Background
With the improvement of display technology, the display panel technology is also developing toward diversification. Users prefer a thin and light display panel with a touch function and high resolution. Existing touch technologies include self-capacitance touch technology and mutual capacitance touch technology.

Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant application and are not limiting of the application. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the present application are shown in the drawings.
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
Please refer to fig. 1, which schematically illustrates a structure of an array substrate provided in the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, the array substrate 100 may include a plurality of touch electrodes 11, and the touch electrodes 11 are arranged in an array. The touch electrode 11 may be formed in a rectangular shape, a square shape, a triangular shape, etc., and the shape of the touch electrode is not limited herein. The touch electrode 11 may be formed of a transparent conductive material or may be formed of a metal mesh.
The array substrate 100 is provided with a plurality of touch signal line groups, wherein the touch signal line group includes a first touch signal line group 12 and a second touch signal line group 13. Each of the touch signal line groups is connected to the touch electrodes 11 in a one-to-one correspondence.
In this embodiment, the first touch signal line group 12 may include at least two touch signal lines 14, that is, 3 touch signal lines, 4 touch signal lines, and the like, which is not limited herein. As shown in fig. 1, the touch signal lines 14 in the same first touch signal line group 12 are all connected to the same touch electrode. The second touch signal line group 13 may include at least one touch signal line 14, and each touch signal line 14 in the same second touch signal line group 13 is connected to the same touch electrode.
In this embodiment, the number of the touch signal lines 14 in the first touch signal line group 12 is greater than the number of the touch signal lines 14 in the second touch signal line group 13.
In this embodiment, the touch signal lines 14 and the touch electrodes 11 in each of the touch signal line groups may be disposed on the same conductive layer, or may be disposed on different conductive layers. When the touch signal lines 14 are disposed on different layers from the touch electrodes 11, the touch signal lines may be electrically connected to the touch electrodes 11 through the vias 15.
In a specific application scenario, each touch signal line in the second touch signal line group 13 may be obtained by splitting one or more touch signal lines 14 connected together in the first touch signal line group 12. As shown in fig. 1, two adjacent second touch signal line groups 13 including one touch signal line can be obtained by splitting the same first touch signal line group 12 including two connected touch signal lines. And simultaneously connecting the split touch signal lines 14 to different touch electrodes 11 through the via holes 15.
As can be seen from fig. 1, each touch signal line 14 extends along a first direction X and is disposed along a second direction Y, wherein the X direction intersects the Y direction. Here, the X direction may be regarded as a row direction, and the Y direction may be regarded as a column direction. The connection modes of the touch electrodes 11 in the same row and the touch signal lines are the same. For example, in fig. 1, each touch electrode 11 in the first row is connected to one first touch signal line group 12 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and each touch electrode 11 in the last row is connected to one second touch signal line group 13 in a one-to-one correspondence manner.
In this embodiment, in order to avoid the visibility of the display of the touch signal line 14, the orthographic projection of the touch signal line 14 to the pixel electrode layer on the array substrate 100 is usually located between the display pixels. Since the number and arrangement of the display pixels on the array substrate 100 are determined, the number of the touch signal lines that can be disposed in the pixel space area is also determined. Since the number of the touch signal lines included in the first touch signal line group is greater than the number of the touch signal lines included in the second touch signal line group, compared with a scheme in which each of the touch electrodes is electrically connected to each of the touch signal lines of one of the first touch signal line groups, by electrically connecting a part of the touch electrodes to each of the touch signal lines in the first touch signal line group and electrically connecting another part of the touch electrodes to each of the touch signal lines in the second touch signal line group, the number of the touch electrodes can be set as much as possible on the premise that the number of the touch signal lines is not changed, thereby improving the touch detection accuracy of the array substrate 100.
In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the first touch signal line group 12 may include 2n touch signal lines, and the second touch signal line group 13 may include n touch signal lines, so that the touch signal lines in the first touch group 12 may be divided into two and provided to the two touch electrodes, thereby improving the uniformity of the distribution of the touch signal lines on the array substrate.
In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the first touch signal line group 12 includes two first touch signal lines, and the second touch signal line group 13 includes one touch signal line. Fig. 1 shows a case where the first touch signal line group 12 includes two touch signal lines and the second touch signal line group 13 includes one touch signal line.
It should be noted that fig. 1 only illustrates the connection relationship between the touch electrodes and the touch signal lines by taking that the first touch signal line group includes 2 touch signal lines and the second touch signal line group includes 1 touch signal line as an example, and the embodiment of the present application does not specially limit the number of touch signal lines in the first touch signal line group and the number of touch signal lines in the first touch signal line group. In an actual scenario, the number of touch signal lines in the first touch signal line group and the number of touch signal lines in the second touch signal line group may be determined according to the requirement of the number of touch electrodes.
Continuing to refer to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of another embodiment of an array substrate provided by the present application is shown.
As shown in fig. 2, the array substrate 200 includes a plurality of touch electrodes, and a plurality of touch signal line groups electrically connected to the touch electrodes, where the touch signal line group includes a first touch signal line group 22 and a second touch signal line group 23, each first touch signal line group 22 includes at least two touch signal lines 24, and each second touch signal line group 23 includes at least one touch signal line 24.
In this embodiment, the array substrate 200 further includes an integrated circuit 26, wherein the touch electrode 21 includes a first touch electrode 211 electrically connected to the first touch signal line group 22 and a second touch electrode 212 electrically connected to the second touch signal line group 23. The touch signal lines 24 extend along a first direction X and are disposed along a second direction Y, wherein the first direction X intersects the second direction Y. Along the first direction X, the distance between the first touch electrode 211 and the integrated circuit 26 is greater than the distance between the second touch electrode 212 and the integrated circuit 26.
Generally, the array substrate includes a display area and a frame area located around the display area, as shown in fig. 2, an upper frame area, a touch signal line 24 and a lower frame area are sequentially arranged along a first direction X, the integrated circuit 26 is disposed in the lower frame area of the array substrate 200, the lower frame area is located in a non-display area of the array substrate 200, the touch electrode is generally located in the display area of the array substrate 200, various signal traces such as a touch electrode and a data signal line connecting the integrated circuit 26 and the display area are disposed between the display area and the non-display area of the array substrate, and the signal traces and the touch electrode 22 are generally disposed in different conductor layers. In order to meet the design of the narrow frame of the array substrate, the upper frame area of the array substrate is usually set to be narrower, and there are no more positions where the traces, the touch electrodes, and the like can be arranged. Therefore, when a row of touch electrodes needs to be added on the array substrate 200 along the first direction X, the touch electrodes need to be added are usually disposed near the lower frame region of the integrated circuit 26. The added touch electrodes are the second touch electrodes 212. The touch electrode before the row is added is the first touch electrode 211.
The second touch electrodes 212 need to be connected to the integrated circuit 26 by corresponding touch signal lines, and since the number of the previous first touch electrodes 211 is determined, the number of the touch signal lines connected to the first touch electrodes 211 is determined, and it is difficult to increase the number of the touch signal lines. Therefore, the touch signal line group electrically connected to the first touch electrode 211 is set as a first touch signal line group, when one or more rows of second touch electrodes 212 need to be added, one or more touch signal lines in the first touch signal line group electrically connected to the first touch electrode 211 closest to the second touch electrode 212 can be separated and connected to the second touch electrode 212 through punching, and the separated touch signal line group connected to the second touch electrode 212 is the second touch signal line group 23.
As can be seen from the above, unlike the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment further defines the positions of the first touch electrode, the first touch signal line group, and the second touch signal line group on the array substrate. By this definition, the touch accuracy of the array substrate can be further improved.
It should be noted that, the embodiment shown in fig. 2 only illustrates a case where one row of touch electrodes is added along the first direction X, which is not limited in the present application, and multiple rows of touch electrodes may be disposed according to the needs of the scene. Correspondingly, the number of the first touch signal line groups is correspondingly increased according to the number of the rows of the set touch electrodes.
Optionally, the array substrate 200 further includes a third frame area, a display area AA and a fourth frame area arranged along the second direction Y, the common touch signal line is arranged in the display area AA, and the touch signal line group arranged at the edge of the array substrate 200 close to the third frame area and/or the fourth frame area is the first touch signal line group 22. By setting the touch signal line group located at the edge of the array substrate 200 as the first touch signal line group 22, the risk of touch signal line breakage at the edge of the array substrate due to exposure problems is avoided, and thus good contact between the touch signal line located at the edge and the touch electrode is improved.
Please refer to fig. 3, which shows a schematic diagram of a position relationship between a touch signal line and a pixel electrode.
As shown in fig. 3, the array substrate 300 is further provided with a pixel electrode layer provided with a plurality of sub-pixels 31 arranged in an array. As shown in fig. 3, the sub-pixels 31 may be divided into a plurality of sub-pixel groups, each of which includes a red sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a green sub-pixel. The sub-pixels in two adjacent rows are arranged in a staggered mode.
The array substrate 300 further includes a plurality of first touch signal line groups including two first touch signal lines 32 and a plurality of second touch signal line groups including one touch signal line 32. The touch signal line 32 is formed on the metal conductor layer, and is located at a different layer from the pixel electrode layer. In the first direction X shown in fig. 3, the orthographic projection of the touch signal line 32 onto the pixel electrode layer is located between two columns of sub-pixels arranged in the second direction Y shown in fig. 3.
Alternatively, the sub-pixels may include a first color sub-pixel and a second color sub-pixel, where the first color sub-pixel may be any one of the red, green, or blue sub-pixels, and the second color sub-pixel may also be any one of the red, green, or blue sub-pixels, but the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel are sub-pixels with different colors. Each touch signal line 32 is disposed between the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel, that is, each touch signal line 32 is adjacent to the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel. By arranging each touch signal line 32 between the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel, uneven display due to the distribution of the touch signal lines when the display panel displays images due to the arrangement of the touch signal lines between the sub-pixels of different colors can be reduced, thereby improving the display uniformity of the array substrate.
Please refer to fig. 4a and fig. 4b, which are schematic diagrams illustrating a position relationship between the touch electrode and the touch signal line provided in the present application.
As shown in fig. 4a, the array substrate 400 includes a substrate 41 and a metal conductor layer 42 disposed on the substrate 41. The touch signal line 421 is formed on the metal conductor layer 42. The array substrate 400 further includes a first conductive layer 43, and the first conductive layer 43 is disposed on a side of the pixel electrode layer away from the substrate. The touch electrode 431 is formed on the first conductive layer 43. An insulating layer 44 is disposed between the first conductive layer 43 and the metal conductive layer 42, a plurality of via holes 45 are formed in the insulating layer 44, and each touch signal line is electrically connected to each touch electrode 431 located on the first conductive layer 43 through the via hole 45.
As shown in fig. 4b, another connection manner between the touch electrode and the touch signal line is shown. The array substrate 400 includes a substrate 41, and a metal conductor layer 42, a first conductor layer 43, a first insulation layer 44, a second conductor layer 46, and a second insulation layer 47 are disposed on the substrate 41. Here, the first insulating layer 44 is formed between the metal conductor layer 42 and the first conductor layer 43, and the second insulating layer 47 is formed between the first conductor layer 43 and the second conductor layer 46. Thus, the first insulating layer 44 separates the first conductor layer 43 from the metal conductor layer 42, and the second insulating layer 47 separates the first conductor layer 43 from the second conductor layer 46.
The touch electrode 431 is formed to be in contact with the first conductive layer 43, a plurality of conductive blocks 461 are formed on the second conductive layer 46, a plurality of first via holes 471 are formed on the second insulating layer 47, and each touch electrode 431 is electrically connected to the conductive block 461 through the first via hole 471.
A plurality of second via holes 472 are further formed in the second insulating layer 47, a plurality of third via holes 441 are further formed in the first insulating layer 44, and a plurality of touch signal lines 421 are formed in the metal conductor layer 42. As can be seen in fig. 4b, the second via 472 communicates with the third via 441. The conductive block 461 is electrically connected to one of the touch signal lines 421 located in the metal conductive layer 42 through the second via hole 472 and the third via hole 441. A bridging structure is formed among the first via 471, the second via 472, and the third via 441. In this way, one of the touch signal lines 421 located in the metal conductor layer 42 is electrically connected to the conductor block 461 located in the second conductor layer 46 through the second via hole 472, the third via hole 441 and one of the touch electrodes 431 located in the first conductor layer 43 through the first via hole 471, so that the touch signal line 421 and the touch electrode 431 are electrically connected.
With continued reference to fig. 5, a schematic structural diagram of yet another array substrate provided herein is shown.
As shown in fig. 5, a plurality of touch electrodes 521 arranged in an array and a plurality of touch signal lines 511 are disposed on the array substrate 500, and each touch electrode 521 is connected to at least one of the touch signal lines 511.
The display panel 500 is further provided with an integrated circuit 51, the integrated circuit 51 is provided with a plurality of touch signal output ends, and each touch signal line 511 is connected with the touch signal output ends in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The integrated circuit 51 can be used for transmitting a touch driving signal to each touch electrode 521 through the touch signal line 511, and receiving a touch detection signal collected by the touch electrode 511.
In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, during displaying, the touch electrode 521 may be reused as a common electrode. Thus, during the touch period, the touch electrode 521 serves as a touch electrode to receive the touch driving signal provided by the integrated circuit 51 and transmit the touch detection signal to the integrated circuit 51; during the display period, the touch electrode 521 functions as a common electrode and cooperates with a pixel electrode (not shown) to control the display of the image. The touch electrode is reused as the common electrode, so that the number of film layers of the display panel can be reduced, the thickness of the display panel is reduced, and meanwhile, the process of manufacturing the display panel is simplified.
The array substrate 500 further includes an upper frame region and a lower frame region extending along the second direction Y, and the upper frame region, the touch signal lines 511 and the lower frame region are sequentially arranged along the first direction X. An electrostatic protection circuit and/or a display test circuit are also disposed on the array substrate 500, and both the electrostatic protection circuit and/or the display test circuit may be disposed in the upper bezel region. One side of the touch signal line 511 close to the upper frame area is electrically connected with the electrostatic protection circuit and/or the test circuit. Since the array substrate 500 is provided with various traces, static electricity is generated between the traces and other conductive layers due to the accumulation of charges, and the touch signal line is electrically connected to the static electricity protection circuit, so that the static electricity generated by the excessive charges accumulated on the touch signal line 511 can be prevented, and short circuit between the metal traces or between the metal traces and other conductive layers can be caused. By providing a test circuit on the array substrate 500 and electrically connecting the touch signal line 511 to the test circuit, the short circuit of the touch signal line 511 and the electrical connection between the touch signal line 511 and the touch electrode can be tested, so that whether the touch signal line 511 is short-circuited or broken can be quickly detected.
With continued reference to fig. 5, the touch method of the array substrate shown in fig. 5 is self-contained touch driving. A capacitor C1 is formed between the touch electrode 521 and the common ground on the array substrate 500, and when the array substrate 500 is not touched by a finger, the signals received by the integrated circuit 51 from the touch electrode 521 are all the same. Taking a finger touching one of the touch electrodes as an example, when the finger touches the array substrate, a capacitance C2 is generated between the finger and the array substrate, when the integrated circuit 51 provides the touch driving signal F1 to the touch electrode 521, a touch sensing signal F3 is obtained from the touch electrode of the array substrate touched by the finger, the touch sensing signal F3 is lower than the pulse level of the touch sensing signal F2 of the other touch electrodes, and the touch sensing signal F3 is transmitted to the integrated circuit 51 through the touch signal line 511 connected to the touch electrode 521. The integrated circuit 51 obtains the position touched by the user's finger based on the calculation of the change in the potential of the pulse signal.
