Solution Overview

Problem

As touch display panels increase in size, the length of signal transmission lines increases, leading to higher resistive-capacitive loads that degrade control accuracy and touch precision.

Innovation Solution

The touch display panel design includes a signal transmission wiring layer with multiple signal transmission lines connected in parallel to each touch electrode, featuring connection lines between and around the transmission lines to reduce resistance and capacitive load.

Solution Approach 1:

The signal transmission wiring layer is divided into multiple signal transmission line groups, where each group contains multiple signal transmission lines that are electrically connected in parallel to a single touch electrode. This segmentation approach reduces the resistive-capacitive load on each individual transmission line, thereby maintaining control accuracy even as the display panel size increases.
