The touch display device provided by the embodiment integrates a touch function and a display function. The touch display device includes: a display area 1 and a non-display area 2; the display area 1 comprises a touch electrode layer and a power voltage layer which are stacked and insulated, wherein the touch electrode layer comprises m touch electrode blocks 11 and m touch line groups 12 which are arranged in an array, one touch electrode block 11 is electrically connected with one touch line group 12, the power voltage layer comprises m power voltage blocks 13 and m power line groups 14 which are arranged in an array, one power voltage block 13 is electrically connected with one power line group 14, the m touch electrode blocks 11 and the m power voltage blocks 13 are respectively arranged correspondingly, and the first end of each touch line group 12 is electrically connected with the first end of the corresponding power line group 14 through a through hole 2 a; the non-display area 2 includes a test switch module 3 located at the second end of the touch line group 12, the test switch module 3 includes m switch devices 31, output ends of the m switch devices 31 are respectively and correspondingly electrically connected with the second ends of the m touch line groups 12, and input ends of the m switch devices 31 receive the detection voltage signal TPD; in the touch detection stage, the m switching devices 31 are turned on simultaneously, so that the detection voltage signal TPD is correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks 11.
In this embodiment, the display area 1 includes a touch electrode layer and a power voltage layer stacked and insulated from each other, and the touch electrode layer and the power voltage layer are insulated from each other by an insulating layer.
The touch electrode layer comprises m touch electrode blocks 11 and m touch line groups 12 which are arranged in an array, wherein the touch electrode blocks 11 and the touch line groups 12 are arranged in a stacked mode, and the touch line groups 12 are electrically connected with the corresponding touch electrode blocks 11 through via holes. The touch line group 12 transmits a touch signal, and the specific touch line group 12 transmits a touch driving signal to the corresponding touch electrode block 11, and then outputs a touch sensing signal generated by the touch electrode block 11 according to touch to the touch chip to implement touch detection. It can be understood that the touch wire group 12 includes one or more touch wires electrically connected to the same touch electrode block 11, one or more connection points between one touch wire and the corresponding touch electrode block 11 may be one or more, the number of touch wires in the touch wire group is related to the touch driving capability, and related practitioners can reasonably set the number of touch wires in the touch wire group and the positions and the number of the connection points according to the needs of products. In this embodiment, the example is only given by the case that the touch line group includes one touch lead and is electrically connected to the touch electrode block by using two connection points, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
The power voltage layer includes m power voltage blocks 13 and m power line groups 14 arranged in an array, wherein the power voltage blocks 13 and the power line groups 14 are stacked, and the power line groups 14 are electrically connected with the corresponding power voltage blocks 13 through via holes. The power line group 14 transmits a power voltage signal to display the pixels in the display area. Related practitioners can reasonably set the number of the power supply lead wires in the power supply wire group and the positions and the number of the connection points between the power supply lead wires and the power supply voltage block according to the needs of products. In the present embodiment, the power line group includes one power lead and is electrically connected to the power voltage block by using three connection points, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that the different metal film layers are insulated by the insulating layer, and the stacked structure of the touch electrode layer and the power voltage layer shown in fig. 2 is only an example and is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, the non-display area 2 includes a test switch module 3 located at a second end of the touch line set 12. The m touch electrode blocks 11 and the m power voltage blocks 13 are respectively and correspondingly arranged, the touch line group 12 electrically connected with the touch electrode blocks 11 is electrically connected with the power line group 14 electrically connected with the corresponding power voltage block 13 through a via hole 2a, wherein the touch line group 12 is electrically connected with the corresponding power line group 14 at one end far away from the test switch module 3 through the via hole 2 a.
In this embodiment, the test switch module 3 includes m switch devices 31, one switch device 31 is disposed corresponding to one touch line group 12, an output terminal of the switch device 31 is electrically connected to a second terminal of the touch line group 12, and an input terminal of each switch device 31 receives the detection voltage signal TPD. In the touch detection stage, the m switching devices 31 are turned on simultaneously, so that the detection voltage signal TPD is correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks 11.
Taking one of the touch electrode blocks 11a and the power voltage block 13a corresponding thereto as an example, the switching device 31a is electrically connected to the touch line group 12a corresponding to the touch electrode block 11a, and a first end of the touch line group 12a is electrically connected to a first end of the power line group 14a corresponding to the power voltage block 13 a. In the touch detection stage, the switching device 31a is turned on, and the detection voltage signal TPD is transmitted to the touch electrode block 11a through the turned-on switching device 31a and the touch line group 12a electrically connected thereto, and simultaneously transmitted to the power electrode block 13a along the touch line group 12a and the power line group 14 a.
If the touch line group 12a is not abnormal, the detection voltage signal TPD is transmitted to the power voltage block 13a, the power voltage block 13a provides power voltage signals for each pixel point covered by the power voltage block, and the display area driven by the power voltage block is normally displayed; if the trace of the touch line set 12a is abnormal, the detection voltage signal TPD cannot be transmitted to the power voltage block 13a, and the power voltage block 13a cannot provide a power voltage signal for each pixel covered by the power voltage block, then the display area corresponding to the driving of the power voltage block displays the abnormality.
In the touch detection stage, the m switching devices 31 are turned on simultaneously, so that the detection voltage signal TPD is correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks 11 and the power voltage block 13, and the detection principle of each touch line group 12 is the same. Theoretically, after the detection voltage signal is normally transmitted to the m power voltage blocks, the touch display device forms a frame of preset image. During touch detection, the touch display device displays a frame of picture, and if the actually displayed picture is consistent with a preset picture formed by driving by the detection voltage signal, the wiring of the m touch line groups is normal; if the actually displayed picture is incomplete or has obvious difference with a preset picture formed by driving by the detection voltage signal, the abnormal wiring of the touch line group of the touch electrode block corresponding to the display abnormal area is indicated. Therefore, the abnormal condition of the routing of the touch line group is judged according to whether the image displayed by the touch display device is abnormal or not.
In the touch detection stage, the detection voltage signal TPD can be selected as a fixed dc signal. As shown in fig. 3, after the detection voltage signal is normally transmitted to the m power voltage blocks, theoretically, the image displayed by the touch display device should be a frame of pure color image with uniform brightness, such as a white image or a black image. As shown in fig. 4, a frame of picture actually displayed by the touch display device is shown, where the display sub-areas 1a and 1b in the frame of picture are abnormal, and it can be determined that the trace abnormality exists in the touch line group electrically connected to the touch electrode block located in the abnormal display area, which results in the detection voltage signal not being transmitted to the power voltage block covered by the display sub-areas 1a and 1b, so that the actual display picture is different from the preset picture. Therefore, the detection of the wiring of the touch line set is realized through the display picture.
In the embodiment of the invention, the first end of the touch line group is electrically connected with the first end of the corresponding power line group through the via hole; the output end of the switch device is electrically connected with the second end of the corresponding touch line group, and the input end of the switch device receives a detection voltage signal TPD; and in the touch detection stage, the m switching devices are simultaneously conducted, so that the detection voltage signal TPD is correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks and the m power supply voltage blocks. Therefore, whether the routing of the touch line group is abnormal can be judged according to whether the image displayed by the touch display device is abnormal. Carry out touch-control with current direct touch-control and walk line anomaly detection and compare, through rational utilization power voltage piece, combine together touch-control test mode and display drive, directly adopt the mode of picture display to carry out touch-control test, the efficiency of the precision and the interception that can effectual promotion detected like this promotes the productivity, reduces the missed measure rate, has realized touch-control detection and has shown the detection integration.
Exemplarily, on the basis of the above technical solution, the selectable touch detection stages include a first screen touch detection stage and a second screen touch detection stage; in a first picture touch detection stage, m switching devices are simultaneously conducted, so that a first detection voltage signal is correspondingly transmitted to m touch electrode blocks; in the second picture touch detection stage, the m switching devices are simultaneously conducted, so that a second detection voltage signal is correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks; wherein the first detection voltage signal and the second detection voltage signal are different.
In this embodiment, in the first frame touch detection stage, m switching devices are turned on simultaneously, and the first detection voltage signal is correspondingly transmitted to m touch electrode blocks and a power supply voltage block; the touch display device displays a first picture, and if the actually displayed first picture is incomplete or has obvious difference with a preset first picture formed by driving of the detection voltage signal, the touch line group routing of the touch electrode block corresponding to the display abnormal area is abnormal. In the second picture touch detection stage, the m switching devices are simultaneously conducted, and a second detection voltage signal is correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks and the power supply voltage block; and the touch display device displays a second picture, and if the actually displayed second picture is incomplete or has obvious difference with a preset second picture formed by driving of the detection voltage signal, the abnormal wiring of the touch line group of the touch electrode block corresponding to the display abnormal area is indicated.
The first picture can be selected and preset as a white picture, and the second picture can be preset as a black picture. The touch display device is driven to display two different frames of pictures to carry out touch line set abnormity detection, so that the detection accuracy can be further improved, missing detection is avoided, and small defects can be detected by comparing the two frames of pictures.
For example, based on the above technical solution, as shown in fig. 5, the selectable test switch module 3 includes a first test switch group 3a and a second test switch group 3b, where the first test switch group 3a includes m1 first switches 311, the second test switch group 3b includes m2 second switches 312, output terminals of m1 first switches 311 are electrically connected to second terminals of m1 touch line groups 12, respectively, input terminals of m1 first switches 311 receive the first voltage signal TPD1, output terminals of m2 second switches 312 are electrically connected to second terminals of the remaining m2 touch line groups 12, respectively, input terminals of m2 second switches 312 receive the second voltage signal TPD2, and m1+ m2 ═ m; in the first screen touch detection stage, the m1 first switches 311 and the m2 second switches 312 are simultaneously turned on, so that the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks 11; in the second screen touch detection stage, the m1 first switches 311 and the m2 second switches 312 are simultaneously turned on, so that the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks 11; the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are different in the same picture, and the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are different in different pictures.
In this embodiment, the first test switch group 3a includes m1 identical first switches 311, and when the first switches 311 are turned on, the touch line group 12 electrically connected to the first switches 311 should transmit the first voltage signal TPD1 to the touch electrode block 11 and the power voltage block 13. If the trace of the touch line group 12 electrically connected to the first switch 311 is normal, the first voltage signal TPD1 is transmitted to the power voltage block 13 correspondingly connected to the touch line group 12, and the display area driven by the power voltage block 13 correspondingly displays normal. If the trace of the touch line group 12 electrically connected to the first switch 311 has an abnormal condition such as an open circuit, the first voltage signal TPD1 will not be transmitted to the power voltage block 13 correspondingly connected to the touch line group 12, which may cause an abnormal display of the display partition driven by the power voltage block 13, such as a black screen, or a display partition with a brightness different from that of the display partition driven by the other power voltage block 13 normally receiving the first voltage signal TPD 1.
The second test switch group 3b includes m2 identical second switches 312, when the second switches 312 are turned on, and the trace of the touch line group 12 electrically connected to the second switches 312 is normal, the second voltage signal TPD2 may be transmitted to the power voltage block 13 correspondingly connected to the touch line group 12, and the display partition driven by the power voltage block 13 correspondingly displays normally. If the trace of the touch line group 12 electrically connected to the second switch 312 has an abnormal condition such as an open circuit, the second voltage signal TPD2 cannot be transmitted to the power voltage block 13 correspondingly connected to the touch line group 12, so that the display of the display partition corresponding to the power voltage block 13 is abnormal, such as a black screen, or the brightness is obviously different from that of the display partition corresponding to the other power voltage block 13 normally receiving the TPD 2.
In the first screen touch detection stage, the m1 first switches 311 and the m2 second switches 312 are simultaneously turned on, so that the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks 11. The touch display device displays a first picture, pictures displayed by display partitions corresponding to power supply voltage blocks with the same voltage signal transmission in the first picture are theoretically consistent, and pictures displayed by the display partitions corresponding to the power supply voltage blocks with different voltage signal transmissions are different, so that whether touch wiring is abnormal or not can be judged according to the display conditions of the pictures of the different display partitions in the first picture.
In the second screen touch detection stage, the m1 first switches 311 and the m2 second switches 312 are simultaneously turned on, so that the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are correspondingly transmitted to the m touch electrode blocks 11; the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are different in the same picture, and the first voltage signal TPD1 and the second voltage signal TPD2 are different in different pictures. The touch display device displays a second picture, and whether the touch routing is abnormal can be judged according to the display conditions of different display partition pictures in the second picture.
The abnormal detection of the touch wiring is realized by adopting the picture partition display, and the wiring condition of the touch wiring group is judged by combining the display conditions of the first picture and the second picture, so that the detection accuracy can be further improved.
Exemplarily, on the basis of the above technical solution, each touch line group corresponding to a row of touch electrode blocks can be selected to be electrically connected to the switches of the same switch group; or each touch line group corresponding to one row of touch electrode blocks is electrically connected with the switch of the same switch group.

Fig. 9 is a comparison of the normal frame and the abnormal frame in the first frame touch detection stage shown in fig. 8, and fig. 10 is a comparison of the normal frame and the abnormal frame in the second frame touch detection stage shown in fig. 8. Two touch line groups 12 corresponding to any two adjacent touch electrode blocks 11 are electrically connected with switches of different test switch groups, so that the first picture and the second picture are both chessboard-format display pictures under the condition of normal wiring, and the pictures of the first picture and the second picture can be selected to be turned over. And judging whether the m touch line groups have abnormal wiring or not according to the display conditions of the first picture and the second picture.
