Fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a touch display device according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view along line I-I of fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view along line II-II of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, and fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the touch display device 100 includes a driving substrate 112, a display medium layer 114, an electrode substrate 116, a touch panel 120, a flexible circuit board 130, a water-blocking adhesive layer 140, and a sealant layer 150. The display medium layer 114 is disposed on the driving substrate 112. The electrode substrate 116 is disposed on the display medium layer 114. The touch panel 120 is disposed on the electrode substrate 116 and has a bonding region B. The flexible circuit board 130 is bonded to the bonding region B of the touch panel 120 and extends out of the touch panel 120. The water-blocking adhesive layer 140 is directly connected between the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130 and the top surface 113 of the driving substrate 112, which are located outside the touch panel 120. The sealant layer 150 is disposed on the driving substrate 112, and seals the edge 115 of the display medium layer 114, the edge 117 of the electrode substrate 116, and the edge 121 of the touch panel 120. The sealant layer 150 is located between the water blocking adhesive layer 140 and the edge 115 of the display medium layer 114 in cross section.
In detail, in the present embodiment, the driving substrate 112 is, for example, an active device array substrate, such as a Thin Film transistor (Thin Film Transistor, TFT) array substrate or a Thin Film Diode (TFD) array substrate, but not limited thereto. The electrode substrate 116 is composed of, for example, a transparent substrate, a barrier layer, and a transparent electrode layer (e.g., an ITO layer), but is not limited thereto. Here, the driving substrate 112, the display medium layer 114, and the electrode substrate 116 may define the display panel 110, wherein the display panel 110 is, for example, but not limited to, an electrophoretic display panel, an organic light emitting diode display panel, or a liquid crystal display panel.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, at the joint region B of the touch panel 120, the edge 115 of the display medium layer 114 is retracted by a distance G relative to the edge 117 of the electrode substrate 116 to form a space S, and the sealant layer 150 fills the space S as viewed along the cross section (i.e., along the sectional line I-I). The sealant layer 150 extends over the edge 117 of the electrode substrate 116 and the edge 121 of the touch panel 120 as viewed along another cross-section (i.e., along the cross-section line II-II). Since the water blocking adhesive layer 140 of the embodiment is directly connected between the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130 outside the touch panel 120 and the top surface 113 of the driving substrate 112, the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130 outside the touch panel 120 will not have the sealant layer 150, so as not to damage the circuit of the touch panel 120. Therefore, the touch display device 100 of the present embodiment can have a better structural reliability and can pass the cold and hot impact test.
Furthermore, the touch display device 100 of the present embodiment further includes an adhesive layer 192 disposed between the touch panel 120 and the electrode substrate 116, wherein the touch panel 120 is fixed on the electrode substrate 116 through the adhesive layer 192. Furthermore, the touch display device 100 further includes a light guide plate 160 and a cover plate 170. The light guide plate 160 is disposed on the touch panel 120, and the cover 170 is disposed on the light guide plate 160. The touch display device 100 of the present embodiment further includes an adhesive layer 194 (i.e., a first adhesive layer) and an adhesive layer 196 (i.e., a second adhesive layer). The adhesive layer 194 is disposed between the light guide plate 160 and the touch panel 120, wherein the light guide plate 160 is fixed on the touch panel 120 through the adhesive layer 194. The adhesive layer 196 is disposed between the cover plate 170 and the light guide plate 160, wherein the cover plate 170 is fixed on the light guide plate 160 by the adhesive layer 196. In addition, the touch display device 100 of the present embodiment further includes an external circuit 180, which is structurally and electrically connected to the driving substrate 112. Here, the external circuit 180 is, for example, a flexible circuit board, but not limited thereto.
In one embodiment, the thickness of the water blocking layer 140 is, for example, the thickness of the display medium layer 114 (e.g., 55 micrometers) plus the thickness of the electrode substrate 116 (e.g., 10 micrometers) and plus the thickness of the adhesive layer 192 (e.g., 50 micrometers). The thickness of the driving substrate 112 (e.g., 14 micrometers) is approximately equal to the thickness of the touch panel 120 (e.g., 13 micrometers). The thickness of the cover plate 170, the thickness of the light guide plate 160, the thickness of the adhesive layer 194, the thickness of the adhesive layer 196, the thickness of the flexible circuit board 130, and the thickness of the external circuit 180 are approximately the same, for example, 50 μm, respectively.
In the manufacturing process of the touch display device 100, referring to fig. 2 again, the display medium layer 114 and the electrode substrate 116 can be sequentially formed on the driving substrate 112. On the other hand, the flexible circuit board 130 may be bonded to the bonding region B of the touch panel 120, wherein the flexible circuit board 130 extends out of the touch panel 120. Next, the water-blocking adhesive layer 140 is attached to the flexible circuit board 130 outside the touch panel 120, wherein the water-blocking adhesive layer 140 is directly connected to the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130. Next, the touch panel 120 with the water-blocking adhesive layer 140 is bonded to the electrode substrate 116 through the adhesive layer 192, so that the water-blocking adhesive layer 140 is directly adhered to the top surface 113 of the driving substrate 112. At this time, the water blocking layer 140 is directly connected between the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130 and the top surface 113 of the driving substrate 112 outside the touch panel 120. Thereafter, the sealant layer 150 is filled on the driving substrate 112 to seal the edge 115 of the display medium layer 114, the edge 117 of the electrode substrate 116, and the edge 121 of the touch panel 120. In short, in the embodiment, the water-blocking adhesive layer 140 is first adhered to the touch panel 120, then the touch panel 120 with the water-blocking adhesive layer 140 is bonded to the display panel 110, and finally the sealant layer 150 is filled in the space S formed by the touch panel 120 and the display panel 110. Finally, an adhesive layer 194, a light guide plate 160, an adhesive layer 196 and a cover plate 170 are sequentially formed on the touch panel 120. The adhesive layer 194 is formed between the light guide plate 160 and the touch panel 120, and the light guide plate 160 is fixed on the touch panel 120 through the adhesive layer 194. The adhesive layer 196 is formed between the cover plate 170 and the light guide plate 160, and the cover plate 170 is fixed on the light guide plate 160 by the adhesive layer 196. Thus, the fabrication of the touch display device 100 is completed.
In an embodiment, if the adhesive material of the sealant layer 150 has low viscosity and is easy to permeate, the capillary seepage principle can be utilized to make the sealant layer 150 spread in two sides of the bonding area B circuit of the touch panel 120 and fill the space S. Since the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130 located outside the touch panel 120 has no sealant layer 150, the circuit of the touch panel 120 is not damaged when the touch panel 120 is attached. On the other hand, if the adhesive material of the sealant 150 has high viscosity, the waterproof adhesive layer 140 is attached to the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130, then the touch panel 120 with the waterproof adhesive layer 140 attached thereto is assembled to the display panel 110, and finally the sealant 150 is filled. Therefore, the sealant layer 150 only needs to be filled/coated in the space S inside the water blocking adhesive layer 140. Since the bottom surface 131 of the flexible circuit board 130 located outside the touch panel 120 has no sealant layer 150, the circuit of the touch panel 120 is not damaged when the touch panel 120 is attached.
In summary, in the design of the touch display device of the present invention, the water-blocking adhesive layer is directly connected between the bottom surface of the flexible circuit board located outside the touch panel and the top surface of the driving substrate, and the sealing adhesive layer is located between the water-blocking adhesive layer and the edge of the display medium layer in a cross-sectional view. That is, the bottom surface of the flexible circuit board outside the touch panel is not provided with a sealant layer, so that the metal circuit on the touch panel is not damaged. Therefore, the touch display device of the invention can have better structural reliability and can pass the cold and hot impact test.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
