The touch display panel provided by the embodiments of the disclosure includes a cathode and a plurality of inductive electrodes, the interior of at least one inductive electrode is hollowed out to reduce the relative area between the inductive electrode and the cathode. In the embodiments of the disclosure, by hollowing out the interior of the inductive electrode in the touch display panel, the relative area between the inductive electrode and the cathode of the touch display panel may be reduced, thereby reducing the inductive capacitance between the inductive electrode and the cathode. In this way, when touching the touch display panel, since the inductive capacitance between the cathode and the inductive electrode becomes smaller, a larger change in the capacitance can be detected by the inductive electrode, the interference with the inductive electrode by the cathode can be effectively alleviated, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the inductive electrode and the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel.
It should be noted that, in the foregoing embodiment, at least one touch electrode in the touch display panel is internally hollowed out, thereby alleviating the interference with the touch electrode by the cathode and improving the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel. In addition, in other embodiments provided by the disclosure, an area in the cathode of the touch display panel corresponding to the position of the touch electrode is hollowed out, thereby reducing the interference with the touch electrode by the cathode and improving touch sensitivity of the touch display panel.

It should be noted that, in the touch display panel shown in
In addition, the number of the hollow-out areas included in the cathode may be greater than that of the inductive sub-electrodes included In the inductive electrode. For example, as for one of the inductive electrodes shown in
In practical applications, the number of the hollow-out areas included in the cathode may be determined according to the sensitivity requirement of the inductive electrode, and is not specifically limited herein. As a preferred manner, it may be determined that the number of the hollow-out areas included in the cathode is the same as that of the inductive electrodes, and there is one-to-one correspondence between the positions of the hollow-out areas and those of the inductive electrodes.

The touch display panel provided by the embodiment of the disclosure includes a cathode and a plurality of inductive electrodes, wherein the cathode includes at least one hollow-out area, and the position of the hollow-out area corresponds to that of the inductive electrode to reduce the relative area between the cathode and the inductive electrode. In this way, as for the entire cathode, the relative area between the cathode and the inductive electrode may be reduced by hollowed out the area of the cathode in the touch display panel corresponding to the inductive electrode, thereby reducing the inductive capacitance between the cathode and the inductive electrode. In this way, when touching the touch display panel, owing to the reduced inductive capacitance between the cathode and the inductive electrode, compared with the prior art, the interference with the inductive electrode by the cathode may be alleviated and change in capacitance detected by the inductive electrode may be increased, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the inductive electrode and further improving the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel.

As for one of the inductive electrodes 711, the inductive electrode 711 may include a plurality of sequentially connected inductive sub-electrodes (four inductive sub-electrodes shown in
It should be noted that, in other implementations, as for one of the inductive electrodes, each inductive sub-electrode included therein may also have a strip shape, or some inductive sub-electrodes may have a diamond shape and the other inductive sub-electrodes may have a strip shape, and is not specifically limited herein. Similarly, as for one of the drive electrodes, each drive sub-electrode included therein may also have a strip shape, or some drive sub-electrodes may have a diamond shape, and the other drive sub-electrodes may have a strip shape, as long as the pattern of the inductive sub-electrode and the drive sub-electrode may spread throughout the display area of the touch display panel.

In the touch display panel shown in
The number of the hollow-out areas 721 included in the cathode described in
In
In addition, the area of the hollow-out area 721 may also be smaller than that of the inductive area 713 corresponding to the position of the hollow-out area 721, to reduce the area of the hollow-out area of the cathode, thereby avoiding damage to the display function of the cathode.
The cathode layer 72 shown in
It should be noted that, in practical applications, it may be preferable that the cathode portion corresponding to the electrode area in which the inductive electrode is overlapped with the drive electrode is hollowed out, because the interference with the inductive electrode by the cathode area corresponding to the position of the electrode area is more obvious than the interference with the inductive electrode by the cathode area corresponding to the position of the inductive sub-electrode. Therefore, in order to effectively alleviate the interference with the inductive electrode by the cathode, and avoid damage to the display function of the cathode as far as possible, preferably, the position in the cathode corresponding to the electrode area may be hollowed out.
The touch display panel provided by the embodiment of the disclosure includes a cathode, a plurality of inductive electrodes, and a plurality of drive electrodes, wherein the plurality of inductive electrodes and the plurality of drive electrodes are located in the same electrically conductive layer, and are intersected with each other and include at least one intersecting electrode area; the cathode includes at least one hollow-out area, and the position of each hollow-out area corresponds to the position of one of the electrode areas.
In this way, the relative area between the cathode and the inductive electrode may be reduced by hollowing out the area in the cathode corresponding to the overlapping portion between the inductive electrode and the drive electrode, thereby reducing the inductive capacitance between the cathode and the inductive electrode. In this way, when touching the touch display panel, owing to the reduced inductive capacitance between the cathode and the inductive electrode, compared with the prior art, the interference with the inductive electrode by the cathode may be alleviated and change in capacitance detected by the inductive electrode may be increased, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the inductive electrode and further improving the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel.
In an embodiment provided by the disclosure, in order to reduce the influence of the cathode in the touch display panel on the touch electrodes, a material for the encapsulation layer between the cathode and the touch electrode may be a material with low dielectric constant which may range from 3 to 8. The material with low dielectric constant may be silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride, and may also be other materials with low dielectric constant.
Thus, the inductive capacitance between the cathode and the touch electrodes in the touch layer in the display panel may be reduced. When touching the touch display panel, owing to the reduced inductive capacitance between the cathode and the inductive electrode and between the cathode and the drive electrode, compared with the prior art, the interference with the touch electrode by the cathode may be alleviated, thereby reducing the damage to the touch function of the touch display panel and improving the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel
In the embodiment of the disclosure, in order to further reduce interference between the cathode and the touch electrode, the thickness of the encapsulation layer may be between 1 and 10 μm.
In addition, in order to increase the inductive capacitance between the touch electrodes (i.e., between the drive electrode and the inductive electrode), the insulation layer between the drive electrode and the inductive electrode may adopt a material with high dielectric constant which may be greater than or equal to 30. The material with high dielectric constant may be silicon nitride, or titanium oxide, or may be other materials with high dielectric constant such as alumina, magnesia, or zirconia, and are not specifically limited herein.
In this way, the inductive capacitance between the inductive electrode and the drive electrode may be increased. When the touch display panel is touched, owing to the increased inductive capacitance between the inductive electrode and the drive electrode, the interference with the inductive electrode and the drive electrode by the cathode may be alleviated, thereby improving the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel.
In order to further increase the inductive capacitance between the inductive electrode and the drive electrode, the thickness of the insulation layer may also be set between 0.01 and 10 μm.
It should be noted that, in the existing touch display panel, because the distance between the display panel and the touch electrode is relatively close, the drive signal in the display panel is easy to interfere with the inductive electrode in the touch electrode, resulting in the damaged touch function.
In view of this, the embodiments of the disclosure also provide a touch display panel which includes: a first electrically conductive layer, a second electrically conductive layer, and a display panel, wherein the first electrically conductive layer includes a plurality of inductive electrodes; the second electrically conductive layer includes a plurality of a drive electrode; and the second electrically conductive layer is located between the first electrically conductive layer and the display panel; an orthographic projection area of the plurality of the inductive electrodes on the display panel falls into the orthographic projection area of the plurality of the drive electrodes on the display panel. Thus, since the drive electrode is located between the inductive electrode and the display panel, and the orthographic projection area of the inductive electrode on the display panel falls into the orthographic projection area of the drive electrode on the display panel, the electromagnetic field generated by drive signals may be effectively blocked or absorbed by the drive electrode. When the touch display panel is touched, the interference with the inductive electrode by the drive signal may be effectively alleviated, thereby ensuring the touch function of the touch display panel.

The X direction in
Thus, since the drive electrode 821 is located between the inductive electrode 811 and the display panel 83, and the orthographic projection area of the inductive electrode 811 on the display panel 83 falls into the orthographic projection area of the drive electrode 821 on the display panel 83, the electromagnetic field generated by drive signals in the display panel 83 may be effectively blocked or absorbed by the drive electrode 821, thereby alleviating the influence of the electromagnetic field on the inductive electrode. When the touch display panel is touched, the interference with the inductive electrode 811 by the drive signal may be effectively alleviated, thereby ensuring the touch function of the touch display panel.
In the touch display panel shown in
It can be seen in conjunction with
In this way, since the orthographic projection area of each inductive sub-electrode 8111 on the display panel 83 falls into the orthographic projection area of one of the drive sub-electrodes 8211 on the display panel 83, respectively, for each drive sub-electrode 8211, the electromagnetic field generated by the drive signals which interfere with one of the inductive electrodes 8111 may be effectively blocked or absorbed, thereby alleviating the interference with the inductive sub-electrode 8111 by the electromagnetic field. For the entire touch display panel, the interference with the inductive electrode 811 by the drive signal may be effectively alleviated.
In the touch display panel shown in
In other embodiments of the disclosure, the number of the inductive sub-electrodes included in at least one inductive electrode of the touch display panel may be greater than the number of the drive sub-electrodes included in one of the drive electrodes, and the orthographic projection area of at least one inductive sub-electrode on the display panel falls into the orthographic projection area of one of the drive sub-electrodes on the display panel.
For the drive sub-electrode 8211 shown in
Since the orthographic projection area of every two inductive sub-electrodes 8111 on the display panel 83 falls into the orthographic projection area of one of the drive sub-electrodes 8211 on the display panel 83, for each drive sub-electrode 8211, the electromagnetic field generated by the drive signals which interfere with the two inductive electrodes 8111 may be effectively blocked or absorbed, thereby alleviating the interference with the two inductive sub-electrodes 8111 by the electromagnetic field. For the entire touch display panel, the interference with the inductive electrode 811 by the drive signals may be effectively alleviated.

The plurality of filling blocks fill a gap between the plurality of drive electrodes;
The plurality of filling blocks are insulated from each other, and the plurality of filling blocks and the plurality of drive electrodes are insulated from each other.
As shown in
Since the plurality of filling blocks 822 are electrically conductive and fill the gap between the plurality of drive electrodes 821, the electromagnetic field of drive signals between the gaps of the plurality of drive electrodes 821 may be effectively blocked or absorbed, preventing the electromagnetic field from acting on the inductive electrode 811 by the gaps between the plurality of drive electrodes 821 and interfering with the inductive electrode 811. In other words, after the plurality of filling blocks 821 filling the gap between the plurality of drive electrodes 821, the interference with the inductive electrodes 811 by the electromagnetic field generated by the drive signal may be more effectively alleviated, thereby ensuring the touch function of the touch display panel.
The touch display panel provided by the embodiment of the disclosure includes: a first electrically conductive layer, a second electrically conductive layer, and a display panel, wherein the first electrically conductive layer includes a plurality of inductive electrodes; the second electrically conductive layer includes a plurality of a drive electrode; and the second electrically conductive layer is located between the first electrically conductive layer and the display panel; an orthographic projection area of the plurality of inductive electrodes on the display panel falls into an orthographic projection area of the plurality of drive electrodes on the display panel. Thus, since the drive electrode is located between the inductive electrode and the display panel and the orthographic projection area of the inductive electrode on the display panel falls into the orthographic projection area of the drive electrode on the display panel, the electromagnetic field generated by drive signals may be effectively blocked or absorbed by the drive electrode. When the touch display panel is touched, the interference with the inductive electrode by the drive signal may be effectively alleviated, thereby ensuring the touch function of the touch display panel.
