The same driving chip 80 is convenient to realize the functions of display, wide and narrow visual angle switching and touch control, and the production cost is saved.
Third embodiment
Referring to fig. 9(a) and 9(b), fig. 9(a) shows a partial structure diagram of the touch electrode 62 in the touch display panel with switchable wide and narrow viewing angles according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 9(b) shows a schematic structure diagram of the plurality of first touch electrode stripes 621 and the plurality of second control electrode stripes 611 in the touch display panel. The difference from the first embodiment is that each first touch electrode stripe 621 is a stripe formed by connecting a plurality of diamonds in the first direction Y, and each second touch electrode stripe 623 is a stripe formed by connecting a plurality of diamonds in the second direction X. Each first touch electrode strip 621 is overlapped with the second touch electrode strip 623 in an insulating manner at the joint of two adjacent diamonds, the overlapped part is located at the joint of two adjacent diamonds in the second touch electrode 62, and each overlapped part is respectively located in the range defined by a square with the side length of 1-2 mm.
The width of the widest part of each first touch electrode strip 621 in the second direction X is 0.5-0.75 times of the first interval width a, the second control electrode strip 611 fills the gap between two adjacent first touch electrode strips 621 and is also formed by connecting a plurality of diamonds in the first direction Y, and the second control electrode strip 611 and the first touch electrode strips 621 are insulated from each other. Meanwhile, the second control electrode bar 611, the first touch electrode bar 621 and the second touch electrode bar 623 are all of a grid structure formed by crossing conducting wires. Compared with a rectangular profile, the profile of the first touch electrode stripes 621 in this embodiment provides a wider dummy area, which increases the width of each second control electrode stripe 611, is beneficial to enhancing the electric field intensity for controlling the switching of the viewing angles in the second liquid crystal cell 400, and enhances the anti-peeping effect.
Fourth embodiment
Referring to fig. 10(a), a schematic diagram of waveforms of the touch signal TP, the first viewing angle control signal HVA1 and the second viewing angle control signal HVA2 of the switchable wide and narrow viewing angle touch display panel in the narrow viewing angle mode according to the fourth embodiment of the invention is shown, which is different from the first embodiment in that the first viewing angle control signal HVA1 applied to the first control electrode 51 has a sine waveform, a triangular waveform, and the like in the active period, and the dc control voltage V applied to the first viewing angle control signal HVA1 and the second control electrode 61 in the blank period h And (5) the consistency is achieved. The transmission of the touch driving signal and the touch sensing signal is in the blank period, so that the touch signal TP is prevented from being interfered by the electric field in the second liquid crystal cell 400. When performing touch sensing, the second control electrode bar 611 assists the first control electrode barThe touch electrode bars 621 improve the touch sensing precision of the active pen and other touch modes.
Further, since the first view angle control signal HVA1, the second view angle control signal HVA2 and the touch signal TP are staggered in time, the first view angle control signal HVA1 may be set to be constant as the dc control voltage Vh, and the second view angle control signal HVA2 may be the ac control voltage in the narrow view angle mode. Because the direct-current control voltage Vh is always applied to the first control electrode 51 close to the first liquid crystal box 300, the interference of the signal of the first control electrode 51 on the electric field in the first liquid crystal box 300 is reduced, the display quality is improved, and the planar first control electrode 51 can also be used as an electrostatic shielding layer of the first liquid crystal box 300, so that the anti-static capability of the touch display panel is improved.
Referring to fig. 10(b), since the display function of the first liquid crystal cell 300 and the wide-narrow viewing angle switching and touch control function of the second liquid crystal cell 400 are independent from each other, the transmission of the touch control driving signal and the touch control sensing signal can be within an effective time period, and the display of the first liquid crystal cell 300 is not affected.
Fifth embodiment
Fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of a second liquid crystal cell 400 in a touch display panel with switchable wide and narrow viewing angles according to a fifth embodiment of the invention, which is different from the first embodiment in that a second control electrode 61 is planar and is formed of a transparent conductive material. The second control electrodes 61 are closer to the second liquid crystal layer 32 than the touch electrodes 62, that is, the first touch electrode stripes 621 are closer to the second liquid crystal layer 32, the second control electrodes 61 are closer to the second liquid crystal layer 32 than the second touch electrode stripes 623, and the second isolation layer 624 is sandwiched between the second control electrodes 61 and the second touch electrode stripes 623. The planar second control electrode 61 not only can prevent the touch signal TP from being interfered by the electric field in the second liquid crystal cell 400, but also has an anti-static function.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention.
