[0050] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in different embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0051] The present application provides a solution to the problems existing in the prior art. The present application provides a touch panel and a preparation method thereof, wherein the touch panel comprises: a display backboard; a display unit located on one side of the display backboard; a thin film packaging layer located on the side of the display unit away from the display backboard and encapsulating the display unit; a touch pattern layer located on the side of the thin film packaging layer away from the display unit; and a binding pin located on the same side of the display backboard as the display unit and connected with the display unit and the touch pattern layer. The touch panel and the preparation method thereof of the present application have the following advantages: (1) the thin film packaging layer is used instead of the encapsulation cover plate, thereby reducing the thickness of the touch panel and the frame; (2) the binding pin is multiplexed, so that the touch pattern layer and the display unit are both connected with the binding pin, thereby further reducing the frame; and (3) the binding pin is multiplexed, and thus the flexible circuit board can be multiplexed, thereby reducing the preparation difficulty.

[0052] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional structure schematic diagram of a touch panel provided by the present application; and FIG. 2 shows a top view structure schematic diagram of a touch panel provided by the present application.

[0054] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, one aspect of the present application provides a touch panel, comprising: a display backboard 1, a display unit 2, a thin film packaging layer 3, a touch pattern layer 4, and a binding pin 5.

[0055] In some embodiments, the display backboard 1 is an important component in the touch panel, which provides support and basic structure so that other components such as the display unit 2 and the touch pattern layer 4 can be correctly installed and work. The display backboard 1 is usually a solid plate, which can be made of glass, plastic, metal or other materials, and has sufficient strength and stability to support other components of the touch panel. Glass is usually selected as the material of the display backboard 1 because of its high hardness, good optical transparency, strong corrosion resistance and other characteristics, especially in high-end display panels such as smart phones, tablet computers and the like.

[0056] In some embodiments, the display unit 2 is located on one side of the display backboard 1. The display unit 2 can be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) or an AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), or a liquid crystal display unit, but is not limited thereto.

[0057] In some embodiments, the thin film encapsulation layer 3 is located on the side of the display unit 2 away from the display backplane 1 and encapsulates the display unit 2. The thickness of the thin film encapsulation layer 3 is 6-20 um, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the projection of the thin film encapsulation layer 3 on the display backplane 1 contains the projection of the display unit 2 on the display backplane 1, so that the thin film encapsulation layer 3 can completely cover the display unit 2. The thin film encapsulation layer 3 plays a key role in encapsulation and protection in the touch panel, mainly for: encapsulating the display unit, providing insulation protection, protecting the panel structure, and improving optical performance, etc. As for the materials that the thin film encapsulation layer 3 can use, they may be different according to specific applications and requirements. Common thin film encapsulation layer structures include: a dense inorganic film formed by CVD (Chemical Vapor Evaporation) process, a high-molecular polymer with buffering effect, and a dense inorganic film formed by CVD process, which are three-layer composite. The touch panel of the present application uses the thin film encapsulation layer 3 instead of the encapsulation cover plate of the prior art. Since the thickness of the thin film encapsulation layer 3 is much smaller than that of the encapsulation cover plate, the thickness of the touch panel can be reduced, and at the same time the frame can be reduced.

[0058] In some embodiments, the touch panel further comprises: a thin film barrier strip 7 located on the same side of the display backplane 1 as the display unit 2 and surrounding the display unit 2, and the display unit 2 and the thin film encapsulation layer 3 are both located in the groove formed by the thin film barrier strip 7 and the display backplane 1. The thin film barrier strip 7 is used to limit the thin film encapsulation layer 3, so that it completely covers the display unit 2, and the coverage range of the thin film encapsulation layer 3 is minimized to reduce the frame of the touch panel. The thin film encapsulation structure formed by the thin film encapsulation layer 3 and the thin film barrier strip 7 has a thickness much smaller than that of the encapsulation cover plate and the small glass encapsulation glue in the prior art, which can reduce the thickness of the touch panel and at the same time reduce the coverage range to reduce the frame.

[0059] In some embodiments, the touch pattern layer 4 is located on the side of the thin film encapsulation layer 3 away from the display unit 2. The following takes the capacitive touch pattern layer 4 as an example to briefly explain the touch principle. Capacitive touch screens use changes in capacitance to detect touch locations. The touch pattern layer 4 is usually composed of a capacitive array formed by one or more layers of conductive material (such as ITO or silver nanowires), which can be placed on a glass or plastic substrate. When a user touches the screen, the distribution of capacitance changes, thereby determining the touch location.

[0060] In some embodiments, the binding pins 5 are located on the same side of the display backplane 1 as the display units 2, and are connected to the display units 2 and the touch pattern layer 4. The touch panel generally has a plurality of binding pins 5. It can be understood that the binding pins 5 are connected to the display units 2 and transmit display data and power signals to the display units 2 to activate the pixels and control their display content. These signals can be video data, timing control signals, power supply, etc. The binding pins 5 are connected to the touch pattern layer 4 and transmit touch signals and control commands to the touch pattern layer 4 to detect and recognize the user's touch operation. These signals are usually capacitive changes, resistance changes, or other sensing signals used to determine the touch position and type. The touch panel of the present application multiplexes the binding pins 5 so that the touch pattern layer 4 and the display units 2 are both connected to the binding pins 5 to further reduce the frame.

[0061] In some embodiments, the touch panel further comprises a plurality of touch traces 6 and a plurality of display traces, and the touch pattern layer 4 comprises a plurality of touch patterns 41. Each touch trace 6 is connected to one binding pin 5 and one touch pattern 41 to transmit display data and power signals from the binding pin 5 to the display unit 2. The display trace is connected to the binding pin 5 and the display unit 2 to transmit touch signals and control commands from the binding pin 5 to the touch pattern layer 4.

[0062] In some embodiments, the touch panel further comprises a passivation layer 8 located between the thin film packaging layer 3 and the touch pattern layer 4. It can be understood that the passivation layer 8 provides a layer of isolation and protection between the touch pattern layer 4 and the display unit 2. This helps to ensure the normal transmission of signals and functional operation between the display unit 2 and the touch pattern layer 4, while reducing the possibility of interference and misoperation. The passivation layer 8 can be made of a variety of materials, including but not limited to SiNx thin film, polyimide (PI), polyester film (PET), polyether ketone (PEEK), and fluoropolymer, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, the touch panel further comprises a protective layer 9 located on the side of the touch pattern layer 4 away from the passivation layer 8. It can be understood that the protective layer 9 serves to provide additional protection on the back of the touch pattern layer 4 to prevent damage to the touch panel from the external environment and ensure its long-term stable operation. Specifically, the protective layer 9 has the physical protection function of preventing scratching, collision or extrusion, the dust and water prevention function of preventing external substances such as dust and water vapor from entering the interior of the touch panel, and the anti-pollution function of reducing the impact of stains on the touch panel to maintain its cleanliness and transparency. The protective layer 9 can be made of a variety of materials, including but not limited to glass, polycarbonate (PC), polyurethane (PU), and polyester film (PET).

[0064] In some embodiments, the touch panel further comprises a contact unit 51 located on the side of the binding pin 5 away from the display backboard 1 to connect the touch trace 6 and the display trace. It can be understood that the contact unit 51 connects the touch trace 6 and the display trace to realize the transmission and interaction between the touch signal and the display data. In some embodiments, the contact unit 51 can also be used to provide power supply to ensure the normal operation and work of each part of the touch panel. In addition, the contact unit 51 is made of the same material as the touch pattern layer 4, and both are prepared at the same time and connected through the touch trace 6.

[0065] In some embodiments, the touch trace 6 is located on the side of the passivation layer 8 away from the display backboard 1. Specifically, it can be arranged close to the passivation layer 8 and located between the passivation layer 8 and the protection layer 9. The metal material of the touch trace 6 can cross the boundary of the thin film packaging layer 3 and be directly connected to the binding pin 5 of the display backboard 1 to connect the binding pin 5 and the touch pattern 41 of the touch pattern layer 4, which can reduce the touch binding pin designed for the touch pattern layer 4 alone, and reuse the existing display binding pin to further reduce the frame.

[0066] In some embodiments, the touch panel further comprises a flexible circuit board connected to the binding pin 5. It can be understood that the flexible circuit board (FPC) is a circuit board made of flexible substrate, which is used to connect and support various components in the touch panel, such as the touch pattern layer 4, the display unit 2 and the contact unit 51, etc. The flexible circuit board has the characteristics of excellent flexibility and bending, and can freely bend in complex structures and adapt to different shape panel design requirements. The flexible circuit board is usually composed of flexible substrate (such as polyester film, polyimide, etc.) and conductive circuit, which can be manufactured by printing, thin film deposition and other processes. The flexible circuit board connects various components in the touch panel through wires and connectors to form a complete circuit system, and is responsible for transmitting touch signals, display data and power signals, etc. The touch panel of the present application reuses the binding pin, so that it is not necessary to design a touch flexible circuit board separately, and the existing display flexible circuit board can be reused to reduce the preparation difficulty.

[0067] In some embodiments, the projection of the binding pin 5 on the display backboard 1 is separated from the projection of the thin film packaging layer 3 on the display backboard 1, and the projection of the binding pin 5 on the display backboard 1 is separated from the projection of the touch pattern layer 4 on the display backboard 1, so as to represent that the thin film packaging layer 3 and the touch pattern layer 4 are located in the display area of the touch panel, and the binding pin 5 is located in the non-display area of the touch panel. The projection line of the binding pin 5 on the display backboard 1 contacts the passivation layer 8 to facilitate the electrical connection between the touch trace 6 prepared on the passivation layer 8 and the contact unit 51 prepared on the binding pin 5.

[0068] The touch panel of the present application, (1) by using a thin film packaging layer 3 instead of a packaging cover plate, reduces the thickness of the touch panel and reduces the frame; (2) by multiplexing the binding pins 5, the touch pattern layer 4 and the display unit 2 are connected to the binding pins 5, so as to further reduce the frame; (3) by multiplexing the binding pins 5, the flexible circuit board can be multiplexed, so as to reduce the preparation difficulty.
