Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects to be solved more clear, the application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "mounted" or "disposed" on another element, it can be directly on the other element or be indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or be indirectly connected to the other element.
It is to be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," and the like are merely for convenience in describing and simplifying the description based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus are not to be construed as limiting the application.
Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless explicitly defined otherwise.
As to the background art, for the in-cell touch screen, touch control is added on the basis of display control, so that the number of channels of the control chip of the in-cell touch screen is increased, the occupied space of the control chip is large, and the in-cell touch screen is difficult to realize narrow frame design. Meanwhile, the channel for realizing touch control can be changed along with the actual product size and the actual resolution requirement, so that the control chip cannot be customized, and the design and manufacturing cost of the control chip are increased.
For example, for a typical in-cell touch screen product, a common driving technology is TDDI, i.e., touch and display driver integration (Touch and Display Driver Integration), which integrates a touch chip and a display chip into a single overall control chip. As shown in fig. 1, for example, the touch electrode 121 is connected to the overall control chip 100 through the touch line 16, and the first pixel electrode 1311 is connected to the overall control chip 100 through the data line. In addition, referring to fig. 2, for the in-cell touch screen product including the second display area 132, the touch electrodes 121 outside the second display area 132 are also connected to the overall control chip 100 through the touch lines 16, respectively.
In actual display, a part of the display time is taken as the touch acquisition time to perform touch identification. The total control chip used by the TDDI needs to be specially customized according to the size, resolution and the number of touch electrodes, and is generally customized and dedicated, and the total control chip has long customization time, no universality and high cost. In addition, the channel for realizing the touch control can be changed along with the actual product size and the actual resolution requirement, so that the total control chip cannot be used universally, and needs to be carefully customized according to different products and resolution requirements, thereby leading to high design and manufacturing costs.
On the other hand, when the touch control and the display drive are integrated together, the touch control lines and the data lines are required to be connected into the whole control chip positioned on the lower frame, the total number of the signal lines is very large, and in the actual drive design, the space occupied by the signal lines is very large, so that the narrow frame cannot be realized. And when the space is limited, an additional metal layer is needed to make the overlapping design of the signal lines so as to save space, thus at least 2 layers of photomasks are additionally added, and the punching difficulty is also increased. In addition, when the actual control channel is limited, the touch sensitivity is also affected.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides an array substrate 1, and the array substrate 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application will now be described.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the array substrate 1 includes a glass substrate 11, a common electrode layer 12, a pixel electrode layer 13, a first control circuit 14 and a second control circuit 15; the common electrode layer 12 and the pixel electrode layer 13 are respectively formed on the glass substrate 11 and are arranged in an insulating manner; the pixel electrode layer 13 includes a first display area 131 and a second display area 132, the first display area 131 includes a plurality of first pixel electrodes 1311, each first pixel electrode 1311 is connected to the second control circuit 15 through a data line 20, and each first pixel electrode 1311 is disposed around the second display area 132; the common electrode layer 12 is divided into a plurality of touch electrodes 121, each touch electrode 121 is connected to the first control circuit 14 through a touch line 16, and the first control circuit 14 is connected to each touch line 16 in the second display area 132.
The first display area 131 is disposed around the second display area 132, the size of the second display area 132 is far smaller than that of the first display area 131, and the second display area 132 may be elliptical or racetrack. The first display area 131 is used for normal display of the touch display panel, the second display area 132 is used for dynamic display of the touch display panel, for example, when a call or a short message is notified, the second display area 132 changes its display form so that a user can intuitively receive the information, and in addition, the second display area 132 can also be used for displaying electric quantity and switching to a music display lamp of a background.
In a direction perpendicular to the array substrate 1, the projection of the touch electrode 121 covers the projections of the plurality of first pixel electrodes 1311. Therefore, the touch electrode 121 can be used as a common electrode and can be multiplexed as the touch electrode 121. The first control circuit 14 is connected to each touch electrode 121, and the first control circuit 14 is configured to provide a touch signal to the touch electrode 121 so that the touch electrode 121 serves as the touch electrode 121, and the first control circuit 14 is also configured to provide a common voltage to the touch electrode 121 so that the touch electrode 121 serves as the common electrode.
The second control circuits 15 are respectively connected to the first pixel electrodes 1311, and the second control circuits 15 are configured to supply data signals to the data lines 20, and the second control circuits 15 are configured to supply scan signals to the gate lines.
According to the array substrate 1 provided by the embodiment of the application, the touch control lines 16 and the data lines 20 are respectively connected to the first control circuit 14 and the second control circuit 15 which are positioned at two opposite sides of the array substrate 1, namely, control signals are respectively provided for the touch control lines 16 and the data lines 20 through the first control circuit 14 and the second control circuit 15, so that on one hand, the first control circuit 14 can set a touch control channel according to the actual product size and the actual resolution requirement, and the touch control sensitivity can be higher without being limited by the screen size and the resolution; on the other hand, the number of display control channels of the second control circuit 15 is also certain, and the display control channels are not limited by the screen size and resolution, and are not limited by whether touch control needs exist, that is, the second control circuit 15 can be universal, so that the design and manufacturing cost of the second control circuit 15 is greatly reduced. In addition, when the first control circuit 14 and the second control circuit 15 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the array substrate 1, the space of the second display area 132 above the array substrate 1 can be fully utilized, and meanwhile, the number of channels of the second control circuit 15 can be greatly reduced, so that the position of the second control circuit 15 occupying the lower frame is reduced, and the narrow frame design of the touch display panel is facilitated.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the second display area 132 and the second control circuit 15 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the glass substrate 11. For convenience of description, the present application sets the upper, lower, left, and right in fig. 2 to 4 as four orientations of the upper, lower, left, and right of the array substrate 1. In practice, when the user erects the touch display panel for use, the up-down-left-right direction in fig. 3 is the up-down-left-right direction of the touch display panel. In order to facilitate connection between the touch display panel and the overall control circuit, the second control circuit 15 is generally disposed below the array substrate 1, so that the second display area 132 and the second control circuit 15 in the present application are disposed on opposite sides of the array substrate 1, specifically, the first control circuit 14 and the second control circuit 15 are disposed on the lower side and the upper side of the array substrate 1, respectively. It should be understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, when the space on the left and right sides of the array substrate 1 is sufficiently large, the first control circuit 14 and the second control circuit 15 may be disposed on the left and right sides of the array substrate 1, which is not limited only.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the first display area 131 is disposed around the lower side and the left and right sides of the second display area 132, that is, the second display area 132 is located above the first display area 131 and near the middle position, so that the layout design of the first control circuit 14 can be performed from above the second display area 132 without displaying and touching the upper side of the second display area 132.
In addition, since the second display area 132 only needs a simple graphic display, which does not need to reach the display pixels of the first display area 131, the second pixel electrode 1321 in the second display area 132 generally does not need to have the same pixel size as the first pixel electrode 1311, and the pixel of the second pixel electrode 1321 can be generally designed to be larger, so that the space between the second pixel electrodes 1321 will be more, and the available space will be more.
Specifically, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the second display area 132 includes a plurality of second pixel electrodes 1321, and each of the first pixel electrodes 1311 is disposed below and on the left and right sides of each of the second pixel electrodes 1321; a plurality of first metal pins 17 are formed on the glass substrate 11, each first metal pin 17 being provided in a gap or an edge of each second pixel electrode 1321; each touch control line 16 is connected with each first metal pin 17 in a one-to-one correspondence manner; one end of the first control circuit 14 is electrically connected to each first metal pin 17, and the other end of the first control circuit 14 is used for being connected to a total control circuit of the touch display device.
Specifically, the first metal pins 17 are sequentially disposed between the second pixel electrodes 1321 at intervals along the left-right direction of the glass substrate 11, and the first metal pins 17 may be formed by depositing a metal material on the front surface of the glass substrate 11. The first control circuits 14 are respectively and correspondingly connected with the first metal pins 17, and the first metal pins 17 are joints for realizing connection of the touch control lines 16 and the first control circuits 14.
In this embodiment, by disposing the first metal pins 17 between or at the edge of the second pixel electrodes 1321, the first metal pins 17 do not affect the display of the second pixel electrodes 1321, the first metal pins 17 can form a one-to-one electrical connection relationship with the touch lines 16, and the first control circuit 14 can also form a communication connection with the touch lines 16 through the first metal pins 17, so that the touch lines 16 can be electrically connected to the overall control circuit, and simultaneously can also provide touch signals and voltage signals to the touch lines 16.
When the touch lines 16 are connected, the touch lines 16 located at the left and right sides of the second display area 132 can be wound above the second display area 132 and then connected with the corresponding first metal pins 17. The touch line 16 under the second display area 132 may extend directly under the second display area 132 to form a connection with the corresponding first metal pin 17. Thus, the touch lines 16 are prevented from being crowded.
In one embodiment, the first control circuit 14 is designed as a flip-chip thin film package structure. Specifically, referring to fig. 7, the first control circuit 14 includes a first flexible substrate circuit 141 and a first control chip 142, one end of the first flexible substrate circuit 141 is correspondingly connected to the glass substrate 11, and the other end of the first flexible substrate circuit 141 is connected to the overall control circuit; the first control chip 142 is bonded to the first flexible substrate 141. The first flexible substrate circuit 141 includes a joint plate 1411 and a flexible plate 1412, wherein the joint plate 1411 is joined to the glass substrate 11, one end of the flexible plate 1412 is connected to the joint plate 1411, and the first control chip 142 is joined to the flexible plate 1412.
Wherein the joint plate 1411 is a transparent substrate. In general, the end portion of the first flexible substrate circuit 141 is press-connected to the glass substrate 11 through the hard bonding plate 1411, and in order to set the bonding plate 1411 without affecting the display of the second display area 132, the bonding plate 1411 is generally made of a transparent material.
In this embodiment, the first control circuit 14 is designed as a flip-chip film package structure, so that not only the touch control line 16 and the data line 20 can be respectively connected and controlled, but also the first control chip 142 can be integrated on the first flexible substrate circuit 141, so that the touch control signal and the voltage signal can be provided to the touch control line 16 through the first control chip 142, and meanwhile, the occupied space of the first control circuit 14 on the array substrate 1 can be reduced, so that the touch control line 16 can be connected to the top of the array substrate 1. It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, when the top space of the array substrate 1 is sufficiently large, the first control chip 142 may be directly bonded to the glass substrate 11, and then connected to the first control chip 142 through one end of the first flexible substrate circuit 141, and the other end of the first flexible substrate circuit 141 is used for connection to a total control circuit, which is not limited herein.
In one embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 3, 5 and 7, the first control circuit 14 is directly bonded to each first metal pin 17, that is, the bonding plate 1411 is directly bonded to each first metal pin 17, and the bonding plate 1411 is a transparent substrate. By the arrangement, the signal control of the first control circuit 14 on each touch control line 16 can be realized, and meanwhile, the connection structure of the first control circuit 14 is simple and the cost is low.
In another embodiment of the present application, the first control circuit 14 may be provided on the back surface of the glass substrate 11. Specifically, referring to fig. 6 and 8 to 10, a plurality of second metal pins 18 are formed on the back surface of the glass substrate 11, and the number of the second metal pins 18 is the same as the number of the first metal pins 17; the second metal pins 18 are electrically connected with the first metal pins 17 through flexible connection structures; one end of the first control circuit 14 is electrically connected to each second metal pin 18, and the other end of the first control circuit 14 is connected to the overall control circuit.
In this embodiment, by forming the plurality of second metal pins 18 on the back surface of the glass substrate 11, each first metal pin 17 can be correspondingly transferred to each second metal pin 18 one by one through the flexible connection structure, and the first control circuit 14 can be further arranged on the glass substrate 11 away from the glass substrate, so that the space occupied by the connection of the first control circuit 14 on the front surface of the glass substrate 11 is reduced.
Specifically, the second metal pins 18 may be formed by depositing a metal material on the back surface of the glass substrate 11.
Optionally, the distance between the adjacent second metal pins 18 is smaller than the distance between the adjacent first metal pins 17, so that the total width of each second metal pin 18 is smaller than the total width of each first metal pin 17, that is, the width of the connecting end of the first control circuit 14 and each second metal pin 18 can also be reduced, so that the width of the glass substrate 11 occupied by the joint plate 1411 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the design of a narrow frame of the array substrate 1 and is beneficial to the side lead. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments of the present application, when the space on the back surface of the glass substrate 11 is sufficiently large, the pitch of the adjacent second metal pins 18 may be designed to be equal to or larger than the pitch of the adjacent first metal pins 17, which is not limited only herein.

Specifically, one end of the wire 19 is connected to the first metal pin 17, and the other end of the wire 19 is connected to the second metal pin 18.
