At present, in order to retain the front camera and other sensors while increasing the screen ratio, a notch design is required on the upper edge of the touch substrate. In this case, because the upper edge of the touch substrate adopts a notch design and is formed with a notch region, touch electrode patterns are disconnected at the above notch region, and a special design is required to connect the touch electrodes on two sides of the notch region, and lead lines of the touch electrodes are required to be arranged reasonably.


On the other hand, the touch substrate usually adopts a rounded corner design, and touch-sensing electrodes will be cut at the position of the rounded corner. As a result, the touch electrode at the position of the rounded corner needs to be connected to the corresponding touch electrode connection line by a jumper line design.

Hereinafter, the touch substrate and the touch display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.



FIG. 1 is a planar diagram of a touch substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 2 is an enlarged diagram of a touch substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure at the position of the dashed frame in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the touch substrate 100 includes a base substrate 110 and a plurality of first touch electrodes 120 and a plurality of second touch electrodes 130 on the base substrate 110. The plurality of first touch electrodes 120 are arranged along a first direction X; and the plurality of second touch electrodes 130 are arranged along a second direction Y The touch substrate 100 includes a touch region 101 and a notch region 102 at an edge portion 1012 of the touch region 101 in the second direction Y, the plurality of first touch electrodes 120 include at least one first notch touch electrode 122 extending to the notch region 102, and the touch substrate 100 further includes a touch-driving connection line 140 connected to each first notch touch electrode 122. It should be noted that the first notch touch electrode 122 refers to the first touch electrode 120 that extends from the touch region 101 to the notch region 102 in the second direction; for simplicity, FIG. 1 shows only two touch electrode drive connection lines, each first notch touch electrode of the touch substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be connected to one touch-driving connection line. It should be noted that each first touch electrode is a touch electrode extending along the second direction, and the plurality of first touch electrodes are arranged along the first direction; each second touch electrode is a touch electrode extending along the first direction, and the plurality of second touch electrodes are arranged along the second direction. In addition, the above first direction and the second direction are two directions in a plane where the touch substrate is located and intersecting each other, for example, perpendicular to each other.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the plurality of second touch electrodes 130 include at least one second disconnection touch electrode 132 that is disconnected at the notch region 102, and each second disconnection touch electrode 132 includes a first sub portion 1321 and a second sub portion 1322 respectively on two sides of the notch region 102. The touch substrate 100 further includes a bridge line 150, which at least partially extends along the edge 1021 of the notch region 102 close to the touch region 101 and connects the first sub portion 1321 with the second sub portion 1322, at least one touch-driving connection line 140 extends along the edge 1021 of the notch region 102 close to the touch region 101 and extends to the edge 1022 of the notch region 102 away from the touch region 101. The touch substrate 100 further includes a shielding line 160, an orthographic projection of at least a part of the shielding line 160 on the base substrate 110 is between an orthographic projection of the bridge line 150 on the base substrate 110 and an orthographic projection of the touch-driving connection line 140 on the base substrate 110. It should be noted that the above first touch electrode may be a touch-driving electrode, and the above second touch electrode may be a touch-sensing electrode; of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to this case, the above first touch electrode may also be a touch-sensing electrode, and the second touch electrode may also be a touch-driving electrode.


It should be noted that, the touch-driving connection line and the bridge line are adjacent to each other, and a TX signal on the touch-driving connection line and a RX signal on the bridge line have a potential difference. Due to the existence of coupling capacitance, the problem of the TX signal charge escape will be caused, and then the signal-to-noise ratio will be reduced. In the present disclosure, the shielding line (guard line) is provided between the touch-driving connection line and the bridge line, and the shielding line can be applied with a guard signal, the guard signal is an AC signal (square wave), which is the same as the TX signal applied to the touch-driving connection line. In this way, the potential difference between TX signal and guard signal is always 0, so the signal-to-noise ratio is prevented from being reduced due to charge escape distortion, which plays a role in shielding interference and improving the signal-to-noise ratio.


The touch substrate can electrically connect the first sub portion with the second sub portion of the second disconnection touch electrode that are disconnected at the notch region by providing the above bridge line; on the other hand, the touch substrate can prevent signal interference between the bridge line and the touch-driving connection line by providing the shielding line between the bridge line and the touch-driving connection line, so as to avoid affecting the touch performance.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 1, because three sides of the notch region are surrounded by the touch region, the edge 1021 of the touch region 101 close to the notch region 102 is located at the three sides of the notch region 102 surrounded by the touch region 101, that is, the notch region 102 is surrounded only by the edge 1021 of the notch region 102 close to the touch region 101 and the edge 1022 of the notch region 102 away from the touch region 101.


For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the touch region 101 and the notch region 102 of the touch substrate 100 may constitute a rectangular region. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the notch region 102 may be a rounded rectangle with two rounded corners close to the touch region 101.


For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the first touch electrode 120 and the second touch electrode 130 may be made of the same conductive layer. For example, the second touch electrode 130 may be a continuous electrode extending along the first direction, and the first touch electrode 120 may include a plurality of block electrodes separated by the second touch electrode 130 and a plurality of electrode bridge structure electrically connecting the plurality of block electrodes. Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited thereto, and the layout of the first touch electrode and the second touch electrode can refer to the conventional design.


For example, the first touch electrode 120 and the second touch electrode 130 may be made of a metal material, or a conductive metal oxide such as indium tin oxide.


For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the touch substrate 100 further includes: a grounded line 190 located on a side of the bridge line 150 away from the touch region 101.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, the bridge line 150 includes a bridge main portion 151 and first U-shaped bent portions 152 located at two ends of the bridge main portion 151; each of the first U-shaped bent portions 152 is connected to the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322. The first U-shaped bent portion 152 includes a first bent portion 1521 extending substantially along the second direction, a second bent portion 1522 extending substantially along the second direction, and a first connection portion 1523 extending substantially along the first direction and connecting the first bent portion 1521 with the second bent portion 1522, and the first bent portion 1521 is connected to the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322. In other words, the portion of the bridge line 150 that is electrically connected to the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322 is the first U-shaped bent portion 152. The first bent portion 1521 can enhance the connection stability of the bridge line 150 and the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322 and reduce the connection resistance. It should be noted that the “extending substantially in the second direction” includes the case of strictly extending in the second direction, and also includes the case where the angle between the extending direction and the second direction is less than or equal to 45 degrees.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an orthographic projection of the first bent portion 152 on the base substrate 110 at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322 on the base substrate 110.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, two first U-shaped bent portions 152 located at two ends of the bridge line 150 are axially symmetric with respect to a perpendicular bisector of the bridge line 150. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322 of the second disconnection touch electrode 132 is in a different layer from the first bent portion 1521. An insulating layer (not shown in FIG. 2) may be provided between the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322 and the first bent portion 1521. In this case, the first sub portion 1321 or the second sub portion 1322 may be electrically connected to the first bent portion 1521 by a through-hole connection structure 180. It should be noted that the through-hole connection structure 180 may include a through-hole in the insulating layer and a conductive structure in the through-hole. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific structure of the through-hole connection structure.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, the second bent portion 1522 connected to the bridge main portion 151 may include two portions that are respectively located in the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer and are electrically connected with each other. Similarly, the bridge main portion 151 also includes two portions that are respectively located in the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer and are electrically connected with each other, that is, the bridge main portion 151 may have a double-layer structure.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case where the bridge line 150 includes the first U-shaped bent portion 152, the shielding line 160 includes a shielding main portion 161 and second U-shaped bent portions 162 located at two ends of the shield main portion 161. The second U-shaped bent portion 162 includes a third bent portion 1621 extending substantially along the second direction, a fourth bent portion 1622 extending substantially along the second direction, and a second connection portion 1623 extending substantially along the first direction and connecting the fourth bent portion 1622 with the fourth bent portion 1622. The second U-shaped bent portion 162 is located in a region enclosed by the first bent portion 1521, the second bent portion 1522 and the first connection portion 1523. The first connection portion 1523 and the second connection portion 1623 are substantially parallel. An opening direction of the second U-shaped bent portion 162 and an opening direction of the first U-shaped bent portion 152 are the same. Therefore, in the case where the bridge line 150 includes the first U-shaped bent portion 152, the shielding line 160 provided with the second U-shaped bent portion 162 can better prevent the signal interference between the bridge line and the touch-driving connection line, so as to avoid affecting the touch performance.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, because the touch-driving connection line 140 extends along the edge 1021 of the notch region 102 close to the touch region 101 and extends to the edge 1022 of the notch region 102 away from the touch region 101, the touch-driving connection line 140 overlaps with the first U-shaped bent portion 152. In this case, in the region enclosed by the first U-shaped bent portion 152, an orthographic projection of the touch-driving connection line 140 on the base substrate 110 is between an orthographic projection of the third bent portion 1621 on the base substrate 110 and an orthographic projection of the fourth bent portion 1622 on the base substrate 110 and overlaps with orthographic projections of the first connection portion 1523 and the second connection portion 1623 on the base substrate 110. In this case, the third bent portion 1621 of the shielding line 160 can better prevent signal interference between the touch-driving connection line 140 and the first bent portion 1521 of the bridge line 150, and the fourth bent portion 1622 of the shielding line 160 can better prevent signal interference between the touch-driving connection line 140 and the second bent portion 1522 of the bridge line 150.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, in the overlapping region of the touch-driving connection line 140 and the first U-shaped bent portion 152 and the second U-shaped bent portion 162, the touch-driving connection line 140 includes a first sub touch-driving connection line 141 and a second sub touch-driving connection line 142 on two sides of the whole composed of the first connection portion 1523 and the second connection portion 1623; for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the touch-driving connection line 140 includes a first sub touch-driving connection line 141 located on a side of the second connection portion 1623 away from the first connection portion 1523 and a second sub touch-driving connection line 142 located on a side of the first connection portion 1523 away from the second connection portion 1623. The touch substrate 100 includes a bridge portion 143 connecting the first sub touch-driving connection line 141 with the second sub touch-driving connection line 142. Thus, by providing the bridge portion 143, the touch-driving connection line 140 can pass through the first connection portion 1523 and the second connection portion 1623, and can effectively prevent signal interference of the first connection portion 1523 and the second connection portion 1623 to the touch-driving connection line 140.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, the shielding line 160 further includes an L-shaped bent portion 164 located on a side of the first connection portion 1523 away from the second connection portion 1623. The L-shaped bent portion 164 includes a first extension portion 1641 extending substantially along the first direction and a second extension portion 1642 connected to the first extension portion 1641 and extending substantially along the second direction, the first sub touch-driving connection line 141 is located on a side of the second connection portion 1623 away from the first connection portion 1523, the first extension portion 1641 is located between the first connection portion 1523 and the second sub touch-driving connection line 142, and the second extension portion 1642 is substantially parallel to the second sub touch-driving connection line 142. Therefore, the L-shaped bent portion 164 can effectively prevent the signal interference between the second sub touch-driving connection line 142 of the touch-driving connection line 140 and the bridge line 150.



FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional diagram of a touch substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure taken along an AA direction in FIG. 2; and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional diagram of a touch substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure taken along a BB direction in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first connecting portion 1523 and the second connecting portion 1623 may be arranged in the same layer. The bridge portion 143 includes a first through-hole connection portion 1431, a second through-hole connection portion 1432, and a third connection portion 1433; the third connection portion 1433 is arranged in a different layer from the first connection portion 1523, the second connection portion 1623, the first sub touch-driving connection line 141 and the second sub touch-driving connection line 142, the first through-hole connection portion 1431 connects the third connection portion 1433 with the first sub touch-driving connection line 141, and the second through-hole connection portion 1432 connects the third connection portion 1433 with the second sub touch-driving connection line 142. An insulating layer 170 is provided between the third connection portion 1433 and the first connection portion 1523. Because of the insulating effect of the insulating layer 170, the parasitic capacitance formed between the third connection portion 1433 and the first connection portion 1523 is small, so that the signal interference between the third connection portion 1433 and the first connection portion 1523 is weaker, which causes small effect on the touch effect.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, the third connection portion 1433 is located in the first conductive layer, that is, the third connection portion 1433 is a part of the first conductive layer, and the first sub touch-driving connection line 141 and the second sub touch-driving connection line 142 are located in the second conductive layer, that is, the first sub touch-driving connection line 141 and the second sub touch-driving connection line 142 are parts of the second conductive layer. An insulating layer 170 is provided between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, and the first through-hole connection portion 1431 and the second through-hole connection portion 1432 are provided in the insulating layer 170.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, an orthographic projection of the third connection portion 1433 on the base substrate 110 overlaps with an orthographic projection of the first sub touch-driving connection line 141 on the base substrate 110 and an orthographic projection of the second sub touch-driving connection line 142 on the base substrate 110, respectively.

Thus, when forming the second through-hole connection portion and the third through-hole connection portion described above, various defects caused by the punching position of the second through-hole connection portion and the punching position of the third through-hole connection portion being close can be avoided.


In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, an orthographic projection of the fourth connection portion 168 on the base substrate 110 overlaps with an orthographic projection of the fourth bent portion 1622 on the base substrate 110 and an orthographic projection of the second extension portion 1642 on the base substrate 110, respectively.

An orthographic projection of the first sub-bridge line 166 on the base substrate 110 at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the third bent portion 1621 on the base substrate 110, and the first sub-bridge line 166 and the third bent portion 1621 are electrically connected by the through-hole connection structure 180, thereby reducing the resistance of the shielding line 160. An orthographic projection of the second sub-bridge line 168 on the base substrate 110 at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the fourth bent portion 1622 on the base substrate 110, and the second sub-bridge line 168 and the fourth bent portion 1622 are connected by the through-hole connection structure 180, so that the resistance of the shielding line 160 can be reduced. It should be noted that the second sub-bridge line 168 may be a part of the fourth connection portion 168. It should be noted that the centers of all the through-hole connection structures may be staggered in the second direction, so as to avoid various defects caused by the close punching positions.

The touch substrate 100 further includes a shielding line bridge portion 390 connecting the first sub-shielding line 3701 with the second sub-shielding line 3702. Thus, by providing the shielding line bridge portion 390, the second shielding line 370 can pass through the first connection portion 3523 of the first U-shaped bent portion 352 and the second connection portion 3623 of the second U-shaped bent portion 362, and can further prevent the signal interference of the second bent portion 3522 to the touch-driving connection line 140.
