"Connect" or "connected" and other similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Inside", "outside", "upper", "lower", etc. are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0077] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the figures in the accompanying drawings do not reflect the actual scale, and are only intended to illustrate the present disclosure. The same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions.

[0078] The present disclosure provides a touch display panel, including a display panel 100 and a touch layer 200 located on a light emitting side of the display panel 100. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the planar structure of the touch display panel, the display panel 100 includes a display area AA and a non-display area BB surrounding the display area AA, the display area AA generally includes a plurality of sub-pixel areas and a spacing area separating the plurality of sub-pixel areas from each other, the non-display area BB includes at least one blocking wall arranged around the display area AA, the embodiment of the present disclosure takes two blocking walls as an example, such as a first blocking wall Dam1 close to the display area AA and a second blocking wall Dam2 located on a side of the first blocking wall Dam1 away from the display area AA, the setting of the blocking walls can improve the water and oxygen barrier performance of the display panel 100.

[0079] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 1Schematic cross-section of a partial sub-pixel region within the display area AA. The display panel 100 includes: a driving backplane 1, a pixel definition layer 2 located between the driving backplane 1 and the touch layer 200, a light-emitting functional layer 3 located between the pixel definition layer 2 and the touch layer 200, and a packaging layer 4 located between the light-emitting functional layer 3 and the touch layer 200. Among them, the pixel definition layer 2 includes a plurality of second openings 201 corresponding one-to-one with the sub-pixel regions. The light-emitting functional layer 3 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 31. The light-emitting units 31 are located within the second openings 201 and correspond one-to-one with the second openings 201. The light-emitting unit 31 may include an anode layer 311, an organic light-emitting layer 312, and a cathode layer 313 sequentially stacked on the driving backplane 1. The anode layer 311 is generally fabricated before the pixel definition layer 2. The packaging layer 4 in the embodiments of the present disclosure can not only isolate the light-emitting functional layer 3 from the outside world, preventing water and oxygen from invading the organic light-emitting layer 312 in the light-emitting functional layer 3 of the display panel 100 and affecting the service life of the display panel, but also the surface of the packaging layer 4 facing away from the driving backplane 1 is flat, enabling subsequent deposited films (such as the touch layer) to be fabricated on a flat surface, which is more conducive to improving the touch display effect of the touch display panel.

[0080] It should be noted that the light-emitting units in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be OLED devices or Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes (QLED) devices, etc., and no specific limitation is made thereto.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the driving backplane 1 includes: a substrate 11, a buffer layer 12, an active layer 13, a first gate insulating layer 14, a first gate metal layer 15, a second gate insulating layer 16, a second gate metal layer 17, an interlayer dielectric layer 18, a first source-drain metal layer 19 (SD1), a passivation layer 20, a first planarization layer 21, a second source-drain metal layer 22 (SD2), a second planarization layer 23, a third source-drain metal layer 24 (SD3), and a third planarization layer 25, which are sequentially stacked between the substrate 11 and the light-emitting functional layer 3. Among them, the anode layer 311 can be electrically connected to the source or drain of the first source-drain metal layer 19 through a lap electrode located on the second source-drain metal layer 22.

[0083] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown, the first source / drain metal layer 19 is generally used to form the source electrode, drain electrode, data line, etc. The second source / drain metal layer 22 is generally used as the bonding electrode for the bonding anode layer 311 and the source / drain electrode. The third source / drain metal layer 24 generally uses the FIAA technology for narrow border products. This technology adds a third source / drain metal layer 24 and a third planarization layer 25. The third source / drain metal layer 24 is mainly used for routing data signals in the fanout area of the display panel 100 to achieve a narrow border design for the lower border.

[0084] In some embodiments, in the touch display panel provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 1-3 shown, Figure 3 For Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view along the CC' direction in. The encapsulation layer 4 may include a first inorganic layer 41, an organic material layer 42, and a second inorganic layer 43 stacked. The first dam Dam1 and the second dam Dam2 may both be formed by stacking sub-dams provided on the same layer as the planarization layer (such as the first planarization layer 21 and the second planarization layer 23) and the pixel defining layer 2 in the display area AA. The height of the first dam Dam1 is generally less than the height of the second dam Dam2. For example, the first dam Dam1 is formed by stacking sub-dams 001 and 002 provided on the same layer as the second planarization layer 23 and the pixel defining layer 2 in the display area AA, and the second dam Dam2 is formed by stacking sub-dams 001, 002, and 003 provided on the same layer as the first planarization layer 21, the second planarization layer 23, and the pixel defining layer 2 in the display area AA. The edge of the organic material layer 42 of the encapsulation layer 4 terminates inside the first dam Dam1 closest to the display area AA.

[0085] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a touch layer 200 is formed on the encapsulation layer 4 of the display panel 100. The touch layer 200 includes touch electrodes located in the display area AA and arranged around the sub-pixel area. Specifically, the touch layer 200 includes a touch buffer layer 5, a first metal layer 6, a touch insulating layer 7, and a second metal layer 8 stacked, and the touch buffer layer 5 is close to the display panel 100;

[0086] The second metal layer 8 includes touch electrodes. The touch electrodes include a plurality of first touch electrodes 81 arranged along the first direction X and a plurality of second touch electrodes 82 arranged along the second direction Y.

[0087] The first touch electrode 81 includes a plurality of first electrode blocks 811 arranged along the second direction Y, and adjacent two first electrode blocks 811 are electrically connected through a first connection part 91. The second touch electrode 82 includes a plurality of second electrode blocks 821 arranged along the first direction X, and adjacent two second electrode blocks 821 are electrically connected through a second connection part 92;

[0088] The first connection part 91 can be located in the second metal layer 8, that is, the first electrode block 811, the second electrode block 821 and the first connection part 91 are arranged in the same layer. The second connection part 92 can be located in the first metal layer 6; in the subsequent introduction, the film layer where the first electrode block 811, the second electrode block 821 and the first connection part 91 are located is called the TMB layer, and the film layer where the second connection part 92 is located is called the TMA layer.

[0089] The first electrode block 811, the second electrode block 821, the first connection part 91 and the second connection part 92 are respectively grid-like structures arranged around the sub-pixel region.

[0090] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the non-display area BB can be divided into four border areas: upper, lower, left and right. The lower border area generally includes a bonding area B1. The touch layer 200 further includes a touch lead 210 electrically connected to the first touch electrode 81 and the second touch electrode 82. The touch lead 210 extends from the display area AA to the bonding area B1 in the lower border; the touch lead 210 is generally located between the first dam Dam1 and the display area AA in the upper, left and right borders. The touch lead 210 needs to cross the first dam Dam1 and the second dam Dam2 and extend to the bonding area B1 in the lower border.

For example, the touch lead 210 includes a first sub-lead located in the TMA layer and a second sub-lead located in the TMB layer. The first sub-lead and the second sub-lead are electrically connected through a via hole penetrating the touch insulating layer 7 to reduce the resistance of the touch lead 210; the part of the touch lead 210 located in the bending area BD generally jumps to the SD2 layer, and the part of the touch lead 210 located in the bonding area B1 jumps to the TMA layer and the TMB layer again, that is, the part of the touch lead 210 located in the bonding area B1 adopts the electrically connected first sub-lead and second sub-lead again. It should be noted that Figure 3 only the second sub-lead of the touch lead 210 located in the TMB layer is shown.

[0092] It should be noted that the touch leads 210 can also adopt single-layer routing. For example, a part of the touch leads 210 is arranged on the TMA layer, and a part of the touch leads 210 is arranged on the TMB layer, which can save the routing space.

[0093] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 shown, the bonding area B1 includes a driving chip (IC) area and a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) area.

The first refractive index layer 30 includes a convex structure 32 corresponding to each sub-pixel area and a first structure 33 in the spacer area. The first structure 33 covers the touch electrodes (81 / 82); the touch display panel further includes a black matrix 40 on the side of the first structure 33 facing away from the display panel 100, and a second refractive index layer 50 on the side of the black matrix 40 facing away from the display panel 100; wherein, the orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100 covers the orthographic projection of the touch electrodes (81 / 82) on the display panel 100, that is, the orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100 covers the orthographic projection of the spacer area between the sub-pixel areas on the display panel 100; the second refractive index layer 50 at least covers the top surface 321 of the convex structure 32 facing away from the display panel 100 and the side surface 322 connected to the top surface 321. The refractive index of the first refractive index layer 30 is greater than the refractive index of the second refractive index layer 50, so that a high-low refractive index interface formed by the first refractive index layer 30 and the second refractive index layer 50 can be formed at the edge of the sub-pixel area.

[0098] On one hand, for the touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by utilizing the refractive index difference between the first refractive index layer with a high refractive index and the second refractive index layer with a low refractive index, the light emitted by the light-emitting unit undergoes refraction at the interface between the first refractive index layer and the second refractive index layer, enabling more light to exit from the corresponding sub-pixel region, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency. On the other hand, the first refractive index layer of the present disclosure is formed before the black matrix. Compared with the case where the first refractive index layer is fabricated after the black matrix, the convex structure of the present disclosure can avoid the openings of the black matrix. That is, when fabricating the convex structure of the present disclosure, there is no influence of the black matrix pattern around it, and the slope angle morphology around the convex structure can be better controlled (for example, the symmetry of the relatively arranged slope angles is better), which is beneficial to improving the light extraction efficiency, thereby reducing the L-Decay (the light luminance attenuation curve of the display panel with the viewing angle) of the touch display panel and reducing problems such as color shift.

[0099] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100 covers the orthographic projection of the top surface 331 of the first structure 33 facing away from the display panel 100 on the display panel 100. Specifically, by arranging the first refractive index layer 30 to cover the first structure 33 covering the touch electrode, it is possible to avoid the influence of the developer during the subsequent fabrication of the black matrix 40 and other film layers on the touch electrode, such as corrosion.

[0100] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the cross-section of the convex structure 32 is a regular trapezoid. Since the refractive index of the first refractive index layer 30 is greater than that of the second refractive index layer 50, it is similar to forming a convex lens structure above the sub-pixel region, and this structure can condense the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 31, improving the light extraction efficiency.

[0101] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the cross-section of the first structure 33 is a regular trapezoid. The first structure 33 and the convex structure 32 are arranged at intervals, and the thickness of the first structure 33 and the thickness of the convex structure 32 can be the same. Of course, the thickness of the first structure 33 and the thickness of the convex structure 32 can have an error of ±5%.

[0102] It should be noted that the above-mentioned regular trapezoid refers to a shape similar to a regular trapezoid. Due to the influence of the manufacturing process, the surfaces of the convex structure 32 and the first structure 33 facing away from the display panel 100 in the cross-section may be arc-shaped.

[0103] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2As shown, the positive projection of the second refractive index layer 50 on the display panel 100 can cover the display area AA of the display panel 100. Specifically, the material of the second refractive index layer 50 can be an organic material such as epoxy resin, and the material of the first refractive index layer 30 can be an organic material such as epoxy resin doped with inorganic ions such as zirconia to increase the refractive index of the first refractive index layer 30. For example, the refractive index of the first refractive index layer 30 is generally greater than 1.8, and the refractive index of the second refractive index layer 50 is generally 1.4 to 1.5, thereby forming a high-low refractive index interface and improving the light extraction efficiency.

[0104] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, it further includes a color filter layer 60 located on the side of the second refractive index layer 50 facing away from the display panel 100. The color filter layer 60 includes color filter structures (R, G, B) corresponding to the sub-pixel regions one by one. Specifically, there are multiple sub-pixel regions in the display area of the display panel 100, such as a red sub-pixel region, a green sub-pixel region, and a blue sub-pixel region. The color filter structures correspondingly include a red color filter structure (such as a red color film R), a green color filter structure (such as a green color film G), and a blue color filter structure (such as a blue color film B). On the one hand, the color filter structure can filter the emitted light to improve the color purity of the emitted light. On the other hand, the color filter structure can filter the external light, reduce the ambient light entering the touch display panel, and further reduce the reflection of the touch display panel to the ambient light, thereby improving the user experience.

[0105] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the black matrix 40 encloses a plurality of first openings 401 corresponding to the sub-pixel regions one by one, and each color filter structure (R, G, B) is located in the corresponding first opening 401 region, that is, the adjacent color filter structures (R, G, B) are not in close contact.

[0106] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the distance between the positive projection boundary of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100 and the positive projection boundary of the first refractive index layer 30 on the display panel 100 can be 0.5 to 1 μm.

[0107] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the thickness of the first refractive index layer 30 can be 2 to 3.5 μm, and the thickness of the black matrix 40 can be 1.2 to 1.8 μm.

[0108] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the first refractive index layer 30 is located at the edge of the non-display area BB and ends at the side of the dam (i.e., the first dam Dam1) closest to the display area AA facing the display area AA, and the black matrix 40 is located at the edge of the non-display area BB and ends at the side of the dam (i.e., the first dam Dam1) closest to the display area AA facing the display area AA. Specifically, due to the setting of the first dam Dam1, the step difference between the side of the first dam Dam1 close to the display area AA and the first dam Dam1 is relatively large, which easily leads to the risk of peeling of the black matrix 40. In the present disclosure, by forming the first refractive index layer 30 with a relatively large thickness before the black matrix 40, the first refractive index layer 30 can reduce the step difference between the side of the first dam Dam1 close to the display area AA and the first dam Dam1. Thus, when the black matrix 40 is formed, the black matrix 40 will not accumulate thickly in the step difference area, so that the black matrix 40 can be completely exposed during exposure, avoiding the peeling of the black matrix 40 during development and improving the performance of the touch display panel.

[0109] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the black matrix 40 is disposed substantially flush with the edge of the non-display area BB where the first refractive index layer 30 is located at the edge of the non-display area BB, for example, with a deviation of ±5% in width left and right.

[0110] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the slope angles of the convex structure 32 and the first structure 33 can be 50 to 80°, and the light extraction efficiency corresponding to the slope angles in this range is relatively good.

[0111] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, the orthographic projection boundary of the convex structure 32 on the display panel 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the pixel defining layer 2 on the display panel 100, so that the convex structure 32 can completely cover the sub-pixel area, which is beneficial to converging the light emitted by the light emitting units 31 in the sub-pixel area.

[0112] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2As shown, the distance a between the orthographic projection boundary of the convex structure 32 on the display panel 100 and the orthographic projection boundary of the inner wall of the second opening 201 on the display panel 100 can be 1 - 2 μm, and the distance b between the orthographic projection boundary of the first structure 33 on the display panel 100 and the orthographic projection boundary of the inner wall of the second opening 201 on the display panel 100 can be 5 - 7 μm. In this way, on the one hand, it is ensured that the convex structure 32 can completely cover the sub-pixel area, and on the other hand, it is ensured that the convex structure 32 and the first structure 33 are spaced apart.

[0113] In some embodiments, in the above touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, it further includes a touch protection layer 400 located on the side of the color filter structure (R, G, B) away from the display panel 100. The touch protection layer 400 can protect the color filter structure (R, G, B), thereby protecting the display effect of the touch display panel and improving the reliability of the touch display panel; the material of the touch protection layer 400 can be an organic material, such as PI, etc.

[0114] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a touch display panel, as Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 shown, the structure of the touch display panel is basically the same as that of Figure 2 shown, the difference between the two is only the structure of the color filter structure (R, G, B), and the other film layer structures are the same, and it has Figure 2 the same technical effects as the touch display panel shown. Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, adjacent color filter structures (R, G, B) are in contact with each other, and the orthographic projection of the contact boundary of adjacent color filter structures (R, G, B) on the display panel 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100.

[0115] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a touch display panel, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, Figure 6 is Figure 5 the top view corresponding to the touch display panel shown, Figure 5 shown, the structure of the touch display panel is basically the same as that of Figure 2 shown, the difference between the two is only the structure of the black matrix 40, and the other film layer structures are the same, and it has Figure 2 the same technical effects as the touch display panel shown. Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, the orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100 also covers the orthographic projection of the side surface 332 connected to the top surface 331 of the first structure 33 on the display panel 100. In this way, in the off-screen state, when external light shines on the touch display panel, the ambient light reflected through the internal structure of the touch display panel can be reduced, making the screen in the off-screen state darker and improving the contrast ratio.

[0116] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the distance c between the orthographic projection boundary of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100 and the orthographic projection boundary of the inner wall of the second opening 201 on the display panel 100 can be 4 - 6 μm.

[0117] It should be noted that Figure 5 the color filter structures (R, G, B) in the touch display panel shown can also be in contact settings.

[0118] In some embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a touch display panel. As Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 the structure of the touch display panel shown is basically the same as that of Figure 2 shown. The difference between the two is only the structure of the first refractive index layer 30, and the structures of the other film layers are the same, and they have Figure 2 the same technical effects as the touch display panel shown. Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, the first refractive index layer 30 includes a convex structure 32 located in each sub-pixel region and a first structure 33 located in the spacer region. The first structure 33 covers the touch electrodes (81 / 82). The first refractive index layer 30 further includes a second structure 34 located in each sub-pixel region and between the convex structure 32 and the touch layer 200. The thickness of the second structure 34 is the same as that of the first structure 33, and the convex structure 32, the second structure 34, and the first structure 33 are an integral structure. In this way, the second structure 34 and the first structure 33 are equivalent to a flat layer under the convex structure 32. The first refractive index layer 30 can be fabricated using the half tone mask process, that is, a structure with a convex structure 32 is prepared in the sub-pixel region, and the second structure 34 and the first structure 33 between the convex structure 32 and the touch layer 200 are prepared in the sub-pixel region and the spacer region; then the black matrix 40 is prepared on the first structure 33 above the touch electrode region.

[0119] It should be noted that Figure 7 the color filter structures (R, G, B) in the touch display panel shown can also be in contact settings.

[0120] In some embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a touch display panel. As Figure 8 shown, Figure 8The structure of the touch display panel shown is the same as that of Figure 2 the structure shown. The difference between the two lies only in the structure of the second refractive index layer 50, and the structures of the other film layers are the same, and it has Figure 2 the same technical effects as the touch display panel shown. Specifically, as Figure 8 shown, the second refractive index layer 50 includes color filter structures (R, G, B) provided in one-to-one correspondence with the sub-pixel regions. The color filter structures (R, G, B) cover the top surface 321 of the convex structure 32 facing away from the display panel 100 and the side surface 322 connected to the top surface 321. Specifically, the color filter structures (R, G, B) are the same as the structures Figure 2 shown in the foregoing. Since the refractive index of the color filter structures (R, G, B) is generally 1.6 - 1.7, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the color filter structures (R, G, B) are directly used as the low refractive index layer. In this way, when the color filter structures (R, G, B) directly cover the convex structure 32, a high-low refractive index interface can also be formed above the sub-pixel region, that is, a structure similar to a convex lens structure is formed, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency. Therefore, compared with Figure 2 the structure shown, the structure of this embodiment of the present disclosure Figure 8 shown can save Figure 2 the manufacturing of the second refractive index layer 50 in, can reduce one Mask, and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0121] It should be noted that Figure 8 the orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 in the touch display panel shown on the display panel 100 can also cover the orthographic projection of the side surface 332 connected to the top surface 331 of the first structure 33 on the display panel 100.

[0122] In some embodiments, this embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a touch display panel, as Figure 9 shown, Figure 9 the structure of the touch display panel shown is the same as that of Figure 8 the structure shown. The difference between the two lies only in the structure of the second refractive index layer 50, and the structures of the other film layers are the same. It not only has Figure 2 the same technical effects as the touch display panel shown, but also can reduce one Mask. Specifically, as Figure 9 shown, adjacent color filter structures (R, G, B) are in contact with each other, and the orthographic projection of the contact boundary of the adjacent color filter structures (R, G, B) on the display panel 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 on the display panel 100.

[0123] It should be noted that Figure 9The orthographic projection of the black matrix 40 in the touch display panel shown on the display panel 100 may also cover the orthographic projection of the side surface 332 connected to the top surface 331 of the first structure 33 on the display panel 100.

[0124] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a touch display panel, as Figure 10 shown, Figure 10 the structure of the touch display panel shown is basically the same as that of Figure 8 the structure shown, the difference between the two is only the structure of the first refractive index layer 30, and the structures of the remaining film layers are the same. It not only has Figure 2 the same technical effects as the touch display panel shown, but also can reduce one Mask. Specifically, as Figure 10 shown, Figure 10 the structure of the first refractive index layer 30 in Figure 7 can refer to the structure of the first refractive index layer 30 shown.

[0125] It should be noted that Figure 10 the color filter structures (R, G, B) in the touch display panel shown may also be in contact setting.

The photoresist fully retained area 501 corresponds at least to the sub-pixel area, the photoresist semi-retained area 502 corresponds at least to the spacer area, and the photoresist fully removed area corresponds at least to Figure 3 the area where the barriers (Dam1 and Dam2) in the non-display area BB in

[0147] It should be noted that Figure 10 the manufacturing method of the touch control display panel shown is basically the same as the manufacturing method shown in Figure 7 , the difference is that when manufacturing the touch control display panel shown in Figure 10 , there is no need to manufacture the second refractive index layer 50 in Figure 7 , and the color filter structures (R, G, B) are used as the second refractive index layer 50.

[0148] It should be noted that Figure 2 the manufacturing method of the touch control display panel shown is the same asFigure 7 The manufacturing methods shown are basically the same, except that Figure 2 for the first refractive index layer 30 in the touch display panel shown, a common exposure and development process can be directly used, without the need to adopt a halftone mask process.

[0149] It should be noted that Figure 4 the manufacturing method of the touch display panel shown is basically the same as that of Figure 7 the manufacturing method shown, except that Figure 4 for the first refractive index layer 30 in the touch display panel shown, a common exposure and development process can be directly used, without the need to adopt a halftone mask process, and Figure 4 the adjacent color filter structures (R, G, B) in

[0150] It should be noted that Figure 5 the manufacturing method of the touch display panel shown is basically the same as that of Figure 7 the manufacturing method shown, except that Figure 5 for the first refractive index layer 30 in the touch display panel shown, a common exposure and development process can be directly used, without the need to adopt a halftone mask process, and Figure 5 the black matrix 40 in

[0151] It should be noted that Figure 8 the manufacturing method of the touch display panel shown is basically the same as that of Figure 7 the manufacturing method shown, except that Figure 8 for the first refractive index layer 30 in the touch display panel shown, a common exposure and development process can be directly used, without the need to adopt a halftone mask process, and when manufacturing Figure 8 the touch display panel shown, there is no need to manufacture Figure 7 the second refractive index layer 50 in
