Illustrate to simplify, this will not be repeated here for the same or similar structure, herein only to common electrode layer 114 and leading Electric layer 116 and its testing principle illustrate.In the present embodiment, capacitance touch is shown as surface capacitance type, specifically, public Common electrode layer 114 and conductive layer 116 have an even resistance, conductive layer 116 can be one layer do not have figuratum indium tin oxide layer or IZO layer, it is not necessary to perform etching.By switch switching unit common electrode layer 114 or conductive layer 116 can be selected to make The working lining shown for capacitance touch.Apply drive signal in four apex angles of working lining, while detect the electricity of four apex angles Stream can detect touch location.
Figure 13 is the equivalent circuit for the working lining that the present embodiment capacitance touch is shown, which employs surface capacitance type touch-control Testing principle, it is described in detail below:When finger touch working lining 131, between the working lining and finger of finger touch position just etc. Imitate as the capacitance C of a ground connection, therefore a turning circuit is formed from AC power 132 to finger, so as to generate electricity Stream.Resistance R1, R2, R3 between the electric current I1, I2, I3, I4 and touch point P to four apex angle of generation, R4 are inversely proportional, and this four A resistance R1, R2, R3, the value of R4 again with touch point P to upper left corner UL, upper right corner UR, lower left corner LL, the distance of lower right corner LR into Direct ratio, therefore by detecting electric current I1, I2, I3, I4 on four apex angles, it is possible to determine the touch location P of finger.
The flow chart of the forming method of the present embodiment electronic ink display panel is as shown in figure 14, with reference to Figure 11 and Figure 14, The forming method that the present embodiment integrates the electronic ink display panel of surface capacitance type touch screen includes:
Step S41, there is provided glass substrate 111.
Step S42, sequentially forms tft layer 112, electronic ink layer 113, public on the glass substrate 111 114 and first protective layer 115 of electrode layer, the common electrode layer 114 have uniform resistance.Common electrode layer connecting valve is cut Unit is changed, four apex angles of common electrode layer are connected to detection circuit.
Step S43, forms conductive layer 116 on first protective layer 115, and the conductive layer 116 has uniform electricity Resistance.Conductive layer connecting valve switch unit, four apex angles of conductive layer are connected to detection circuit.
Step S44, forms the second protective layer 117 on the conductive layer 116.
Surface capacitance type touch screen is integrated in electronic ink display panel by the present embodiment, and surface capacitance type touches display Working lining can be with the common electrode layer of shared electron ink display panel or independent conductive layer, to capacitance touch The working lining of display backs up, thus adds the flexibility used.Since conductive layer need not perform etching, thus simplify Technique.
In conclusion the electronic ink display panel of the integrated capacitive touch screen of above-described embodiment, in electronic ink layer The upper working lining for forming capacitance touch and showing, the working lining and the public affairs of electronic ink display panel that the capacitance touch is shown Common electrode layer shares, and for the electric ink display screen of existing integrated resistor formula touch-screen, formation process is simpler, And there is more preferable touch detection performance and longer service life;Compared to existing by electric ink display screen and capacitance For formula touch-screen fits together, the thickness of display screen can not be increased, and do not influence the light transmittance and contrast of display.
Further, since to the electric field sum of zero of the drive signal (sine wave or pulse square wave signal) added by touch-screen, It does not interfere with the charged pigment particles electrophoresis of electronic ink layer, therefore will not change the display of display screen.
Although the present invention is disclosed as above with preferred embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this.Any art technology Personnel, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can make various changes or modifications, therefore protection scope of the present invention should When being subject to claim limited range.
