An embodiment of the present application provides a display module 100, which includes a display panel 10, a touch unit 20, a fingerprint recognition touch unit 30, and a control module 40.

The display panel 10 includes a first display region 10a and a second display region 10b. The first display region 10a is positioned on a periphery of the second display region 10b. The touch unit 20 is disposed on the first display region 10a. The touch unit 20 includes first touch electrodes 201 and second touch electrodes 202 arranged on a same layer and independently from each other. The first touch electrodes 201 and the second touch electrodes 202 are arranged to cross each other.

The fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 is disposed on the second display region 10b. The fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 includes first recognition electrodes 301 and second recognition electrodes 302 arranged on a same layer and independently from each other. The first recognition electrodes 301 and the second recognition electrodes 302 are arranged to cross each other. The first recognition electrodes 301 and the first touch electrodes 201 are arranged in different layers.

The display module 100 of the present application integrates the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 and the touch unit 20 independently in the display region and is driven and controlled by a same control module 40 to realize an integration of recognition and touch. Specifically, the recognition electrodes of the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 and the touch electrodes of the touch unit 20 are disposed in different layers to realize the integration of the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 and the touch unit 20 in the display region of the display panel 10, thereby increasing a screen-to-body ratio and saving an installation space.

That is, in a fingerprint recognition stage, the control module 40 sends a fingerprint recognition signal to the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 to realize a fingerprint recognition function; in a touch stage, the control module 40 sends a touch signal to the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 and the touch unit 20 simultaneously to realize a touch control function. Of course, in some embodiments, two control modules can control the fingerprint recognition touch unit and the touch unit in one-to-one correspondence.

In the display module 100 of the present embodiment, the touch unit 20 further includes a plurality of first bridges 203, and the first bridges 203 and the first recognition electrodes 301 are disposed on a same layer. The first bridges 203 are connected to at least one of the first touch electrodes 201 and the second touch electrodes 202. That is, the first bridges 203 are connected to adjacent first touch electrodes 201 or second touch electrodes 202; or, a portion of the first bridges 203 is connected to the adjacent first touch electrodes 201, and another portion of the first bridges 203 is connected to the adjacent second touch electrodes 202.

Specifically, when the first touch electrodes 201 are arranged independent from each other, the adjacent first touch electrodes 201 can be connected through the first bridges 203; when the second touch electrodes 202 are arranged independent from each other, the adjacent second touch electrodes 202 can be connected through the first bridges 203. When a portion of the first touch electrodes 201 is arranged independent from each other and a portion of the second touch electrodes 202 is arranged independent from each other, a portion of the first bridges 203 is connected to adjacent independent first touch electrodes 201, and another portion of the first bridges 203 is connected to adjacent independent second touch electrodes 202.

In the display module 100 of the present embodiment, the first touch electrodes 201 are touch driving electrodes, and the second touch electrodes 202 are touch sensing electrodes. The first touch electrodes 201 are arranged in a same layer and independently from each other. The adjacent first touch electrodes 201 are connected through the first bridges 203. In some embodiments, the first touch electrodes 201 can also be touch sensing electrodes, and the second touch electrodes 202 can be touch driving electrodes.

Since the touch unit 20 surrounds an outer periphery of the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30, the first touch electrodes 201 provided in a row direction of the touch units 20 positioned on both sides of the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 are electrically connected in one-to-one correspondence by windings, and a plurality of windings are arranged around the outer periphery of the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30.

In the display module 100 of the present embodiment, the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 further includes a plurality of second bridges 303, and the second bridges 303 and the first touch electrodes 201 are disposed on a same layer. The second bridges 303 are connected to at least one of the first recognition electrodes 301 and the second recognition electrodes 302. That is, the second bridges 303 are connected to adjacent first recognition electrodes 301 or second recognition electrodes 302; or a portion of the second bridges 303 is connected to the adjacent first fingerprint electrodes 301, and another portion of the second bridges 303 is connected to the adjacent second fingerprint electrodes 302.

Specifically, when the first recognition electrodes 301 are arranged independent from each other, the adjacent first recognition electrodes 301 can be connected through the second bridges 303; and when the second recognition electrodes 302 are arranged independent from each other, the adjacent second recognition electrodes 302 can be connected through the second bridges 303. When a portion of the first recognition electrodes 301 is arranged independent from each other and a portion of the second recognition electrodes 302 is arranged independent from each other, then a portion of the second bridges 303 is connected to the adjacent independent first recognition electrodes 301, and another portion of the second bridges 303 is connected to the adjacent independent second recognition electrodes 302.

In the display module 100 of the present embodiment, the first recognition electrodes 301 are recognition driving electrodes, and the second recognition electrodes 302 are recognition sensing electrodes. A portion of the first recognition electrodes 301 in a same layer is disposed independently from each other, and a portion of the second recognition electrodes 302 is arranged independent from each other. A portion of the second bridges 303 is connected to the adjacent independent first recognition electrodes 301, and another portion of the second bridges 303 is connected to the adjacent independent second recognition electrodes 302. In some embodiments, the first recognition electrodes 301 can also be recognition sensing electrodes, and the second recognition electrodes 302 can be recognition driving electrodes.

It should be noted that, because the second bridges 303 and the electrodes of the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 are arranged in different layers, when one of the second bridges 303 is connected to the electrodes independently from each other, the one of the second bridges 303 needs to be drilled. Compared with the electrodes directly connected at a same layer, the second bridge 303 increases a line distance of a drilling depth, thereby increasing the resistance.

Therefore, a connection setting in the fingerprint recognition touch unit 30 makes the first recognition electrodes 301 and the second recognition electrodes 302 have a balanced resistance, so that a signal response time of the first recognition electrodes 301 and the second recognition electrodes 302 tends to be same.
