the thin film transistor 203 is connected to the scan line 201 of the corresponding row, and the first terminal of the thin film transistor 203 is connected to the data line 202 of the corresponding column.
[0045] The touch control layer 100 is disposed on a side of the array substrate 200 away from the counter substrate 400. The touch control layer 100 includes a plurality of touch control parts 101, and the positions of the touch control parts 101 correspond to the positions of at least one thin film transistor 203. That is to say, one touch control part 101 can be correspondingly disposed above each thin film transistor 203, or one touch control part 101 can be correspondingly disposed above a plurality of thin film transistors 203. In touch and non-touch states, the light intensity of the light irradiated on the thin film transistor 203 through the touch control part 101 is different.
[0046] For example, a light source is disposed on a side of the touch control layer 100. When the touch control part 101 is not under a touch pressure, light undergoes total internal reflection within the touch control part 101, and no light irradiates the thin film transistor 203 corresponding to the touch control part 101. The touch control voltage of the current signal flowing into the data line 202 through the thin film transistor 203 is V1; when the touch control part 101 is under a touch pressure, the touch control part 101 undergoes elastic deformation, light refracts within the touch control part 101 and irradiates the thin film transistor 203, and the touch control voltage of the current signal flowing into the data line 202 through the thin film transistor 203 is V2. By detecting the change in the touch control voltage, the touched area of the display panel 10 can be detected, that is, the touch control function is realized.
[0047] The scan lines 201 of the display panel 10 are connected to the scan driving circuit 700, and the data lines 202 of the display panel 10 are connected to the data driving circuit 500. After the scan driving circuit 700 provides a scan driving signal on the corresponding scan line 201, all the transistors connected to the scan line 201 are switched to an on state, so that each pixel on this scan line 201 respectively receives a display signal (i.e., a data voltage) from its respective connected data line 202, and controls the deflection degree of the liquid crystal in different pixels according to the display signal, thereby realizing the display of a row of pixels. By controlling the transistors to be turned on row by row and writing the data voltage row by row, the display of a frame of picture can be realized.
[0048] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the data driving circuit 500 includes a data processing unit 510, a first buffer 520, a touch control signal acquisition unit 530, and a touch control signal processing unit 540. A plurality of first buffers 520 are connected to the data processing unit 510. The data processing unit 510 can output a data signal, and the first buffer 520 is used to convert the data signal into a data voltage and output it to the data line 202. The data signal is a digital signal, and the data voltage is an analog signal.
[0049] The touch signal acquisition unit 530 is connected to the first buffer 520 in a one-to-one correspondence. The touch signal acquisition unit 530 includes a second buffer 531 and a differential amplifier 532. The second buffer 531 is connected to the output terminal of the first buffer 520. The first input terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is connected to the output terminal of the first buffer 520. The second input terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is connected to the output terminal of the second buffer 531. The output terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is connected to the touch signal processing unit 540.
[0050] The touch signal processing unit 540 is used to output touch signals. The touch signal processing unit 540 at least includes a digital-to-analog conversion circuit. The output signal of the differential amplifier 532 is an analog signal, and the touch signal processing unit 540 can convert the analog signal into a digital signal. In addition, the touch signal processing unit 540 can also output touch position information according to the scanning time.
[0051] In the design of some liquid crystal displays, multiple touch detections are performed within the time period of displaying one frame of the picture. The touch detection will occupy the pixel charging time, and insufficient pixel charging may cause problems such as uneven brightness, ghosting, and reduced contrast, affecting the display effect of the liquid crystal display.
[0052] In this embodiment, the data driving circuit 500 includes a data processing unit 510, a first buffer 520, a touch signal acquisition unit 530, and a touch signal processing unit 540. Multiple first buffers 520 are connected to the data processing unit 510. The first buffer 520 is used to convert the data signal into a data voltage and output it to the data line 202. The touch signal acquisition unit 530 is connected to the first buffer 520 in a one-to-one correspondence. The touch signal acquisition unit 530 includes a second buffer 531 and a differential amplifier 532. The second buffer 531 is connected to the output terminal of the first buffer 520. The first input terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is connected to the output terminal of the first buffer 520. The second input terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is connected to the output terminal of the second buffer 531. The output terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is connected to the touch signal processing unit 540. The touch signal acquisition unit 530 is connected to the output terminal of the first buffer 520, that is, the touch signal acquisition unit 530 and the first buffer 520 are connected to the same data line 202. The touch signal acquisition unit 530 acquires touch signals during the gap when the first buffer 520 outputs the data voltage, which can avoid the touch detection from occupying the pixel charging time and improve the display effect of the display panel 10.
[0053] In some embodiments, the touch signal acquisition unit 530 further includes an isolation device 533. The isolation device 533 is connected to the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 532 and the output terminal of the first buffer 520. The connection from the output terminal of the first buffer 520 to the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is unidirectionally conductive through the isolation device 533.
[0054] An isolation device 533 is disposed between the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 532 and the output terminal of the first buffer 520, which can reduce or eliminate the influence of the differential amplifier 532 on the data voltage and improve the display effect of the display panel 10.
[0055] In some embodiments, the isolation device 533 includes a diode. The anode of the diode is connected to the output terminal of the first buffer 520, and the cathode of the diode is connected to the first input terminal of the differential amplifier 532. The isolation device 533 can be a diode, but is not limited thereto. The isolation device 533 can also use a field effect transistor, which can be determined according to the specific situation.
[0056] The isolation device 533 includes a diode. The diode has a simple structure and does not require voltage control, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the data driving circuit 500.
[0057] In some embodiments, the second buffer 531 includes an enable control terminal. The touch signal acquisition unit 530 further includes an enable controller 534, and the enable controller 534 is connected to the enable control terminal. When the enable controller 534 outputs a second control signal, the second buffer 531 forms a high impedance state with respect to the output terminal of the first buffer 520, that is, the second buffer 531 forms a high impedance state with respect to the data line 202. When the enable controller 534 outputs a first control signal, the touch voltage at the output terminal of the first buffer 520 can be written into the differential amplifier 532 through the second input terminal of the differential amplifier 532. The first control signal can be a high level signal, and the second control signal can be a low level signal. In addition, the differential amplifier 532 can also include an enable control terminal, and the enable control terminal of the differential amplifier 532 is also connected to the enable controller 534.
[0058] The enable controller 534 controls the first buffer 520 to form a high impedance state with respect to the data line 202, which can reduce or eliminate the influence of the first buffer 520 on the data voltage and improve the display effect of the display panel 10.
[0059] In some embodiments, the first buffer 520 includes a control output terminal 521. When the first buffer 520 outputs a data voltage, the control output terminal 521 outputs a first control signal; when the first buffer 520 stops outputting the data voltage, the control output terminal 521 outputs a second control signal. The first control signal is a high level signal, and the second control signal is a low level signal. The enable controller 534 includes an inverter, and the inverter is connected to the control output terminal 521 and the enable control terminal.
[0060] The enable controller 534 is connected to the control output terminal 521 and the enable control terminal. The enable controller 534 enables the first buffer 520 and the touch signal acquisition unit 530 to work in a time-sharing manner. That is, when the first buffer 520 outputs a data voltage, the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 form a high impedance state for the data line 202 to reduce or eliminate the influence of the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 on the data voltage. When the first buffer 520 stops outputting the data voltage, the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 acquire the touch signal.
[0061] In some embodiments, the enable controller 534 is connected to the enable control terminal and the data processing unit 510, and the data processing unit 510 controls the enable controller 534 to output a first control signal or a second control signal.
[0062] The enable controller 534 is directly controlled by a digital signal. While the data processing unit 510 controls the first buffer 520 to output a data voltage, it controls the enable controller 534 to output a low-level signal, so that the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 form a high impedance state for the data line 202. While the data processing unit 510 controls the first buffer 520 to stop outputting the data voltage, it controls the enable controller 534 to output a high-level signal, so that the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 acquire the touch signal for the data line 202.
[0063] The array substrate 200 includes N row scan lines 201 and M column data lines 202, where both N and M are integers greater than or equal to 2. The scan signal of the nth row scan line 201 is Gn, the scan signal of the (n + 1)th row scan line 201 is Gn+1, and the scan signal of the (n + 2)th row scan line 201 is Gn+2. The data voltage of the mth column data line 202 is Vdata, and the data voltage Vdata includes a positive-polarity data voltage and a negative-polarity data voltage. n + 2 is less than or equal to N, and m is less than or equal to M. The enable control terminal signal when scanning the nth row is enable(n), and the enable control terminal signal when scanning the (n + 1)th row is enable(n + 1).
[0064] See Figure 5 As shown, when the scan signal Gn of the nth row scan line 201 arrives, the output terminal of the first buffer 520 outputs the data voltage Vdata, and the enable control terminal signal enable(n) is a low-level signal. The second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 form a high impedance state for the data line 202 to reduce or eliminate the influence of the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 on the data voltage.
[0065] See Figure 6As shown, when the scan signal Gn of the n-th row scan line 201 arrives, the data voltage Vdata is output from the output terminal of the first buffer 520, and the enable control signal enable(n) is a low-level signal. The second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 form a high impedance state for the data line 202. After the pixel charging is completed, the enable control signal enable(n) is a high-level signal, and the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 collect the touch voltage. If there is no touch display panel 10, the touch voltage is V1;
[0066] When the scan signal Gn+1 of the (n + 1)-th row scan line 201 arrives, the data voltage Vdata is output from the output terminal of the first buffer 520, and the enable control signal enable(n + 1) is a low-level signal. The second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 form a high impedance state for the data line 202. After the pixel charging is completed, the enable control signal enable(n + 1) is a high-level signal, and the second buffer 531 and the differential amplifier 532 collect the touch voltage. If there is a touch on the touch display panel 10, the touch voltage is V2. By detecting the change of the touch voltage, the touched area of the display panel 10 can be detected, that is, the touch function is realized.

The touch signal acquisition unit 530 is connected to the output end of the first buffer 520, that is, the touch signal acquisition unit 530 and the first buffer 520 are connected to the same data line 202. The touch signal acquisition unit 530 acquires a touch signal during the interval when the first buffer 520 outputs a data voltage, which can avoid the touch detection from occupying the pixel charging time and improve the display effect of the display panel 10.

[0072] The display panel 10 includes an array substrate 200. On the side of the array substrate 200 close to the liquid crystal layer 300, there are multiple rows of scan lines 201, multiple columns of data lines 202, and multiple photosensitive devices. The photosensitive devices are thin film transistors 203. The scan lines 201, the data lines 202, and the photosensitive devices form a touch circuit.
