Detailed Description
The invention will be described in detail with reference to the following drawings, which are provided for illustration purposes and the like:
fig. 1A is a schematic structural diagram of a touch display device according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 1B is a schematic structural diagram of the pixel unit in fig. 1A. As shown in fig. 1A and fig. 1B, the touch display device 100 of the present invention has a display mode and a touch wake-up mode, wherein the touch display device 100 is in the touch wake-up mode when it is in a black screen, and has repeated detection periods and discharge periods, and the touch display device 100 is in the display mode after being touched. Specifically, the touch display device 100 includes a first substrate 101 and a second substrate (not shown), and the second substrate is disposed opposite to the first substrate 101. The first substrate 101 is provided with a display area AA, and the display area AA has a plurality of pixel units PX arranged in a matrix. Each pixel unit PX includes a thin film transistor TFT having a source S, a drain D, and a gate G, and a pixel electrode PE electrically connected to the source S of the thin film transistor TFT. The first substrate 101 is further provided with a plurality of data lines DL, a plurality of gate lines GL, a plurality of touch electrodes TP, and a plurality of traces TL. Specifically, the plurality of data lines DL are electrically connected to the drain electrodes D of the thin film transistors TFT, respectively, for providing driving signals to the pixel units PX, the plurality of gate lines GL are electrically connected to the gate electrodes G of the thin film transistors TFT, respectively, the plurality of traces TL are electrically connected to the touch electrodes TP, respectively, and each touch electrode TP corresponds to a plurality of pixel units PX in a projection direction perpendicular to the first substrate 101. In the present embodiment, when the touch display device 100 is in the touch wake-up mode, during the discharging period, the residual charges in the pixel units PX need to be removed, and at this time, the touch electrodes TP, the data lines DL and the gate lines GL of the touch display device 100 are all set to the same potential, such as the ground potential GND.
As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the thin film transistor TFT in the pixel unit PX may be one, or may be formed by connecting the first thin film transistor M1 and the second thin film transistor M2 in series. When the TFTs are two TFTs connected in series, the data line DL is electrically connected to the drain D of the first TFT M1, the pixel electrode PE is electrically connected to the source S of the second TFT M2, and the gate line GL is electrically connected to the gate G of the first TFT M1 and the second TFT M2.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1A, the touch display device 100 further includes a gate driving circuit GOA and a control circuit IC. The gate driving circuit GOA is electrically connected to the pixel unit PX through a plurality of gate lines GL, and provides a driving signal to the pixel unit PX. The gate driving circuit GOA has a plurality of input terminals (not shown), the input terminals of the gate driving circuit GOA are electrically connected to the control circuit IC through the control line CG, and the control circuit IC provides control signals, such as U2D/D2U, STV/VEND, CLK/XCLK, RST, XDONB, GOFF, etc., to the gate driving circuit GOA through the control line CG. When the touch display device 100 is in the discharging period of the touch wake-up mode, the control line CG, i.e. the plurality of input terminals of the gate driving circuit GOA, are also set to be electrically connected to the ground GND. When the touch display device 100 is touched and in the display mode, the control line CG, i.e. a plurality of input terminals of the gate driving circuit GOA, are electrically connected to the system high voltage AVDD or the first low voltage AVEE, so that the gate driving circuit GOA provides a driving signal to the pixel unit PX under the control of the system high voltage AVDD or the first low voltage AVEE to drive the pixel unit PX to perform normal display. The first low potential AVEE and the ground potential GND are different potentials. For the touch electrode TP, when the touch display device 100 is in the touch wake-up mode, the control circuit IC provides the same potential, such as the ground potential GND, as the data line DL and the gate line GL to the touch electrode through the electrically connected trace line TL. When the touch display device 100 is in the display mode, the control circuit IC supplies the common potential Vcom to the touch electrode TP through the trace TL.
Fig. 2A is a timing diagram of a driving signal of a touch wake-up mode of a touch display device according to the prior art. Fig. 2B is a timing diagram of a driving signal of a touch wake-up mode of a touch display device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1A, 1B and 2A, in the prior art, when the pixel unit PX of the touch display device 100 is discharged during the discharge period of the touch display device 100 in the touch wake-up mode, the data line DL and the trace line TL in the touch display device 100 are both set to the ground potential GND, and the gate line GL is set to the system high potential AVDD. Taking the thin film transistor TFT as an N-type, at this time, the system high voltage AVDD turns on the thin film transistor TFT to form a conductive path between the source S and the drain D of the thin film transistor TFT, and since both the source S and the drain D are electrically connected to the ground GND, the charges remaining in the pixel unit PX can be discharged. Referring to fig. 1B again, when the TFT is accidentally turned on, that is, the gate G and the source S and the gate G and the drain D of the TFT are turned on, at this time, the gate G is electrically connected to the system high voltage AVDD, the source S and the drain D are electrically connected to the ground GND, the gate G and the source S and the drain D form a potential difference therebetween, the system high voltage AVDD charges the pixel electrode PE and the data line DL, and the pixel units PX connected to the same data line TL are all lit up to generate a bright line ghost. The longer the discharge period is, the longer the charging time of the system high voltage AVDD to the pixel electrode PE and the data line DL is, and the more serious the bright line afterimage is due to the dc residue generated when the polarity of the pixel electrode PE is not inverted.
To solve the problem of image sticking, referring to fig. 2B, when the pixel unit PX of the touch display device 100 is discharged during the discharging period, the data line DL, the trace line TL, and the gate line GL in the touch display device 100 are set to the ground potential GND. In this case, the ground GND does not turn on the TFT to turn off the TFT, a conductive path is not formed between the source S and the drain D, and even if the TFT is accidentally turned on, the gate G and the drain D are electrically connected to the ground GND, so that the residual charges in the pixel electrode PE can be discharged to the ground.
With continued reference to fig. 2A and 2B, fig. 2A and 2B only show the signal potentials of the data line DL, the trace line TL, and the gate line GL, and the following table explains the control signal at each input terminal of the gate driving circuit GOA in the touch display device 100.

As shown in table i, when the touch display device 100 is in the display mode, the control line CG, i.e., the plurality of input terminals of the gate driving circuit GOA, are electrically connected to the system high voltage level AVDD or the first low voltage level AVEE, so that the gate driving circuit GOA provides the driving signal to the pixel unit PX under the control of the system high voltage level AVDD or the first low voltage level AVEE, and drives the pixel unit PX to perform normal display. The potential of the system high potential AVDD may be set to 8.5v, for example, and the potential of the first low potential AVEE may be set to-8 v, for example.
As shown in table i, when the touch display device 100 is in the discharging period of the touch wake-up mode, the control line CG, i.e., the plurality of input terminals of the gate driving circuit GOA, are set to be electrically connected to the ground GND, and one of the input terminals GOFF is electrically connected to the system high voltage AVDD. The potential of the system high potential AVDD may be set to 5.5v, for example, and the potential of the first low potential AVEE may be set to-5.5 v, for example.
The invention also provides a method for discharging the touch display device shown in fig. 1A. When the touch display device 100 is in the touch wake-up mode, during the discharging period, the control circuit IC and the gate driving circuit GOA respectively provide the touch wake-up signals to the touch electrode TP, the data line DL and the gate line GL to discharge the pixel unit PX. Specifically, the touch wake-up signals respectively provided to the touch electrode TP, the data line DL and the gate line GL are at the same potential, for example, the ground potential GND.
In summary, by setting the touch electrode, the data line and the gate line of the touch display device to the same potential, for example, the ground potential GND, effective discharge of the pixel unit of the touch display device can be realized, the residual charges in the pixel unit can be eliminated, the occurrence of the afterimage of the touch display device can be avoided, and the display quality can be improved.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof, and it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
