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. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a touch display device according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the touch display device 200 includes a control unit 210 and a display panel 220. The display panel 220 further includes a pixel array 230 and a gate driver GOA. In the present embodiment, the control unit 210 may include a data driving circuit for providing image data voltages to the pixel array 230 for display. In addition, the control unit 210 may perform touch control as receiving touch data. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 210 may be a timing controller or be configured in the timing controller to provide various control signals to the gate driving circuit GOA, the data driving circuit or the pixel array 230.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the pixel array 230 has a plurality of pixel units (not shown), a plurality of gate lines (e.g., gate lines G1-GN), and the pixel units are controlled by the corresponding gate lines to control the circuit operation of the pixel array 230.
In the embodiment of the invention, a person skilled in the art can determine the number of pixels and gate lines in the pixel array 230 according to the design requirement of the display panel 220, wherein N is a positive integer.
The display panel 220 further has a plurality of touch electrodes 260 formed thereon, each touch electrode 260 corresponds to a plurality of pixel units and is disposed above the pixel units in an overlapping manner, in this embodiment, the touch electrodes 260 are taken as m rows, and each row includes n touch electrodes, and m × n touch electrodes are taken as an example. Each touch electrode 260 is coupled to one of the traces TL1 through TLN through contact points CT11 through CTmn, where m and n are positive integers. The traces TLl-TLN are arranged in the same direction as the gate lines G1-GN.
In the present embodiment, the touch display device 200 further includes a touch control circuit 270. Specifically, the touch control circuit 270 is disposed between the pixel array 230 (the touch electrode 260) and the gate driving circuit GOA. In addition, the touch control circuit 270 is coupled to the gate driving circuit GOA and the touch electrode 260 (or the pixel array 230), respectively. Therefore, the gate driving circuit GOA and the touch control circuit 270 are used for driving the pixel units (not shown) and the touch electrodes 260.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the gate driving circuit GOA includes a first group of driving circuits 240 and a second group of driving circuits 250. One skilled in the art can determine the number of sets of driving circuits in the gate driving circuit GOA according to the design requirement of the display panel 220, and the present invention is only exemplified by two sets, but not limited to the above-mentioned number. The first group of driving circuits 240 and the second group of driving circuits 250 each include multiple stages of shift registers SR 1-1-SR 1-8 and SR 2-1-SR 2-8, and the stages of the shift registers SR in the two groups of driving circuits may be the same or different. The multi-stage shift registers SR 1-1-SR 1-8 and SR 2-1-SR 2-8 are respectively connected in series, and the output ends of each stage of shift registers SR 1-1-SR 1-8 and SR 2-1-SR 2-8 are respectively coupled to the corresponding gate lines G1-G1-8 and G2-1-G2-8. A flyback circuit 280 is also coupled between the first set of driver circuits 240 and the second set of driver circuits 250.
In this embodiment, the flyback circuit 280 includes a dummy shift register DSR, a first switch unit 281, a second switch unit 282, and a third switch unit 283. The first switch unit 281, the second switch unit 282 and the third switch unit 283 respectively include a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal. For example, the first switch unit 281, the second switch unit 282, and the third switch unit 283 may be thin film transistors. The first terminal is a source/drain of the thin film transistor, the second terminal is a drain/source of the thin film transistor, and the control terminal is a gate of the thin film transistor. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other switching elements may be used according to the manufacturing process or driving requirements.
Referring to FIG. 3, the dummy shift register DSR is coupled to the last stage shift register SR1-8 of the first group of driving circuits 240 and the source/drain of the second switch unit 282; the drain/source of the second switch unit 282 is coupled to the first stage shift register SR2-1 of the second set of driving circuits 250; the source/drain of the first switch unit 281 is coupled to the first stage shift register SR1-1 of the first group of driving circuits 240, and the drain/source of the first switch unit 281 is coupled to the second stage shift register SR1-2 of the first group of driving circuits 240; the source/drain of the third switching unit 283 is coupled to the source/drain of the first switching unit 281, and the drain/source of the third switching unit 283 is coupled to the dummy shift register DSR. A gate of the first switch unit 281 is electrically connected to a control signal DSW; the gate of the second switch unit 282 is also electrically connected to the control signal DSW; the gate of the third switching unit 283 is electrically connected to a control signal TSW.
Referring to the touch display device 200 of fig. 2 again, the gate driving circuit GOA is coupled to the control unit 210, and the control unit 210 provides the gate driving circuit control signal and the control signals DSW and TSW. In this embodiment, the control signal DSW is a display switch control signal, and the control signal TSW is a touch switch control signal. When the control signal DSW is at a high level, the display panel 230 is in a display state, and when the control signal TSW is at a high level, the display panel 230 is in a touch state. Specifically, when the touch display device 200 is in the display state, the control signal DSW is an enable signal, and the control signal TSW is a disable signal; on the contrary, when the touch display device 200 is in the touch state, the control signal DSW is the disable signal, and the control signal TSW is the enable signal. Taking the flyback circuit 280 of fig. 3 formed by N-type switch elements as an example, when the touch display device 200 is in the display state, the control signal DSW is at a high level, and the control signal TSW is at a low level; when the touch display device 200 is in the touch state, the control signal DSW is at the low potential, and the control signal TSW is at the high potential. In this way, taking the P-type switch device as an example, the enable signal is at a low potential, and the disable signal is at a high potential.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a touch control circuit structure according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the touch control circuit 270 includes a plurality of sets of control circuits CS [1-1] -CS [1-8] and CS [2-1] -CS [2-8], each set of control circuits CS [1-1] -CS [1-8] and CS [2-1] -CS [2-8] corresponding to the shift registers SR 1-1-SR 1-8, SR 2-1-SR 2-8 and traces TL 1-TLN coupled thereto.
Each set of control circuits has the same circuit structure, and in this embodiment, the first set of control circuits CS [1-1] is taken as an example. The control circuit CS [1-1] includes a fourth switching unit 284, a fifth switching unit 285, a sixth switching unit 286, a seventh switching unit 287, and an eighth switching unit 288. The fourth switching unit 284, the fifth switching unit 285, the sixth switching unit 286, the seventh switching unit 287, and the eighth switching unit 288 include a first terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal, respectively. For example, the fourth switching unit 284, the fifth switching unit 285, the sixth switching unit 286, the seventh switching unit 287, and the eighth switching unit 288 may be thin film transistors. The first terminal is a source/drain of the thin film transistor, the second terminal is a drain/source of the thin film transistor, and the control terminal is a gate of the thin film transistor. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other switching elements may be used according to the manufacturing process or driving requirements.
In the present embodiment, the source/drain of the fourth switching unit 284 is electrically connected to a control signal TPCOM, the drain/source thereof is coupled to the source/drain of the fifth switching unit 285, and the drain/source of the fifth switching unit 285 is coupled to the corresponding trace TL 1. The source/drain of the sixth switch unit 286 is electrically connected to a control signal DCOM, and the drain/source thereof is coupled to the corresponding trace TL 1. The seventh switch unit 287 has a source/drain coupled to the corresponding shift register SR1-1, and a drain/source coupled to the corresponding gate line G [1-1 ]. The eighth switch unit 288 has a source/drain electrically connected to a control signal VGL, and a drain/source coupled to the corresponding gate line G [1-1 ]. In addition, the gate of the fourth switching unit 284 is coupled to the output terminal of the shift register SR 1-1; the gates of the fifth switching unit 285 and the eighth switching unit 288 are electrically connected to the control signal TSW; the gates of the sixth switching unit 286 and the seventh switching unit 287 are electrically connected to the control signal DSW. Specifically, when the touch display device 200 is in the display state, the control signal DSW is an enable signal, and the control signal TSW is a disable signal; on the contrary, when the touch display device 200 is in the touch state, the control signal DSW is the disable signal, and the control signal TSW is the enable signal. Taking the touch control circuit of fig. 4 formed by N-type switch elements as an example, when the touch display device 200 is in the display state, the control signal DSW is at a high level, and the control signal TSW is at a low level; when the touch display device 200 is in the touch state, the control signal DSW is at the low potential, and the control signal TSW is at the high potential. In this way, taking the P-type switch device as an example, the enable signal is at a low potential, and the disable signal is at a high potential.
Referring to the touch display device 200 of fig. 2 again, the touch control circuit 270 is coupled to the control unit 210, and the control unit 210 provides the control signals DSW, TSW, TPCOM, DCOM, and VGL. The control signal TPCOM is a common voltage signal in a touch state, the control signal DCOM is a common voltage signal in a display state, and VGL is a pixel unit turn-off signal. When the touch display device 200 is in a touch state, the control signal TPCOM provides a common voltage to the display panel 230 to drive the touch electrode 260; when the touch display device 200 is in the display state, the control signal DCOM provides another common voltage to the display panel 230 to drive the plurality of pixel units. When the touch panel is in a touch state, the control signal VGL provides a fixed potential, for example, a low level, to the pixel unit, and turns off the tft in the pixel unit. In other words, in the touch state, when the control signal VGL is at a low level, the low level can be ensured to be transmitted to the gate line G [1-1], so that the gate (control end) of the thin film transistor in the pixel unit can receive the low level and is not turned on.
As can be seen from the above description, the touch display device 200 of the embodiment connects the traces TL 1-TLN of all the touch electrodes 260 to the touch control circuit 270, and then the control unit 210 drives the touch electrodes 260 of the display panel 230 through the control signals DSW, TSW, TPCOM, DCOM, and VGL. Therefore, no matter how the number of the touch electrodes 260 in the display panel 230 is increased, the number of the control signals transmitted to the touch control circuit 270 by the control unit 210 is only 5, and only 5 signal lines are needed to drive the touch electrodes 260 in the display panel 230.
FIG. 5 is a timing diagram illustrating control signal switching according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2 to 5, during the display period, the control signal DSW is at a high level, the control signal TPCOM and the control signal TSW are at a low level, the first switch unit 281, the second switch unit 282, the sixth switch unit 286 and the seventh switch unit 287 are in an on state, the fifth switch unit 285 and the eighth switch unit 288 are in an off state, the control signal DCOM is connected to the gate line G [1-1] through the sixth switch unit 286 and the seventh switch unit 287, and the output signal of the shift register SR1-1 is provided to the gate line G [1-1], so as to drive the pixel units in the display panel 230, thereby ensuring the normal display of the display panel 230.
When the display state is switched to the touch state, the control signal TSW changes to a high level, the control signal DSW changes to a low level, the first switch unit 281, the second switch unit 282, the sixth switch unit 286, and the seventh switch unit 287 are in a closed state, the third switch unit 283, the fifth switch unit 285, and the eighth switch unit 288 are in an open state, and the control signal DCOM is disconnected by the sixth switch unit 286 and the seventh switch unit 287 and cannot be connected to the gate line G [1-1 ]; at the same time, the output signal of the shift register SR1-1 supplied to the gate line G [1-1] is also turned off. Since the eighth switching unit 288 is in the on state, the control signal VGL is transmitted to the gate line G [1-1] through the eighth switching unit 288, thereby maintaining the gate line G [1-1] in the display panel 230 at the potential of the control signal VGL. When VGL is at a low level, the thin film transistors in the pixel units are turned off in the display panel 230. Meanwhile, after the third switch unit 283 is turned on, the output signal of the shift register SR1-8 is transmitted to the dummy shift register DSR, the output signal cannot be transmitted to the next shift register SR2-1 because the second switch unit 282 is turned off, and the output signal returns upward to the shift register SR1-2 because the third switch unit 283 is turned on, the output signal of the shift registers SR1-2 to SR1-8 turns on the fourth switch unit 284, and the common voltage of the touch state, i.e., the control signal TPCOM, is transmitted to the trace TL2 through the fourth switch unit 284 and the fifth switch unit 285 to drive the touch electrode 260 in the display panel 230. Thus, the retrace circuit 280 and the touch control circuit 270 can be used to repeatedly turn on the shift registers SR1-2 SR1-8, and scan the gate lines G [1-2] G [1-8] and the traces TL2 TL8, respectively, so that the touch control circuit 270 and the gate driver GOA can share the gate lines.
When the display panel 230 is in operation, the output signal of each shift register in the gate driver circuit GOA will be used as the start signal of the next shift register, so that a switch unit can be set at the start signal of a certain stage of shift register according to design requirements, and the switch unit is controlled by the control signals DSW and TSW, so that after a section of image is displayed on the display panel 230, the driving signal is returned to the shift register of the set switch unit to be used as the input of the shift register, and further, the output signal of the shift register is reused.
In the embodiment, the first switch unit 281 is disposed between the first stage shift register SR1-1 and the second stage shift register SR1-2 of the first group of driving circuits 240, and may be disposed in other stages of shift registers according to the number of touch electrodes 260.
Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a touch display device according to another embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 2 to 4 and 6, in the touch display device 200' of the present embodiment, the touch electrodes 260 in the display panel 230 are divided into n rows, where n is a positive integer. When each row of touch electrodes corresponds to the four-level shift register and the four-level touch control circuit, for example, the first row of touch electrodes TP _ PAD1 corresponds to the shift registers SR 1-1-SR 1-4 and the touch control circuits CS [1-1] -CS [1-4 ]; the second row of touch control electrodes TP _ PAD2 correspond to the shift registers SR 2-1-SR 2-4 and the touch control circuits CS [2-1] CS [2-4 ]; the nth row of touch electrodes TP _ PADn corresponds to the shift registers SRn-1 to SRn-4 and the touch control circuits CS [ n-1] to CS [ n-4] (not shown in the figure). If there are only two touch electrodes in each row in the horizontal direction, a retrace circuit 280' may be provided for every four levels of shift registers. For example, the retrace circuit 280' is disposed between the fourth stage shift register SR1-4 of the first row and the first stage shift register SR2-1 of the second row, and the retrace start point is disposed at the third stage shift register SR1-3 of the first row. At this time, the touch control circuits CS [1-3] and CS [1-4] of the touch control circuit 270 are used to scan the first row of touch electrodes TP _ PAD1 through traces TL [1-3], TL [1-4], and the traces TL [1-1], TL [1-2] are floating or connected to other touch electrodes (not shown); touch control circuits CS [2-3] and CS [2-4] are used to scan the second row of touch electrodes TP _ PAD2 through traces TL [2-3], TL [2-4], with traces TL [2-1], TL [2-2] floating or connected to other touch electrodes (not shown), and so on. Therefore, although each row of touch electrodes corresponds to the four-level shift register and the four-level touch control circuit, only the two-level shift register and the two-level touch control circuit are needed to scan the two touch electrodes in the row. At this time, the scanning frequency of the display state is the same as the scanning frequency of the touch state. It should be noted that each stage of the shift register is also coupled to the corresponding gate lines G [1-1] G [ n-4] in the display panel 230, which are not shown for convenience of illustration.
Fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a touch display device according to still another embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 2 to 4 and 7, in the touch display device 200 ″ of the present embodiment, the touch electrodes 260 in the display panel 230 are divided into n rows, where n is an even number. Similarly, each row of touch electrodes corresponds to four levels of shift registers, and if there are only two touch electrodes 260 in the horizontal direction, a retrace circuit 280 ″ can be provided every four levels of shift registers. For example, the flyback circuit 280 ″ is disposed between the fourth stage shift register SR1-4 of the first row and the first stage shift register SR2-1 of the second row. Unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the first stage shift register SR1-1, the first stage control circuit CS [1-1] and the second stage control circuit CS [1-2] of the touch control circuit 270, which are configured to set the retrace start point of the retrace circuit 280' on the first row, are used to scan the first row touch electrode TP _ PAD1 through traces TL [1-1], TL [1-2 ]; the first stage control circuit CS [2-1] and the second stage control circuit CS [2-2] of the second row are used to scan the second row of touch electrodes TP _ PAD2 through traces TL [2-1], TL [2-2 ]. If the n rows of touch electrodes 260 are divided into two groups, the third-level control circuit CS [1-3] and the fourth-level control circuit CS [1-4] of one row are used for scanning the (n/2) th row of touch electrodes TP _ PAD n/2 through the traces TL [1-3], TL [1-4], and the third-level control circuit CS [2-3] and the fourth-level control circuit CS [2-4] of the second row are used for scanning the (n/2 + 1) th row of touch electrodes TP _ PAD n/2+1 through the traces TL [2-3], TL [2-4 ].
