Taking the self-capacitance as an example, the touch detection structure 12 includes a plurality of touch electrodes 121 and a plurality of touch signal lines S arranged in an array, the touch display panel further includes a display area a, a non-display area B disposed around the display area a, and a driving chip 40 located at one end of the upper substrate 10. The touch electrodes 121 are located in the display area a, and each touch electrode 121 is electrically connected to a port of the driving chip 40 for outputting a scan signal and receiving a detection signal through a corresponding touch signal line S. When a user touches the touch panel, the capacitance between the touch electrode 121 corresponding to the touch position and the ground changes, so that the detection signal on the touch electrode 121 at the touch position changes, and the driving chip 40 can determine the touch position through the received detection signal, so that the display panel executes a corresponding operation. The touch electrode may be a transparent conductive layer, and the transparent conductive layer may be made of metal oxide, for example: indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, aluminum tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, indium germanium zinc oxide, or other suitable oxide, or a stack of at least two of the foregoing. The touch signal line S may be formed by an additionally disposed metal trace, and may be electrically connected to a corresponding touch electrode through, for example, a connection hole, so as to reduce a touch resistance and improve a sensitivity of touch detection.

Each switching element T includes a gate electrode, a semiconductor channel overlapping the gate electrode, a gate insulating layer disposed between the gate electrode and the semiconductor channel, and a source electrode and a drain electrode electrically connected to both sides of the semiconductor channel, respectively. The gate of the switching element T is electrically connected to the scan line, and the source of the switching element T is electrically connected to the data line.

The upper substrate 10 further includes a black matrix 13, the black matrix 13 is located on the upper substrate 11 and corresponds to an area where the metal trace and the switching element T are located on the upper substrate, the black matrix 13 is located on a side of the metal trace and the switching element T facing the upper substrate 11, and an orthographic projection of the metal trace and the switching element T on the upper substrate is located within an orthographic projection range of the black matrix 13 on the upper substrate, wherein the metal trace is, for example, the scan line, the data line, the touch signal line, and the like. Because the upper substrate 10 is an array substrate and the black matrix 13 is prepared on the array substrate, the requirement of the touch display panel on the cell precision is obviously reduced, and the formation area of the black matrix 13 is not overlapped with the formation area of the pixel electrode 14, the aperture opening ratio of the liquid crystal display panel is not affected, and meanwhile, the light leakage phenomenon generated in the area except the pixel electrode is avoided, and the display performance of the touch display panel is improved.
Further, the upper substrate 10 may further include a planarization layer 15, and the planarization layer 15 is, for example, a light-transmitting organic insulating film, and is planarized by absorbing a step formed by a metal trace, a switching element, or the like located below the pixel electrode 14 so as to planarize the pixel electrode. The flat layer 15 is provided with a via hole, and the pixel electrode 14 is located on one side of the flat layer 15 away from the switching element T and the metal trace, and is electrically connected to the drain of the active element T through the via hole. The material of the planarization layer 15 can be an inorganic material (e.g., silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, other suitable materials, or a stack of at least two of the above materials), an organic material, or other suitable materials, or a combination thereof.
The lower substrate 20 includes a lower substrate 21 and a reflective electrode 22 disposed on the lower substrate 21, and is configured to reflect external light, such as external natural light, which is emitted from the outside of the touch display panel to the upper substrate, the liquid crystal layer and enters the reflective electrode 22. The reflective electrode 22 is formed by vapor deposition using a metal material such as aluminum or silver, or a compound or an alloy containing a metal material such as aluminum or silver as one component. As shown in fig. 3, the reflective electrode 22 includes a plurality of electrode bars separately disposed, each electrode bar forms an auxiliary signal line 202, two adjacent auxiliary signal lines 202 are disposed at intervals through a slit insulation, and the plurality of auxiliary signal lines 202 are respectively disposed corresponding to the plurality of touch electrodes 121. Specifically, each auxiliary signal line 202 is connected in parallel with at least one touch signal line S, or two ends of each auxiliary signal line 202 are electrically connected to two ends of the at least one touch signal line S, respectively, and the at least one touch signal line S is electrically connected to the touch electrode 121 corresponding to the auxiliary signal line 202. Therefore, the resistance of the connecting wires between the touch electrodes and the driving chip can be reduced, the sensitivity of touch detection is improved, and the resistance reduction of the touch electrode farthest from the driving chip is particularly effective.
Referring to fig. 4, a plurality of touch signal lines S pass through the display area a of the touch display panel, a head end S1 of the touch signal line S is electrically connected to the driving chip 40, and a tail end S2 of the touch signal line S is located at an end of the upper substrate 10 away from the driving chip 40. The first end 202a of each auxiliary signal line 202 is electrically connected to the head end S1 of the corresponding touch signal line S, and the second end 202b of each auxiliary signal line 202 is electrically connected to the tail end S2 of the corresponding touch signal line S, so that each auxiliary signal line is connected in parallel with the corresponding touch signal line. In the present embodiment, the touch display panel further includes a sealant 32 disposed in the non-display region B and surrounding the display region a, wherein the sealant 32 is disposed between the upper substrate 10 and the lower substrate 20 for sealing the liquid crystal layer 30 in a box-shaped space formed by the upper substrate 10 and the lower substrate 20. The conductive particles 301 are disposed in the sealant 32, and two ends of each auxiliary signal line 202 can be electrically connected to two ends of the corresponding touch signal line S through the conductive particles 301 disposed in the sealant 32, respectively. The conductive particles may be, for example, spherical resin particles with certain elasticity, the outer layer of which is plated with metal (such as gold, silver, etc.), so as to achieve electrical conduction, and the plurality of conductive particles in the frame sealing glue are not in contact with each other, so that the conductive particles only have the function of conducting connection wires on the upper and lower substrates, but cannot conduct electrical conduction in the transverse direction.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, it may be configured that: a strip-shaped slit 203 is formed between two adjacent auxiliary signal lines 202, and the slit 203 is located in an orthographic projection range of the black matrix 13 on the lower substrate 20, that is, the orthographic projection of the black matrix 13 on the lower substrate 20 covers the slit 203, so that although a reflection area cannot be formed at the position of the slit 203 on the reflection electrode 22, the existence of the slit 203 does not affect the aperture ratio of the touch display panel because the area is blocked by the black matrix 13. Meanwhile, the auxiliary signal line connected with the touch signal line in parallel is arranged on the lower substrate, and is not simultaneously positioned on the upper substrate like the touch signal line, so that the opening position of a pixel unit on the upper substrate is not occupied, and the purpose of reducing the resistance of connecting wires between the touch electrode and the driving chip without reducing the opening ratio can be achieved. And because the auxiliary signal line is formed by time division multiplexing of the reflecting electrode, an additional independent arrangement is not needed, the product manufacturing process is not increased, and the manufacturing cost is not increased.
Further, the upper substrate and the lower substrate are respectively provided with an alignment film on the side close to the liquid crystal layer, for example, to provide an initial alignment for the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer.
Furthermore, the upper substrate and the lower substrate are respectively provided with a polarizer on the side away from the liquid crystal layer, for example, to change the polarization direction of incident light or emergent light.

In this state, external light incident from the upper substrate 10 side is incident on the reflective electrode 22 of the lower substrate via the liquid crystal layer, is reflected to each pixel electrode 14 via the reflective electrode 22, and is matched with the polarizing devices on the upper and lower substrates, whereby reflected light based on the transmittance of the pixel electrode 14 set according to the angle of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer is displayed as an image; in the touch control stage, touch control scanning signals are respectively provided for the touch control electrodes through the touch control signal lines and the auxiliary signal lines in the reflecting electrodes, and touch control detection signals are received through the touch control signal lines and the auxiliary signal lines in the reflecting electrodes, so that the touch control detection function is realized.
Furthermore, the touch electrode can be reused as a storage electrode, and in the display stage, a common voltage signal is provided to the touch electrode through the driving chip, so that a storage capacitor is formed between the touch electrode and the pixel electrode, and a storage voltage is provided for each pixel unit.
The liquid crystal layer 30 can use various modes such as an ECB mode, a TN mode, and a VA mode. For example, the liquid crystal layer 30 is a Twisted Nematic (TN) Normally White (NW) mode.
In the touch display panel provided in this embodiment, for each pixel unit, under the driving of the voltage difference between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer undergo state changes such as rotation and/or distortion, and the liquid crystal molecules are matched with the polarization device on the upper substrate, so that each pixel unit has two states of an off state and an on state in a time-sharing manner, when the pixel unit is in the off state, the light reflected from the reflective electrode cannot pass through the pixel unit, and at this time, the pixel unit displays black; when the pixel units are in an on state, light reflected by the self-reflection electrodes passes through the pixel units, at the moment, the pixel units display white, and each pixel unit is made to display black or white required by different images by controlling data signals provided by the data lines electrically connected with the pixel units, so that the touch display panel can display black and white images by using external natural light (such as sunlight), a backlight source is not required to be additionally arranged, and power consumption is saved.
Furthermore, in the touch display panel provided in this embodiment, the array substrate provided with the touch detection structure is located on the side of the liquid crystal layer facing the user, and the reflective electrode is located on the side of the liquid crystal layer away from the user, that is, the space between the touch detection structure and the user does not contain display electrodes such as a full-area or large-area common electrode, and an external touch signal provided by the user is not shielded by the display electrodes such as the full-area or large-area common electrode, so that the touch function can be better realized.

The adjacent color resistors can be arranged at intervals through a black matrix, for example, so as to prevent the color mixing phenomenon; the black matrix on the array substrate can cover the connection area between the adjacent color resistors to prevent color mixing. In the touch display panel provided by the embodiment, the color image display can be realized by using external natural light (such as sunlight), so that the power consumption is reduced.
