AI Technical Summary
Smart display devices with touch functions are expensive to produce and have a large product thickness, which is disadvantageous for making the product thinner.
The touch display panel integrates the first and second touch electrodes within the display panel, utilizing the layers inside the display panel as insulating layers, thereby eliminating the need for a separate touch screen and reducing the number of masks required in the manufacturing process.
This approach reduces costs and thickness by integrating the touch electrodes within the display panel, achieving an in-cell touch mode that saves four masks and decreases the overall module thickness.

[Figure 15] 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present application; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0038] In the related art, one of the touch methods commonly implemented in displays is to provide a touch screen between the color filter and polarizer of the display, which is commonly referred to in the industry as an on-cell type.
[0039] 1 is a cross-sectional view of a related art on-cell touch display module, which includes a display panel 101, a filter 102, a touch screen 103, a polarizer 104, and a cover 105, which are stacked in order.
[0040] The touch screen 103 includes a self-capacitance touch screen and a mutual capacitance touch screen. Mutual capacitance touch screens have advantages such as true multi-dot display and fast speed, and are widely adopted. FIG. 2 is a planar structural schematic diagram of a mutual capacitance touch screen in the related art. As shown in FIG. 2, the touch screen 103 includes a first touch electrode 141 and a second touch electrode 142 arranged crosswise, and the first touch electrode 141 and the second touch electrode 142 are arranged to be insulated from each other at the crossing position.
[0041] Specifically, the cross-sectional line A1A2 in Figure 2 corresponds to the cross-sectional structure shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the touch screen 103 includes a first metal layer M1, an insulating layer Ins, a second metal layer M2, and an insulating adhesive layer OC, which are sequentially stacked. At the intersection, the bridging portion of the second touch electrode 142 is located on the first metal layer M1, and the second touch electrode 142 and the first touch electrode 141, excluding the bridging portion, are entirely located on the second metal layer M2. The insulating layer Ins is used to insulate the first touch electrode 141 and the second touch electrode 142 at the intersection.
[0042] In the manufacturing process of the touch screen 103, the four layers of the touch screen 103, namely the first metal layer M1, the insulating layer Ins, the second metal layer M2, and the insulating adhesive layer OC, each require one patterning process, which means that four masks are required in the manufacturing process of the touch screen, which increases the cost. In addition, since the touch screen 103 is integrated, the thickness of the touch display module increases, which is disadvantageous to making the product thinner.
[0043] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a touch display panel, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device, in which the first touch electrode 131 and the second touch electrode 132 are disposed inside the display panel, and layers inside the display panel are used to act as the insulating layer Ins and the insulating adhesive layer OC, thereby realizing an in-cell touch mode, which saves four masks required for the touch screen, reduces costs, and reduces the thickness of the display module.
[0044] Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0045] In addition, in order to better explain the present application, various specific details are shown in the following specific embodiments, but it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced without some specific details. In some examples, methods and means well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to emphasize the gist of the present application.
[0046] In the following drawings, like reference numerals and letters refer to like elements. Therefore, once an element is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or interpreted in subsequent drawings. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," etc. are merely used for distinguishing and describing purposes and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance.
[0047] Fig. 3 is a partial planar structural schematic diagram of a touch display panel according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 4 is a partial enlarged schematic diagram of Fig. 3. Fig. 5A is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram 1 taken along line B1B2 in Fig. 4. As shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5A, the touch display panel includes a substrate 11, an isolation structure layer 12, a plurality of light-emitting elements 13 and a touch electrode 14.
[0048] Here, the substrate 11 may be a base substrate or an array substrate. The array substrate includes a base substrate and pixel circuits integrated on the base substrate. The base substrate may be a flexible substrate such as a polyimide film or ultra-thin glass, or a rigid substrate such as a glass substrate.
[0049] The isolation structure layer 12 is located on one side of the substrate 11, and defines a plurality of isolation openings. The isolation structure layer 12 is for isolating the plurality of light emitting elements 13 from one another.
[0050] For reference, related technical solutions of the isolation structure are described in patents PCT / CN2023 / 134518, 202310759370.2, 202310740412.8, 202310707209.0, and 202311346196.5, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0051] The light-emitting element 13 is located within the isolation opening. The light-emitting element 13 includes a first electrode 131 adjacent to the substrate 11. Exemplarily, the first electrode 131 includes an anode. The light-emitting element 13 further includes a second electrode 133 separated from the substrate 11, and a light-emitting layer 132 located between the second electrode 133 and the first electrode 131. The second electrode 133 is located on the side of the first electrode 131 facing away from the substrate 11. That is, the first electrode 131, the light-emitting layer 132, and the second electrode 133 are sequentially stacked in the direction away from the substrate 11.
[0052] 3 merely exemplarily illustrates some of the light-emitting elements 13 in the touch display panel, and in an actual product, the light-emitting elements 13 are arranged over the entire area covered by the touch electrode 14.
[0053] On the substrate 11, the orthogonal projection of the touch electrode 14 is located in the gap region between the orthogonal projections of the plurality of light-emitting elements 13. Specifically, the touch electrode 14 includes a first touch electrode 141 and a second touch electrode 142. The second touch electrode 142 includes a plurality of body portions 1421 and bridging portions 1422 (illustratively indicated by the line segment ab in FIG. 4 ). The first touch electrode 141 extends along a second direction y parallel to the substrate 11, and the plurality of body portions 1421 are sequentially arranged along a first direction x parallel to the substrate 11. The first direction x and the second direction y intersect, for example, the first direction x is perpendicular to the second direction y. The body portions 1421 and the bridging portions 1422 are disposed on different layers. Adjacent body portions 1421 along the first direction contact the bridging portions 1422 through via holes. On the substrate 11, the orthogonal projection of the connecting portion 1422 and the orthogonal projection of the first touch electrode 141 intersect.
[0054] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the orthogonal projection of the touch electrodes 14 (including the first touch electrode 141 and the second touch electrode 142) on the substrate 11 is in a lattice shape. The shapes of the lattice holes may be the same or different. Each lattice hole surrounds the orthogonal projection of at least one light-emitting element 13 on the substrate 11. The number of light-emitting elements 13 surrounded by different lattice holes may be equal or unequal.
[0055] When each lattice hole surrounds the orthogonal projection of multiple light-emitting elements 13 on the substrate 11, as shown in Figure 5A, on the substrate 11, the orthogonal projection of some of the isolation structure layers 12 covers the orthogonal projection of the touch electrode 14, and the orthogonal projection of the remaining isolation structure layers 12 does not cover the orthogonal projection of the touch electrode 14.
[0056] Fig. 5B is a partial enlarged view of a touch display panel according to another embodiment of the present application, and Fig. 5C is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line D1D2 in Fig. 5B. As shown in Fig. 5B and Fig. 5C, when each lattice hole surrounds the orthogonal projection of one light-emitting element 13 on the substrate 11, the orthogonal projection of the isolation structure layer 12 on the substrate 11 at any position covers the orthogonal projection of the touch electrode 14 on the substrate 11.
[0057] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, each lattice hole in the touch electrode 14 surrounds the orthogonal projections of multiple light-emitting elements 13 on the substrate 11, and multiple light-emitting elements 13 surrounded by the same lattice hole constitute one pixel array repeat unit. The pixel array repeat unit refers to the smallest repeat unit in the pixel array layout. The pixel referred to here is homogeneous with the light-emitting elements 13, i.e., the light-emitting elements 13 may also be referred to as pixels. For example, as shown in Figure 5A, the pixel array repeat unit includes a red light-emitting element R, a green light-emitting element G, and a blue light-emitting element B.
[0058] The bridging portion 1422 includes at least one conductive wire, which extends along the first direction x. If the bridging portion 1422 includes multiple conductive wires, the multiple conductive wires are sequentially arranged along the second direction y. Configuring the bridging portion 1422 with multiple conductive wires is more reliable than configuring it with a single conductive wire.
[0059] 6 is a schematic plan view of the conductive layer where the first electrode is located in the cross-sectional structure shown in FIG. 5A. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 6, in this embodiment, the first touch electrode 141 and the main body 1421 are disposed in the same layer as the first electrode 131. The bridging portion 1422 is disposed in the same layer as the isolation structure layer 12.
[0060] Specifically, the first touch electrode 141 and the main body 1421 both have a lattice structure, and each lattice hole surrounds at least one first electrode 131.
[0061] The isolation structure layer 12 includes a first surface S1 facing the substrate 11 and a second surface S2 facing away from the substrate 11, and the orthogonal projection of the first surface S1 is located within the range of the orthogonal projection of the second surface S2 on the substrate 11. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the isolation structure layer 12 may be an inverted trapezoid or a U-shape.
[0062] The isolation structure layer 12 includes a laminated conductive portion 121 and a flange portion 122, with the conductive portion 121 located on the side of the flange portion 122 closest to the substrate 11. The light-emitting element 13 further includes a second electrode 133 spaced from the substrate 11, with the second electrode 133 overlapping and bonded to the conductive portion 121. The light-emitting element 13 further includes a light-emitting layer 132 located between the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 133. Exemplarily, the conductive portion 121 may be designed as an independent layer, i.e., there is no physical interface within the conductive portion 121, and each portion is made of the same material. Alternatively, the conductive portion 121 may be designed to be configured by laminating at least two layers. For example, the conductive portion 121 may be formed by laminating two conductive layers. The two conductive layers may be made of molybdenum and aluminum, respectively, with the conductive layer made of molybdenum being located between the substrate 11 and the conductive layer made of aluminum. On the substrate 11, the orthogonal projection of the collar portion 122 covers the orthogonal projection of the conductive portion 121. The material of the collar portion 122 may be an organic material, an inorganic material, or a metallic material. When the collar portion 122 is made of a metallic material, the material of the collar portion 122 may be titanium.
[0063] Some of the isolation structure layers 12 include at least one through hole M, for example, a strip-shaped through hole. The bridging portion 1422 is located in the through hole M and is spaced apart from the isolation structure layers 12. In one embodiment, to avoid short-circuiting between the bridging portion 1422 and the conductive portion 121, the touch display panel further includes an insulating portion (not shown) filled in the gap between the isolation structure layers 12 and the bridging portion 1422.
[0064] In one embodiment, the touch display panel further includes a pixel defining layer 17 located on the side of the isolation structure layer 121 facing the substrate 11, and the orthogonal projection of the isolation structure layer 121 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthogonal projection of the pixel defining layer 17. The pixel defining layer 17 defines a pixel opening, and the light-emitting element is also located in the pixel opening. The bridge portion 1422 contacts the body portion 1421 through a via hole T penetrating the pixel defining layer 17.
[0065] According to the touch display panel of this embodiment, the main body 1421 of the first touch electrode 141 and the second touch electrode 142 are disposed in the same layer as the first electrode 131 of the light emitting element 13, and the bridging portion 1422 is disposed in the isolation structure layer 12, thereby realizing an in-cell touch mode. In this case, there is no need to manufacture a separate touch screen, which saves four masks required for the touch screen, reducing costs and reducing the thickness of the touch display module.
[0066] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, the touch display panel further includes a plurality of inorganic sealing units 151, each of which corresponds to one of the isolation openings, and the orthogonal projection of the inorganic sealing units 151 on the substrate 11 covers the orthogonal projection of the isolation opening.
[0067] In one embodiment, the touch display panel further includes an organic encapsulation layer and an inorganic encapsulation layer (not shown) sequentially stacked on the side of the inorganic encapsulation unit 151 facing away from the substrate 11. The organic encapsulation layer covers the orthogonal projection of the inorganic encapsulation unit 151 on the substrate 11, filling the gap between the bridge portion 1422 and the isolation structure layer 12. The orthogonal projection of the inorganic encapsulation layer covers the orthogonal projection of the organic encapsulation layer on the substrate 11.

[0068] Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram 2 of a cross-sectional structure taken along line B1B2 in Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 7, the touch display panel according to this embodiment differs from the touch display panel shown in Fig. 5A in that the positions of the bridge portions 1422 are different.
[0069] 7, in this embodiment, the substrate 11 includes at least one conductive layer, and the bridging portion 1422 is located in one of the conductive layers. Exemplarily, the at least one conductive layer includes a proximal conductive layer 16 that is closest to the isolation structure layer 12, and the bridging portion 1422 is located in the proximal conductive layer 16. When the bridging portion 1422 is located in the proximal conductive layer 16, the distance between the proximal conductive layer 16 and the bridging portion 1422 is shorter than when the bridging portion 1422 is located in another conductive layer in the substrate 11, making it easier to achieve electrical connection.
[0070] Although other conductive structures in the proximal conductive layer 16 are not shown, the proximal conductive layer 16 is illustratively located on the side of the main body portion away from the isolation structure layer. The proximal conductive layer may further include a data signal line, a scanning signal line, an initialization signal line, a power signal line, etc. Furthermore, the bridging portion 1422 may be disposed in a conductive layer other than the proximal conductive layer 16 and may be located in the same conductive layer as at least one of the data signal line, the scanning signal line, the initialization signal line, and the power signal line.
[0071] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram 3 of the cross-sectional structure taken along line B1B2 in Figure 4. Figure 9 is a schematic planar structure diagram of the conductive layer in which the first electrode is located in the cross-sectional structure shown in Figure 8. The touch display panel shown in Figures 8 and 9 differs from the touch display panel shown in Figures 5A and 6 in that, in this embodiment, the first touch electrode 141 and the main body 1421 are arranged in the same layer as the isolation structure layer 12, and the bridging portion 1422 is arranged in the same layer as the first electrode 131, as shown in Figures 3, 8 and 9.
[0072] Specifically, the bridging portion 1422 is located between adjacent first electrodes 131. Exemplarily, the bridging portion 1422 includes at least one conductive wire, and one conductive wire is installed between adjacent first electrodes 131. The conductive wire extends along the first direction x. When the bridging portion 1422 includes multiple conductive wires, the multiple conductive wires are sequentially arranged along the second direction y.

[0074] Specifically, the isolation structure layer 12 includes a first surface S1 facing the substrate 11 and a second surface S2 facing away from the substrate 11, and the orthogonal projection of the first surface S1 on the substrate 11 is located within the range of the orthogonal projection of the second surface S2.
[0075] The isolation structure layer 12 includes a laminated conductive portion 121 and a flange portion 122, with the flange portion 122 located on the side of the conductive portion 121 facing away from the substrate 11. The light-emitting element 13 further includes a second electrode 133 spaced from the substrate 11, with the second electrode 133 overlapping and bonded to the conductive portion 121. Exemplarily, the conductive portion 121 can be designed as an independent layer, i.e., the conductive portion 121 has no internal physical interface and each portion is made of the same material. Alternatively, the conductive portion 121 can be designed to be configured by laminating at least two layers. For example, the conductive portion 121 is formed by laminating two conductive layers. The two conductive layers may be made of molybdenum and aluminum, respectively, with the conductive layer made of molybdenum being located between the substrate 11 and the conductive layer made of aluminum. On the substrate 11, the orthogonal projection of the flange portion 122 covers the orthogonal projection of the conductive portion 121. The material of the collar 122 may be an organic material, an inorganic material, or a metallic material. If the collar 122 is made of a metallic material, the material of the collar 122 may be titanium.
[0076] Some of the isolation structure layers 12 have through holes M, for example, the through holes M are lattice-shaped through holes. The first touch electrodes 141 and the body parts 1421 are located in the through holes M and spaced apart from the isolation structure layers 12. In one embodiment, the touch display panel further includes insulating parts (not shown) filling the gaps between the isolation structure layers 12 and the first touch electrodes 141 and the gaps between the isolation structure layers 12 and the body parts 1421.
[0077] In one embodiment, the touch display panel further includes a pixel defining layer 17 located on the side of the isolation structure layer 12 facing the substrate 11, and the orthogonal projection of the isolation structure layer 12 on the substrate 11 is located within the orthogonal projection of the pixel defining layer 17. The pixel defining layer 17 defines a pixel opening, and the light-emitting element 13 is also located within the pixel opening. The body portion 1421 contacts the bridge portion 1422 through a via hole T penetrating the pixel defining layer 17.
[0078] According to the touch display panel of this embodiment, the first touch electrode 141 and the body portion 1421 of the second touch electrode 142 are disposed within the isolation structure layer 12, and the bridging portion 1422 of the second touch electrode 142 is disposed in the same layer as the first electrode 131 of the light emitting element 13, thereby realizing an in-cell touch mode. In this case, there is no need to manufacture a separate touch screen, which saves four masks required for the touch screen, reducing costs and reducing the thickness of the touch display module.
[0079] Fig. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a fourth embodiment of the present invention taken along line B1B2 in Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 10, the touch display panel differs from the touch display panels shown in Figs. 8 and 9 in that the positions of the bridge portions 1422 are different.

Illustratively, the at least one conductive layer includes a proximal conductive layer 16 that is closest to the isolation structure layer 12, and the bridging portion 1422 is located in the proximal conductive layer 16. The bridging portion 1422 located in the proximal conductive layer 16 makes it easier to achieve electrical connection because the distance between the proximal conductive layer 16 and the bridging portion 1422 is shorter than when the bridging portion 1422 is located in another conductive layer in the substrate 11.
[0081] Although other conductive structures in the adjacent conductive layer 16 are not shown, for example, the adjacent conductive layer may further include a data signal line, a scanning signal line, an initialization signal line, a power signal line, etc. Furthermore, the bridging portion 1422 may be disposed in a conductive layer other than the adjacent conductive layer 16 and may be located in the same conductive layer as at least one of the data signal line, the scanning signal line, the initialization signal line, and the power signal line.

The light-emitting element 13 further includes a second electrode 133 spaced from the substrate 11, with the second electrode 133 overlapping and bonded to the conductive portion 121. Exemplarily, the conductive portion 121 is designed as an independent layer, i.e., the conductive portion 121 has no internal physical interface and each portion is made of the same material. Alternatively, the conductive portion 121 may be designed to be configured by laminating at least two layers. For example, the conductive portion 121 is formed by laminating two conductive layers.

Figs. 14A to 14E are schematic diagrams of intermediate products obtained in the process of performing the manufacturing method shown in Fig. 13. As shown in Fig. 13, the method for manufacturing a touch display panel includes the following steps:
[0098] In step S1310, a plurality of first electrodes and bridge portions are fabricated on a substrate in the same process, with the bridge portions being positioned between adjacent first electrodes.
[0099] Specifically, a vacuum deposition process is performed to deposit a conductive material layer on the substrate 11 shown in FIG. 12A, and a single patterning process is performed on the conductive material layer to obtain a plurality of first electrodes 131 and bridging portions 1422 as shown in FIG. 14A.
