Solution Overview

Problem

Touch display devices are prone to insensitivity due to accumulated electrostatic charges, which can interfere with the display medium and affect control accuracy, as existing designs lack an effective electrostatic releasing mechanism.

Innovation Solution

A touch display panel with an electrostatic releasing layer having a sheet resistance of 109-1012Ω/□, integrated between substrates and electrically connected to a grounding unit, effectively releases accumulated electrostatic charges, preventing electric field interference and maintaining sensitivity and accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

An electrostatic releasing layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the touch panel layers. This layer has specific electrical properties (sheet resistance of 10^9-10^12Ω/□) that allow it to release accumulated electrostatic charges while maintaining electrical isolation from the sensing electrode layer, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability improvement and structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies a particular range for the sheet resistance parameter of the electrostatic releasing layer (10^9-10^12Ω/□). By controlling this electrical parameter within a specific range, the layer can effectively release electrostatic charges without interfering with the touch sensing function, thereby improving reliability without excessive structural complexity
