[0074] Although exemplary embodiments of a touch control module and a display device including the touch control module have been particularly described in the text, many modifications and variations will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, it will be understood that the touch control module and the display device constituted according to the principles of the present invention can be implemented other than as particularly described in the text. This application is also limited to the claims and their equivalents.
[0075] As described in the background art, in the prior art, a display device with a touch control function has a relatively large film layer thickness compared to a display device with only a display function, increasing the overall thickness of the display device and being unfavorable for the trend of the thin design of the display device.
[0076] In the prior art, a general capacitive touch screen structure is a combination structure of glass + glass or glass + sensing film. The touch screen products of this kind of structure are too thick. When such a touch screen is used in a display device, combined with the cover glass of the display device as a protective layer, the overall thickness of the display device will be too large, the display transparency will be reduced, the touch sensitivity will be reduced, and its production process is relatively complex and the production cost is relatively high. In the wave of the rapid development of touch control technology, such products can no longer meet the current design requirements for the thinness of display devices with touch control functions and the requirements for simplified preparation processes of preparation processes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a touch control module with a smaller thickness and a smaller number of film layers to improve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0077] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a touch control module provided by an embodiment of this application Figure 2 Provided by an embodiment of this application Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of AA' in Figure 1 and Figure 2 Referring to, this application provides a touch control module 100. Along the thickness direction of the touch control module 100, the touch control module 100 includes a first touch control component 20 and a second touch control component 30 which are stacked;
[0078] The first touch control component 20 at least includes a transparent cover plate 21, a first metal layer 22 and a first touch control layer 23; wherein, the first metal layer 22 is prepared on one side surface of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch control module 100; the first touch control layer 23 is prepared on the side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21;
[0079] The second touch control component 30 at least includes a second touch control layer 31, and the second touch control component 30 is bonded to the side of the first touch control layer 23 away from the first metal layer 22;
[0080] The first touch control layer 23 and the second touch control layer 31 are used to realize the touch control function of the touch control module 100.
[0081] Specifically, the present application provides a touch control module 100. The touch control module 100 includes a first touch component 20 and a second touch component 30. Along the thickness direction of the touch control module 100, the first touch component 20 and the second touch component 30 are stacked. In order to ensure the good touch function of the touch control module 100, the touch control module 100 provided in the present application includes two relatively arranged touch layer structures. Among them, the first touch component 20 includes a first touch layer 23, and the second touch component 30 includes a second touch layer 31.
[0082] Specifically, for the first touch component 20 and the second touch component 30, an optional implementation provided in the present application is that the first touch component 20 includes a transparent cover plate 21. The transparent cover plate 21 is specifically the cover plate (protective cover plate) of the display device including the touch control module 100, that is, the cover plate of the display device is reused as the film layer structure of the first touch component 20 in the present application, and is specifically reused as the transparent cover plate 21; further, the first touch component 20 further includes a first metal layer 22 and a first touch layer 23 on the side of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch control module 100. Among them, the first metal layer 22 is directly prepared on the surface of the side of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch control module 100, and the first touch layer 23 is prepared on the side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21; it can be seen that in the first touch component 20 provided in the present application, the first touch layer 23 can directly use the transparent cover plate 21 and the first metal layer 22 as its preparation substrate, without separately setting a preparation substrate for the first touch layer 23, which is beneficial to reducing the number of film layer structures in the touch control module 100, and reusing the transparent cover plate 21 and the first metal layer 22 as the preparation substrate of the first touch layer 23, compared with separately setting a preparation substrate for the first touch layer 23, also reduces the overall film layer thickness of the touch control module 100, which is beneficial to the thin design trend of the display device including the touch control module 100.
[0083] In addition, in the first touch component 20 provided in the present application, a first metal layer 22 is provided on the surface of the side of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch control module 100. The setting of the first metal layer 22 can increase the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, and avoid the situation of coating peeling after the first touch layer 23 is directly made on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21. The setting of the first metal layer 22 between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 improves the bonding stability between the film layer structures of the first touch component 20, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the touch control module 100, and further beneficial to improving the preparation yield and service life of the display device including the touch control module 100.
[0084] Based on the above settings of the first touch component 20 in the touch module 100, the second touch component 30 is arranged on the side of the first touch component 20 away from the touch surface of the touch module 100. Further, the second touch layer 31 in the second touch component 30 can be adhesively bonded to the side of the first touch layer 23 in the first touch component 20 away from the first metal layer 22. For the adhesion between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31, an optical adhesive layer 40 with good light transmittance can be selected. For example, OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive, optical transparent adhesive film material) can be used to achieve the adhesive fixation between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31. And the OCA is located between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31, which is also beneficial to achieve the insulation between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31, thus being conducive to ensuring the good touch function of the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31 for the touch module 100.
[0085] That is, the touch module 100 provided in this application, along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, at least includes a transparent cover plate 21, a first metal layer 22, a first touch layer 23, an OCA optical adhesive layer 40, and a second touch layer 31 that are sequentially stacked. The first metal layer 22 is arranged between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to improve the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23. However, this is only an optional setting method provided in this application, and this application is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible to directly prepare the first touch layer 23 on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch module 100, so as to further streamline the first metal layer 22, which is beneficial to further reduce the overall thickness of the touch module 100 and further reduce the manufacturing process flow of the touch module 100.
[0086] Furthermore, this application does not limit whether other film layer structures are further arranged between the first touch layer 23 and the OCA optical adhesive layer 40. Other film layer structures can be arranged between the first touch layer 23 and the OCA optical adhesive layer 40 according to requirements, so as to ensure the required display function while ensuring the good touch function of the display device including the touch module 100.
[0087] It should also be supplemented that this application does not limit the preparation material of the first metal layer 22 arranged between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, as long as the setting of the first metal layer 22 can improve the bonding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23.
[0088] It should be noted that the first metal layer 22 is provided between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to enhance the bonding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23. This is only an optional implementation based on existing materials. With the development of technology, if there are other materials that can achieve the effect of improving the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, a film layer made of other materials can also be selected and disposed between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to enhance the bonding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23. In addition, with the development of technology, if there is a material for making the first touch layer 23 that can be used as a touch layer and has good bonding force with the transparent cover plate 21, this material can also be used to directly prepare a touch layer on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 on the side away from the touch module 100 to form the first touch component 20.
[0089] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an exemplary embodiment, the first metal layer 22 is a metal silicon layer.
[0090] Specifically, a material that can be selected for preparing the first metal layer 22 in this application is metal silicon, that is, the first metal layer 22 is specifically a metal silicon layer; since the transparent cover plate 21 of the display device usually uses a glass cover plate, that is, the material for preparing the transparent cover plate 21 of the first touch component 20 is generally glass, the chemical bond and intermolecular force between metal silicon and glass have a stronger bonding force, and there is also good bonding force between metal silicon and the materials currently used in the display field for making touch layers. It can be seen that setting a metal silicon layer between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 is beneficial to improving the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, so as to improve the assembly structure stability of the first touch component 20, and is beneficial to reducing or eliminating the situation of fracture and fragmentation of the touch module 100, thereby improving the service life of the display device including the touch module 100.
[0091] In addition, the price of metal silicon is relatively cheap, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the touch module 100; metal silicon has good stability, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and service life of the touch module 100; metal silicon has a light weight, which is beneficial to ensuring that the touch module 100 has a light weight; furthermore, using a metal silicon layer as the first metal layer 22 in the first touch component 20 is beneficial to ensuring that the display device containing the touch module 100 has a low manufacturing cost, good reliability and service life, and a light weight.
[0092] It should be added that in the embodiments provided by the present application, a metal silicon layer is provided between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to avoid the problem of coating peeling that easily occurs when the first touch layer 23 is directly prepared on the surface of the glass material transparent cover plate 21. With the development of technology, if there are other materials that can achieve the effect of improving the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, a film layer made of other materials can also be selected and arranged between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to improve the bonding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23.
[0093] Figure 3 For the Figure 1 another cross-sectional schematic diagram of AA' in the embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in an exemplary embodiment, the second touch component 30 further includes:
[0094] a transparent substrate 32, located on the side of the second touch layer 31 away from the transparent cover plate 21;
[0095] a second metal layer 33, located between the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch layer 31.
[0096] Specifically, the present application also provides an alternative embodiment. In addition to the second touch layer 31 in the second touch component 30, it further includes a transparent substrate 32 and a second metal layer 33. Along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the second touch layer 31, the second metal layer 33, and the transparent substrate 32 are sequentially stacked, that is, the transparent substrate 32 is located on the side of the second touch layer 31 away from the transparent cover plate 21, and the second metal layer 33 is located between the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch layer 31. Here, the second metal layer 33 can specifically be a metal silicon layer. By providing a metal silicon layer between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32, it is beneficial to improve the bonding force between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32, avoid the problem of coating peeling when the second touch layer 31 is directly prepared on the surface of the transparent substrate 32, thereby being beneficial to improving the assembly structure stability of the second touch component 30, being beneficial to reducing or eliminating the situation of fracture or fragmentation of the touch module 100, and thus being able to improve the service life of the display device including the touch module 100.
[0097] It should be added that with the development of technology, if there are other materials that can achieve the effect of improving the bonding force between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32, a film layer made of other materials can also be selected and arranged between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32.
[0098] It should also be supplemented that the present application does not specifically limit whether there are other film layer structures between the second metal layer 33 of the transparent substrate 32 and between the second metal layer 33 and the second touch layer 31. Other film layer structures can be provided between the second metal layer 33 of the transparent substrate 32 and / or between the second metal layer 33 and the second touch layer 31 according to requirements, so as to ensure good touch function and display function of the display device including the touch module 100.
[0099] It should also be supplemented that the present application does not specifically limit the preparation material of the transparent substrate 32. For example, PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) can be selected to make the transparent substrate 32. PET has good light transmittance, good flexibility and stability, which can not only ensure the structural stability of the second touch component 30, but also ensure the light transmittance and service life of the second touch component 30. In addition, when PET is used as the preparation substrate of the second touch layer 31, the PET transparent substrate 32 can be made very thin, which is beneficial to reducing the overall thickness of the touch module 100, and thus beneficial to the thin design of the display device including the touch module 100.
[0100] It should also be supplemented that in the embodiment provided by the present application, a second metal layer 33 (metal silicon layer) is provided between the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch layer 31 to enhance the bonding force between the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch layer 31. This is just an optional setting method provided by the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the second touch layer 31 can also be directly prepared on the surface of the transparent substrate 32 on the touch surface side facing the touch module 100, so as to further streamline the film layer of the second metal layer 33, which is beneficial to further reducing the overall thickness of the touch module 100 and further reducing the preparation process flow of the touch module 100. That is, with the development of technology, if there is a material that can be used as a touch layer and has good bonding force with the transparent substrate 32, this material can be used to directly prepare the touch layer on the surface of the transparent substrate 32 on the touch surface side facing the touch module 100.
[0101] It should also be supplemented that the first metal layer 22 and the second metal layer 33 provided in the touch module 100 of the present application are specifically selected as metal silicon layers. Along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the thickness of the metal silicon layer can be selected to be about 2nm, which is very thin and will not affect the light transmittance of the display device including the touch module 100, nor will it cause the problem that the first touch layer 23 and / or the second touch layer 31 are visible. The setting of the metal silicon layer not only increases the structural stability of the touch module 100, but also ensures good display effect of the related display device.
[0102] Among them, along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the preparation thickness of the metal silicon layer can be selected between 1 nm and 30 nm. For example, besides the aforementioned 2 nm, for example, the thickness can also be selected to be 5 nm, 12 nm, 18 nm, etc. A metal silicon layer with a thickness less than 1 nm requires very high preparation accuracy, which will greatly increase the preparation cost of the touch module 100. A metal silicon layer with a thickness greater than 30 nm will cause a significant increase in the overall thickness of the touch module 100, which is not conducive to the trend of the thin design of related display devices. Therefore, in this application, the preparation thickness of the metal silicon layer is selected between 1 nm and 30 nm, which can not only reduce the preparation cost of the touch module 100, but also ensure the thin design of related display devices, and can also improve the bonding force and stability between at least some layers of the touch module 100.
[0103] It should also be added that this application does not specifically limit whether the transparent substrate 32 and the transparent cover plate 21 are rigid substrates or flexible substrates, and the transparent substrate 32 and the transparent cover plate 21 can be selected as rigid substrates or flexible substrates according to design requirements. Among them, the rigid substrate can be selected from glass and silicon wafers, and the flexible substrate can be selected from PET (Polyethyleneterephthalate), PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate), and PC (Polycarbonate).
[0104] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in an exemplary embodiment, the second touch component 30 further includes:
[0105] A first anti-ghosting layer 34, located between the transparent substrate 32 and the second metal layer 33;
[0106] An underlayer 35, located between the first anti-ghosting layer 34 and the second metal layer 33;
[0107] A first silver paste layer 36, located on the surface of the second touch layer 31 close to the first touch layer 23.
[0108] Specifically, an alternative embodiment provided by the present application is that, on the basis of including a transparent substrate 32, a second metal layer 33, and a second touch layer 31, the second touch component 30 may further include a first anti-reflection layer 34 and an underlayer 35. Among them, the first anti-reflection layer 34 is disposed between the transparent substrate 32 and the second metal layer 33, and the underlayer 35 is disposed between the first anti-reflection layer 34 and the second metal layer 33; the anti-reflection film (the first anti-reflection layer 34) is beneficial to increasing the light transmittance of the second touch component 30 and reducing the reflectance, so that the display device including the touch module 100 has a better visual effect; the underlayer 35 can be specifically prepared as a silicon dioxide layer, so that the underlayer 35 has the characteristics of stable dielectric property and good moisture resistance, which is beneficial to improving the service life and yield of the touch module 100.
[0109] It should be added that the proposed setting of the first anti-reflection layer 34 and the underlayer 35 between the transparent substrate 32 and the second metal layer 33 of the second touch component 30 is only an alternative embodiment provided by the present application, but the present application is not limited thereto. Other film layer structures can also be selected between the transparent substrate 32 and the second metal layer 33, or on the basis of including the first anti-reflection layer 34 and / or the underlayer 35, other film layer structures can be further set, as long as the good touch function of the touch module 100 and the good display function of the display device including the touch module 100 can be ensured.
[0110] The second touch component 30 may further include a first silver paste layer 36. Among them, the first silver paste layer 36 can be disposed on the surface of the second touch layer 31 close to the first touch layer 23, and the first silver paste layer 36 is disposed in the edge area (non-touch area) of the touch module 100, that is, the first silver paste layer 36 can be disposed in the non-display area of the display device including the touch module 100. The first silver paste layer 36 can be used to form a conductive Pad (liner) corresponding to the touch trace of the touch layer, so as to realize the conduction of the conductive line through the silver paste.
[0111] It should also be added that the preparation materials of the first anti-reflection layer 34 can be selected from silicon dioxide, zirconia, and titanium oxide.
[0112] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in an exemplary embodiment, the first touch component 20 further includes:
[0113] A second anti-reflection layer 24, located between the first metal layer 22 and the first touch layer 23.
[0114] Specifically, an alternative embodiment provided by the present application is that, on the basis of the first touch component 20 being provided with a transparent cover plate 21, a first metal layer 22, and a first touch layer 23, a second anti-reflection layer 24 may be further provided between the first metal layer 22 and the first touch layer 23. The second anti-reflection layer 24 is beneficial to increasing the light transmittance of the first touch component 20 and reducing the reflectance, so that the display device including the touch module 100 has a better visual effect; at the same time, the anti-reflection film (the second anti-reflection layer 24) is also beneficial to reducing the visual contrast between the area where the touch traces or touch electrodes are provided in the touch module 100 and the vacant area between the touch traces or touch electrodes, thereby being beneficial to improving the display effect of the display device including the touch module 100 and the appearance consistency when in the non-display state.
[0115] It should also be supplemented that the preparation material of the second anti-reflection layer 24 can be selected from silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, niobium oxide, and titanium oxide; that is, the production material of the second anti-reflection layer 24 and the production material of the first anti-reflection layer 34 may not be exactly the same.
[0116] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , in an exemplary embodiment, the touch module 100 includes a touch area 10 and a non-touch area 11 that at least partially surrounds the touch area 10;
[0117] At least the non-touch area 11 further includes:
[0118] An ink layer 25, located between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch component 30;
[0119] A carbon paste layer 26, located on the surface of the ink layer 25 facing the second touch component 30;
[0120] A second silver paste layer 27, located on the surface of the carbon paste layer 26 facing the second touch component 30.
[0121] Specifically, the touch module 100 provided by the present application includes a touch area 10 and a non-touch area 11 surrounding the touch area 10. Among them, the touch module 100 at least further includes an ink layer 25, a carbon paste layer 26, and a second silver paste layer 27 provided in the non-touch area 11. Among them, the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26, and the second silver paste layer 27 can be used to cover the entire non-touch area 11, which is beneficial to the color uniformity of the non-display area of the display device corresponding to the touch module 100, improves the aesthetics of the display device, and at the same time is also beneficial to avoiding the problem of light leakage in the non-display area of the display device and improving the display effect of the display device. In addition, at least the second silver paste layer 27 can be used to prepare the conductive Pad (liner) corresponding to the touch traces in the first touch layer 23 to realize the conduction of the conductive line through the silver paste.
[0122] It should be added that the setting of the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26, and the second silver paste layer 27 in the non-touch area 11 on the surface of the first touch layer 23 facing the second touch layer 31 is only an optional implementation manner provided by this application. Any one of the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26, and the second silver paste layer 27, or a combination of any two of them, can also be set in the non-touch area 11 according to requirements. This application does not make specific limitations on this.
[0123] It can be seen that the touch module 100 provided by this application can include, along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, a transparent cover plate 21, a first metal layer 22, a second anti-reflection layer 24, a first touch layer 23, an ink layer 25, a carbon paste layer 26, a second silver paste layer 27, an OCA layer, a first silver paste layer 36, a second touch layer 31, a second metal layer 33, a primer layer 35, a first anti-reflection layer 34, and a transparent substrate 32 that are sequentially stacked. Among them, the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26, the second silver paste layer 27, and the first silver paste layer 36 can be only set in the non-touch area 11. Any one of the remaining film layer structures can be set in the touch area 10, or set in the touch area 10 and at least part of the non-touch area 11 according to requirements. This application does not make specific limitations on this, as long as it can ensure the good touch function and good display function of the display module including the touch module 100.
[0124] Compared with the traditional touch module 100, the touch module 100 provided by this application has at least one less base film and OCA layer, making the touch module 100 more price-competitive, and making the film layer lamination process of the touch module 100 simpler and the overall yield level better. Moreover, the touch module 100 provided by this application has better flexibility, and the yield performance such as fracture defects is better, because the Sensor (the first touch layer 23) on the Glass will not be fractured due to the deformation of the substrate. In addition, for the touch module 100 provided by this application, problems such as Ag (silver) migration will also be greatly reduced.
[0125] The touch module 100 provided in the present application is configured such that the touch module 100 includes a first touch component 20 and a second touch component 30 which are stacked. Specifically, the first touch component 20 includes a first metal layer 22 directly formed on one surface of the transparent cover plate 21, and a first touch layer 23 formed on the side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21. The second touch layer 31 in the second touch component 30 is bonded to the side of the first touch layer 23 away from the first metal layer 22. It can be seen that by arranging the first touch layer 23 on the side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21, that is, using the transparent cover plate 21 and the first metal layer 22 on its surface as the preparation substrate for the first touch layer 23, it is possible to avoid separately providing a preparation substrate for the first touch layer 23, reduce the setting of at least one film layer, thereby facilitating the reduction of the overall thickness of the touch module 100, meeting the thin design requirements of the display device corresponding to the touch module 100, and at the same time simplifying the preparation process flow of the touch module 100.
[0126] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a display device provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 Provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 4 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of BB' in Figures 1 - 3 Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides a display device 200. The display device 200 includes a touch module 100, and the touch module 100 is any one of the touch modules 100 provided by the present application.
[0127] It further includes a display panel 300, and the touch module 100 is located on the light-emitting surface side of the display panel 300.
[0128] Specifically, the display device 200 includes a display panel 300 and a touch module 100 located on the light-emitting surface side of the display panel 300. The transparent cover plate 21 in the first touch component 20 of the touch module 100 serves as the protective cover plate in the display device 200, eliminating the need to provide an additional protective cover plate on the surface of the touch module 100 away from the display panel 300. That is, the transparent cover plate 21 provided by the present application can be used both as the protective cover plate of the display device 200 and as the preparation substrate for the first touch layer 23, thereby reducing the number of film layer structures in the display device 200, facilitating the thin design trend of the display device 200, and also simplifying the preparation process flow of the display device 200. In addition, it reduces the fingerprint distance, which is beneficial to improving the touch sensitivity of the display device 200, and also reduces the distance between the display panel 300 and the light-emitting surface of the display device 200, thus facilitating the improvement of the light transmission effect of the display device 200 to enhance the display effect of the display device 200. In this way, it is beneficial to further improve the user experience.
[0129] It should be noted that for the embodiments of the display device 200 provided in the embodiments of the present application, reference may be made to the embodiments of the touch control module 100 described above, and repeated descriptions will not be elaborated here. The display device 200 provided in the present application may be: a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a touch controller, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, a wearable device, an Internet of Things device, or any product and component having display and touch control functions. The embodiments disclosed in the present application are not limited thereto.
[0130] Figure 6 The following is a preparation flowchart of a touch control module provided for an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 . Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides a preparation method for a touch control module 100, including steps 101-step 105, where:
[0131] Step 101: Provide a transparent cover plate 21;
[0132] Step 102: Prepare a first metal layer 22 on one side surface of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch control module 100;
[0133] Step 103: Prepare a first touch layer 23 on one side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21 to obtain a first touch component 20; wherein, the first touch component 20 includes a transparent cover plate 21, a first metal layer 22, and a first touch layer 23;
[0134] Step 104: Provide a second touch component 30 including at least a second touch layer 31;
[0135] Step 105: Bond the second touch component 30 to one side of the first touch layer 23 away from the first metal layer 22;
[0136] Among them, the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31 are used to implement the touch control function of the touch control module 100.
[0137] Specifically, the present application further provides a preparation method for a touch control module 100, including performing step 101 to provide a transparent cover plate 21, and the transparent cover plate 21 may specifically be the cover plate (protective cover plate) of the display device 200 including the touch control module 100, that is, reusing the cover plate of the display device 200 as the film layer structure of the first touch component 20 in the present application.
[0138] Step 102 is performed to prepare a first metal layer 22 on a surface of the transparent cover plate 21 provided in step 101, which is away from the touch surface of the touch module 100. Then, step 103 is performed to prepare a first touch layer 23 on a side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21, so as to obtain a first touch component 20 including the transparent cover plate 21, the first metal layer 22, and the first touch layer 23 through steps 101-step 103.
[0139] It can be seen that in the preparation of the first touch component 20 in the touch module 100 provided in this application, the first touch layer 23 can directly use the transparent cover plate 21 and the first metal layer 22 as its preparation substrate, without separately setting a preparation substrate for the first touch layer 23, which is beneficial to reducing the number of film layer structures in the touch module 100. Moreover, reusing the transparent cover plate 21 and the first metal layer 22 as the preparation substrate of the first touch layer 23 simplifies the preparation process of the touch module 100 compared with separately setting a preparation substrate for the first touch layer 23, and also reduces the overall film layer thickness of the touch module 100, which is beneficial to the thinning design trend of the display device 200 including the touch module 100.
[0140] In addition, in the first touch component 20 provided in this application, the first metal layer 22 is prepared on a surface of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch module 100. The setting of the first metal layer 22 can increase the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, and avoid the situation of coating peeling after the first touch layer 23 is manufactured. The setting of the first metal layer 22 between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 improves the bonding stability between the film layer structures of the first touch component 20, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the touch module 100, and further beneficial to improving the preparation yield and service life of the display device 200 including the touch module 100.
[0141] The preparation method of the touch module 100 further includes step 104. Step 104 can be performed after step 103, or before step 101, or between any two of steps 101-step 103. This application does not make specific limitations on this; step 104 is performed to provide a second touch component 30 including at least a second touch layer 31. Then, step 105 is performed after steps 103 and 104 to bond the second touch component 30 to a side of the first touch layer 23 away from the first metal layer 22, so as to complete the assembly of the touch module 100 including the first touch component 20 and the second touch component 30.
[0142] Among them, the second touch layer 31 in the second touch component 30 can be set to adhere to the side of the first touch layer 23 in the first touch component 20 away from the first metal layer 22. For the adhesion between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31, an optical adhesive layer 40 with good light transmittance can be selected. For example, OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive, optical transparent adhesive film material) can be used to achieve the adhesion and fixation between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31, and the OCA is located between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31, which is also beneficial to achieving the insulation between the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31, thereby being beneficial to ensuring the good touch function of the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31 for realizing the touch module 100.
[0143] That is, the touch module 100 provided by the present application, in the thickness direction of the touch module 100, at least includes a transparent cover plate 21, a first metal layer 22, a first touch layer 23, an OCA optical adhesive layer 40, and a second touch layer 31 that are sequentially stacked. The first metal layer 22 is provided between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to improve the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23; however, this is only an optional setting method provided by the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the first touch layer 23 can also be directly prepared on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 on the side away from the touch surface of the touch module 100, so as to further streamline the preparation of the first metal layer 22, which is beneficial to further reducing the overall thickness of the touch module 100 and further reducing the preparation process flow of the touch module 100.
[0144] Among them, an optional implementation manner provided by the present application is that in the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the thickness range of the first touch layer 23 selected for plating is 1nm - 60nm. For example, the thickness of the first touch layer 23 can be selected to be 20nm, 30nm, 50nm, etc.; the preparation of the first touch layer 23 less than 1nm requires a high-precision preparation process, which will increase the preparation cost of the touch module 100. If the first touch layer 23 is prepared to be greater than 60nm, it will significantly increase the thickness of the touch module 100, which is not conducive to the thin design requirements of the display device 200 including the touch module 100 at present. Therefore, selecting the preparation thickness of the first touch layer 23 between 1nm and 60nm is beneficial to ensuring that the touch module 100 has a small production cost and can ensure the thinness of the relevant display device 200.
[0145] Furthermore, the present application does not limit whether other film layer structures are further provided between the first touch layer 23 and the OCA optical adhesive layer 40. Other film layer structures can be provided between the first touch layer 23 and the OCA optical adhesive layer 40 according to requirements, so as to ensure the required display function on the basis of ensuring the good touch function of the display device 200 including the touch module 100.
[0146] It should also be supplemented that the present application does not limit the preparation material of the first metal layer 22 disposed between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, as long as the setting of the first metal layer 22 can improve the bonding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23.
[0147] It should be noted that setting the first metal layer 22 between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to increase the bonding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 is only an optional implementation manner based on existing materials. With the development of technology, if there are other materials that can achieve the effect of improving the bonding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, a film layer made of other materials can also be selected and disposed between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to improve the bonding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23. In addition, with the development of technology, if there is a material for making the first touch layer 23 that can be used as a touch layer and has a good bonding force with the transparent cover plate 21, this material can also be used to directly prepare a touch layer on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 on the side away from the touch module 100 to form the first touch component 20.
[0148] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figures 4 - 6 , in an exemplary embodiment, for the above-mentioned step 102 of preparing the first metal layer 22 on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 on the side away from the touch module 100, the specific implementation can be:
[0149] Prepare a metal silicon layer on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 on the side away from the touch module 100.
[0150] Specifically, for the content of preparing the first metal layer 22 on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 on the side away from the touch module 100 in step 102, the specific implementation can be to prepare a metal silicon layer on the surface of the transparent cover plate 21 on the side away from the touch module 100; that is, the optional preparation material of the first metal layer 22 is metal silicon.
[0151] Since the transparent cover plate 21 of the display device usually uses a glass cover plate, that is, the preparation material of the transparent cover plate 21 of the first touch component 20 is generally glass. The chemical bond and intermolecular force between metal silicon and glass have a stronger binding force, and there is also a good binding force between metal silicon and the materials currently used in the display field to make the touch layer. It can be seen that setting a metal silicon layer between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 is beneficial to improving the binding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, so as to improve the assembly structure stability of the first touch component 20, and is beneficial to reducing or eliminating the situation of fracture and fragmentation of the touch module 100, thereby improving the service life of the display device 200 including the touch module 100.
[0152] In addition, the price of metal silicon is relatively cheap, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the touch module 100; metal silicon has good stability, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and service life of the touch module 100; metal silicon has a light weight, which is beneficial to ensuring that the touch module 100 has a light weight; furthermore, using the metal silicon layer as the first metal layer 22 in the first touch component 20 is beneficial to ensuring that the display device 200 containing the touch module 100 has a low manufacturing cost, good reliability and service life, and a light weight.
[0153] It should be added that in the embodiment provided in this application, setting a metal silicon layer between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 is to avoid the problem of coating peeling that easily occurs when the first touch layer 23 is directly prepared on the surface of the glass - material transparent cover plate 21; with the development of technology, if there are other materials that can achieve the effect of improving the binding force between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23, a film layer made of other materials can also be selected and set between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23 to improve the binding effect between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23.
[0154] Among them, along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the preparation thickness of the first metal layer 22 (metal silicon) can be selected between 1nm and 30nm. For example, the thickness can also be selected to be 2nm, 5nm, 12nm, 18nm, etc. A metal silicon layer with a thickness less than 1nm requires very high preparation precision, which will greatly increase the manufacturing cost of the touch module 100. A metal silicon layer with a thickness greater than 30nm will cause a significant increase in the overall thickness of the touch module 100, which is not conducive to the thin - type design trend of the relevant display device 200. Therefore, in this application, the preparation thickness of the metal silicon layer is selected between 1nm and 30nm, which can not only reduce the manufacturing cost of the touch module 100, but also ensure the thin - type design of the relevant display device 200, and can also improve the binding force and stability between at least some film layers of the touch module 100.
[0155] Figure 7Another preparation flowchart of the touch module provided by the embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that Figure 7 "Preparing the second touch layer on the side of the second metal layer facing the touch surface of the touch module" shown in step 107 corresponds to "Step 107, preparing the second touch layer 31 on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100" in the following content. Since Figure 7 shows the preparation process of all the film layers of a touch module, therefore Figure 7 the wording in some processes in Figure 7 has been adjusted compared to the description in the following text content to make Figure 7 the process steps in
[0156] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 3 - 5 Refer to Figure 7 . In an exemplary embodiment, before performing step 104 to provide the second touch component 30 including at least the second touch layer 31, steps 106 and 107 are further included, where:
[0157] Step 106, providing the transparent substrate 32;
[0158] Step 107, preparing the second touch layer 31 on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 to obtain the second touch component 30.
[0159] Specifically, the present application provides a method for preparing the second touch component 30. Specifically, before performing step 104 to provide the second touch component 30 including at least the second touch layer 31, the steps for preparing the second touch component 30 should be included, specifically at least steps 106 and 107. Among them, step 106 is used to provide the transparent substrate 32 as the preparation substrate for the second touch layer 31, and then step 107 is performed to prepare the second touch layer 31 on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 to achieve the preparation of the second touch component 30.
[0160] Among them, an optional implementation manner provided by the present application is that, along the thickness direction of the touch control module 100, the thickness range of the second touch control layer 31 is selected to be 5 nm - 100 nm. For example, the thickness of the second touch control layer 31 can be selected to be 30 nm, 50 nm, etc.; the preparation of the second touch control layer 31 with a thickness less than 5 nm requires a high-precision preparation process, which will increase the preparation cost of the touch control module 100. If the second touch control layer 31 is prepared with a thickness greater than 100 nm, it will significantly increase the thickness of the touch control module 100, which is not conducive to the thin design requirement of the display device 200 including the touch control module 100 at present. Therefore, selecting the preparation thickness of the second touch control layer 31 between 5 nm and 100 nm is beneficial to ensuring that the touch control module 100 has a relatively low production cost and can ensure the thin design of the relevant display device 200.
[0161] It should be added that the present application does not specifically limit whether there are other film layer structures in the second touch control component 30 except for the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch control layer 31. Other required film layer structures can be provided on one or both sides of the second touch control layer 31 facing and / or away from the transparent substrate 32 according to requirements.
[0162] It should also be added that the present application does not specifically limit the preparation material of the transparent substrate 32. For example, PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) can be selected to make the transparent substrate 32. PET has good light transmittance, good flexibility and stability, which can not only ensure the structural stability of the second touch control component 30, but also ensure the light transmittance and service life of the second touch control component 30. In addition, when PET is used as the preparation substrate of the second touch control layer 31, the PET transparent substrate 32 can be made very thin, which is beneficial to reducing the overall thickness of the touch control module 100, and thus beneficial to the thin design of the display device 200 including the touch control module 100.
[0163] It should also be added that the present application does not specifically limit whether the transparent substrate 32 and the transparent cover plate 21 are rigid substrates or flexible substrates. The transparent substrate 32 and the transparent cover plate 21 can be selected as rigid substrates or flexible substrates according to design requirements. Among them, the rigid substrate can be selected from glass and silicon wafers, and the flexible substrate can be selected from PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate), and PC (Polycarbonate).
[0164] It should also be supplemented that the first touch layer 23 and the second touch layer 31 can be optionally prepared as any one of ITO (Indium-Tin-Oxide, indium tin oxide thin film), SNW (Silver Nanowire, silver nanowire thin film), MM (Metal Mesh, metal mesh thin film), or other selectable film layers that can form touch electrodes.
[0165] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figures 3 - 5 and Figure 7 In an exemplary embodiment, before performing step 107 to prepare the second touch layer 31 on one side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100, it further includes:
[0166] Step 108, preparing a second metal layer 33 on one side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100.
[0167] Specifically, the present application also provides a method for preparing the second touch component 30. Specifically, before performing the content of preparing the second touch layer 31 on one side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 in step 107, step 108 can be first performed to prepare a second metal layer 33 on one side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100. The second metal layer 33 can be made of a material having a strong bonding force with at least one of the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch layer 31, so as to enhance the bonding force between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32 and avoid the problem of coating peeling when the second touch layer 31 is directly prepared on the surface of the transparent substrate 32, thereby facilitating the improvement of the assembly structure stability of the second touch component 30 and reducing or eliminating the occurrence of breakage and fragmentation of the touch module 100, and thus improving the service life of the display device 200 including the touch module 100.
[0168] Among them, along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the preparation thickness of the second metal layer 33 (metal silicon) can be selected between 2 nm and 30 nm. For example, its thickness can be selected to be 5 nm, 12 nm, 18 nm, etc. A metal silicon layer with a thickness less than 2 nm requires very high preparation accuracy, which will greatly increase the preparation cost of the touch module 100. A metal silicon layer with a thickness greater than 30 nm will cause a significant increase in the overall thickness of the touch module 100, which is not conducive to the thin design trend of the related display device 200. Therefore, the present application selects the preparation thickness of the metal silicon layer between 2 nm and 30 nm, which can not only reduce the preparation cost of the touch module 100, but also ensure the thin design of the related display device 200, and can also improve the bonding force and stability between at least some film layers of the touch module 100.
[0169] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、Figures 3 - 5 and Figure 7 , in an exemplary embodiment, before performing step 107 to prepare the second metal layer 33 on one side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100, steps 109 and 110 may be performed first, where:
[0170] Step 109, prepare a first anti-reflection layer 34 on one side surface of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100;
[0171] Step 110, prepare a primer layer 35 on one side surface of the first anti-reflection layer 34 away from the transparent substrate 32.
[0172] Specifically, the present application also provides a method for preparing the second touch component 30. Specifically, before performing the content of preparing the second touch layer 31 on one side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 in step 107, step 109 may be performed first to prepare a first anti-reflection layer 34 on one side surface of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100. The anti-reflection film (first anti-reflection layer 34) is beneficial to increasing the light transmittance of the second touch component 30 and reducing the reflectance, so that the display device 200 including the touch module 100 has a better visual effect. Then, step 110 is performed to prepare a primer layer 35 on one side surface of the first anti-reflection layer 34 away from the transparent substrate 32. Specifically, a silicon dioxide layer may be deposited on one side surface of the first anti-reflection layer 34 away from the transparent substrate 32, so that the primer layer 35 has the characteristics of stable dielectric properties and good moisture resistance, which is beneficial to improving the service life and yield of the touch module 100. In addition, the preparation material of the primer layer 35 may also be selected as a combination of silicon dioxide and silicon nitride, or only silicon nitride is selected.
[0173] Among them, the preparation material of the first anti-reflection layer 34 may be selected from silicon dioxide, zirconia, and titanium oxide. The first anti-reflection layer 34 may be prepared on one side surface of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 by coating. Specifically, methods such as roll coating or slot coating may be selected for coating the first anti-reflection layer 34.
[0174] An alternative embodiment provided by the present application is that, along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the coating thickness of the first anti-reflection layer 34 can range from 0.05 μm to 20 μm. For example, its thickness can be selected to be 0.8 μm. The preparation of the first anti-reflection layer 34 with a thickness less than 0.05 μm requires a high-precision preparation process, which will increase the preparation cost of the touch module 100 and it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the preparation of the first anti-reflection layer 34. If the first anti-reflection layer 34 is prepared to be greater than 20 μm, it will significantly increase the thickness of the touch module 100, which is not conducive to the thin design requirements of the display device 200 including the touch module 100 at present. Therefore, selecting the coating thickness of the first anti-reflection layer 34 between 0.05 μm and 20 μm is beneficial to ensuring that the touch module 100 has a relatively low production cost, can ensure the thinness of the relevant display device 200, and is also conducive to the uniform coating of the first anti-reflection layer 34 to ensure the uniformity of the preparation of the first anti-reflection layer 34, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of the relevant display device 200.
[0175] Along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the preparation thickness of the silicon dioxide layer (the underlayer 35) can range from 2 nm to 30 nm. For example, its thickness can be selected to be 10 nm.
[0176] It should be added that the present application proposes to provide the first anti-reflection layer 34 and the underlayer 35 between the transparent substrate 32 and the second metal layer 33 of the second touch component 30, which is only an alternative embodiment provided by the present application, but the present application is not limited thereto. Other film layer structures can also be selected between the transparent substrate 32 and the second metal layer 33, or other film layer structures can be further provided on the basis of including the first anti-reflection layer 34 and / or the underlayer 35, as long as the good touch function of the touch module 100 and the good display function of the display device 200 including the touch module 100 can be ensured.
[0177] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figures 3 - 5 and Figure 7 , in an exemplary embodiment, after performing step 107 to prepare the second touch layer 31 on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100, it further includes:
[0178] Step 120, printing a first silver paste layer 36 on the surface of the second touch layer 31 away from the transparent substrate 32.
[0179] Specifically, the present application further provides a method for preparing the second touch component 30. Specifically, after performing the step of preparing the second touch layer 31 on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 in step 107, step 120 may further be included. A first silver paste layer 36 is printed on the surface of the second touch layer 31 away from the transparent substrate 32. The first silver paste layer 36 may be disposed on the surface of the second touch layer 31 close to the first touch layer 23, and the first silver paste layer 36 is disposed in the edge area of the touch module 100, that is, the first silver paste layer 36 may be disposed in the non-display area of the display device 200 including the touch module 100. The first silver paste layer 36 can be used to form a conductive Pad (liner) corresponding to the touch trace of the touch layer, so as to realize the conduction of the conductive line through the silver paste.
[0180] Among them, the first silver paste layer 36 can be prepared on the surface of the second touch layer 31 away from the transparent substrate 32 by printing.
[0181] That is, as Figure shown, the preparation process of the second touch component 30 in the touch module 100 should be: step 106, providing a transparent substrate; step 109, preparing a first anti-reflection layer on the side surface of the transparent substrate facing the touch surface of the touch module; step 110, preparing a primer layer on the surface of the first anti-reflection layer away from the transparent substrate; step 108, preparing a second metal layer on the side of the primer layer facing the touch surface of the touch module; step 107, preparing a second touch layer on the side of the second metal layer facing the touch surface of the touch module; step 120, printing a first silver paste layer on the surface of the second touch layer away from the transparent substrate to obtain the second touch component.
[0182] Please continue to refer to 、 and In an exemplary embodiment, when step 108 is executed, preparing the second metal layer 33 on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 may specifically be executed as:
[0183] Prepare a metal silicon layer on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100.
[0184] Specifically, regarding the content of preparing the second metal layer 33 on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100 in step 108, it can be specifically selected to prepare a metal silicon layer on the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100. That is, the second metal layer 33 can be specifically selected as the metal silicon layer. There is a good bonding force between the metal silicon and the materials currently used in the display field for making the touch layer, as well as between the materials used for making the transparent substrate 32. Therefore, by setting a metal silicon layer between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32, it is beneficial to improve the bonding force between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32 and avoid the problem of coating peeling when the second touch layer 31 is directly prepared on the surface of the transparent substrate 32.
[0185] It should be added that with the development of technology, if there are other materials that can achieve the effect of improving the bonding force between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32, a film layer made of other materials can also be selected and set between the second touch layer 31 and the transparent substrate 32.
[0186] It should also be added that the present application does not specifically limit whether there are other film layer structures between the second metal layer 33 of the transparent substrate 32 and between the second metal layer 33 and the second touch layer 31. Other film layer structures can be set between the second metal layer 33 of the transparent substrate 32 and / or between the second metal layer 33 and the second touch layer 31 according to requirements to ensure the good touch function and display function of the display device 200 including the touch module 100.
[0187] It should also be added that in the embodiment provided by the present application, a second metal layer 33 (metal silicon layer) is set between the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch layer 31 to improve the bonding force between the transparent substrate 32 and the second touch layer 31. This is just an optional setting method provided by the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, it can also be selected to directly prepare the second touch layer 31 on the surface of the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100, thereby further streamlining the film layer of the second metal layer 33, which is beneficial to further reduce the overall thickness of the touch module 100 and further reduce the manufacturing process flow of the touch module 100. That is, with the development of technology, if there is a material that can be used as a touch layer and has a good bonding force with the transparent substrate 32, this material can be used to directly prepare the touch layer on the surface of the side of the transparent substrate 32 facing the touch surface of the touch module 100.
[0188] Please continue to refer to 、 and , in an exemplary embodiment, before preparing the first touch layer 23 on the side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21 in step 103, it further includes:
[0189] Step 130: Prepare a second anti-reflection layer 24 on the surface of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21.
[0190] Specifically, the present application also provides an alternative preparation method for the first touch component 20. Before performing the content of preparing the first touch layer 23 on the side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21 in step 103, first perform step 130 to prepare a second anti-reflection layer 24 on the surface of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21. Among them, the second anti-reflection layer 24 can be prepared on the surface of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21 by sputtering; the preparation material of the second anti-reflection layer 24 can be selected from silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, niobium oxide, and titanium oxide. That is, the production materials of the second anti-reflection layer 24 and the first anti-reflection layer 34 may not be exactly the same. Among them, the sputtering sequence of the second anti-reflection layer 24 is to first sputter silicon dioxide and / or silicon nitride, and then sputter the optical layers niobium oxide and titanium oxide.
[0191] By preparing the second anti-reflection layer 24 between the first metal layer 22 and the first touch layer 23, the second anti-reflection layer 24 is beneficial to increasing the light transmittance of the first touch component 20 and reducing the reflectivity, so that the display device 200 including the touch module 100 has a better visual effect; at the same time, the anti-reflection film (second anti-reflection layer 24) is also beneficial to reducing the visual contrast between the area where the touch traces or touch electrodes are arranged in the touch module 100 and the vacant area between the touch traces or touch electrodes, thereby being beneficial to improving the display effect of the display device 200 including the touch module 100 and the appearance consistency when in the non-display state.
[0192] The present application also provides an alternative implementation manner. Along the thickness direction of the touch module 100, the sputtering thickness value range of the second anti-reflection layer 24 can be between 0.05 μm and 20 μm. For example, its thickness can be selected to be 0.8 μm. The preparation of the second anti-reflection layer 24 with a thickness less than 0.05 μm requires a high-precision preparation process, which will increase the preparation cost of the touch module 100 and it is difficult to ensure the preparation uniformity of the second anti-reflection layer 24. If the second anti-reflection layer 24 is prepared with a thickness greater than 20 μm, it will significantly increase the thickness of the touch module 100, which is not conducive to the thin design requirements of the current display device 200 including the touch module 100. Therefore, selecting the sputtering thickness of the second anti-reflection layer 24 between 0.05 μm and 20 μm is beneficial to ensuring that the touch module 100 has a relatively low production cost, and can ensure the thinness of the relevant display device 200. At the same time, it is also beneficial to the uniform sputtering of the second anti-reflection layer 24 to ensure the preparation uniformity of the second anti-reflection layer 24, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of the relevant display device 200.
[0193] Among them, the silicon dioxide and / or silicon nitride in the second light-blocking layer 24 is equivalent to the underlayer film layer in the second light-blocking layer 24, and the prepared thickness of the underlayer film layer can be selected to account for 5%-35% of the total thickness of the second light-blocking layer 24.
[0194] Please continue to refer to 、 and , in an exemplary embodiment, the touch module 100 includes a touch area 10 and a non-touch area 11 that at least partially surrounds the touch area 10;
[0195] After performing step 103 of preparing the first touch layer 23 on the side of the first metal layer 22 away from the transparent cover plate 21, steps 140-step 160 can be further performed, where:
[0196] Step 140, at least within the non-touch area 11, print an ink layer 25 on the surface of the first touch layer 23 away from the first metal layer 22;
[0197] Step 150, print a carbon paste layer 26 on the surface of the ink layer 25 away from the first touch layer 23;
[0198] Step 160, print a second silver paste layer 27 on the surface of the carbon paste layer 26 away from the ink layer 25.
[0199] Specifically, the touch module 100 provided in this application includes a touch area 10 and a non-touch area 11 surrounding the touch area 10. Among them, the touch module 100 at least further includes, by performing step 140, printing an ink layer 25 on the surface of the first touch layer 23 away from the first metal layer 22 at least within the non-touch area 11, and then performing step 150, printing a carbon paste layer 26 on the surface of the ink layer 25 away from the first touch layer 23, and then performing step 160, printing a second silver paste layer 27 on the surface of the carbon paste layer 26 away from the ink layer 25.
[0200] Among them, the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26 and the second silver paste layer 27 can be used to cover the entire non-touch area 11, which is beneficial to the color uniformity of the non-display area of the display device 200 corresponding to the touch module 100, improves the aesthetics of the display device 200, and at the same time is also beneficial to avoiding the problem of light leakage in the non-display area of the display device 200 and improving the display effect of the display device 200. In addition, at least the second silver paste layer 27 can be used to prepare the conductive Pad (liner) corresponding to the touch trace in the first touch layer 23 to realize the conduction of the conductive line through the silver paste.
[0201] It should be added that the application proposes to provide an ink layer 25, a carbon paste layer 26, and a second silver paste layer 27 on the non-touch area 11 on the surface of the first touch layer 23 facing the second touch layer 31. This is only an optional implementation provided by the application. It is also possible to select any one of the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26, and the second silver paste layer 27, or a combination of any two of them, and set them in the non-touch area 11 according to requirements. The application does not make specific limitations on this.
[0202] That is, as shown, the preparation process of the first touch component 20 in the touch module 100 should be: Step 101, provide a transparent cover plate; Step 102, prepare a first metal layer on the surface of the transparent cover plate on the side away from the touch surface of the touch module; Step 130, prepare a second anti-reflection layer on the surface of the first metal layer away from the transparent cover plate; Step 103, prepare a first touch layer on the side of the second anti-reflection layer away from the transparent cover plate; Step 140, at least in the non-touch area, print an ink layer on the surface of the first touch layer away from the first metal layer; Step 150, print a carbon paste layer on the surface of the ink layer away from the first touch layer; Step 160, print a second silver paste layer on the surface of the carbon paste layer away from the ink layer to obtain the first touch component.
[0203] As shown, after obtaining the first touch component and the second touch component, perform Step 105, bond the second touch component to the side of the first touch layer away from the first metal layer to obtain the touch module.
[0204] Another optional implementation provided by the application is to prepare at least one of the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26, and the second silver paste layer 27 between the transparent cover plate 21 and the first touch layer 23. That is, on the side of the transparent cover plate 21 away from the touch surface of the touch module 100, after at least one of the ink layer 25, the carbon paste layer 26, and the second silver paste layer 27 is prepared, then the first touch layer 23 is prepared.
[0205] In addition, the first silver paste layer 36 and / or the second silver paste layer 27 can be prepared by printing or spraying. The application does not make specific limitations on this.

Unless there is a clear indication in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders.
