Existing touch display devices are prone to low-frequency flickering, mainly because the vias occupy sub-pixel space, resulting in reduced storage capacitance and poor voltage retention.

Method used

An array substrate structure was designed in which the vias are arranged such that the first and second vias are offset in a specific direction, reducing the area occupied by the vias. At the same time, a certain deviation is allowed in the patterning process to ensure connectivity and ensure the connection between the touch electrodes and the signal lines.

Benefits of technology

By reducing the area occupied by the via, the capacitance setting space of the sub-pixel is increased, the voltage holding capability is improved, and the undesirable phenomenon of low-frequency flicker is avoided.

[0106] Example embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments, may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. can be used herein to describe various elements / regions, these elements / regions should not be limited by these terms since such elements / regions can be labeled in another suitable manner.

[0107] Although relative terms such as "on", "under", etc. are used herein to describe one component's relationship to another component, these terms are used herein for convenience only and only in the relative sense intended in the examples described in the drawings. It will be understood that if the apparatus of the icon is turned upside down, the component recited as "on" will become the component recited as "under". When a certain structure is "on" another structure, it can mean that the certain structure is formed directly on the other structure, or that the certain structure is "directly" on the other structure, or that the certain structure is "indirectly" on the other structure via another structure.

[0108] The terms "one", "a", "an", "the", and "at least one" are used to indicate that there is one or more of the elements / components / etc.; the term "includes" and the term "including" are used as open-ended terms and do not exclude the presence of additional elements / components / etc.; the term "first", "second", and "third" are used only as labels, and do not limit the quantities or the order of the elements they refer to.

[0109] In the present application, unless specifically defined and limited otherwise, the term "connected" shall be construed broadly, for example, "connected" can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate medium. "And / or", is only a description of the relationship between the associated objects, indicating that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and / or B, can represent: A alone, A and B exist at the same time, B alone, these three cases. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents that the front and rear associated objects are a "or" relationship.

[0110] The inventors found that the main cause of the low-frequency flicker is that the reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the array substrate 100, a part of the sub-pixels need to be provided with a via hole 601, and the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 are connected through the via hole 601. The via hole 601 needs to occupy a certain space. For products with high PPI (Pixels Per Inch, pixel density) and small sub-pixels, the sub-pixels provided with the via hole 601 are different from the normal sub-pixels in design, and the common electrode and the pixel electrode 84 need to be cut to a certain extent to place the via hole 601 or the connecting part, thereby causing the Cst (storage capacitance) of the sub-pixel provided with the via hole 601 to be smaller than that of the normal sub-pixel, and causing the voltage holding capacity of the sub-pixel provided with the via hole 601 to be worse than that of the normal sub-pixel, especially in the low-frequency case, low-frequency flicker is prone to occur.

[0111] The example embodiments of the present disclosure provide an array substrate 100, referring to Figures 1-35As shown, the array substrate 100 can include a first substrate substrate 1, a first conductive layer 5, an insulating layer group 6, and a second conductive layer 7; the first conductive layer 5 is arranged on one side of the first substrate substrate 1, and the first conductive layer 5 includes a touch signal line 51 extending along a first direction X; the insulating layer group 6 is arranged on the side of the first conductive layer 5 away from the first substrate substrate 1, and the insulating layer group 6 includes a first insulating layer group 6a and a second insulating layer 62 arranged in a stack, a plurality of first vias 6a1 and a plurality of second vias 6a2 are arranged on the first insulating layer group 6a, and a plurality of third vias 621 are arranged on the second insulating layer 62; the second conductive layer 7 is arranged on the side of at least one layer of the first insulating layer group 6a and the second insulating layer 62 away from the first substrate substrate 1, and the second conductive layer 7 includes a touch electrode 71 connected to the touch signal line 51 through the first via 6a1 and the third via 621 in communication and the second via 6a2 and the third via 621 in communication; wherein the at least one first via 6a1 and the at least one second via 6a2 are in communication with the same touch signal line 51, and the third via 621 has a first hole wall 6211 and a second hole wall 6212 arranged opposite in the first direction X, and in the first direction X, the first via 6a1 is arranged closer to the first hole wall 6211 relative to the second hole wall 6212, and the second via 6a2 is arranged closer to the second hole wall 6212 relative to the first hole wall 6211.

[0112] The array substrate 100 of the present disclosure, on the one hand, for the first via 6a1, the overlapping edge margin of the side of the first via 6a1 close to the first hole wall 6211 with the third via 621 can not be considered, so that the first via 6a1 and the third via 621 can be arranged smaller; for the second via 6a2, the overlapping edge margin of the side of the second via 6a2 close to the second hole wall 6212 with the third via 621 can not be considered, so that the second via 6a2 and the third via 621 can be arranged smaller, that is, the occupied area of the first via 6a1, the second via 6a2 and the third via 621 can be reduced, so as to increase the setting space of the capacitance of the sub-pixel, so as to ensure the voltage holding ability of the sub-pixel and avoid the occurrence of low-frequency flicker.

[0113] In another aspect, even if the alignment process of the mask plate deviates during the patterning process, when offsetting towards the first hole wall 6211, although the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621 can be connected poorly, the second via hole 6a2 is offset towards the center of the third via hole 621, thereby ensuring the connection between the second via hole 6a2 and the third via hole 621, and ensuring the connection between the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51; similarly, when offsetting towards the second hole wall 6212, although the second via hole 6a2 and the third via hole 621 can be connected poorly, the first via hole 6a1 is offset towards the center of the third via hole 621, thereby ensuring the connection between the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, and ensuring the connection between the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51; moreover, the offset is in the first direction X, and the touch signal line 51 extends along the first direction X, so that no matter how the offset is, it will not deviate from the touch signal line 51.

[0114] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the multi-layer stack cannot see the structure of each layer, Figure 5 In Figure 5 , the touch electrode 71 is not shown, and the touch electrode 71 is basically arranged in an entire layer. The array substrate 100 can include a plurality of touch electrodes 71 arranged in an array and a plurality of touch signal lines 51. Each touch electrode 71 is electrically connected to a corresponding touch signal line 51 through a via hole 601, thereby being electrically connected to the touch control circuit 9 through the touch signal line 51.

[0115] Referring to Figure 2 , the array substrate 100 can include a plurality of pixel regions P Figure 2 , four pixel regions P1, P2, P3 and P4 are shown for example), each pixel region P includes three sub-pixel regions (see SP1, SP2, SP3), and each sub-pixel region is defined by adjacent gate lines 22 Figure 2 , two gate lines 22 are shown for example) and adjacent data lines 52 Figure 2 , 521 to 526 are shown for example) intersecting each other.

[0116] The array substrate 100 further includes a plurality of touch signal lines 51 Figure 2The plurality of touch signal lines 51 extend along the first direction X and are arranged in sequence along the second direction Y (as shown in 511-512), and each touch signal line 51 passes through an opening region of the sub-pixel area SP which is not shielded by a black matrix layer in the display device. A via hole 601 is arranged at the sub-pixel area SP3 of the pixel area P1, and the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 are connected through the via hole 601, which causes the Cst (storage capacitance) of the sub-pixel area SP3 to be smaller than the Cst (storage capacitance) of the normal sub-pixel areas SP1 and SP2, and causes the voltage retention capability of the sub-pixel area SP3 to be poorer than that of the normal sub-pixel, which is prone to low-frequency flicker, especially in the case of low frequency.

[0117] In the example embodiment, the first substrate 1 can be a glass substrate; of course, in some other example embodiments of the present disclosure, the first substrate 1 can also be quartz or the like; the first substrate 1 can further include an insulating material layer, which can be arranged on one side of the glass substrate, and the insulating material layer can be a resin material such as polyimide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate, polyetherimide, polyethersulfone, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate.

[0118] In the example embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , a gate layer 2 can be arranged on one side of the first substrate 1, and the gate layer 2 can include a plurality of gate lines 22 and a plurality of gates 21. The gate lines 22 can extend along the second direction Y, and the plurality of gates 21 arranged along the second direction Y can be connected to the same gate line 22, or a part of the gate line 22 can serve as a gate 21.

[0119] In the example embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , a gate insulating layer 3 is arranged on the side of the gate layer 2 away from the first substrate 1. An active layer 4 is arranged on the side of the gate insulating layer 3 away from the first substrate 1, and the active layer 4 can include a channel portion 41 and conductor portions arranged at both ends of the channel portion 41, one of the two conductor portions being a source connection portion 42 and the other being a drain connection portion 43. The channel portion 41 is arranged on the side of the gate line 22 away from the first substrate 1, i.e., a part of the gate line 22 opposite the channel portion 41 serves as a gate 21.

[0120] In the example embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , a first conductive layer 5 is arranged on the side of the active layer 4 away from the first substrate 1, and the first conductive layer 5 can include a source 53, a drain 54, a data line 52, and a touch signal line 51. The touch signal line 51 extends along the first direction X, and the data line 52 extends along the first direction X, and the first direction X intersects the second direction Y, e.g., the first direction X can be perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0121] The source 53 is connected to the data line 52 and to the source connection portion 42, thereby connecting the source connection portion 42 and the data line 52 through the source 53; the drain 54 is connected to the subsequently formed pixel electrode and to the drain connection portion 43, thereby connecting the drain connection portion 43 and the pixel electrode through the drain 54. The gate 21, the channel portion 41, the source 53, the drain 54, and the source connection portion 42 and the drain connection portion 43 form a switching unit, which is a thin-film transistor.

[0122] It should be noted that the thin-film transistor described in this specification is a bottom-gate thin-film transistor. In other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the thin-film transistor may also be a top-gate or dual-gate type, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here. Moreover, in cases where thin-film transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source 53" and "drain 54" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, the "source 53" and "drain 54" can be interchanged.

[0123] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 3 As shown, an insulating layer group 6 is disposed on the side of the first conductive layer 5 away from the first substrate 1. The insulating layer group 6 may include a first insulating layer group 6a and a second insulating layer 62. The material of the first insulating layer group 6a may include inorganic materials, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, etc. The material of the second insulating layer 62 may include organic materials, such as polyimide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate, etc. The material of the second insulating layer 62 may be photoresist. When forming the second sub-via 612 on the second insulating layer 62, only exposure and development are required, saving process steps; while when forming the second sub-via 612 on other film layers, after exposure and development, it is necessary to etch the other film layers using photoresist as a mask.

[0124] Of course, in some other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the first insulating layer group 6a may also include organic materials, and the second insulating layer 62 may also include inorganic materials.

[0125] Reference Figure 4As shown, the first insulating layer group 6a and the second insulating layer 62 are not shown, only the first via hole 6a1, the second via hole 6a2 and the third via hole 621 are shown; the first insulating layer group 6a is provided with a plurality of first via holes 6a1 and a plurality of second via holes 6a2, at least one first via hole 6a1 and at least one second via hole 6a2 are communicated to the same touch signal line 51, that is, the orthographic projection of at least one first via hole 6a1 and at least one second via hole 6a2 on the substrate is overlapped with the orthographic projection of the same touch signal line 51 on the substrate; it can also be said that the same touch signal line 51 has at least two parts not covered by the first insulating layer group 6a; for example, one first via hole 6a1 and one second via hole 6a2 can be communicated to the same touch signal line 51, or two or more first via holes 6a1 and two or more second via holes 6a2 can be communicated to the same touch signal line 51.

[0126] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the first insulating layer group 6a can include a first insulating layer 61, which is arranged on the side of the first conductive layer 5 away from the first substrate 1. The material of the first insulating layer 61 can be an inorganic material, for example, it can be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, etc. The first insulating layer 61 is provided with a plurality of first sub-via holes 611 and a plurality of second sub-via holes 612.

[0127] In the present example embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the second insulating layer 62 is arranged on the side of the first insulating layer 61 away from the first substrate 1, and the second insulating layer 62 is provided with a plurality of third via holes 621, the third via holes 621 have a first hole wall 6211 and a second hole wall 6212 arranged opposite in the first direction X.

[0128] The second conductive layer 7 is arranged on the side of at least one layer of the first insulating layer group 6a and the second insulating layer 62 away from the first substrate 1, specifically, the second conductive layer 7 is arranged on the side of the second insulating layer 62 away from the first substrate 1, and the second conductive layer 7 can include a touch electrode 71, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the touch electrode 71 is connected to the touch signal line 51 through the communicated first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, and the communicated second via hole 6a2 and the third via hole 621.

[0129] The material of the second conductive layer 7 can be a transparent conductive material, specifically, the material of the first conductive layer 5 can be ITO (indium tin oxide), IZO (indium zinc oxide), etc.

[0130] Referring to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 14As shown, the touch electrode 71 extends to one end of the second direction Y within the third via hole 621, that is, the touch electrode 71 does not occupy the whole of the third via hole 621, but only occupies one end of the second direction Y of the third via hole 621, and the other part of the second direction Y of the third via hole 621 is for exposing the touch signal line 51. While the first via hole 6a1 and the second via hole 6a2 are offset in the first direction X, as long as the first via hole 6a1 is in communication with the third via hole 621 or the second via hole 6a2 is in communication with the third via hole 621, the connection of the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 can be ensured.

[0131] The touch electrode 71 can be multiplexed as a common electrode. Specifically, the touch electrode 71 can be time-multiplexed as a common electrode, that is, in a first time period, the touch signal line 51 is loaded with a touch signal, and the touch electrode 71 is used as a touch electrode 71 to realize a touch function; in a second time period, the touch signal line 51 is loaded with a common voltage, and the touch electrode 71 is used as a common electrode to realize a display function.

[0132] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, the first insulating layer group 6a can further include a third insulating layer 63. Specifically, the third insulating layer 63 is arranged on the side of the second conductive layer 7 away from the first substrate 1, that is, the second conductive layer 7 is arranged between the second insulating layer 62 and the third insulating layer 63. The material of the third insulating layer 63 can be an inorganic material, for example, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, etc. A plurality of third sub-via holes 631 and a plurality of fourth sub-via holes 632 are arranged on the third insulating layer 63.

[0133] The first via hole 6a1 can include a first sub-via hole 611 and a third sub-via hole 631, and the first sub-via hole 611 and the third sub-via hole 631 are in communication with each other, that is, the third sub-via hole 631 is communicated to the first sub-via hole 611. The second via hole 6a2 can include a second sub-via hole 612 and a fourth sub-via hole 632, and the second sub-via hole 612 and the fourth sub-via hole 632 are in communication with each other, that is, the fourth sub-via hole 632 is communicated to the second sub-via hole 612, so that at least one third sub-via hole 631 and at least one fourth sub-via hole 632 are communicated to the same touch signal line 51. Moreover, at least one third sub-via hole 631 and at least one fourth sub-via hole 632 are communicated to the same touch electrode 71, that is, the same touch electrode 71 is exposed at the position of at least one third sub-via hole 631 and at least one fourth sub-via hole 632 without being covered by the third insulating layer 63.

[0134] Of course, in some other example embodiments of the present disclosure, the first insulating layer group 6a can only include the first insulating layer 61, in which case the second conductive layer 7 is arranged on the side of the second insulating layer 62 facing away from the first substrate 1, the first via hole 6a1 can only include the first sub-via hole 611, and the second via hole 6a2 can only include the second sub-via hole 612; the first insulating layer group 6a can only include the third insulating layer 63, in which case the first via hole 6a1 can only include the third sub-via hole 631, and the second via hole 6a2 can only include the fourth sub-via hole 632.

[0135] Since the first via hole 6a1 and the second via hole 6a2 on the first insulating layer group 6a and the third via hole 621 on the second insulating layer 62 are formed by two different patterning processes respectively, due to the deviation of the alignment process of the mask plate during the two patterning processes, the deviation range is between -2 microns and +2 microns (positive and negative represent the direction), the third via hole 621 needs to be set larger, so that the periphery of the third via hole 621 and the periphery of the first via hole 6a1 and the periphery of the second via hole 6a2 form an overlay margin, so as to ensure that the first via hole 6a1 and the second via hole 6a2 formed later can be connected to the third via hole 621, so as to realize the electrical connection of the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51.

[0136] In the present example embodiment, in the first direction, the first via hole 6a1 is arranged closer to the first hole wall 6211 than the second hole wall 6212, so that the first via hole 6a1 is located on one side of the third via hole 621 in the first direction X; the second via hole 6a2 is arranged closer to the second hole wall 6212 than the first hole wall 6211, so that the second via hole 6a2 is located on the other side of the third via hole 621 in the first direction X; that is, the first via hole 6a1 and the second via hole 6a2 are arranged offset from the center of the third via hole 621.

[0137] In this way, for the first via hole 6a1, the overlay margin of the first via hole 6a1 on the side close to the first hole wall 6211 and the third via hole 621 can not be considered, so that the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621 can be arranged smaller; for the second via hole 6a2, the overlay margin of the second via hole 6a2 on the side close to the second hole wall 6212 and the third via hole 621 can not be considered, so that the second via hole 6a2 and the third via hole 621 can be arranged smaller, thereby increasing the setting space of the capacitance of the sub-pixel, to ensure the voltage holding capability of the sub-pixel and avoid the occurrence of low-frequency flicker defects.

[0138] Furthermore, since the first via 6a1 and the second via 6a2 are located at opposite ends of the third via 621, even if the alignment process of the mask plate deviates during the patterning process, and the second via 6a2 shifts towards the center of the third via 6211 when it shifts towards the first hole wall 6211, although the first via 6a1 and the third via 621 may have poor communication, this causes the second via 6a2 to shift towards the center of the third via 621, thereby ensuring the communication between the second via 6a2 and the third via 621, and thus ensuring the connection between the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51. Similarly, when shifting towards the second hole wall 6212, although the second via 6a2 and the third via 621 may have poor communication, this causes the first via 6a1 to shift towards the center of the third via 621, thereby ensuring the communication between the first via 6a1 and the third via 621, and thus ensuring the connection between the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51.

[0139] In this example embodiment, a third conductive layer 8 is provided on the side of the third insulating layer 63 facing away from the first substrate 1. The material of the third conductive layer 8 can be a transparent conductive material. Specifically, the material of the first conductive layer 5 can be ITO (indium tin oxide), IZO (indium zinc oxide), etc. (Refer to...) Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 14 As shown, the third conductive layer 8 may include a pixel electrode 84, a first connecting portion 81 and a second connecting portion 82, and the pixel electrode 84, the first connecting portion 81 and the second connecting portion 82 are spaced apart, that is, there is no connection between the pixel electrode 84, the first connecting portion 81 and the second connecting portion 82.

[0140] The first connecting part 81 connects the touch control electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 through the third via 621 and the first via 6a1, and the second connecting part 82 connects the touch control electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 through the third via 621 and the second via 6a2. Thus, the touch control electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 are connected as a single unit through the first connecting part 81 and the second connecting part 82, and touch signals can be transmitted to the touch electrode 71 through the touch signal line 51.

[0141] This configuration reduces the opening area of ​​the first via 6a1, the second via 6a2, and the third via 621, thereby reducing the area of ​​the first connecting portion 81 and the second connecting portion 82. This increases the area of ​​the pixel electrode 84 and the Cst of the sub-pixel with the via, ensuring the voltage retention capability of the sub-pixel with the via and preventing low-frequency flicker.

[0142] Reference Figures 8-13As shown, due to the shielding of the first insulating layer 61 by the second insulating layer 62 and the touch electrode 71 when the first sub-via hole 611 is formed, the orthographic projection of the first sub-via hole 611 on the first substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, specifically, the area of the orthographic projection of the first sub-via hole 611 on the first substrate 1 is smaller than the area of the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1 completely covers the orthographic projection of the first sub-via hole 611 on the first substrate 1.

[0143] The orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1.

[0144] For example, referring to Figs. 6a and 6b, the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 can be located within the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, and one side edge of the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, so that at the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, the third insulating layer 63 does not cover the first hole wall 6211, and the third insulating layer 63 covers the second hole wall 6212. Figure 10 Figure 11 For example, referring to Figs. 6a and 6b, the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 can be located within the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, and one side edge of the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, so that at the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, the third insulating layer 63 does not cover the first hole wall 6211, and the third insulating layer 63 covers the second hole wall 6212.

[0145] For example, referring to Figs. 6a and 6b, the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 can be located within the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, and one side edge of the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, so that at the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, the third insulating layer 63 does not cover the first hole wall 6211, and the third insulating layer 63 covers the second hole wall 6212. Figure 12 For example, referring to Figs. 6a and 6b, the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 can be located within the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, and one side edge of the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, so that at the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, the third insulating layer 63 does not cover the first hole wall 6211, and the third insulating layer 63 covers the second hole wall 6212.

[0146] Figure 13 For example, referring to Figs. 6a and 6b, the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 can be located within the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, and one side edge of the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 coincides with the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, so that at the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, the third insulating layer 63 does not cover the first hole wall 6211, and the third insulating layer 63 covers the second hole wall 6212.

[0147] In addition, referring to Figs. 6a and 6b, the orthographic projection of the third sub-via hole 631 on the first substrate 1 can be located within the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, so that at the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621, the third insulating layer 63 covers the hole wall of the third via hole 621, that is, the third insulating layer 63 almost completely covers the hole wall of the third via hole 621. Figure 9 ​​As shown, in the above example embodiment, at the first via 6a1 and the third via 621, the third insulating layer 63 covers the two sidewalls of the third via 621 that are disposed opposite each other in the second direction Y.

[0148] Reference Figure 9 , Figures 14-16 As shown, since the second insulating layer 62 and the touch electrode 71 can block the first insulating layer 61 when the second sub-via 612 is formed, the orthogonal projection of the second sub-via 612 on the first substrate 1 is located within the orthogonal projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1. Specifically, the area of ​​the orthogonal projection of the second sub-via 612 on the first substrate 1 is smaller than the area of ​​the orthogonal projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, and the orthogonal projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 completely covers the orthogonal projection of the second sub-via 612 on the first substrate 1.

[0149] The orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1.

[0150] For example, refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 may be located within the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, and one side edge of the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 may coincide with the orthographic projection of the second hole wall 6212 of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, such that at the second via 6a12 and the third via 621, the third insulating layer 63 does not cover the second hole wall 6212, and the third insulating layer 63 covers the first hole wall 6211.

[0151] When forming the second via 6a2, if the mask plate is offset more towards the first hole wall 6211, the orthogonal projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 may be located within the orthogonal projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, so that at the second via 6a12 and the third via 621, the third insulating layer 63 covers the hole wall of the third via 621, that is, the third insulating layer 63 almost completely covers the surrounding hole walls of the third via 621.

[0152] When forming the second via 6a2, if the mask plate is offset more towards the second hole wall 6212, a portion of the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 may overlap with a portion of the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1. This results in the third insulating layer 63 not covering the second hole wall 6212 and not covering a portion of the side of the second insulating layer facing away from the first substrate 1 near the second hole wall 6212 at the second via 6a12 and the third via 621, and the third insulating layer 63 covering the first hole wall 6211.

[0153] Additionally, refer to Figure 9 As shown, in the above example embodiment, at the second via 6a12 and the third via 621, the third insulating layer 63 covers the two sidewalls of the third via 621 that are disposed opposite each other in the second direction Y.

[0154] In addition, in some other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to... Figure 17 As shown, the second conductive layer 7 is disposed on the side of the third insulating layer 63 facing away from the first substrate 1; the touch electrode 71 can be directly connected to the touch signal line 51 through the connected first via 6a1 and third via 621 and the connected second via 6a2 and third via 621, without the need for the first connecting portion 81 and the second connecting portion 82. In this case, the array substrate may also include a third conductive layer 8, which is disposed between the second insulating layer 62 and the third insulating layer 63, and includes a pixel electrode 84. Since the connection between the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 also requires the connection through the connected first via 6a1 and third via 621 and the connected second via 6a2 and third via 621, the above-mentioned arrangement of the first via 6a1, second via 6a2 and third via 621 is also applicable to this example embodiment, and the specific structure will not be described here.

[0155] In other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the first conductive layer 5 may further include a gate 21 and a gate line 22, meaning the first conductive layer 5 is the gate layer 2. The touch signal line 51 and the gate line 22 are disposed on the same layer to avoid the touch signal line 51 and the gate line 22 crossing. The gate line 22 also extends along the first direction X and is spaced apart from the touch signal line 51. The gate 21 is connected to the gate line 22, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0156] In this case, the first insulating layer group 6a can further include a gate insulating layer 3 disposed on a side of the first conductive layer 5 facing away from the first substrate 1, and a plurality of fifth sub-vias 31 and a plurality of sixth sub-vias 32 are disposed on the gate insulating layer 3; the plurality of fifth sub-vias 31 and the plurality of sixth sub-vias 32 are formed by the same patterning process as the first sub-via 611 and the second sub-via 612 on the first insulating layer 61 and the third sub-via 631 and the fourth sub-via 632 on the third insulating layer 63, so that the first via 6a1 can include the first sub-via 611, the third sub-via 631, and the fifth sub-via 31 that are in communication with each other, and the second via 6a2 can include the second sub-via 612, the fourth sub-via 632, and the sixth sub-via 32 that are in communication with each other.

[0157] The fifth sub-via 31 has a projection on the first substrate 1 that is located within a projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, and specifically, an area of the projection of the fifth sub-via 31 on the first substrate 1 is less than an area of the projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, and the projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 completely covers the projection of the fifth sub-via 31 on the first substrate 1.

[0158] The sixth sub-via 32 has a projection on the first substrate 1 that is located within a projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, and specifically, an area of the projection of the sixth sub-via 32 on the first substrate 1 is less than an area of the projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1, and the projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 completely covers the projection of the sixth sub-via 32 on the first substrate 1.

[0159] In addition, it should be noted that the present example embodiment limits the touch signal line 51 to be located in the gate layer 2, and therefore, other structures in the above example embodiments can be combined as long as they do not conflict with the present example embodiment, which will not be described one by one here.

[0160] In the present example embodiment, in the second direction Y, a distance between an edge line of the projection of the third sub-via 631 on the first substrate 1 and an edge line of the projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 is greater than or equal to 1 micrometer and less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers, for example, the distance between the edge line of the projection of the third sub-via 631 on the first substrate 1 and the edge line of the projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 can be 1.2 micrometers, 1.5 micrometers, 1.7 micrometers, 2 micrometers, 2.3 micrometers, and the like.

[0161] If the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the third sub-via 631 on the first substrate 1 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 is too small, it will increase the difficulty of the alignment process and thus increase the manufacturing cost.

[0162] If the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the third sub-via 631 on the first substrate 1 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 is too large, the third via 621 needs to be enlarged, which is not conducive to the layout of other structures on the array substrate 100. Alternatively, the third sub-via 631 needs to be reduced, which may easily lead to the third sub-via 631 and the third via 621 being unable to communicate.

[0163] The above-mentioned numerical range will not increase the difficulty of the alignment process or the manufacturing cost; moreover, it can meet the alignment deviation requirements of the two patterning processes and ensure that the third sub-via 631 and the third via 621 are connected.

[0164] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 9 As shown, since the first sub-via 611 and the third sub-via 631 are formed through the same patterning process, and one end of the first sub-via 611 in the second direction Y is blocked by the touch electrode 71 while the other end is not blocked; therefore, in the second direction Y, the distance between the corresponding edge lines of the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the first sub-via 611 near the touch electrode 71 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the third sub-via 621 on the first substrate 1 is the length of the touch electrode 71 extending into the third sub-via 621. The distance between the corresponding edge lines of the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the first sub-via 611 away from the touch electrode 71 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the third sub-via 621 on the first substrate 1 is also greater than or equal to 1 micrometer and less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers.

[0165] In this example embodiment, in the second direction Y, the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 is greater than or equal to 1 micrometer and less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers. For example, the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 can be 1.2 micrometers, 1.5 micrometers, 1.7 micrometers, 2 micrometers, 2.3 micrometers, etc.

[0166] If the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 is too small, it will increase the difficulty of the alignment process and thus increase the manufacturing cost.

[0167] If the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the fourth sub-via 632 on the first substrate 1 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the third via 621 on the first substrate 1 is too large, the third via 621 needs to be enlarged, which is not conducive to the layout of other structures on the array substrate 100. Alternatively, the fourth sub-via 632 needs to be reduced, which may result in the fourth sub-via 632 and the third via 621 being unable to communicate.

[0168] The above-mentioned numerical range will not increase the difficulty of the alignment process or the manufacturing cost; moreover, it can meet the alignment deviation requirements of the two patterning processes and ensure that the fourth sub-via 632 and the third via 621 are connected.

[0169] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 9 As shown, since the second sub-via 612 and the third sub-via 631 are formed through the same patterning process, and one end of the second sub-via 612 in the second direction Y is blocked by the touch electrode 71 while the other end is not blocked; therefore, in the second direction Y, the distance between the corresponding edge lines of the orthographic projection of the second sub-via 612 near the touch electrode 71 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the third sub-via 621 on the first substrate 1 is the length of the touch electrode 71 extending into the third sub-via 621. The distance between the corresponding edge lines of the orthographic projection of the second sub-via 612 away from the touch electrode 71 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the third sub-via 621 on the first substrate 1 is also greater than or equal to 1 micrometer and less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers.

[0170] In this example embodiment, in the first direction X, the distance between the orthographic projection of the first via 6a1 near the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 is less than or equal to 0.5 micrometers. For example, the distance between the orthographic projection of the first via 6a1 near the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 can be 0.05 micrometers, 0.1 micrometers, 0.15 micrometers, 0.2 micrometers, 0.25 micrometers, 0.3 micrometers, 0.35 micrometers, 0.4 micrometers, 0.45 micrometers, etc.

[0171] If the distance between the orthographic projection of the first via 6a1 near the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 is too large, the first via 6a1 will deviate too far from the center of the third via 621, or the first via 6a1 will not deviate much from the center of the third via 621. This will result in the first via 6a1 being set too large, failing to achieve the purpose of reducing the first via 6a1 to reduce the first connection portion 81 and increase the pixel electrode 84, and low-frequency flickering will still occur.

[0172] It should be noted that, with reference to Figure 12 It should be noted that, with reference to

[0173] The distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the first via 6a1 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 is greater than or equal to 1 microns and less than or equal to 2.5 microns, for example, the distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the first via 6a1 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 can be 1.2 microns, 1.5 microns, 1.7 microns, 2 microns, 2.3 microns, etc.

[0174] The first via 6a1 and the second via 6a2 on the first insulating layer group 6a and the third via 621 on the second insulating layer 62 are respectively formed by two different patterning processes; due to the deviation of the alignment process of the mask plate during the two patterning processes, the deviation range is between -2 microns and +2 microns (positive and negative represent the direction), the third via 621 formed first needs to be set larger, so that the first via 6a1 and the second via 6a2 formed later can be connected to the third via 621.

[0175] If the distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the first via 6a1 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 is too small, it will increase the difficulty of the alignment process, thereby increasing the preparation cost.

[0176] If the distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the first via 6a1 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate substrate 1 is too large, the third via 621 needs to be increased, which is not conducive to the layout of other structures on the array substrate 100, or the first via 6a1 needs to be reduced, which is easy to cause the first via 6a1 and the third via 621 cannot be connected.

[0177] The above numerical range does not increase the difficulty of the alignment process and does not increase the preparation cost, and can meet the requirements of the alignment deviation of the two patterning processes, and can ensure the communication of the first via hole 6a1 and the third via hole 621.

[0178] It should be noted that since the hole wall of the first sub-via hole 611, the hole wall of the third sub-via hole 631, the first hole wall 6211 and the second hole wall 6212 are generally all inclined, the orthogonal projection of the hole wall of the third sub-via hole 631, the first hole wall 6211 and the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 has a certain width; therefore, the hole wall of the third sub-via hole 631 close to the first hole wall 6211 and the first hole wall 6211 need to be in the corresponding position, and the hole wall of the third sub-via hole 631 close to the second hole wall 6212 and the second hole wall 6212 also need to be in the corresponding position; for example, they can all be away from the edge of the first substrate 1, or they can all be close to the edge of the first substrate 1.

[0179] In the present example embodiment, in the first direction X, the distance between the orthogonal projection of the hole wall of the second via hole 6a2 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 and the orthogonal projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 is less than or equal to 0.5 microns, for example, the distance between the orthogonal projection of the hole wall of the second via hole 6a2 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 and the orthogonal projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 can be 0.05 microns, 0.1 microns, 0.15 microns, 0.2 microns, 0.25 microns, 0.3 microns, 0.35 microns, 0.4 microns, 0.45 microns, etc.

[0180] If the distance between the orthogonal projection of the hole wall of the second via hole 6a2 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 and the orthogonal projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 is too large, the second via hole 6a2 will deviate too far from the center of the third via hole 621 or the second via hole 6a2 will not deviate from the center of the third via hole 621, resulting in a larger second via hole 6a2, which cannot achieve the purpose of reducing the second via hole 6a2 to reduce the second connecting portion 82 while increasing the pixel electrode 84, and low-frequency flicker will still occur.

[0181] It should be noted that, since the second via hole 6a2 can include the second sub-via hole 612 and the fourth sub-via hole 632, in the case where a part of the second via hole 6a2 is offset to the outside of the third via hole 621, the second sub-via hole 612 will not be offset to the outside of the third via hole 621 due to the shielding of the second insulating layer 62, in which case, the hole wall of the second sub-via hole 612 close to the second hole wall 6212 is substantially flush with the second hole wall 6212, and the above numerical range can refer to the distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the fourth sub-via hole 632 close to the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1.

[0182] The distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the second via hole 6a2 close to the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 is greater than or equal to 1 microns and less than or equal to 2.5 microns, for example, the distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the second via hole 6a2 close to the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 can be 1.2 microns, 1.5 microns, 1.7 microns, 2 microns, 2.3 microns, etc.

[0183] If the distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the second via hole 6a2 close to the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 is too small, the difficulty of the alignment process will be increased, thereby increasing the preparation cost.

[0184] If the distance between the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the second via hole 6a2 close to the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hole wall 6211 on the first substrate 1 is too large, the third via hole 621 needs to be increased, which is not conducive to the layout of other structures on the array substrate 100, or the second via hole 6a2 needs to be reduced, which is easy to cause the second via hole 6a2 and the third via hole 621 to be unable to communicate.

[0185] The above numerical range not only will not increase the difficulty of the alignment process and the preparation cost, but also can meet the requirement of the alignment deviation of the two times of patterning process and ensure the communication between the second via hole 6a2 and the third via hole 621.

[0186] It should be noted that, since the hole wall of the second sub-via hole 612, the hole wall of the fourth sub-via hole 632, the first hole wall 6211 and the second hole wall 6212 are generally all inclined, the orthographic projection of the hole wall of the fourth sub-via hole 632, the first hole wall 6211 and the second hole wall 6212 on the first substrate 1 has a certain width; therefore, the hole wall of the fourth sub-via hole 632 close to the first hole wall 6211 and the first hole wall 6211 need to be in the corresponding position, and the hole wall of the fourth sub-via hole 632 close to the second hole wall 6212 and the second hole wall 6212 also need to be in the corresponding position; for example, they can all be away from the edge of the first substrate 1, or they can all be close to the edge of the first substrate 1.

[0187] Specifically, the size of the first sub-via hole 611 in the first direction X is greater than or equal to 2 microns and less than or equal to 15 microns, for example, the size of the first sub-via hole 611 in the first direction X can be 5 microns, 7 microns, 10 microns, 13 microns, etc. The size of the second sub-via hole 612 in the first direction X is greater than or equal to 2 microns and less than or equal to 15 microns, for example, the size of the second sub-via hole 612 in the first direction X can be 5 microns, 7 microns, 10 microns, 13 microns, etc.; reduced by 15%-35% relative to the structure in the prior art.

[0188] The size of the third via hole 621 in the first direction X is greater than or equal to 2 microns and less than or equal to 20 microns, for example, the size of the third via hole 621 in the first direction X can be 5 microns, 7 microns, 10 microns, 13 microns, 15 microns, 18 microns, etc.; reduced by 15%-35% relative to the structure in the prior art.

[0189] The size of the third sub-via hole 631 in the first direction X is greater than or equal to 2 microns and less than or equal to 20 microns, for example, the size of the third sub-via hole 631 in the first direction X can be 5 microns, 7 microns, 10 microns, 13 microns, 15 microns, 18 microns, etc. The size of the fourth sub-via hole 632 in the first direction X is greater than or equal to 2 microns and less than or equal to 20 microns, for example, the size of the fourth sub-via hole 632 in the first direction X can be 5 microns, 7 microns, 10 microns, 13 microns, 15 microns, 18 microns, etc. Reduced by 15%-35% relative to the structure in the prior art.

[0190] The array substrate can include a first connection structure 11 and a second connection structure 12; the first connection structure can include a first via 6a1 and a third via 621; the second connection structure can include a second via 6a2 and a third via 621. In the example embodiment, the first connection part 81, the third via 621 and the first via 6a1 are included in the first connection structure 11, that is, the first connection structure 11 can include the first connection part 81 and the third via 621 and the first via 6a1 which are in communication with each other; the second connection part 82, the third via 621 and the second via 6a2 are included in the second connection structure 12, that is, the second connection structure 12 can include the second connection part 82, the third via 621 and the second via 6a2 which are in communication with each other.

[0191] Referring to Figure 20 and Figure 21 , one touch electrode 71 is connected to one touch signal line 51 through the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12 arranged alternately, so that one second connection structure 12 is arranged between two adjacent first connection structures 11, and one first connection structure 11 is arranged between two adjacent second connection structures 12; for example, the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12 can each be arranged as ten; referring to Figure 20 , the starting one can be the first connection structure 11; referring to Figure 21 , the starting one can be the second connection structure 12.

[0192] In some example embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 22 , at least two first connection structures 11 are included in the first connection group 14, that is, the first connection group 14 can include at least two first connection structures 11, for example, the first connection group 14 can include two first connection structures 11, and the first connection group 14 can also include three or more first connection structures 11. At least two second connection structures 12 are included in the second connection group 15, that is, the second connection group 15 can include at least two second connection structures 12, for example, the second connection group 15 can include two second connection structures 12, and the second connection group 15 can also include three or more second connection structures 12.

[0193] One touch electrode 71 is connected to one touch signal line 51 through the first connection group 14 and the second connection group 15 arranged alternately, so that one second connection group 15 is arranged between two adjacent first connection groups 14, and one first connection group 14 is arranged between two adjacent second connection groups 15; the starting group can be the first connection group 14; the starting group can also be the second connection group 15.

[0194] In some example embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 23As shown, one touch electrode 71 is connected with at least two touch signal lines 51, and the at least two touch signal lines 51 can be connected in parallel, for example, one touch electrode 71 can be connected with two touch signal lines 51, and one touch electrode 71 can also be connected with three or more touch signal lines 51.

[0195] Each touch signal line 51 is connected to the touch electrode 71 through the alternately arranged first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12. For example, in the case where one touch electrode 71 is connected with two touch signal lines 51, the two touch signal lines 51 include a first touch signal line 511 and a second touch signal line 512, the first touch signal line 511 is connected to the touch electrode 71 through the alternately arranged first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12, and the second touch signal line 512 is also connected to the touch electrode 71 through the alternately arranged first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12. So that one second connection structure 12 is arranged between two adjacent first connection structures 11, and one first connection structure 11 is arranged between two adjacent second connection structures 12; the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12 connected to each touch signal line 51 can be arranged as ten; the starting one can be the first connection structure 11; the starting one can be the second connection structure 12. Moreover, the starting connection structure of the adjacent two touch signal lines 51 can be the same or different.

[0196] In some example embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 24 As shown, at least two first connection structures 11 are included in the first connection group 14, that is, the first connection group 14 can include at least two first connection structures 11, for example, the first connection group 14 can include two first connection structures 11, and the first connection group 14 can also include three or more first connection structures 11. At least two second connection structures 12 are included in the second connection group 15, that is, the second connection group 15 can include at least two second connection structures 12, for example, the second connection group 15 can include two second connection structures 12, and the second connection group 15 can also include three or more second connection structures 12.

[0197] One touch electrode 71 is connected with at least two touch signal lines 51, and the at least two touch signal lines 51 can be connected in parallel, for example, one touch electrode 71 can be connected with two touch signal lines 51, and one touch electrode 71 can also be connected with three or more touch signal lines 51.

[0198] Each touch signal line 51 is connected to the touch electrode 71 through the first connection group 14 and the second connection group 15 arranged alternately. For example, in the case that one touch electrode 71 is connected with two touch signal lines 51, the two touch signal lines 51 include a first touch signal line 511 and a second touch signal line 512, the first touch signal line 511 is connected to the touch electrode 71 through the first connection group 14 and the second connection group 15 arranged alternately, and the second touch signal line 512 is also connected to the touch electrode 71 through the first connection group 14 and the second connection group 15 arranged alternately. One second connection group 15 is arranged between two adjacent first connection groups 14, and one first connection group 14 is arranged between two adjacent second connection groups 15; the first connection group 14 and the second connection group 15 connected to each touch signal line 51 can be arranged as ten; the starting one can be the first connection group 14; the starting one can be the second connection group 15. Moreover, the starting connection structure of the adjacent two touch signal lines 51 can be the same or different.

[0199] Alternatively, the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12 connected to the adjacent two touch signal lines 51 are arranged staggeredly, that is, the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12 connected to the adjacent two touch signal lines 51 are not arranged oppositely, so as to avoid the mutual influence between the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12.

[0200] In some example embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 1, Figures 25-27 As shown in FIG. 1, the fourth via hole 6a3 can include a seventh sub-via hole 613 arranged on the first insulating layer 61 and an eighth sub-via hole 633 arranged on the third insulating layer 63. The orthographic projection of the fourth via hole 6a3 on the first substrate 1 is located in the middle region of the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, that is, the orthographic projection of the fourth via hole 6a3 on the first substrate 1 entirely overlaps with the middle region of the orthographic projection of the third via hole 621 on the first substrate 1, or in other words, the distance between each hole wall of the fourth via hole 6a3 and each hole wall of the third via hole 621 is substantially the same.

[0201] In this case, the third conductive layer 8 can further include a third connection part 83, the third connection part 83 is arranged spaced apart from the pixel electrode 84, the first connection part 81 and the second connection part 82, that is, the third connection part 83 is not connected with the pixel electrode 84, the first connection part 81 and the second connection part 82; the third connection part 83 is connected to the touch electrode 71 and the touch signal line 51 through the fourth via hole 6a3 and the third via hole 621, and the touch signal line 51 can transmit the touch signal to the touch electrode 71.

[0202] The third via hole 621 and the fourth via hole 6a3 are included in the third connection structure 13, specifically, the third connection part 83, the fourth via hole 6a3 and the third via hole 621 are included in the third connection structure 13, that is, the third connection structure 13 can include the third connection part 83, the fourth via hole 6a3 and the third via hole 621.

[0203] Referring to Figure 28 It is shown that the first connection structure 11, the second connection structure 12 and the third connection structure 13 are included in the third connection group 16, that is, the third connection group 16 can include one first connection structure 11, one second connection structure 12 and one third connection structure 13, which can be arranged in the order of the first connection structure 11, the third connection structure 13 and the second connection structure 12, or in the order of the first connection structure 11, the second connection structure 12 and the third connection structure 13. Of course, other arrangements are also possible, which will not be described one by one here.

[0204] Referring to Figure 28 It is shown that one touch electrode 71 is connected to one touch signal line 51 through the third connection group 16, for example, one touch electrode 71 is connected to one touch signal line 51 through one third connection group 16, and one touch electrode 71 is connected to one touch signal line 51 through two or more third connection groups 16.

[0205] Alternatively, referring to Figure 29 It is shown that one touch electrode 71 is connected to at least two touch signal lines 51, for example, one touch electrode 71 can be connected to two touch signal lines 51, and one touch electrode 71 can also be connected to three or more touch signal lines 51.

[0206] Each touch signal line 51 is connected to a touch electrode 71 through a third connection structure 13; for example, in the case where one touch electrode 71 is connected to two touch signal lines 51, the two touch signal lines 51 include a first touch signal line 511 and a second touch signal line 512, the first touch signal line 511 is connected to the touch electrode 71 through the third connection structure 13; the second touch signal line 512 is also connected to the touch electrode 71 through the third connection structure 13.

[0207] In some example embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 30 It is shown that one touch electrode 71 is connected to one touch signal line 51 through a plurality of connection structures; the two ends of the plurality of connection structures are third connection structures 13, and the remaining connection structures include first connection structures 11 and second connection structures 12; the first connection structures 11 and the second connection structures 12 can be arranged in an overlapping manner.

[0208] Alternatively, referring to Figure 31As shown in FIG. 1, the middle of the plurality of connection structures is the third connection structure 13, and the remaining connection structures include the first connection structure 11 and the second connection structure 12.
