Each touch unit 130 of the fifth touch column 125 is connected to one of the touch connecting lines 11.

In this embodiment, M is an odd number, such as 31, 35, 41, etc., and some touch units 130 in the two touch rows 120 do not need to be electrically connected to the touch units 130 in the other touch rows 120. M may also be an even number, and each touch unit 130 in the extra touch rows 120 is connected to the touch chip 12 through one touch connection line 11.

The touch units 130 in the third touch column 123 that are not electrically connected to the second touch units 132 in the second touch column 122 are electrically connected to the corresponding third touch units 133 in the fourth touch column 124, and the fourth touch units 134 in the fourth touch column 124 are electrically connected to the corresponding touch units 130 in the fifth touch column 125. Similarly, a sixth touch column, a seventh touch column and the like are sequentially arranged behind the fifth touch. The touch connecting lines 11 can be further reduced, and the touch resolution is not affected basically.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the touch area 100 is actually touched, a plurality of touch units 130 are generally touched, for example, two adjacent touch units 130 are touched at a time, the two adjacent touch units 130 are located in the same touch column 120, and are located in two adjacent touch rows 110. If the two externally triggered touch units 130 are located in the third touch column 123, the touch chip 12 obtains the positions of the two touch units 130 in the third touch column 123, and also obtains the positions of the second touch unit 132 and/or the third touch unit 133 electrically connected to the two touch units 130, and the four touch units 130 are connected into one piece, wherein if the two touch units 130 in the third touch column 123 are located at the middle position and the externally triggered touch positions are continuous, it can be determined that the two touch units 130 in the third touch column 123 are externally triggered, so as to obtain the touch positions, and the touch connecting line 11 is saved without affecting the touch resolution basically. If two second touch units 132 or two third touch units 133 are included and the touch positions of the external trigger are continuous, it can be determined that two touch units 130 or two other touch units 132 or two other touch units 133 of the third touch column 123 are externally triggered. If the two externally triggered touch units 130 are located in the fourth touch column 124, the two touch units 130 are electrically connected to the touch units 130 corresponding to the third touch column 123 and the fifth touch column 125, respectively, the touch chip 12 obtains the positions of the four touch units 130, the four touch units 130 are connected into one piece, the touch units 130 of the two fourth touch columns 124 are located in the middle, and the externally triggered touch positions are continuous, it can be determined that the touch units of the two fourth touch columns 124 are externally triggered, so that the actual touch positions can be obtained, and the touch connecting lines 11 are saved without affecting the touch resolution basically. Similarly, the actual touch position can also be obtained by touching two adjacent touch units 130 of the same touch row 110 at a time, and the touch connecting lines 11 are saved without affecting the touch resolution.

In some embodiments, the plurality of third touch units 133 and the plurality of fourth touch units 134 are arranged in a staggered manner.
