Description

BACKGROUND

Field

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of display devices, and more particularly to a touch display panel.

Background

With the rapid development of display technology, touch screen panels have been gradually increased throughout the life of people. Compared with a conventional display device capable of providing a display function, a display device using a touch screen can enable information interaction between a user and a display control host. Therefore, the touch screen panels can completely or at least partially replace common input devices, such that the conventional display device can perform not only the display function, but also the touch control.

An active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) panel is often used in a touch screen panel, where for an AMOLED panel, ultra-thin and ultra-narrow technology is one of the development trends. The ultra-narrow bezel design may effectively improve the screen occupation ratio of the panel. The larger the screen occupation ratio of the panel, the larger the screen that can be used in the same volume of the panel, or the screen size is reduced when the volume of the panel is unchanged. The AMOLED panel is more convenient to carry, the weight is relatively light, and the experience of the touch control is better.

FIG. 1 illustrates a touch screen structure of the AMOLED panel, where a driving electrode lead 13 and an induction electrode lead 12 are respectively connected to two sides of an integrated circuit 15 (IC), and a data line 14 at an active area 11 (i.e., AA region) leads to an intermediate position of the IC 15. Because the single-side leads corresponding to the induction electrode lead 12 are relatively large, a width of the lower bezel of a touch screen can be increased by wires of the touch screen side to the induction electrode lead 12 of the IC 15, thereby affecting the width of the overall lower bezel of the AMOLED panel.

In a touch display panel of the prior art, a number of the single-side leads of the induction electrode lead 12 is greater, thereby increasing the width of the bezel, such that the screen occupation ratio of the panel is difficult to improve.

In a touch screen structure of the AMOLED panel, a driving electrode lead and an induction electrode lead are respectively connected to two sides of an integrated circuit (IC), and a data line at an active area (i.e., AA region) leads to an intermediate position of the IC. Because the single-side leads corresponding to the induction electrode are relatively large, a width of the lower bezel of a touch screen can be increased by wires of the touch screen side to the induction electrode lead of the IC, thereby affecting the width of the overall lower bezel of the AMOLED panel, such that the screen occupation ratio of the panel is difficult to improve.
