In the display stage, the touch electrode 50 in the present application is multiplexed as a common electrode to receive a common voltage signal; in the touch detection stage, the touch electrode 50 receives a touch detection signal. In this way, the touch electrode 50 and the common electrode are multiplexed, and different film layer structures do not need to be respectively arranged on the display panel 100 for the touch electrode 50 and the common electrode, so that the film layer structure of the display panel 100 is simplified, and the requirement for thinning the display panel 100 is met.
Fig. 2 of the present embodiment only illustrates technical features of the display panel 100 related to the technical solution of the present embodiment, and it can be understood that the structure of the display panel 100 not only includes the illustration in the figure, but also includes other technical features known in the prior art for implementing a display function, such as a pixel unit located in a display region, a gate driving unit (not shown) located in a non-display region, and the like, which are not illustrated and described herein again. The shape of the touch electrode in this embodiment is only schematically illustrated as a square, and in particular, the shape of the touch electrode may be any other shape. The number and size of the touch electrodes in this embodiment are also only schematic illustrations, and in specific implementation, the number of the touch electrodes is not limited to the number in the drawings, and the size of the touch electrodes may also be set according to actual requirements.
In some optional embodiments, the first electrode lines 51, the second electrode lines 52 and the touch electrodes 50 are located on the same film layer. Therefore, the first electrode line 51, the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50 in the present application can be manufactured simultaneously by using the same manufacturing process, and different manufacturing processes and film layer structures do not need to be introduced into the first electrode line 51, the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50 respectively, so that the generation process of the display panel 100 is simplified, and the production efficiency of the display panel 100 is improved.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 2, the width of the space between the first electrode lines 51 and the second electrode lines 52 along the direction parallel to the plane of the display panel 100 is D0, and D0 is greater than 100 μm.
Specifically, with continued reference to fig. 2, since the signals received on the first electrode lines 51 and the second electrode lines 52 are different in the touch detection phase and the capacitance detection phase, the first electrode lines 51 are used for receiving the common voltage signal in both the touch detection phase and the capacitance detection phase; in the touch phase, the second electrode lines 52 are used for receiving a touch detection signal; in the capacitance detection phase, the second electrode lines 52 are used for receiving capacitance detection signals. When the distance between the first electrode lines 51 and the second electrode lines 52 is small, a large coupling capacitance is formed between the first electrode lines 51 and the second electrode lines 52 in the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage, which affects the accuracy of touch detection and capacitance detection, and may cause the display panel to have a phenomenon of stray jumping and a phenomenon of freeze screen. And this application sets up interval D0 between first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 to be greater than when 100 mu m, make the interval increase between first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52, thereby make the coupling capacitance between first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 reduce, thereby reduced and caused the influence to second electrode line 52 and touch-control electrode 50's signal at touch-control detection stage and electric capacity detection stage signal on first electrode line 51, consequently, be favorable to promoting touch-control detection's accuracy and electric capacity detection's accuracy, be favorable to reducing the display panel simultaneously and appear the possibility of the spurious jump point and freeze-screen phenomenon.
Optionally, in the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the line width of the first electrode lines 51 is D1, and D1 < 50 μm.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 2, the line width of the first electrode line 51 is set to be smaller, specifically set to be smaller than 50 μm, and in the display stage, the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage, the common voltage signal can be reliably received, so that the influence of the external electrical signal on the circuit in the display panel 100 is avoided, and meanwhile, the width of the frame occupied by the first electrode line 51 can be reduced, thereby being beneficial to realizing the narrow frame design of the display panel 100.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a top view of a display panel 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application, in which the non-display area 20 includes a binding area 22 and a first bezel area 23 disposed opposite to the binding area 22 in the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment; the second electrode line 52 includes a sub-line segment 521 located in the first frame area 23, and a line width of the sub-line segment 521 is greater than a line width of the first electrode line 51.
In particular, fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the second electrode line 52 includes a sub-line segment 521 having a larger line segment. The line width of the sub-line segment 521 located in the first frame area 23 in the second electrode line 52 is greater than the line width of the first electrode line 51, generally, the line structure arranged in the first frame area 23 opposite to the binding area 22 on the display panel 100 is less, and on the premise of realizing a narrow frame, the first frame area 23 has a certain space for arranging the sub-line segment 521 with a greater line width. Because in the display stage, the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 both receive the common voltage signal, when the width of the sub-line segment 521 in the first frame area 23 in the second electrode line 52 is set to be wider, the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 jointly play a role in shielding, which is more favorable for improving the shielding effect of the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 on the external electric signals in the display stage, and avoiding the external electric signals from interfering the normal display of the display panel 100, thereby being more favorable for improving the display reliability of the display panel 100.
Optionally, fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a relative position relationship between the touch trace 60 and the touch electrode 50 in the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of fig. 5 along AA', the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of touch traces 60 and a plurality of dummy traces 61, and the touch traces 60 and the dummy traces 61 are located on the same film layer; the touch electrodes 50 are electrically connected to the touch traces 60 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each of the dummy traces 61 is electrically connected to the second electrode lines 52.
Specifically, to realize the signal interaction between the touch electrode 50 and the driving chip 90 on the display panel 100, the touch trace 60 is usually introduced on the display panel 100 to connect the touch electrode 50 and the driving chip 90, in this embodiment, the touch electrode 50 and the touch trace 60 are electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence. When one touch trace 60 is introduced to each touch electrode 50, the touch traces 60 cannot be uniformly arranged in the display area 10 of the display panel 100, which may cause the display panel 100 to have a non-uniform load. Therefore, the dummy traces 61 are introduced to the display panel 100, the dummy traces 61 and the touch traces 60 are located on the same film layer and are manufactured in the same process, and after the dummy traces 61 are introduced to the display panel 100, the display panel 100 is favorable for achieving impedance matching and improving load uniformity. In addition, after the dummy trace 61 introduced in the display panel 100 is electrically connected to the second electrode line 52, the dummy electrode and the second electrode line 52 are at the same potential, and receive the same electrical signal. For example, in the touch detection stage, the dummy trace 61 and the second electrode line 52 both receive a touch detection signal, and the touch trace 60 and the touch electrode 50 also both receive a touch detection signal; in the display stage, the dummy trace 61 and the touch trace 60 both receive a common voltage signal; therefore, the equipotential between the dummy trace 61 and the touch trace 60 can be ensured, and the signal coupling between the touch trace 60 and the dummy trace 61 is avoided, that is, the interference of the dummy trace 61 on the signal on the touch trace 60 is avoided, so that the touch reliability and the display reliability of the display panel 100 are improved. It should be noted that fig. 5 distinguishes the touch trace 60 and the dummy trace 61 by the thickness of the line, and does not represent the actual line width, and in fact, the line widths of the touch trace 60 and the dummy trace 61 may be set to be equal.
Based on the same inventive concept, the present application further provides a driving method of a display panel 100, and fig. 7 is a flowchart of the driving method of the display panel 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, the driving method is used for driving the display panel 100 provided by the present application, please refer to fig. 2 and fig. 7, the driving method of the display panel 100 includes a driving method in a display stage, a driving method in a touch detection stage, a driving method in a capacitance detection stage, and a driving method in a calibration stage, wherein,
in the display stage, a common voltage signal is sent to the first electrode line 51, the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50;
in the touch detection stage, a common voltage signal is sent to the first electrode line 51, and a touch detection signal is sent to the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50;
in the capacitance detection stage, a common voltage signal is sent to the first electrode line 51, a capacitance detection signal is sent to the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50, whether the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance exists or not is judged, and if yes, the calibration stage is started; in the calibration phase, a calibration signal is sent to the touch electrode 50 with the abnormal capacitance.

It should be noted that, the calibration process for the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance can also be executed by the driving chip 90 on the display panel 100, and even if the calibration process is introduced, the calibration process can be implemented only by changing the driving program on the display panel 100 without adding a new module structure on the display panel 100.
