An end of the first branch electrode 5012 is electrically connected to an intersection between the first main electrode 5011 and the second main electrode 5021, and an included angle α between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrodes 5011 satisfies 0°<α<90°. For example, the included angle α is 30 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, or 80 degrees. Specifically, the included angle α between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrode 5011 is 45 degrees. Two first branch electrodes 5012 extend from one end of the first main electrode 5011 at the intersection between the first main electrode 5011 and the second main electrode 5021, and the two first branch electrodes 5012 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the first main electrode 5011.
Each of the first main electrode 5011 includes a plurality of first widened portions 50111 and a first connecting portion 50112 electrically connected to the first widened portions 50111. In the first main electrode 5011, a width of each of the first widened portions 50111 close to an intersection between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrode 5011 is smaller than a width of each of the first widened portions 50111 away from the intersection between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrode 5011, to achieve that a distance between the first main electrode 5011 and the first widened portions 50111 close to the intersection between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrode 5011 is smaller than a distance between the first main electrode 5011 and the first widened portions 50111 away from the intersection between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrode 5011, which can prevent a part of the second branch electrode 5022 between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrode 5011 from interruption with the other part of the second branch electrode 5022 caused by the smaller distance between the first branch electrode 5012 and the first main electrode 5011, and such interruption causes the mutual capacitance between the first touch sensing electrode 501 and the second touch sensing electrode 502 to decrease.
In this embodiment, each of the second branch electrodes 5022 surrounds one side of the first main electrode 5011. The first widened portions 50111 are matched and conformal with parts of the second branch electrodes 5022 corresponding to the first widened portions 50111, and the first connecting portions 50112 are matched and conformal with parts of the second branch electrode 5022 corresponding to the first connecting portions 50112, such that a boundary between the first main electrode 5011 and the second branch electrode 5022 is increased, and thus the mutual capacitance between the first touch sensing electrode 501 and the second touch sensing electrode 502 is further increased. Each of the first widened portions 50111 has a diamond shape. The first main electrode 5011 is not hollowed out. Since the impedance of each of the first touch sensing electrode channels is determined by the impedance of the first main electrode 5011 along the longitudinal axis, the non-hollowed-out first main electrode 5011 can maximize the reduction in impedance of the first touch sensing electrode 501.

Compared with the traditional technology, by adding the first connecting branch electrode 5023 between the second branch electrode 5022 and the second main electrode 5021, the transmission channels of the current on the second touch sensing electrode 502 is increased, and the resistance of the second touch sensing electrode 502 in the touch sensing unit 505 is reduced, thereby reducing the resistance of the entire second touch sensing electrode channels, thus beneficial to improve the touch sensing report rate. In addition, the second branch electrode 5022 surrounds the first branch electrode 5012 to increase the mutual capacitance between the first touch sensing electrode 501 and the second touch sensing electrode 502, such that touch sensing sensitivity is improved, further improving touch sensing performance.
An end of the second branch electrode 5022 is electrically connected to an intersection between the second main electrode 5021 and the first main electrode 5011, and an included angle β between the second branch electrode 5022 and the second main electrode 5021 satisfies 0°<β<90°. For example, the included angle β is 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, or 80 degrees. Specifically, the angle between the second branch electrode 5022 and the second main electrode 5021 is 45 degrees.
In this embodiment, the first branch electrode 5012 includes a plurality of second widened portions 50121 and second connecting portions 50122 electrically connected to the second widened portions 50121, and the second branch electrode 5022 surrounds corresponding ones of the second widened portions 50121 and the second connecting portions 50122. The second branch electrode 5022 surrounds the first branch electrode 5012, so that there is a long boundary between the second branch electrode 5022 and the first branch electrode 5012, and the mutual capacitance between the first branch electrode 5012 and the second branch electrode 5022 is larger, and meanwhile, the mutual capacitance electric field lines are distributed more uniformly, which is more conducive to improving the resolution and accuracy of detecting the touch sensing position. In addition, the second widened portions 50121 and the second connecting portion 50122 of the first branch electrode 5012 are matched and conformal with parts of the second branch electrodes 5022 corresponding to the second widened portions 50121, and the first connecting portions 50112 are matched and conformal with the second branch electrode 5022, to further increase the boundary between the first branch electrode 5012 and the second branch electrode 5022, and thus, the mutual capacitance between the first touch sensing electrode 501 and the second touch sensing electrode 502 is further increased.
In this embodiment, the shape of each of the second widened portions 50121 is rectangular. Compared with one second widened portion 50121, the plurality of second widened portions 50121 can increase the mutual capacitance between the first branch electrode 5012 and the second branch electrode 5022. Each of the second widened portions 50121 is rectangular, such that, compared with each of the second widened portions 50121 having a shape of square, more second widened portions 50121 can be provided on each of the first branch electrodes 5012, The mutual capacitance between the first branch electrode 5012 and the second branch electrode 5022 can be further increased. A number of the second widened portions 50121 is greater than two, and the top end of the first branch electrode 5012 away from the first main electrode 5011 is provided with a second widened portion 50121. In a width direction of the first branch electrode 5012, the first branch electrode 5012 surrounds at least two of the sub-pixels.
In this embodiment, the first touch sensing electrode 501 and the second main electrode 5021 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the first main electrode 5011 and the second main electrode 5021, and the second touch sensing electrode 502 and the second main electrode 5021 are disposed symmetrically with respect to the first main electrode 5011. In the same touch sensing unit 505, parts of the first main electrodes 5011 disposed on opposite sides of the intersection between the first main electrode 5011 and the second main electrode 5021 are connected to each other by a third connecting portion 5013, and the second main electrodes 5021 disposed on opposite sides of the intersection between the first main electrode 5011 and the second main electrode 5021 are connected by a fourth connecting portion 5025. The third connecting portion 5013 and the first main electrode 5011 are continuously formed. The fourth connecting portion 5025 includes two connecting bridges that are not connected to each other. The third connecting portion 5013 and the fourth connecting portion 5025 are insulated from each other.
In this embodiment, in a same one of the touch sensing units 505, a first hollow portion 502a is defined in a first region surrounded by corresponding ones of the first connecting branch electrode 5023, the second main electrode 5021. The first hollow portion 502a is provided in the first area to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the second touch sensing electrode 502 and a common cathode. The shape of the first hollow portion 502a is a triangle. The first hollow portion 502a is arranged along an edge of the second main electrode 5021 parallel to the second direction.
In this embodiment, the second touch sensing electrode 502 further includes a second connecting branch electrode 5024. One end of the second connecting branch electrode 5024 is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the second branch electrode 5022, and an opposite end of the second connecting branch electrode 5024 is electrically connected to an end of another second connecting branch electrode 5024 in an adjacent one of the touch sensing units 505 in the second direction, to increase the transmission channels of current between the two second touch sensing electrodes 502 in the adjacent ones of the touch sensing units 505, and to reduce the impedance of the second touch sensing electrode channel, thereby improving the touch sensing report rate.
In adjacent ones of the touch sensing units 505 along the second direction, a second hollow portion 502b is defined in a second region surrounded by corresponding ones of the second connecting branch electrode 5024 and the second branch electrode 5022, to further reduce the parasitic capacitance between the second touch sensing electrode 502 and the common cathode, and reduce the influence of the parasitic capacitance on the touch sensing performance. The second hollow portion 502b has a rhombus shape.
In this embodiment, an end of the second branch electrode 5022 away from an opposite end of the second branch electrode 5022 connected to the second main electrode 5021 is electrically connected to an end of another second branch electrode 5022 in an adjacent one of the touch sensing units 505 in the second direction, so that the second branch electrodes 5022 in adjacent ones of the touch sensing units 505 are continuously conducted, and the resistance of the second touch sensing electrode channel is reduced, thereby improving the touch sensing report rate.
In this embodiment, in a same one of the touch sensing units 505, a third hollow portion 502c is defined in a third region surrounded by corresponding ones of the first connecting branch electrode 5023, the second connecting branch electrode 5024, the second main electrode 5021, and the second branch electrode 5022, such that, by adding the third hollow portion 502c, the parasitic capacitance between the second touch sensing electrode 502 and the common cathode can be further reduced.
In this embodiment, the first hollow portion 502a, the second hollow portion 502b, and the third hollow portion 502c are spaced apart from each other and arranged in parallel to each other to reduce the parasitic capacitance of the second touch sensing electrode 502.

In addition, the first hollow portion 502a, the second hollow portion 502b, and the third hollow portion 502c are disposed on one side of the first main electrode 5021, and disposing the hollow portions in a partial area of the branch electrode of the second touch electrode 502 reduces the parasitic capacitance of the second touch electrode 502 while avoiding the risk of increasing the impedance of the second touch electrode channel, compared with the case that the hollow portions are disposed on the second main electrode 5021, resulting in an increase in the impedance of the second main electrode 5021.

In this embodiment, the first connecting branch electrode 5023 is disposed corresponding to the second widened portions 50121 of the first branch electrode 5012 adjacent to the first connecting branch electrode 5023, and the second connecting branch electrode 5024 is disposed corresponding to the second widened portions 50121 of the first branch electrode 5012 adjacent to the second connecting branch electrode 5024, so that mutual capacitance is formed between the first connecting branch electrode 5023 and the corresponding ones of the second widened portions 50121 of the first branch electrode 5012 and formed between the second connecting branch electrode 5024 and the corresponding ones of the second widened portions 50121 of the first branch electrode 5012.

Through simulation, the mutual capacitance of the touch sensing unit composed of the first touch sensing electrode 501 and the second touch sensing electrode 502 in this embodiment applied to a non-foldable touch sensing display device is 0.07 picofarad. The first branch electrode 5012 only extends from opposite side of one end of the first main electrode 5011, so that the touch sensing electrode composed of the first touch sensing electrode 501 and the second touch sensing electrode 502 is more suitable for a plane sensing display device or a touch sensing display device with a non-foldable arc. Compared with the touch sensing electrodes with two or more first branch electrodes extending from one side of each first main electrode which are only suitable for dynamically foldable screens, because the non-foldable touch sensing display devices have relatively thick modules, the touch sensing electrodes with two or more first branch electrodes extending from one side of each first main electrode are not suitable for a plane sensing display device or a touch sensing display device with a non-foldable arc. In addition, the design solution of the touch sensing assembly of the present application can avoid a decreased sensing frequency of the touch sensing screen caused by insufficient charging of the touch sensing electrode due to the excessively large resistive-capacitive delay (RC delay) of the touch sensing screen under the premise of increasing the signal volume during touch sensing by a finger. (Sensing Frequency), thereby avoiding impacting on key indicators touch sensing performance such as a reporting rate.
