[0053] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , the touch display substrate includes a display substrate 10 and a touch function layer located on one side of the display substrate 10. The touch function layer includes a first touch metal layer 40, an insulating layer 50, and a second touch metal layer 41. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first touch metal layer 40, the insulating layer 50, and the second touch metal layer 41 are stacked sequentially in a direction away from the display substrate 10. In other embodiments, the first touch metal layer 40, the insulating layer 50, and the second touch metal layer 41 may be stacked sequentially in a direction toward the display substrate 10.
[0056] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the planar structure of a touch display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG1 may be a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure at line AA in FIG2 . As shown in FIG1 and FIG2 , the first touch metal layer 40 includes a plurality of conductive bridges 60, and the plurality of conductive bridges 60 are arranged in an array. The second touch metal layer 41 includes a plurality of first electrode structures 42, the plurality of first electrode structures 42 being arranged along a first direction x, and the first electrode structure 42 including a plurality of first electrodes 43 arranged along a second direction y, the first direction x and the second direction y intersecting, and two adjacent first electrodes 43 in the same first electrode structure 42 are respectively connected to a conductive bridge 60 through a via in the insulating layer 50.
[0057] As shown in Figure 2, the second touch metal layer 41 also includes multiple second electrode structures 44, which are arranged along the second direction y. The second electrode structures 44 are insulated from the first electrode structures 42. The second electrode structures 44 include multiple second electrodes 45 arranged along the first direction x and multiple connecting portions 46. Two adjacent second electrodes 44 in the same second electrode structure 44 are connected by a connecting portion 46.
[0058] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first electrode 43 may be a driving electrode (TX), and the second electrode 45 may be a sensing electrode (RX). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the first electrode 43 may be a sensing electrode and the second electrode 45 may be a driving electrode.
[0059] In this way, the specific touch position can be determined by the change in the mutual capacitance at the intersection of the first electrode structure 42 and the second electrode structure 44, so as to realize the touch function.
[0060] As shown in Figure 2, the display substrate 10 has a display area 3 and a peripheral area 4 that are connected. The peripheral area 4 surrounds the display area 3. The display area 3 includes multiple pixels that emit light to form an image on the display side of the display substrate 10. The peripheral area 4 is used for wiring, allowing the touch integrated circuit to send or receive electrical signals from the display area 3 through the wiring. The second touch metal layer 41 also includes multiple first electrode lines 48 and multiple second electrode lines 49. One end of the first electrode line 48 is connected to the upper or lower end of the first electrode structure 42 and is located in the peripheral area 4 at the top, right, and bottom of the display area 3. One end of the second electrode line 49 is connected to the left end of the second electrode structure 44 and is located in the peripheral area 4 at the left and bottom of the display area 3.
[0061] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a touch display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3 , the display area 3 includes a first curved area 20 and a first flat area 30 connected to each other. The minimum distance D between the orthographic projection of the conductive bridge 60 closest to the first curved area 20 on the display substrate 10 and the first curved boundary 1 of the first curved area 20 is greater than zero.
[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the minimum distance D between the orthographic projection of the conductive bridge 60 closest to the first bending area 20 among the multiple conductive bridges 60 on the display substrate 10 and the first bending limit 1 of the first bending area 20 is greater than 0, that is, the conductive bridge 60 avoids the first bending limit 1 area with a larger bending amplitude. Therefore, the probability of the conductive bridge 60 generating cracks and black spots at the via position in the insulating layer 50 due to stress concentration at the first bending limit 1 can be reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the touch display substrate.
[0063] Optionally, the minimum distance D between the orthographic projection of the conductive bridge 60 closest to the first bending region 20 on the display substrate 10 and the first bending limit 1 of the first bending region 20 is greater than or equal to a set distance, and the set distance is in the range of 0.25 mm to 0.35 mm. This ensures that the conductive bridge 60 is farther away from the first bending limit 1.
[0064] For example, the set distance may be 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.35 mm, etc.
[0065] For example, the minimum distance D between the orthographic projection of the conductive bridge 60 closest to the first bending region 20 on the display substrate 10 and the first bending limit 1 of the first bending region 20 may be 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm, or 0.4 mm.
[0066] Optionally, the conductive bridge 60 closest to the first bending area 20 among the plurality of conductive bridges 60 is located in the first flat area 30 or the first bending area 20. In this way, the conductive bridge 60 closest to the first bending area 20 is located in an area with a smaller bending amplitude, which can reduce the probability of cracks and black spots.
[0067] Optionally, the first bending limit 1 is the boundary between the first bending region 20 and the first flat region 30, or the first bending limit 1 is the bending line in the first bending region 20 where the display substrate 10 has the smallest curvature radius, or the first bending limit 1 is the boundary of a region in the first bending region 20 where the display substrate 10 has a curvature radius less than 4.5 mm, and the plurality of conductive bridges 60 are located outside the region where the display substrate 10 has a curvature radius less than 4.5 mm. In this way, the first bending limit 1 is located where the display substrate 10 has a smaller curvature radius and a larger bending amplitude, which facilitates the conductive bridges 60 avoiding the region of the first bending limit 1 where the curvature amplitude is larger.
[0068] Since in some embodiments the area of the first bending region 20 is relatively large, and there is a portion of the display substrate 10 in the first bending region 20 with a curvature radius greater than or equal to 4.5 mm, that is, an area with a relatively small bending amplitude, the conductive bridge 60 is located in this portion of the area with a smaller bending amplitude and is less likely to produce cracks and black spots.
[0069] For example, the area in the first curved region 20 where the curvature radius of the display substrate 10 is less than 4.5 mm may include an area in the first curved region 20 where the curvature radius of the display substrate 10 is 4.2 mm, 4.3 mm, or 4.4 mm. This can reduce the probability of cracks and black spots on the conductive bridge 60 due to stress concentration at the bend, while also preventing the electrode patterns of more first electrodes 43 from being affected by the large area of the first curved region 20.
[0070] FIG4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a dual-folding touch display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The dual-folding touch display substrate can be an outward-bending touch display substrate or an inward-bending touch display substrate. Outward bending refers to bending in which the display side of the display substrate 10 faces the outside of the bending area, and inward bending refers to bending in which the display side of the display substrate 10 faces the inside of the bending area. FIG3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the touch display substrate shown in FIG4 after it is unfolded. As shown in FIG3 and FIG4, the display area 3 also includes a second flat area 31, which is connected to the first bending area 20, and the second flat area 31 and the first flat area 30 are located on opposite sides of the first bending area 20. The multiple conductive bridges 60 include multiple first conductive bridges 61, multiple second conductive bridges 62, and multiple third conductive bridges 63. The multiple first conductive bridges 61 and the multiple second conductive bridges 62 are all located in the first flat area 30, and the multiple second conductive bridges 62 are closest to the first bending area 20. The multiple third conductive bridges 63 are located in the second flat area 31.
[0071] Optionally, the distance D1 between the first conductive bridge 61 and the second conductive bridge 62 adjacent to each other in the second direction y is smaller than the distance D2 between the second conductive bridge 62 and the third conductive bridge 63 adjacent to each other in the second direction y. In this way, in the double-folding touch display substrate, the second conductive bridge 62 closest to the first bending region 20 can avoid the first bending limit 1 with a larger bending amplitude.
[0072] Optionally, the first direction x and the second direction y are perpendicular to each other.
[0073] Optionally, the orthographic projections of the plurality of conductive bridges 60 on the display substrate 10 are located outside the first curved region 20. That is, the plurality of conductive bridges 60 are all located in a relatively flat region, thereby reducing the probability of cracks and black spots.
[0074] As shown in Figure 3, the distance between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x is equal to the distance between two adjacent third conductive bridges 63 in the first direction x, both of which are D3. For example, the distance between two adjacent second conductive bridges 62 in the first direction x is also equal to D3. The distance between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y is equal to the distance between two adjacent third conductive bridges 63 in the second direction y, both of which are D4. In this way, in the dual-folding touch display substrate, the first conductive bridges 61 and the third conductive bridges 63 are arranged at equal distances, which can ensure that the patterns of most of the first electrodes connected by the equally spaced first conductive bridges 61 and the third conductive bridges 63 are the same, and the loop shapes formed are the same, making the capacitance data transmitted by the first electrode structure more uniform.
[0075] Optionally, the sum of the distance D1 between the first conductive bridge 61 and the second conductive bridge 62 adjacent in the second direction y, and the distance D2 between the second conductive bridge 62 and the third conductive bridge 63 adjacent in the second direction y, is equal to twice the distance between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y. In other words, the sum of D1 and D2 is equal to twice D4. This minimizes the difference in the total size of the patterns of the two first electrodes connected by the second conductive bridge 62 from the patterns of the other first electrodes, making the capacitance data transmitted by the first electrode structure more uniform.
[0076] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another dual-folding touch display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5 , the first curved region 20 has a larger area, and the first curved boundary 1 can be the boundary line of the area in the first curved region 20 where the radius of curvature of the display substrate 10 is less than 4.5 mm. In Figure 5 , there are at least two boundaries in the first curved region 20 where the radius of curvature of the display substrate 10 is less than 4.5 mm, and the first curved boundary 1 is the boundary line closest to the first flat region 30.
[0077] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a tri-fold touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 may be a schematic diagram of the structure of the touch display substrate shown in Figure 6 after it is unfolded. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the display area 3 also includes a second curved area 21 and a third flat area 32. The second curved area 21 is connected to the first flat area 30, and the second flat area 32 and the first flat area 31 are located on opposite sides of the second curved area 21. The plurality of conductive bridges 60 also includes a plurality of fourth conductive bridges 64, and the plurality of fourth conductive bridges 64 are located in the third flat area 32.
[0078] Optionally, among the multiple fourth conductive bridges 64, the distance between two adjacent fourth conductive bridges 64 in the second direction y is equal to the distance between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y, both of which are D4, and the minimum distance D' between the positive projection of the conductive bridge 60 closest to the second bending area 21 among the multiple conductive bridges 60 on the display substrate 10 and the second bending limit 2 of the second bending area 21 is greater than 0.
[0079] Optionally, a minimum distance D′ between an orthographic projection of a conductive bridge 60 closest to the second bending region 21 among the plurality of conductive bridges 60 on the display substrate 10 and the second bending limit 2 of the second bending region 21 is greater than or equal to a set distance.

[0081] In this way, in the tri-fold touch display substrate, the fourth conductive bridge 64 in the third flat area 32 can avoid the second bending limit 2 with a larger bending amplitude.
[0082] Exemplarily, the distance between two adjacent fourth conductive bridges 64 in the first direction x is equal to the distance between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x, and both are D3.
[0083] In other embodiments, the second curved area 21 is connected to the second flat area 31 and the second flat area 31 and the third flat area 32 are located on opposite sides of the second curved area 21 .

As shown in Figure 8, the plurality of conductive bridges 60 further include a plurality of fourth conductive bridges 64 and a plurality of fifth conductive bridges 65. The plurality of fourth conductive bridges 64 and the plurality of fifth conductive bridges 65 are both located in the third flat region 32, with the plurality of fifth conductive bridges 65 being closest to the second curved region 21.
[0085] Optionally, among the plurality of fourth conductive bridges 64, the distance between two adjacent fourth conductive bridges 64 in the second direction y is equal to the distance between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y, both being D4. The distance D5 between the fourth conductive bridge 64 and the fifth conductive bridge 65 adjacent in the second direction y is less than the distance D6 between the fifth conductive bridge 65 and the first conductive bridge 61 adjacent in the second direction y. Moreover, the minimum distance D' between the orthographic projection of the conductive bridge 60 closest to the second bending region 21 on the display substrate 10 and the second bending limit 2 of the second bending region 21 is greater than zero.
[0086] In this way, in the tri-fold touch display substrate, the second conductive bridge 62 closest to the first bending area 20 and the fifth conductive bridge 65 closest to the second bending area 21 can both avoid the bending limit area with a large bending amplitude.
[0087] FIG9 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a four-curved touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. (a) in FIG10 may be the cross-sectional shape at line BB in FIG9 , and (b) in FIG10 may be the cross-sectional shape at line CC in FIG9 . As shown in FIG9 and FIG10 , the first curved area 20 surrounds the first flat area 30. The first flat area 30 has two first sides 33, two second sides 34, and four corners 35. The two first sides 33 are arranged along the second direction y, the two second sides 34 are arranged along the first direction x, and the corners 35 are located between adjacent first sides 33 and second sides 34 and are connected to the first sides 33 and the second sides 34.
[0088] Optionally, the plurality of conductive bridges 60 include a plurality of first conductive bridges 61 and a plurality of second conductive bridges 62. Both the plurality of first conductive bridges 61 and the plurality of second conductive bridges 62 are located in the first flat region 30, with the second conductive bridges 62 being closest to the first bending region 20 at the corner 35. The distance D7 between adjacent second conductive bridges 62 and first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x is less than the distance D3 between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x, and the distance D1 between adjacent second conductive bridges 62 and first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y is less than the distance D4 between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y. In this way, in a four-curved touch display substrate, the second conductive bridges 62 closest to the first bending region 20 at the corner 35 can avoid the first bending limit 1, which has a larger bending amplitude.
[0089] FIG11 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG12 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another four-curve touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG12 (a) may be the cross-sectional shape at line BB in FIG11, and FIG12 (b) may be the cross-sectional shape at line CC in FIG11. As shown in FIG12, the first bending limit 1 is the bending line with the smallest curvature radius of the display substrate 10 in the first bending area 20, that is, in the first bending area 20 other than the first bending limit 1, the curvature radius of the display substrate 10 is greater than the curvature radius of the display substrate at the first bending limit 1, and the bending amplitude of these areas is smaller. The difference between Figure 11 and Figure 9 is that in Figure 11 , multiple first conductive bridges 61 are located in the first flat region 30, and multiple second conductive bridges 62 are located in the first curved region 20. The second conductive bridges 62 are closest to the corner 35 of the first flat region 30. The distance D7 between adjacent second conductive bridges 62 and first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x is greater than the distance D3 between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x. Furthermore, the distance D1 between adjacent second conductive bridges 62 and first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y is greater than the distance D4 between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the second direction y. In this way, in a four-curved touch display substrate, the second conductive bridge 62 closest to the first curved region 20 at the corner 35 can be located in the first curved region 20 with a smaller curvature, thereby avoiding the first curved boundary 1 with a larger curvature.
[0090] FIG13 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG14 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The difference between FIG13 and FIG9 and the difference between FIG14 and FIG11 is that the multiple conductive bridges 60 in FIG13 and FIG14 also include multiple fifth conductive bridges 65. The multiple fifth conductive bridges 65 are located in the first flat area 30, and the multiple fifth conductive bridges 65 are closest to the first bending area 20 at the second side 34. The distance D8 between adjacent fifth conductive bridges 65 and first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x is less than the distance D3 between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x. In this way, in the four-curve touch display substrate, the second conductive bridge 62 closest to the first bending area 20 at the corner 35 and the fifth conductive bridge 65 closest to the second side 34 can avoid the first bending limit 1 with a larger bending amplitude.

Figure 16 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 16 may be a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in Figure 15 . As shown in Figures 15 and 16 , the display area 3 also includes a second curved area 21, which is connected to the first flat area 30, and the second curved area 21 and the first curved area 20 are located on opposite sides of the first flat area 30.
[0092] Optionally, the plurality of conductive bridges 60 includes a plurality of first conductive bridges 61, a plurality of second conductive bridges 62, and a plurality of fifth conductive bridges 65. The plurality of first conductive bridges 61, the plurality of second conductive bridges 62, and the plurality of fifth conductive bridges 65 are all located in the first flat region 30, with the plurality of second conductive bridges 62 being closest to the first bending region 20, and the plurality of fifth conductive bridges 65 being closest to the second bending region 21. A distance D7 between adjacent second conductive bridges 62 and first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x is smaller than a distance D3 between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x, a distance D8 between adjacent fifth conductive bridges 65 and first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x is smaller than a distance D3 between two adjacent first conductive bridges 61 in the first direction x, and a minimum distance D' between an orthographic projection of the conductive bridge 60 closest to the second bending region 21 on the display substrate 10 and the second bending limit 2 of the second bending region 21 is greater than zero.
[0093] In this way, in the dual-curve touch display substrate, the second conductive bridge 62 closest to the first bending area 20 and the fifth conductive bridge 65 closest to the second bending area 21 can avoid the bending limit area with a large bending amplitude.
[0094] Figure 17 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another touch display substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 17 may be a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line EE in Figure 2 . As shown in Figure 17 , at the via hole in the insulating layer 50 , the width W1 of the conductive bridge 60 is equal to the width W2 of the first electrode 43 connected to the conductive bridge 60 .
[0095] Figure 18 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another touch display substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The difference between Figure 18 and Figure 17 is that in Figure 18 , at the via hole in the insulating layer 50 , the width W1 of the conductive bridge 60 is greater than the width W2 of the first electrode 43 connected to the conductive bridge 60 .
[0096] It should be noted that the widths W1 and W2 are both dimensions in a direction parallel to the surface of the display substrate 10 and perpendicular to the second direction y. In this way, the width of the conductive bridge 60 is larger at the via hole in the insulating layer 50, which can reduce the impedance of the conductive bridge 60.
[0097] Optionally, the touch display substrate further includes a barrier layer 51, which is located on a side of the touch function layer close to the display substrate 10. The barrier layer 51 can be used to block impurity ions and the like from entering the touch function layer.
[0098] Optionally, the touch display substrate further includes a protective layer 52, which is located on the side of the touch function layer away from the display substrate 10. The protective layer 52 is used to protect the touch metal layer from external damage and also has a planarizing effect, making the surface of the touch function layer away from the display substrate 10 relatively flat.
[0099] Illustratively, the first touch metal layer 40, the insulating layer 50 and the second touch metal layer 41 are stacked sequentially in a direction away from the display substrate 10, the barrier layer 51 is located between the display substrate 10 and the first touch metal layer 40, and the protective layer 52 is located on the side of the second touch metal layer 41 away from the display substrate 10.

Combined with Figures 18 and 19, that is, the barrier layer 51 is located between the encapsulation layer 13 and the touch functional layer, so that the touch display substrate is an FMLOC (Flexible Multiple Layer on Cell, flexible multi-layer structure), which can reduce the thickness of the touch display substrate and is conducive to the lightweight design of the touch display substrate. The encapsulation layer 13 can encapsulate the driving backplane 11 and the light-emitting functional layer 12, isolate external water vapor, reduce the probability of oxidation of the driving backplane 11 and the light-emitting functional layer 12 due to water vapor, and improve the reliability of the touch display substrate.
