DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a touch display apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a touch display apparatus 1000 includes a display panel 100 and a plurality of touch electrodes 200 disposed above the display panel 100. The display panel 100 includes two substrates 110 and 120 opposite to each other and a display medium 130 located between the two substrates 110 and 120. For example, in the present embodiment, the display medium 130 may include liquid crystals, organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) or other suitable materials. The display panel 100 may be a liquid crystal display panel, an OLED display panel or other suitable display panels. In the present embodiment, the touch electrodes 200 are, for example, transparent electrodes, and a material of the transparent electrodes includes a metal nanowire (e.g., a silver nanowire) or a metal oxide (e.g., indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, aluminum tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, indium germanium zinc oxide, other suitable oxides or a stacking layer consisting of at least two of the aforementioned oxides), but the invention is not limited thereto.

In the present embodiment, the substrate 110 is, for example, a pixel array substrate. The pixel array substrate includes a plurality of active devices (not shown) and a plurality of pixel electrodes (not shown) electrically connected with the active devices. The substrate 120 is, for example, a light-shielding substrate. The light-shielding substrate includes light-shielding patterns 122. The light-shielding patterns 122 have a plurality of light-transmitting areas 122a. The light-transmitting areas 122a respectively overlap the pixel electrodes. In the present embodiment, the light-shielding patterns 122 are, for example, black matrices. The substrate 120 may selectively include a plurality of color filter patterns 124. The color filter patterns 124 are respectively disposed on the light-transmitting areas 122a of the light-shielding patterns 122. It should be mentioned that the invention is not intent to limit that the light-shielding patterns 122 have to be disposed in the substrate 120, and in other embodiments, the light-shielding patterns 122 may also be disposed in the substrate 110 to form a black matrix on array (BOA) structure. In addition, the invention is not intent to limit that the light-shielding patterns 122 have to be black matrices, and in other embodiments, the disposition of the black matrices may also be omitted. Specifically, in another embodiment of the invention, adjacent color filter patterns may be partially stacked with each other, and a plurality of portions of the stacked color filter patterns may be employed as the light-shielding patterns 122 for functionally substituting for the black matrices. Moreover, the invention is also not intent to limit positions of the color filter patterns 124 or whether the color filter patterns 124 are disposed. For example, in yet another embodiment of the invention, the color filter patterns 124 are also integrated in the pixel array substrate (i.e., the substrate 110) to form a color filter on array (COA) structure. In still another embodiment of the invention, if the touch display apparatus 1000 is not required to display color images, or the display medium 130 (e.g., the OLED) is capable of emitting color lights, the color filter patterns 124 may also selectively be not disposed.

The substrate 110 and the substrate 120 have an inner surface 110a and an inner surface 120a facing the display medium 130 and an outer surface 110b and an outer surface 120b with the backs facing the display medium 130. In the present embodiment, the touch electrodes 200 may be directly disposed on the outer surface 120b of the substrate 120 of the display panel 100, thereby forming an on-cell structure. In the present embodiment, the display panel 100 may also selectively include two polarizers 142 and 144. The polarizer 142 is disposed on the outer surface 110b of the substrate 110, and the polarizer 144 is disposed on the outer surface 120b of the substrate 120. The polarizer 144 covers the touch electrodes 200 to protect the touch electrodes 200. In other words, the polarizer 144 may be employed as a protection film. In the present embodiment, a haze of the polarizer 144 may be H, and 0%≤H≤50%, but the invention is not limited thereto Additionally, in the present embodiment, the touch display apparatus 1000 further includes a protection substrate 300. A material of the protection substrate 300 is, for example, glass, and the protection substrate 300 may be disposed above the polarizer 144 and bonded with the polarizer 144 through an optical adhesive 400. However, the invention is not limited thereto, in other embodiments, the touch electrodes 200 may also be disposed at other suitable positions. Embodiments will be provided below with other accompanying drawings for description.

FIG. 2 is a schematic top view showing the display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the display panel 100 has a plurality of pixel areas 100a arranged in an array. In the present embodiment, each of the pixel areas 100a may be considered as a sub-pixel having its own color, and a plurality of sub-pixels may form a pixel. For example, each pixel may include three pixel areas 100a respectively having a red color, a green color and a blue color. However, the invention is not limited thereto, both the number of the pixel areas 100a of each pixel and the colors of the pixel areas may be determined based on actual demands, for example, four pixel areas 100a respectively having a white color, a red color, a green color and a blue color, or alternatively, four pixel areas 100a respectively having a yellow color, a red color, a green color and a blue color.

Referring to FIG. 2, the pixel areas 100a are arranged with a pixel pitch P_px in a first direction x. The pixel areas 100a are arranged with a pixel pitch P_py in a second direction y. The first direction x intersects the second direction y. In the present embodiment, the first direction x and the second direction y may be perpendicular to each other, but the invention is not limited thereto The light-shielding patterns 122 include a plurality of first light-shielding portions 122b and a plurality of second light-shielding portions 122c. The first light-shielding portions 122b intersect the second light-shielding portions 122c, thereby defining a plurality of light-transmitting areas 122a. Each of the first light-shielding portions 122b has a width W1 in the first direction x. Each of the second light-shielding portions 122c has a width W2 in the second direction y. Each of the light-transmitting areas 122a has a width W3 in the first direction x. Each of the light-transmitting areas 122a has a width W4 in the second direction y. In the present embodiment, the pixel pitch P_px may refer to a sum of the width W1 of one first light-shielding portion 122b and the width W3 of one light-transmitting area 122a. The pixel pitch P_py may refer to a sum of the width W2 of one second light-shielding portion 122c and the width W4 of one light-transmitting area 122a. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the pixel pitch P_px may also be defined by a distance between a center of each of the light-transmitting areas 122a and a center of another light-transmitting area 122a adjacent thereto in the first direction x, and the pixel pitch P_py may also be defined by a distance between a center of each of the light-transmitting areas 122a and a center of another light-transmitting area 122a adjacent thereto in the second direction y. Generally, 2.7P_px≤P_py≤3.3P_px, which is preferably designed as P_py=3P_px, but the invention is also not limited thereto.

FIG. 3 is a schematic top view showing the touch electrodes according to an embodiment of the invention. In the present embodiment, the touch electrodes 200 include first touch electrodes 210 and second touch electrodes 220 which are electrically separated from each other. In addition, a reference electrode or a ground electrode (which is not shown) may also be included between each adjacent first touch electrode 210 and second touch electrode 220, and an electric potential may be input to the reference electrode to reduce noise interference. One of the first touch electrode 210 and the second touch electrode 220 is a driving electrode. The other one of the first touch electrode 210 and the second touch electrode 220 is a receiving electrode. The driving electrode outputs a touch scan signal, the receiving electrode receives a voltage signal obtained by sensing capacitance coupling, and thereby, a touched position may be determined according to a change of the voltage signal. In the present embodiment, the first touch electrodes 210 and the second touch electrodes 220 may be formed on the same layer, but the invention is not limited thereto The capacitance sensing mode of the present embodiment is mutual-capacitance sensing. A pattern design of the first touch electrodes 210 and the second touch electrodes 220 may be a 1-transmitter and multiple-receiver (1TMR) architecture, a 1-transmitter and 2-receiver (1T2R) architecture, a 1-transmitter and 3-receiver (1T3R) architecture or other suitable architectures. For example, the 1T2R architecture refers to an architecture in which one first touch electrode 210 corresponds to two second touch electrodes 220, and after a driving signal is provided to the first touch electrode 210, the corresponding two second touch electrodes 220 respectively output sensing signals to an integrated circuit for signal processing. The 1T3R architecture refers to an architecture in which one first touch electrode 210 corresponds to three second touch electrodes 220. In other embodiments, the capacitance sensing mode may be self-capacitance sensing, and in this case, the first touch electrodes 210 and the second touch electrodes 220 themselves serve as driving electrodes and also receiving electrodes.

FIG. 4 is a schematic enlarged view showing the partial touch electrodes according to an embodiment of the invention. Particularly, FIG. 4 corresponds to an area R in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, each of the touch electrodes 200 has a plurality of bending patterns 212. A reference electrode or a ground electrode (which is not shown) may also be included between each adjacent touch electrodes 200, and the ground electrode may also have a plurality of bending patterns 212. In the present embodiment, each of the bending patterns 212 may present a profile of jagged shape. The bending patterns 212 of the touch electrodes 200 are arranged with a first touch electrode pitch P_tx in the first direction x. As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the first touch electrode pitch P_tx may refer to a distance from a bending point of one bending pattern 212 to a bending point of another adjacent bending pattern 212 adjacent thereto in the first direction x. Each of the bending patterns 212 has a width Wb in the first direction x. A spacing S is between each two adjacent bending patterns 212. The spacing S has a width Ws in the first direction x. In the present embodiment, the first touch electrode pitch P_tx may be a sum of the width Wb of one bending pattern 212 and the width Ws of one spacing S. In other embodiments, each of the bending patterns 212 may also present a wavy shape.

Referring to FIG. 4, each of the bending patterns 212 includes a plurality of repeating portions 212a connected with one another, and for descriptive convenience, one of the repeating portion 212a is represented by an area filled with relatively dense dots. The repeating portions 212a are arranged with a second touch electrode pitch P_ty in the second direction y. A width of the second touch electrode pitch P_ty and a width of one repeating portion 212a in the second direction y may be the same. Each of the repeating portions 212a has a first line segment 212a-1 inclined with respect to the first direction x and the second direction y. An angle α is included between the first line segment 212a-1 and the second direction y, and 10°≤α≤45°. In the present embodiment, each of the repeating portions 212a further has a second line segment 212a-2 inclined with respect to the first direction x and the second direction y. A direction of the second line segment 212a-2 is different from a direction of the first line segment 212a-1. In the present embodiment, the first line segment 212a-1 is connected with the second line segment 212a-2, thereby forming one dogleg-shaped repeating portion 212a, but the invention is not limited thereto. In an embodiment, each of the repeating portions 212a may also be a wavy shape. An angle β is included between the second line segment 212a-2 and the second direction y, and in the present embodiment, 10°≤β≤45°. The angle a may be equal to the angle β, but the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the angle α may be different from the angle β. In another embodiment, a plurality of angles a and a plurality of angles β may also be included between the first line segment 212a-1 and the second direction y and between the second line segment 212a-2 and the second direction y. For example, when the repeating portions 212a present the wavy shape, the first line segment 212a-1 and the second line segment 212a-2 are curved lines, and as the position of the second direction y changes, the angles α and β included with the second direction y are gradually changed, i.e., the angles α and β are not constant values. Additionally, in the present embodiment, a length of the first line segment 212a-1 may be the same as a length of the second line segment 212a-2. However, the invention is not limited thereto, in other embodiments, the lengths of the first line segment 212a-1 and the second line segment 212a-2 may also be different. It should be noted that ideally, each of the bending patterns 212 may have the repeating portions 212a in an integer multiple, but actually, each of the bending patterns 212 may have the repeating portions 212a in a non-integer multiple. Additionally, in one of the bending patterns 212, the repeating portions 212a may also be not connected with one another.

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the angle α is included between the first line segment 212a-1 of each of the bending patterns 212 of the touch electrodes 220 and the second direction y, 10°≤α≤45°, and the first touch electrode pitch P_tx and the second touch electrode pitch P_ty of each of the bending patterns 212 are set to satisfy conditions of formulas (1) and (2) as below, so as to construct the touch electrodes 200 of the embodiment. Moreover, a size (i.e., the pixel pitch P_px) of each of the pixel areas 100a is set to satisfy the conditions of the following formulas (1) and (2), so as to construct the display panel 100 of the embodiment. The touch display apparatus 1000 of the embodiment is constructed by overlapping the touch electrodes 200 and the display panel 100. For the touch display apparatus 1000 of the embodiment, a visual sense evaluation is taken to evaluate the generated moire patterns. The results show that when 10°≤α≤45°, and the following formulas (1) and (2) are satisfied, the generation of the moire patterns may be properly suppressed.

1.5P_px≤P_tx≤2P_px  Formula (1)

1.63P_px≤0.5P_ty≤9.94P_px  Formula (2)

To be more detailed, when 10°≤α≤15°, and the pixel pitch P_px, the first touch electrode pitch P_tx and the second touch electrode pitch P_ty satisfy: 1.5P_px≤P_tx≤2P_px and 6.51P_px≤0.5P_ty≤9.94P_px, the generation of the moire patterns may be properly suppressed.
