Detailed Description
In order to make the technical scheme and advantages of the invention clearer, the specific implementation of the touch module and the touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The thickness and shape of each layer of film in the drawing do not reflect the real proportion of the touch module, and are only partial structures of the touch module, so that the invention is only schematically illustrated.
In recent years, with the advancement of intelligent display technology, an OLED display has become one of the hot spots in the research field of the present display, and with the thinning of the display panel, the display panel and the touch are more and more tightly combined, however, with the tight combination of the display panel and the touch, some display problems still exist. Aiming at the metal grid touch screen, a signal transmitting end Tx (driving electrode) and a signal receiving end Rx (sensing electrode) of a visible area (touch area) adopt a metal grid structure to collect touch signals. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a schematic top view structure of a touch area Tx, fig. 2 is a schematic top view structure of a touch area Rx, tx and Rx are arranged in an insulating and crossing manner, tx is electrically connected to a chip (IC, not shown) of a non-touch area through a Tx lead 01, and Rx is electrically connected to a chip (IC) of a non-touch area through an Rx lead 02; in touch, since the IC provides a strong signal to Tx, rx receives a touch signal according to the plate capacitance principle, in order to avoid the influence of the strong signal on Tx lead 01 on the weak signal on Rx lead 02 in the fan-out area of the lead, a ground signal line GND is further disposed between Tx lead 01 and Rx lead 02 to shield the influence of the strong signal on Tx lead 01 on the weak signal on Rx lead 02. However, as can be seen from fig. 2, there is no shielding line between the Rx channels and the Tx channels at the left and right edges of the touch area, so that weak signals of the Rx channels of the touch area are subjected to electromagnetic interference of strong signals of the Tx trace 01 area and the external environment at the left and right edges of the touch area, resulting in poor uniformity of Rx signals received by the IC, and products exceeding the processing specification of the IC are judged as defective products and cannot be shipped, resulting in yield loss of factories.

the second edge electrode sub-channel 212 is located between the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 and the first intermediate electrode channel 22, and the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 is grounded, i.e., the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 is electrically connected to a first ground signal line GND1, and the first ground signal line GND1 is described later.

In a specific implementation, in the touch module provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, a non-touch area BB includes a first lead layer (02) and a second lead layer (01) that are disposed in an insulating manner, where the first lead layer (02) and the first electrode layer belong to the same layer, and the second lead layer (01) and the second electrode layer belong to the same layer; therefore, the patterns of the first lead layer (02) and the first electrode layer can be formed through one-time patterning process only by changing the original patterning pattern when the first electrode layer is formed, and the process for independently preparing the first lead layer (02) is not needed to be added, so that the preparation process flow can be simplified, the production cost is saved, and the production efficiency is improved; and the original pattern is changed when the second electrode layer is formed, the patterns of the second lead layer (01) and the second electrode layer can be formed through one-time pattern forming process, the process of independently preparing the second lead layer (01) is not needed to be added, the preparation process flow can be simplified, the production cost is saved, and the production efficiency is improved. Since fig. 3 and 5 are schematic plan view structures of the present invention, the first lead layer (02) and the second lead layer (01) are shown on the same plane, and of course the first lead layer (02) and the first electrode layer are the same layer, and the second lead layer (01) and the second electrode layer are the same layer;

In a specific implementation, in the touch module provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the orthographic projection of the first ground signal line GND1 on the substrate 1 is located between the orthographic projection of the plurality of first electrode leads 02 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the plurality of second electrode leads 01 on the substrate 1. Thus, the periphery of the plurality of first electrode channels and the periphery of the plurality of first electrode leads 02 are surrounded by the grounding signals, and interference of external signals can be effectively shielded.
In a specific implementation, in the touch module provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the orthographic projection of the second ground signal line GND2 on the substrate 1 surrounds the orthographic projections of the plurality of second electrode leads 01 on the substrate 1.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the core of the present invention is illustrated by taking the first electrode in the first electrode channels (212, 22) in fig. 3 as the sensing electrode Rx, and the second electrode in the second electrode channels (312, 32) in fig. 3 as the driving electrode Tx.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, since the IC provides a strong signal to Tx in the second electrode channels (312, 32), according to the plate capacitance principle, rx in the first electrode channels (212, 22) receives a touch signal, the present invention realizes stability and uniformity of the edge Rx signal received by the IC by electrically connecting the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 with the first ground signal line GND1, and since the orthographic projection of the first ground signal line GND1 is located between the orthographic projections of the first electrode lead 02 and the second electrode lead 01, the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 and the first ground signal line GND1 at both side edges of the first electrode layer enclose the plurality of first electrode channels, so that the strong signal on the Tx lead 01 at both side edges of the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 is shielded by the signal on GND1, and the strong signal on the Tx lead 01 does not affect the weak signal on Rx and the first electrode lead 02; in addition, according to the invention, the first edge electrode channel 21 is divided into the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 and the second edge electrode sub-channel 212, the first edge electrode sub-channel 211 is grounded, and the second edge electrode sub-channel 212 is used as the original first edge electrode channel 21, so that the signal variation of the first edge electrode channel 21 is also reduced when the first edge electrode channel 21 is reduced, and in an IC algorithm, the touch signal is mainly analyzed according to the signal variation, so that the signal quantity of the first edge electrode channel 21 can better meet the strict specification of an IC, the problem that abrupt points are difficult to occur in the edge electrode channel is solved, and the factory yield is improved.
As shown in fig. 5, the second edge electrode channel 31 is divided into the third edge electrode sub-channel 311 and the fourth edge electrode sub-channel 312, the third edge electrode sub-channel 311 is grounded, and the fourth edge electrode sub-channel 312 is used as the original second edge electrode channel 31, so that the second electrode layer and the second electrode lead 01 are completely surrounded by the second grounding signal line GND2, and thus, the GND2 signal shields the external electromagnetic wave signal, so that the external electromagnetic wave signal does not interfere with the Tx channel, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the Tx signal, and further ensuring the uniformity and stability of the Rx signal.
In the embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, the first edge electrode channel 21 and the first intermediate electrode channel 22 are electrically connected to the first electrode lead 02 through a connection 03 (Connect Pad), and the second edge electrode channel 31 and the second intermediate electrode channel 32 are electrically connected to the second electrode lead 01 through a connection 04.
