The invention provides the embodiment to solve the technical problems that the display is influenced by parasitic capacitance between an electrode of the light control sensor and a receiving electrode of the touch control sensor and mutual crosstalk of electric fields between the light control sensor, a pixel electrode and liquid crystal due to the fact that the light control sensor and the touch control sensor are in-cell structures in the existing touch control display panel.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the invention provides a touch display panel 100, which includes a display driver, a light control sensor and a touch sensor, where the display driver is used for implementing display, the light control sensor is used for implementing optical touch, and the touch sensor is used for implementing capacitive touch.
The light control sensor can be used for remote touch control, and the touch sensor can be used for near touch control, so that multifunctional touch control display is realized.
Specifically, the photo sensor includes an output transistor T2 and a photo transistor T3 electrically connected, wherein the photo transistor T3 is configured to sense a change in luminous flux, generate a photo current according to the sensed luminous flux, and the photo current flows from a source to a drain of the sensing transistor T3 via a channel, and charges generated by the photo current are output to the detection IC through the output transistor T2. Whether or not to perform a touch is determined based on the value of the photocurrent. The photo sensor includes, but is not limited to, any one of a 2T1C (two thin film transistors and 1 storage capacitor) architecture, a 4T1C architecture, and a 5T1C architecture. In this embodiment, a 2T1C structure will be described as an example.
The touch sensor can be in a mutual capacitance touch mode and comprises a transmitting electrode and a touch electrode.
The touch display panel 100 further includes a first substrate 10 and a light emitting layer disposed on the first substrate 10, the display driver is configured to drive the light emitting layer to emit light to realize display, and the light emitting layer includes, but is not limited to, any one of a liquid crystal material, an OLED (organic light emitting diode), a QLED (quantum dot light emitting diode), a Mini-led, and a Micro-led.
In this embodiment, the photo sensor may be in-cell structure, i.e. integrated inside the light emitting layer. Compared with the externally-hung structure, the overall thickness of the touch display panel 100 can be reduced.
Specifically, the light control sensor is disposed on the first substrate 10 and between the first substrate 10 and the light emitting layer.
Further, the light control sensor may be disposed on the first substrate 10 in the same layer as the display driver, that is, each metal device of the thin film transistor of the light control sensor and each metal device of the thin film transistor of the display driver may be formed by the same metal layer.
Because the light-operated sensor and the touch sensor are synchronously integrated in the display layer in the prior art, parasitic capacitance exists between the electrode of the light-operated sensor and the electrode of the touch sensor, and electric fields among the sensors are mutually interfered, one of the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode of the touch sensor is set to be an external hanging structure (arranged outside the light-emitting layer) and the other is set to be an in-cell structure (arranged in the light-emitting layer), so that the influence of the electrode of the touch sensor on the interference of other sensors is reduced, and compared with a pure external hanging structure (the transmitting electrode and the receiving electrode are both arranged outside the light-emitting layer), the touch sensor has lower cost and thinner thickness.
A frame display period of the touch display panel may include a first time period during which the display driver operates with the light control sensor and a second time period; and in the second time period, the touch sensor works. By carrying out frame time-sharing work on the touch sensor, the display driver and the light-operated sensor, the problems that the common electrode of the display driver interferes with a touch signal and the electrode of the light-operated sensor and the touch electrode generate parasitic capacitance can be solved.
The touch display panel further comprises a plurality of scanning lines, and the light-operated touch sensor and the display driver are electrically connected to the same scanning line, so that synchronous work of display and light control is realized, and the refresh rate and the report rate of display and light control are improved.

The pixel electrode 30 is disposed on the display driver 101 and the photo sensor 102, and the pixel electrode 30 is electrically connected to the switching transistor T1 of the display driver 101.
The touch sensor is a mutual capacitance touch structure, and the touch sensor includes a first touch electrode 92 and a second touch electrode 110, wherein the first touch electrode 92 is one of a transmitting electrode Tx and a receiving electrode Rx, and the second touch electrode 110 is the other of the transmitting electrode Tx and the receiving electrode Rx. In the present embodiment, the first touch electrode 92 is a transmitting electrode Tx, and the second touch electrode 110 is a receiving electrode Rx, but not limited thereto.
The first touch electrode 92 may be disposed on a side of the second substrate 60 facing the first substrate 10, and the second touch electrode 110 may be disposed on a side of the second substrate 60 facing away from the first substrate 10.
The multiplexing electrodes are used as electrodes with different functions at different time periods, so that the process cost can be reduced and the thickness of the touch display panel 100 can be reduced. When the multiplexing electrode is used as a common electrode in a display stage, the common electrode and the pixel electrode 30 form a liquid crystal capacitor, and at least one part of the multiplexing electrode is used as an emitting electrode or a receiving electrode of a touch driver in a touch stage, so that the interference of the common electrode to a touch signal can be effectively solved, and the improvement on the VA type display panel is more obvious.
In the present embodiment, the photo sensor 102 may have a 2T1C structure, and the photo sensor 102 includes an output transistor T2, a photo transistor T3, and a storage capacitor Cst. In other embodiments, the photo sensor 102 may be 3T1C, 4T1C, or 5T 1C.

The Readout line Readout may be externally connected to a detection unit IC of the touch display panel 100 for detecting a detection position, and voltages of the first power line SVDD and the second power line SVGG are fixed voltages.
The driving principle of the photo sensor 102 is as follows: when a certain amount of light is sensed in the active layer of the photo transistor T3 by applying a driving voltage to the source of the photo transistor T3 through the first power line SVDD and applying a fixed voltage to the gate of the photo transistor T3 through the second power line SVGG, a photocurrent is generated according to the sensed amount of light and flows from the source to the drain of the sense transistor T3 via the channel. The photocurrent flows to the storage capacitor Cst through the drain of the photo transistor T3. Accordingly, the charges generated by the photocurrent are accumulated in the storage capacitor Cst through the first source line SVDD and the second power supply line SVGG. The charge accumulated in the storage capacitor Cst flows to the Readout line Readout through the source or drain of the output transistor T2 to be detected by the detection cell IC connected to the Readout line Readout, and whether or not light control is performed is determined based on the value of the photocurrent.
