Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a first schematic structural view illustrating a touch display panel according to one embodiment of the present application. FIG. 2 is a second schematic structural view illustrating the touch display panel according to one embodiment of the present application.


A touch display panel 100 comprises a touch layer 10 and a connecting portion 20. The touch layer 10 comprises at least one first touch region 11 and at least one second touch region 12, wherein the first touch region 11 and the second touch region 12 have a same area, at least one first touch unit 13 is arranged in the first touch region 11, and a plurality of second touch units 14 are arranged in the second touch region 12; and


wherein the first touch region 11 and the second touch region 12 are each provided with a plurality of touch units, the touch units in the first touch region 11 comprises at least one first touch unit 13, and the touch units in the second touch region 12 comprises the second touch units 14.


Furthermore, the touch layer 10 further comprises a plurality of touch lines 114, and the first touch unit 13 and the second touch unit 14 are connected to the connecting portion 20 through the plurality of touch lines 114. The connecting portion 20 is connected to a display driver part of the display panel.


A size of the first touch unit 13 is smaller than a size of the second touch unit 14, a wiring region 112 is formed on one end of the first touch region 11 close to the connecting portion 20, and the wiring region 112 is configured to accommodate the touch lines.


In other words, the size of the first touch unit 13 in the first touch region 11 is smaller than the size of the second touch unit 14 in the second touch region 12. Due to the small size of the first touch unit 13 in the first touch region 11, the first touch region 11 has the extra wiring region 112 compared to the second touch region 12. The wiring region 112 is formed one one end of the first touch region 11 close to the connecting portion 20, and the touch lines of the first touch unit 13 and the second touch unit 14 are at least partially located in the wiring region 112.


In the touch display panel 100 of the present application, the first touch unit 13 and the second touch unit 14 of different sizes are arranged on the touch layer 10, wherein the size of the first touch unit 13 is smaller than the size of the second touch unit 14, so that the first touch region 11 provided with the first touch unit 13 forms a wiring region 112 on one end close to the connecting portion 20. The wiring region 112 is used to accommodate the touch lines 114 of the first touch unit 13 and the second touch unit 14. When the first touch unit 13 and the second touch unit 14 are connected to the connecting portion 20 through the touch lines 114, the touch lines 114 can be at least partially bent and collected in the wiring region 112 of the first touch region 11, and thereby, a bezel width of the touch display panel 100 can be reduced.


Please refer to FIG. 2. A first distance H1 is defined between the connecting portion 20 and the touch unit closest to the connecting portion 20 in the first touch region 11, and a second distance H2 is defined between the connecting portion 20 and the touch unit closest to the connecting portion 20 in the second touch region 12. The first distance H1 is greater than the second distance H2.


It should be noted that, since the first distance H1 is greater than the second distance H2, an area at one side of the touch unit closest to the connecting portion 20 and facing the connecting portion 20 in the first touch region 11 is larger than an area at one side of the touch unit closest to the connecting portion 20 and facing the connecting portion 20 in the second touch region 12.


In other words, the first touch region 11 has the additional wiring region 112 at one side of the touch unit closest to the connecting portion 20 and facing the connecting portion 20, compared to an area of the second touch region 12 at one side of the touch unit closest to the connecting portion 20 and facing the connecting portion 20. In the present application, the wiring region 112 can be used to accommodate at least a portion of the touch lines 114 of the first touch unit 13 and the second touch unit 14, thereby reducing a bezel width of the touch display panel 100.


In the touch display panel 100 of the present application, the touch units in the first touch region 11 are arranged along a first direction, and the touch units in the first touch region 11 comprise at least one first touch unit 13; the touch units in the second touch region 12 are arranged along the first direction, and all the touch units in the second touch region 12 are the second touch units 14.


The first direction can be perpendicular to a length direction of the display panel, so that the touch units in the first touch area 11 and the second touch area 12 are all arranged in columns, that is, the first touch units 13 and the second touch units 14 can include at least one column of the touch units.


In the touch display panel 100 of the present application, a first interval D1 is defined between adjacent touch units in the first touch region 11, a second interval D2 is defined between adjacent touch units in the second touch region 12, and the first interval D1 is equal to the second interval D2.


The touch units in the first touch region 11 are arranged at equal intervals in the first touch region 11, that is, intervals between adjacent touch units in the first touch region 11 are equal to each other. Similarly, the touch units in the second touch region 12 are arranged at equal intervals in the second touch region 12, that is, intervals between adjacent touch units in the second touch region 12 are equal.


Certainly, in some embodiments, the first interval D1 between adjacent touch units in the first touch region 11 can be different from the second interval D2 between adjacent touch units in the second touch region 12. For example, the first interval D1 is smaller than the second interval D2, so that the wiring region 112 in the first touch region 11 has a larger area to accommodate more touch lines, and further reduce the bezel width of the touch display panel 100, which is beneficial to a narrow bezel design of the touch display panel 100.


Please refer to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the touch layer 10 comprises multiple first touch regions 11 and multiple second touch regions 12, and the first touch regions 11 and the second touch regions 12 are alternately arranged.


It should be noted that the first touch area 11 and second touch area 12 being alternately arranged means that any two adjacent touch regions in the touch layer 10 are different touch regions.


Furthermore, the touch lines 114 of the touch layer 10 comprise a first touch line and a second touch line. Each touch unit in the first touch region 11 is connected to one end of one first touch line, and another end of the first touch line is connected to the connecting portion 20.


Each touch unit in the second touch region 12 adjacent to the column of the first touch units 13 is connected to one end of the second touch line, and another end of the second touch line is connected to the connecting portion 20.


The first touch line is bent and connected to the connecting portion 20, and the first touch line comprises a first line segment connected to the connecting portion 20. The second touch line is also bent and connected to the connecting portion 20, and the second touch line comprises a second line segment connected to the connecting portion 20.


At least a portion of the first line segments and at least a portion of the second line segments are located in the wiring region 112 of the first touch region 11. For example, some of the first line segments of all the first touch lines are located in the wiring region 112, and some of the second line segments of all the second line segments of the second touch lines are located in the wiring region 112. Alternatively, some of the first line segments are located in the wiring region 112, and some of the second line segments are located in the wiring region 112. Certainly, at least a portion of the first line segments and at least a portion of the second line segments being located in the wiring region 112 of the first touch region 11 can mean that, some of the first line segments are partially located in the wiring region 112, and some of the second line segments are partially located in the wiring region 112.


In some embodiments, the first line segments and the second line segments are arranged symmetrically with respect to an axial direction.


Furthermore, the first line segment comprise a first sub-segment in a second direction and a second sub-segment in a third direction; the second line segment comprise a third sub-segment in the third direction and a fourth sub-segment in the third direction; the second direction is perpendicular to the third direction, and the third direction is parallel to the first direction, that is to say, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.


The first sub-segments are arranged at equal intervals in the wiring region 112, and the third sub-segments are arranged at equal intervals in the wiring region 112.


In some embodiments, the first touch region 11 can include only one first touch unit 13, and other touch units in the first touch region 11 are all second touch units 14. The first touch unit 13 can be located between two second touch units 14, or the first touch unit 13 can also be located at a position farthest from the connecting portion 20 in the first touch region 11. Under this condition, a distance between the first touch unit 13 and the connecting portion 20 is greater than a distance between any second touch unit 14 in the first touch region 11 and the connecting portion 20.


Certainly, the first touch unit 13 can also be located at a position closest to the connecting portion 20 in the first touch region 11, and the distance between the first touch unit 13 and the connecting portion 20 is less than the distance between any one of the second touch units 14 in the first touch region 11 and the connecting portion 20.


Further, since the first interval D1 between adjacent touch units in the first touch region 11 is the same as the second interval D2 between adjacent touch units in the second touch region 12, the touch units of the touch layer 10 are distributed in a matrix.


In some embodiments, the first touch region 11 can comprise multiple first touch units 13. For example, the first touch region 11 can comprise multiple first touch units 13 and the plurality of second touch units 14, or the first touch region 11 can only comprise multiple first touch units 13 and does not comprise any second touch unit 14.


Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic structural view illustrating the touch layer 10 according to one embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the first touch region 11 can comprise two first touch units 13, wherein the second touch units 14 are all located between the two first touch units 13. In detail, one of the first touch units 13 is the touch unit, closest to the connecting portion 20, among the touch units in the first touch region 11. In other words, the distance between the first touch unit 13 and the connecting portion 20 is less than the distance between any second touch unit 14 in the first touch region 11 and the connecting portion 20. The other first touch unit 13 is the touch unit, farthest from the connecting portion 20, among the touch units in the first touch region 11; in other words, the distance between the first touch unit 13 and the connecting portion 20 is greater than the distance between any second touch unit 14 in the first touch region 11 and the connecting portion 20.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, which is a third structural view illustrating the touch display panel 100 according to one embodiment of the present application. The difference between the touch display panel 100 shown in FIG. 4 and the touch display panel 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is that the connecting portion 20 of the touch display panel 100 shown in FIG. 4 comprises a first connection interface 21 and a second connection interface 22. The first touch line corresponding to the first touch region 11 and the second touch line corresponding to the second touch region 12 adjacent to a column of the first touch region 11 can be connected to the first connection interface 21 or the second connection interface 22.
