Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the present disclosure shall have the usual meanings understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The words “first”, “second” and the like used in the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The word “including” or “containing” and the like, means that an element or item preceding the word includes an element or item listed after the word and the equivalent thereof without excluding other elements or objects. The word “connecting” or “coupling” and the like is not restricted to physical or mechanical connection, but may include electrical connection, whether direct or indirect. The words “up”, “down”, “left”, “right” and the like are only used to indicate the relative positional relationship. After the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
In order to keep the following descriptions of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits detailed descriptions of known functions and known components.
It should be noted that, for a mutual capacitance type touch panel, an edge wire (the edge wire is divided into drive wire Tx and induction wire Rx) is generally arranged in a non-display area of the touch panel to transmit a signal of a touch IC to a touch electrode in a display area, that is, a touch signal is transmitted from a near touch IC end to a far touch IC end. However, distances between different touch electrodes and touch ICs are different, and the touch electrodes at the near touch IC end correspond to short edge wires, small resistance and strong signals, while the touch electrodes at the far touch IC end correspond to long edge wires, large resistance and weak signals, leading to a difference in signals between the touch electrodes at different positions, thereby leading to a difference in touch performances at different positions of the same touch panel.
