[0030] To make the purposes, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0031] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a touch display module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the touch display module includes: a display component 1; a touch electrode layer 2, the touch electrode layer 2 is adhered to the surface or inside of the display component 1; a driving chip 3, the driving chip 3 is electrically connected to the display component 1 and the touch electrode layer 2, and is used to time-share drive the display component 1 and the touch electrode layer 2 to realize display function and touch function.

[0032] The display assembly 1 is the core component of the touch display assembly, used to display images or videos. It can be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or other display assembly. The touch electrode layer 2 is a grid or array structure made of conductive material, used to implement the touch function. The touch electrode layer 2 is placed inside the display assembly 1 using on-cell technology or placed on the surface of the display assembly 1 using external technology.

[0033] The driving chip 3 controls the display electrodes and the touch electrode layer 2 in the display component 1 by a time-sharing driving method. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, when the control signal is at a high level, the display electrodes in the display component 1 are controlled to work to realize the display function. When the control signal is at a low level, the touch electrode layer 2 is controlled to work to realize the touch function.

[0034] The touch display assembly disclosed herein uses a single driver chip 3 to time-share drive the display assembly 1 and touch electrode layer 2. This allows the display electrodes in the display assembly 1 and the touch electrodes in the touch electrode layer 2 to operate independently, eliminating the formation of parasitic capacitance at the source. This effectively prevents electromagnetic noise generated by the operation of the display assembly 1 from interfering with the touch electrodes, ensuring precise and stable touch control. Furthermore, this design eliminates the need for noise suppression algorithms and the need for separate control of the driver chip 3 and its surrounding electronic components for the touch electrodes, reducing software and hardware resource consumption and manufacturing costs.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch display module further includes: a display flexible circuit board 4 for connecting the driver chip 3 and the display component 1; and a touch flexible circuit board 5 for connecting the driver chip 3 and the touch electrode layer 2.

The touch flexible circuit board 5 connects the driver chip 3 with the touch electrode layer 2, transmitting the touch control signals generated by the driver chip 3 to the touch electrodes of the touch electrode layer 2 to implement the touch function. The use of flexible circuit boards can make the resulting touch display module more lightweight.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the display component 1 includes an upper polarizer 11, a liquid crystal module 12 and a lower polarizer 13. The upper polarizer 11 and the lower polarizer 13 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the liquid crystal module 12; they are used to control the polarization direction of light so that light in a specific direction passes through the liquid crystal module 12 to form an image.

[0038] As light passes through upper polarizer 11, liquid crystal module 12, and lower polarizer 13, only light with a specific polarization direction is visible to the observer. By controlling the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules in liquid crystal module 12, the direction of light is changed, resulting in different transmittances and colors in different areas, thus forming various images.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch display module further includes an optical adhesive layer 6 for connecting the touch electrode layer 2 and the display component 1 .

In one embodiment, the optical adhesive layer 6 is an optically clear adhesive (OCA) layer.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch display module further includes a touch cover layer 7 ; the touch cover layer 7 covers the touch electrode layer 2 and the optical adhesive layer 6 to protect the touch electrode layer 2 .

[0043] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 As shown, the touch electrode layer 2 is disposed on the upper surface of the upper glass layer 121 .

[0044] When the touch electrode layer 2 is placed inside the display assembly 1 , that is, the touch electrode layer 2 is connected to the display assembly 1 through the On-Cell technology, the touch assembly is disposed on the upper side of the upper glass layer 121 .

[0045] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the liquid crystal unit 122 includes an upper alignment film 1221 , a liquid crystal layer 1222 , a lower alignment film 1223 and a display electrode 1224 .
