Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are only a few embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the disclosure without any inventive step, are within the scope of the disclosure.
It should be noted that in the drawings, the size and relative sizes of elements may be exaggerated for clarity and/or descriptive purposes. As such, the sizes and relative sizes of the respective elements are not necessarily limited to those shown in the drawings. In the description and drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar parts.
When an element is referred to as being "on," "connected to" or "coupled to" another element, it can be directly on, connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present. However, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to" or "directly coupled to" another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other terms and/or expressions used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner, e.g., "between … …" versus "directly between … …", "adjacent" versus "directly adjacent", or "on … … versus" directly on … … ", etc. Further, the term "connected" may refer to physical, electrical, communication, and/or fluid connections. Further, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of the rectangular coordinate system, and may be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X, Y, and Z axes may be perpendicular to each other, or may represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For purposes of this disclosure, "at least one of X, Y and Z" and "at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y and Z" can be interpreted as X only, Y only, Z only, or any combination of two or more of X, Y and Z such as XYZ, XY, YZ and XZ. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
It should be noted that, although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, elements, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, elements, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are used to distinguish one element, component, element, region, layer or section from another. Thus, for example, a first component, a first member, a first element, a first region, a first layer, and/or a first portion discussed below could be termed a second component, a second member, a second element, a second region, a second layer, and/or a second portion without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.
For purposes of description, spatial relational terms, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and the like may be used herein to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" or "over" the other elements or features.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless otherwise stated, the expression "height" or "thickness" refers to a dimension along a surface of each film layer disposed perpendicular to the touch display panel, that is, a dimension along a light emitting direction of the touch display panel, or a dimension along a normal direction of the display device.
Herein, unless otherwise specified, the expression "patterning process" generally includes the steps of coating of photoresist, exposure, development, etching, stripping of photoresist, and the like. The expression "one-time patterning process" means a process of forming a patterned layer, member, or the like using one mask plate.
The expression "the same layer", "the same layer arrangement", or the like refers to a layer structure formed by forming a film layer for forming a specific pattern by the same film formation process and then patterning the film layer by a single patterning process using the same mask plate. Depending on the specific pattern, one patterning process may include multiple exposure, development or etching processes, and the specific pattern in the formed layer structure may be continuous or discontinuous. These specific patterns may also be at different heights or have different thicknesses.
Herein, unless otherwise specified, the expression "electrically connected" may mean that two parts or elements are directly electrically connected, for example, part or element a is in direct contact with part or element B, and an electrical signal may be transmitted therebetween; it may also mean that two components or elements are electrically connected through a conductive medium such as a conductive wire, for example, component or element a is electrically connected with component or element B through a conductive wire to transmit an electrical signal between the two components or elements; it may also mean that two components or elements are electrically connected through at least one electronic component, for example, component or element a is electrically connected through at least one thin film transistor with component or element B to transmit an electrical signal between the two components or elements.
The embodiment of the disclosure at least provides a touch display panel and a display device. The touch display panel includes: the display device comprises a substrate base plate, a display panel and a display panel, wherein the substrate base plate comprises a display area and a peripheral area at least positioned on at least one side of the display area; a plurality of pixel units disposed in the display region, the pixel units including a pixel driving circuit and a light emitting element electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit, the light emitting element including a first electrode; a plurality of touch electrodes disposed in the display area; the touch wire is electrically connected with at least one touch electrode, and at least one part of the touch wire extends to the peripheral area; the touch lead is arranged in the peripheral area, and the touch lead are positioned in different conducting layers; the contact groove is located in the peripheral area, and the touch trace and the touch lead are in contact in the contact groove, wherein the touch trace has a first touch trace portion located in the contact groove, the substrate base plate has an upper surface close to the pixel unit, and the first touch trace portion extends obliquely relative to the upper surface of the substrate base plate.

Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the touch display panel taken along line CC' in fig. 5 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the touch display panel taken along a line DD' in fig. 2, schematically illustrating a cross-sectional structure of the touch display panel in a display area, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to fig. 1, a touch display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: the substrate 10, for example, the substrate 10 may be formed of glass, plastic, polyimide, or the like. The substrate 10 includes a display area AA and a peripheral area (or referred to as a non-display area) NA located on at least one side of the display area AA.
The touch display panel may include a plurality of pixel units P (schematically illustrated in fig. 1 by a dotted line frame) disposed in the display area AA, and the plurality of pixel units P may be arranged in an array along the directions X and Y on the substrate base 10. Each pixel unit P may further include a plurality of sub-pixels, such as a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel. In fig. 1, one sub-pixel SP is schematically shown.
For example, the touch display panel includes a signal input side IN1 (lower side shown IN fig. 1). At the signal input side IN1, a data driving chip IC may be provided, which may be electrically connected to the pixel cells P located at the display area through a plurality of signal wirings, and a pixel driving circuit may be electrically connected to the data driving chip IC. IN this way, signals such as data signals, scan signals, touch signals, and the like can be transmitted from the signal input side IN1 to the plurality of pixel units P.
For example, as shown in fig. 1, the peripheral area NA may be located on four sides of the display area AA, i.e., it surrounds the display area AA.
It should be noted that, in the drawings, the pixel unit and the sub-pixel are schematically illustrated in a rectangular shape, but this does not limit the shape of the pixel unit and the sub-pixel included in the touch display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the pixel units P may include a pixel driving circuit and a light emitting device electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit. For example, the light emitting device may be an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED), or the like. The light emitting device may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and a light emitting layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode.
One of the first electrode and the second electrode is an anode, and the other is a cathode. For example, the first electrode may be an anode. The second electrode may be a cathode. The light emitting layer may be a multi-layered structure, for example, it may include a multi-layered structure formed of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an organic light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer.
It is to be noted that the light emitting device such as an organic light emitting diode may be driven actively or passively. The passive driving OLED array substrate is composed of a cathode and an anode, the crossing part of the anode and the cathode can emit light, and the driving circuit can be externally installed in a connection mode of tape carrier packaging, glass chip packaging and the like. The active driving OLED array substrate may be provided with a pixel driving circuit for each pixel, and the pixel driving circuit may include a thin film transistor having a switching function (i.e., a switching transistor), a thin film transistor having a driving function (i.e., a driving transistor), and a charge storage capacitor, and in addition, the pixel driving circuit may include other types of thin film transistors having a compensation function. It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the touch display panel may be provided with various known pixel driving circuits, which are not described herein again. For example, each pixel unit P may include a pixel driving circuit having a circuit structure of 7T1C, 7T2C, 8T2C, or 4T1C, etc., in the art, and the pixel driving circuit operates under the control of a data signal transmitted through a data line and a gate scanning signal and a light emission control signal transmitted through a signal line to drive the light emitting device to emit light, thereby realizing operations such as display.
For example, the touch display panel may include a driving circuit layer, and the pixel driving circuit may be disposed in the driving circuit layer. Between the driving circuit layer and the light emitting device, an insulating layer may be provided, which may be a single insulating film layer or a stack of a plurality of insulating film layers.
For example, the touch display panel may further include various signal lines disposed on the substrate 10, including data lines, gate scan signal lines, light emission control signal lines, first power supply lines, second power supply lines, and the like, so as to provide various signals such as data signals, gate scan signals, light emission control signals, first power supply voltages, second power supply voltages, and the like to the pixel driving circuit in each sub-pixel. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the scanning lines GL and the data lines DL are schematically shown. The scan line GL and the data line DL may be electrically connected to each pixel unit P.
With reference to fig. 1 to fig. 3, the touch display panel according to the embodiment of the disclosure has a display area AA and a peripheral area NA surrounding the display area AA. The peripheral area NA includes a first frame area NA1, a second frame area NA2, a third frame area NA3 and a fourth frame area NA4, for example, the first frame area NA1, the second frame area NA2, the third frame area NA3 and the fourth frame area NA4 may be regarded as a lower frame, an upper frame, a left frame and a right frame of the touch display panel, respectively.
The touch display panel according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has a display area and a peripheral area, as viewed from the front of the touch display panel. The display area of the touch display panel is arranged with light emitting pixels and can display an image. A peripheral area is surrounded around the display area. Typically, the display area has a border area around it when viewed from the front. However, some touch display panels are desirable from the viewpoint of aesthetics to have a narrower frame area. Therefore, in applications such as full-screen mobile phones, the display area may not be provided with a frame area on the left, right, and upper sides. However, the touch display panel still needs to have at least one frame area for intensively accommodating the difficult-to-bend but necessary circuits, and the frame area is usually located below the display area. For example, even in current full-screen cell phone applications, there is still a lower bezel area under the cell phone where no image is displayed. It should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front" and "rear" are used herein only to describe relative positions between components and not absolute positions. In the present disclosure, the lower frame is only for convenience of describing the relative position, but does not mean that it is necessarily located below the display screen. In addition, although the conventional touch display panel is rectangular and the lower bezel region is a rectangular area on one of its four sides, touch display panels of other outer contour shapes may have any shape of bezel region in which circuits are collectively accommodated. Any bezel in the touch display panel with concentrated circuit routing can be considered a lower bezel and is specified to be below when it is described in this disclosure, with the display area correspondingly above.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, at least a portion of the first bezel area NA1 may be bent to the non-display side of the touch display panel, so that the area of the non-display area in the display side of the touch display panel may be reduced, thereby implementing a large screen and a narrow bezel design of the touch display panel. For example, the first bezel area NA1 may include a first sub-bezel area NA11, a second sub-bezel area NA12, and a bending area B, where the first sub-bezel area NA11 is located on a side of the second sub-bezel area NA12 close to the display area AA, and the bending area B is disposed between the first sub-bezel area NA11 and the second sub-bezel area NA 12. The bending region B may be bent along the bending axis BX, so that the second sub-frame region NA12 may be bent to the non-display side of the touch display panel. For example, the second sub-frame area NA12 may be provided with a driving chip (IC) and a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) for controlling display and touch of the display area AA.
Referring to fig. 2 and 4 in combination, the touch display panel may include a substrate 10, a driving circuit layer 40, an encapsulation layer 20, and a touch layer 30. The driving circuit layer 40, the encapsulation layer 20 and the touch layer 30 are disposed in a direction sequentially away from the substrate base 10.
For example, the touch layer 30 may include an FMLOC film layer. With the development of technology, the market has made higher and higher demands for the thinning of display devices (e.g. mobile phones), and Flexible Multi-Layer On Cell (FMLOC) technology has come to work. In the FMLOC process, a metal grid electrode layer is manufactured on a packaging layer of the display module to achieve a touch function, and a plug-in touch structure is not needed, so that the overall thickness of the display screen can be reduced.
With combined reference to fig. 2, 5 and 6, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch layer 30 may include a first touch layer 31, a second touch layer 32 and a touch insulating layer 33 disposed between the first touch layer 31 and the second touch layer 32. For example, in the display area AA, the touch display panel may include a first touch electrode TX and a second touch electrode RX, for example, the first touch electrode TX may be a touch driving electrode TX, and the second touch electrode RX may be a touch sensing electrode RX. The plurality of first touch electrodes TX may be arranged in a first direction X, and the plurality of second touch electrodes RX may be arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction. In some embodiments, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. For example, as illustrated in fig. 2, the first direction may be a width direction of the touch display panel, and the second direction may be a length direction of the touch display panel.
The plurality of first touch electrodes TX located in the same row may be electrically connected through the second connection portion 52, and the plurality of second touch electrodes RX located in the same column may be electrically connected through the first connection portion 51.
As an example, in the examples of fig. 2 and 5, the first touch electrode TX and the second touch electrode RX are diamond-shaped, and the first connection portion 51 and the second connection portion 52 are rectangular. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art should understand that in other embodiments, the shapes of the first and second touch electrodes TX and RX and the shapes of the first and second connection parts 51 and 52 may be other shapes.

An orthogonal projection of the second connection portion 52 on the substrate base at least partially overlaps an orthogonal projection of at least one pair of first vias 331 in the touch insulating layer 33 on the substrate base, so that the second connection portion 52 can be electrically connected with the first touch electrodes TX through the first vias 331 overlapping therewith, thereby achieving electrical connection between the adjacent first touch electrodes TX.

The spacer layer is made of an insulating material.
As used herein, the term "same layer" refers to a relationship between layers formed simultaneously in the same step. In one example, when first sub-layer SL1 and second planarization layer PLN2 are formed as a result of one or more steps of the same patterning process performed in a material deposited in the same deposition process, they are in the same layer. In another example, the first sub-layer SL1 in the same layer as the second planarization layer PLN2 may be formed in the same layer by simultaneously performing the step of forming the first sub-layer SL1 and the step of forming the second planarization layer PLN 2. The term "same layer" does not always mean that the thickness of a layer or the height of a layer is the same in a cross-sectional view.

Referring to fig. 15E, in at least a portion of the second peripheral sub-region, the plurality of sub-layers of the stacked structure includes a sixth sub-layer SL6, which is in the same layer as the second planarization layer PLN 2; a seventh sub-layer SL7 located on a side of the sixth sub-layer SL6 away from the substrate base plate 10, the seventh sub-layer SL7 being in the same layer as the anode material layer AML; an eighth sublayer SL8 located on the side of the seventh sublayer SL7 remote from the sixth sublayer SL6, the eighth sublayer SL8 being in the same layer as the pixel defining layer PDL; a ninth sublayer SL9, located on the side of the eighth sublayer SL8 remote from the seventh sublayer SL7, the ninth sublayer SL9 being in the same layer as the spacer layer.
Referring to fig. 15A and 15E, in some embodiments, the display panel further includes a fourth barrier dam BAL 4. The fourth barrier dam BAL4 is in the peripheral area NA. The fourth barrier BAL4 forms an enclosure around a second area that surrounds the first area. In some embodiments, in at least a portion of the second peripheral sub-region PSA2, the fourth barrier dam BAL4 includes a stacked structure including a plurality of sub-layers stacked together. Referring to fig. 15E, in one example, the plurality of sub-layers of the stacked structure includes a tenth sub-layer SL10 on the substrate base plate 10, the tenth sub-layer SL10 being in the same layer as the first signal line layer SD 1; an eleventh sublayer SL11 located on the side of the tenth sublayer SL10 away from the substrate base plate 10, the eleventh sublayer SL11 being in the same layer as the first planarizing layer PLN 1; a twelfth sublayer SL12 on a side of the eleventh sublayer SL11 remote from the tenth sublayer SL10, the twelfth sublayer SL12 being in the same layer as the second signal line layer SD 2; a thirteenth sublayer SL13 on the side of the twelfth sublayer SL12 remote from the eleventh sublayer SL11, the thirteenth sublayer SL13 being in the same layer as the second planarizing layer PLN 2; a fourteenth sublayer SL14 located on a side of the thirteenth sublayer SL13 remote from the twelfth sublayer SL12, the fourteenth sublayer SL14 being in the same layer as the anode material layer AML; a fifteenth sublayer SL15 located on a side of the fourteenth sublayer SL14 remote from the thirteenth sublayer SL13, the fifteenth sublayer SL15 being in the same layer as the pixel defining layer PDL; a sixteenth sublayer SL16 on the side of the fifteenth sublayer SL15 away from the fourteenth sublayer SL14, the sixteenth sublayer SL16 being in the same layer as the spacer layer.

In some embodiments, in the first peripheral sub-area, the third barrier dam BAL3 includes a stacked structure including a plurality of sub-layers stacked together. Referring to fig. 15F, in the first peripheral sub-region, the plurality of sub-layers of the stack structure includes a first sub-layer SL1, which is in the same layer as the second planarization layer PLN 2; a third sublayer SL3 on a side of the first sublayer SL1 remote from the substrate base plate 10, the third sublayer SL3 being in the same layer as the pixel defining layer PDL; a fourth sub-layer SL4, which is located on the side of the third sub-layer SL3 remote from the first sub-layer SL1, the fourth sub-layer SL4 being in the same layer as the spacer layer. Comparing the third barrier dam BAL3 in the first peripheral sub-region (fig. 15F) and in the second peripheral sub-region PSA2 (fig. 15E), the second sub-layer SL2 (in the same layer as the anode material layer AML) and the fifth sub-layer SL5 (in the same layer as the cathode material layer CML) are substantially absent in the third barrier dam BAL3 in the first peripheral sub-region (e.g., at least 80% absent, at least 85% absent, at least 90% absent, at least 95% absent, at least 99% absent, or 100% absent). Further, first signal line layer SD1 and second signal line layer SD2 are substantially absent in the first peripheral sub-region (e.g., at least 80% absent, at least 85% absent, at least 90% absent, at least 95% absent, at least 99% absent, or 100% absent).
In some embodiments, the first barrier dam BAL1 surrounding the first region includes a stacked structure including a plurality of sub-layers stacked together. Referring to fig. 15F, in the first peripheral sub-region, the plurality of sub-layers of the stack structure includes a sixth sub-layer SL6, which is in the same layer as the second planarization layer PLN 2; an eighth sublayer SL8 located on the side of the sixth sublayer SL6 remote from the substrate base plate 10, the eighth sublayer SL8 being in the same layer as the pixel defining layer PDL; a ninth sublayer SL9, located on the side of the eighth sublayer SL8 remote from the sixth sublayer SL6, the ninth sublayer SL9 being in the same layer as the spacer layer. Comparing the first barrier dam BAL1 in the first peripheral sub-region (fig. 15F) and in the second peripheral sub-region PSA2 (fig. 15E), the seventh sub-layer SL7 (in the same layer as the anode material layer AML) is substantially absent in the first barrier dam BAL1 in the first peripheral sub-region (e.g., at least 80% absent, at least 85% absent, at least 90% absent, at least 95% absent, at least 99% absent, or 100% absent). Further, first signal line layer SD1 and second signal line layer SD2 are substantially absent in the first peripheral sub-region (e.g., at least 80% absent, at least 85% absent, at least 90% absent, at least 95% absent, at least 99% absent, or 100% absent).
Referring to fig. 15A and 15F, in some embodiments, the display substrate further includes a fourth barrier dam BAL 4. The fourth barrier dam BAL4 is in the peripheral area NA. The fourth barrier BAL4 forms an enclosure around a second area that surrounds the first area. In some embodiments, in the first peripheral sub-region, the fourth barrier dam BAL4 includes a stacked structure including a plurality of sub-layers stacked together. Referring to fig. 15F, in the first peripheral sub-region, the plurality of sub-layers of the stack structure includes an eleventh sub-layer SL11 in the same layer as the first planarization layer PLN 1; a thirteenth sublayer SL13 on the side of the eleventh sublayer SL11 facing away from the substrate 10, the thirteenth sublayer SL13 being in the same layer as the second planarizing layer PLN 2; a fifteenth sublayer SL15 on a side of the thirteenth sublayer SL13 remote from the eleventh sublayer SL11, the fifteenth sublayer SL15 being in the same layer as the pixel defining layer PDL; a sixteenth sublayer SL16 on the side of the fifteenth sublayer SL15 away from the thirteenth sublayer SL13, the sixteenth sublayer SL16 being in the same layer as the spacer layer. Comparing the fourth barrier dams BAL4 in the first peripheral sub-region (fig. 15F) and the second peripheral sub-region PSA2 (fig. 15E), the tenth sub-layer SL10 in the same layer as the first signal line layer SD1 is substantially absent in the fourth barrier dams BAL4 in the first peripheral sub-region; a twelfth sub-layer SL12 in the same layer as the second signal line layer SD 2; and a fourteenth sublayer SL14 in the same layer as the anode material layer AML (e.g., at least 80% absent, at least 85% absent, at least 90% absent, at least 95% absent, at least 99% absent, or 100% absent). Further, first signal line layer SD1 and second signal line layer SD2 are substantially absent in the first peripheral sub-region (e.g., at least 80% absent, at least 85% absent, at least 90% absent, at least 95% absent, at least 99% absent, or 100% absent).
In some embodiments, the organic encapsulant sub-layer is substantially (e.g., at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100%) contained in the second sub-region. By including the organic encapsulant sub-layer in the second sub-region, the display substrate may maintain relatively excellent water and oxygen resistance even if a small degree of cracking occurs in the second inorganic encapsulant sub-layer. This is because there is no organic encapsulating material sub-layer in the region having the crack (e.g., between the first barrier layer and the fourth barrier layer), and water/oxygen does not readily penetrate into the display substrate where there is no organic material.
By combining the third barrier layer with the second barrier layer, the flow of the organic encapsulant ink during printing can be stably controlled. In particular, a more planar sub-layer of organic encapsulation material may be formed uniformly in the peripheral region. By having a flatter organic encapsulating material sub-layer, the slope of the edges of the organic encapsulating material sub-layer in the peripheral region may be greatly reduced. The touch electrode layer formed near the edges of the organic encapsulation material sub-layer can be more reliably manufactured, thereby avoiding open-circuit or short-circuit problems in the touch electrode layer, especially when the touch electrode is made of grid lines.
In some embodiments, the organic encapsulating material sub-layer is substantially absent in the first sub-region SA1 (e.g., at least 80% absent, at least 85% absent, at least 90% absent, at least 95% absent, at least 99% absent, or 100% absent), at least partially present in the second sub-region SA2, and present throughout the display region AA.
Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the touch display panel taken along a line FF' in fig. 2, schematically illustrating a cross-sectional structure of the touch display panel extending from the display area to the peripheral area, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. With reference to fig. 2 and fig. 8, in the peripheral area (e.g., the first bezel area), the touch display panel includes a touch trace 60, and the touch trace 60 is electrically connected to the touch electrode and extends from the display area AA to the first sub-bezel area NA 11. For example, the touch trace 60 is disposed on a side of the package layer 20 away from the substrate 10. The touch trace 60 may be located in at least one of the first touch layer 31 and the second touch layer 32. For example, the touch trace 60 can be located in the second touch layer 32.
In the peripheral region (e.g., the first bezel region), the touch display panel further includes a touch lead 70, and the touch lead 70 extends from the first sub-bezel region NA11 to the second sub-bezel region NA 12. For example, the touch lead 70 may be located in the fourth conductive layer 44.
One end of the touch trace 60 is electrically connected to the touch electrode (the first touch electrode and/or the second touch electrode) located in the display area, and the other end of the touch trace 60 is electrically connected to the touch lead 70. One end of the touch lead 70 is electrically connected to the touch trace 60, and the other end of the touch lead 70 is electrically connected to a driving chip (IC) for controlling display and touch in the display area AA, a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), and the like. In this way, touch control signals on a driver chip (IC) and a flexible circuit board (FPC) can be transmitted to the respective touch electrodes.
As illustrated in fig. 8, the touch display panel may include a contact groove 80. The other end of the touch trace 60 is electrically connected to the touch lead 70 through the contact groove 80.
It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the expression "contact groove" is not limited to the form of a groove, and the form of a contact groove may include, but is not limited to, the form of a groove, a via, and the like. The contact groove is mainly used for contacting two components positioned on different conductive layers so as to realize electric connection between the two components.
Referring to fig. 8, in the peripheral region (e.g., the first frame region), the touch display panel includes a first supporting structure 91 and a second supporting structure 92. The first support structures 91 may be located in the first planarization layer PLN1 and the second support structures 92 may be located in the second planarization layer PLN 2.
The first support structure 91 may include a first surface 911 remote from the substrate base plate 10 and a second surface 912 close to the substrate base plate 10. The second surface 912 is planar, i.e., the second surface 912 is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate base plate 10.
At least a portion of the first surface 911 is beveled. Specifically, the first surface 911 includes a first portion 913 and a second portion 914, and the second portion 914 is closer to the display area AA than the first portion 913. The second portion 914 is planar, i.e., the second portion 914 is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate base plate 10. The first portion 913 is a slope, that is, the first portion 913 is not parallel to the upper surface of the substrate 10 and has a certain inclination angle with respect to the upper surface of the substrate 10.
The first portion 913 of the first surface 911 has a first end 9131 proximate to the display area and a second end 9132 distal from the display area. The second end 9132 is lower in height than the first end 9131, that is, the second end 9132 is closer to the upper surface of the substrate base 10 than the first end 9131 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate base 10.
For example, the first planarizing layer PLN1 can have a thickness between 1-10 microns, e.g., about 1.5 microns, 2 microns, 3 microns, 5 microns, 8 microns, 10 microns. The thickness of the region where the second portion 914 of the first support structure 91 is located is substantially equal to the height of the first planarizing layer PLN1, i.e., the thickness of the region where the first portion 913 of the first support structure 91 is located may be between 1-10 microns, for example, about 1.5 microns, 2 microns, 3 microns, 5 microns, 8 microns, 10 microns. The thickness of first support structure 91 at first end 9131 is substantially equal to the thickness of the area where second portion 914 of first support structure 91 is located. The thickness of the first support structure 91 at the second end 9132 is less than the thickness of the first support structure 91 at the first end 9131. In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the first support structure 91 at the second end 9132 is less than 1 micron, e.g., less than 0.5 microns, or may be substantially equal to 0. That is, the height difference between the second end 9132 and the first end 9131 can be between 0.5-10 microns.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the slope of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 (i.e., the angle of inclination of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 with respect to horizontal) α is less than a prescribed slope threshold. The slope α of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 is related to the height difference between the second end 9132 and the first end 9131 and the width of the orthographic projection of the first portion 913 on the substrate base. For example, tan α is H/L, where H is a height difference between the second end 9132 and the first end 9131, and L is a width of an orthogonal projection of the first portion 913 on the substrate base. In fig. 8, a direction pointing from the display area AA to the second sub-frame area NA12 may be defined as a first direction X, and a dimension of the orthographic projection of the first portion 913 on the substrate along the first direction X is a width thereof.
For example, in some examples, L can be between 10-50 microns, such as about 10 microns, about 20 microns, 25 microns, 30 microns, 40 microns, 50 microns. For example, L may be about 20 microns and H may be about 8 microns, in which case tan α is 0.4 and the slope α of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 is about 21.8 °.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the prescribed gradient threshold value is associated with multiple factors, for example, a width of a lower frame of the display panel that needs to be reduced, a CVD forming process, and the like, and with respect to these factors, it will be described in further detail below.
The second support structure 92 is formed on a side of the first support structure 91 remote from the substrate base plate 10. The orthographic projection of the second support structure 92 on the substrate base plate 10 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the first support structure 91 on the substrate base plate 10, e.g. the orthographic projection of the second support structure 92 on the substrate base plate 10 substantially falls within the orthographic projection of the first support structure 91 on the substrate base plate 10. With combined reference to fig. 8, the orthographic projection of the second support structure 92 on the substrate base plate 10 substantially falls within the orthographic projection of the second portion 914 on the substrate base plate 10. That is, the second support structure 92 is formed substantially on the plane of the first support structure 91, not on the inclined plane of the first support structure 91.
At least a portion of the touch lead 70 is located on the inclined surface of the first supporting structure 91, i.e., at least a portion of the touch lead 70 is also obliquely disposed. For example, the touch lead 70 may include a first touch lead portion 701, a second touch lead portion 702, and a third touch lead portion 703. The second touch lead portion 702 is located between the first touch lead portion 701 and the third touch lead portion 703. It should be understood that the touch lead 70 is described as being divided into 3 parts for convenience of description, but the first touch lead part 701, the second touch lead part 702, and the third touch lead part 703 may be continuously extended, i.e., the three parts are connected as a whole. The first touch lead part 701 is closer to the display area AA than the third touch lead part 703.
An orthographic projection of the first touch lead portion 701 on the substrate base 10 at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the first support structure 91 on the substrate base 10, for example, the orthographic projection of the first touch lead portion 701 on the substrate base 10 substantially falls within the orthographic projection of the first support structure 91 on the substrate base 10. With combined reference to fig. 8, an orthographic projection of the first touch lead portion 701 on the substrate base 10 substantially falls within an orthographic projection of the second portion 914 on the substrate base 10. That is, the first touch lead portion 701 is formed substantially on the plane of the first support structure 91, not on the inclined plane of the first support structure 91. The first touch lead portion 701 is sandwiched between the first portion 913 of the first support structure 91 and the second support structure 92. The first touch lead portion 701 is located on the planar portion of the first support structure 91, so that the first touch lead portion 701 extends substantially parallel with respect to the upper surface of the substrate base 10.
An orthographic projection of the second touch lead portion 702 on the substrate base 10 at least partially overlaps with an orthographic projection of the first support structure 91 on the substrate base 10, for example, the orthographic projection of the second touch lead portion 702 on the substrate base 10 substantially falls within the orthographic projection of the first support structure 91 on the substrate base 10. With combined reference to fig. 8, the orthographic projection of the second touch lead portion 702 on the substrate base 10 substantially falls within the orthographic projection of the first portion 913 on the substrate base 10. That is, the second touch lead portion 702 is substantially formed on the inclined surface of the first support structure 91. In this way, the second touch lead portion 702 is disposed along the inclined portion (i.e., the first portion 913) of the first support structure 91, i.e., obliquely with respect to the upper surface of the base substrate 10.
The touch display panel may further include a third support structure 93, and the third support structure 93 may also be located on the second planarization layer PLN 2. I.e. the second support structure 92 and the third support structure 93 are located at the same layer. The third supporting structure 93 is spaced apart from the second supporting structure 92, and the third supporting structure 93 is located on a side of the second supporting structure 92 away from the display area AA. The contact groove 80 is formed between the third support structure 93 and the second support structure 92.
The orthographic projection of the third touch lead portion 703 on the substrate base 10 is not substantially overlapped with the orthographic projection of the first support structure 91 on the substrate base 10, and the orthographic projection of the third touch lead portion 703 on the substrate base 10 is at least partially overlapped with the orthographic projection of the third support structure 93 on the substrate base 10. The third touch lead portion 703 extends substantially parallel with respect to the upper surface of the base substrate 10.
Referring to fig. 8, the touch lead 70 has an upper surface away from the substrate base 10, corresponding to a first touch lead portion 701, a second touch lead portion 702, and a third touch lead portion 703, the first touch lead portion 701 has a first lead surface 7011 away from the substrate base 10, the second touch lead portion 702 has a second lead surface 7021 away from the substrate base 10, and the third touch lead portion 703 has a third lead surface 7031 away from the substrate base 10.
The second lead surface 7021 extends obliquely with respect to the upper surface of the base substrate 10. The second lead surface 7021 is substantially parallel to the first portion 913 of the first surface 911. The first lead surface 7011 and the third lead surface 7031 are substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate base 10.
In particular, the second lead surface 7021 can have a first end 7022 proximate the display region and a second end 7023 distal the display region. The second end 7023 is lower in height than the first end 7022, i.e., the second end 7023 is closer to the upper surface of the substrate base 10 than the first end 7022 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate base 10.
For example, the touch lead 70 has substantially the same thickness throughout its extended length. Thus, the slope of the second lead surface 7021 is substantially equal to the slope of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911. A difference in height between the second end 7023 and the first end 7022 of the second lead surface 7021 is substantially equal to a difference in height between the second end 9132 and the first end 9131 of the first portion 913. That is, the height difference between the second end 7023 and the first end 7022 of the second lead surface 7021 can also be between 0.5 and 10 microns.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 is formed as the bottom of the contact groove 80, and thus, the bottom of the contact groove 80 also extends obliquely with respect to the upper surface of the base substrate 10. The slope of the bottom of the contact groove 80 is substantially equal to the slope of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911. The side of the second support structure 92 away from the display area AA and the side of the third support structure 93 near the display area AA may form at least a portion of two opposite sides of the contact groove 80, respectively.
With continued reference to fig. 8, in the peripheral region (e.g., the first frame region), the touch display panel further includes a first covering structure 94 and a second covering structure 95. The first cover structure 94 may include a portion located in at least one of the first encapsulation sublayer 201 and the third encapsulation sublayer 203. The second cover structure 95 may include a portion in the touch insulating layer 33. That is, at least one of the first and third encapsulation sublayers 201 and 203 may extend from the display area AA to the first sub-bezel area NA11, and a portion of the at least one of the first and third encapsulation sublayers 201 and 203 that extends to the first sub-bezel area NA11 forms the first cover structure 94. The touch insulating layer 33 may extend from the display area AA to the first sub-frame area NA11, and a portion of the touch insulating layer 33 extending to the first sub-frame area NA11 forms the second covering structure 95.
Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the touch display panel taken along a line FF' in fig. 2, schematically illustrating a cross-sectional structure of the touch display panel during a process of forming an encapsulation layer and a touch layer, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. With combined reference to fig. 5, 8, and 9, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the inorganic layers in the encapsulation layer, i.e., the first encapsulation sublayer 201 and the third encapsulation sublayer 203, are formed by a chemical vapor deposition process. In the chemical vapor deposition process, a portion of the inorganic material is formed on the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70, as shown in block II of fig. 9. Since the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 has an inclined structure, and the film forming property of the cvd process on the inclined structure is poor, the thickness of the inorganic material formed on the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 is thin. That is, in the chemical vapor deposition process, the thickness of the inorganic material formed on the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 may be much smaller than the thickness of the inorganic material formed on the planar structure. After the chemical vapor deposition process, the touch insulating layer 23 is patterned through a photolithography process. In the photolithography process, a portion of the touch insulating layer 23 formed in the contact groove 80 needs to be removed by an etching process. In this etching process, a certain degree of over-etching may be generally performed, and since the thickness of the inorganic material formed on the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 is thin, the inorganic material formed on the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 may be easily removed by the etching process. In this way, the touch trace 60 and the touch lead 70 formed in the subsequent process are favorably in complete contact in the contact groove 80, that is, the contact area of the touch trace 60 and the touch lead 70 in the contact groove 80 is favorably increased, and the contact performance of the touch trace 60 and the touch lead 70 is improved.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, by designing the slope α, the thickness of the inorganic material formed on the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 can be controlled, so as to be beneficial to improving the contact performance between the touch trace 60 and the touch lead 70.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first covering structure 94 has a first portion 941, an orthographic projection of the first portion 941 on the substrate base plate 10 is substantially coincident with an orthographic projection of the second supporting structure 92 on the substrate base plate 10, as shown in fig. 8, the first portion 941 has an upper surface 9411 far away from the substrate base plate 10, and the upper surface 9411 is a slope. That is, the first portion 941 of the first cover structure 94 formed by the chemical vapor deposition process has an inclined upper surface. For example, the upper surface 9411 of the first portion 941 has a first end 9412 near the display area and a second end 9413 away from the display area. A second end 9413 of an upper surface 9411 of the first portion 941 is lower than a first end 9412 in height, that is, the second end 9413 is closer to the upper surface of the substrate base plate 10 than the first end 9412 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate base plate 10.
Accordingly, the second cover structure 95 has a first portion 951, an orthographic projection of the first portion 951 on the substrate base plate 10 substantially coincides with an orthographic projection of the second support structure 92 on the substrate base plate 10, as shown in fig. 8, the first portion 951 having an upper surface 9511 distal from the substrate base plate 10, the upper surface 9511 being a sloped surface. For example, an upper surface 9511 of the first portion 951 has a first end 9512 proximate the display area and a second end 9513 distal from the display area. A second end 9513 of an upper surface 9511 of the first part 951 is lower in height than the first end 9512, i.e., the second end 9513 is closer to the upper surface of the substrate base plate 10 than the first end 9512 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate base plate 10.
With continued reference to fig. 8, the second support structure 92, the first cover structure 94 and the second cover structure 95 respectively have sides far away from the display area AA, and the sides of the second support structure 92, the first cover structure 94 and the second cover structure 95 respectively form a portion of the side surface of the contact groove 60 near the display area AA. The orthographic projections of the lateral faces of the second support structure 92, the first cover structure 94 and the second cover structure 95 on the substrate base plate 10 all fall within the orthographic projection of the second portion 914 of the first surface 911 on the substrate base plate 10. That is, the second support structure 92, the first cover structure 94 and the second cover structure 95 terminate substantially at a planar position of the first support structure 91, or, stated otherwise, at a starting position of the slope of the first support structure 91.
The touch trace 60 is located on a side of the second covering structure 95 away from the substrate 10. The touch trace 60 includes a first touch trace portion 601 located in the contact groove 80, and the touch trace 60 further includes a third touch trace portion 602, where the third touch trace portion 602 is located on a side of the first touch trace portion 601 close to the display area AA.
An orthographic projection of the first touch trace portion 601 on the substrate 10 is at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the second touch lead portion 702 on the substrate 10, for example, the orthographic projection of the first touch trace portion 601 on the substrate 10 is substantially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the second touch lead portion 702 on the substrate 10.
The first touch trace portion 601 directly contacts the second touch lead portion 702 in the contact groove 80. In the embodiment of the disclosure, a dimension of a contact portion of the first touch trace portion 601 and the second touch lead portion 702 along an extending direction thereof is substantially equal to a dimension of the first portion 913 along the extending direction thereof. And the size of the contact portion between the first touch trace portion 601 and the second touch lead portion 702 along the first direction X is substantially equal to the size of the orthographic projection of the first portion 913 on the substrate base (i.e. the above L). That is to say, since there is no insulating material such as inorganic material left in the contact groove 80, the first touch trace portion 601 and the second touch lead portion 702 are in full contact in the contact groove 80, so that a larger contact area between the first touch trace portion 601 and the second touch lead portion 702 can be ensured, and the contact performance therebetween can be improved.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second lead surface 7021 of the touch lead 70 is formed as the bottom of the contact groove 80 such that the bottom of the contact groove 80 extends obliquely with respect to the upper surface of the base substrate 10. In this way, the first touch trace portion 601 of the touch trace 60 also extends obliquely with respect to the upper surface of the base substrate 10.
Fig. 10 schematically shows a schematic diagram comparing the oblique extension and the horizontal extension of the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead. Referring to fig. 10, in a case that the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead extends horizontally, a width of the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead along an extending direction (i.e., a horizontal direction) thereof may be denoted as L1; under the condition that the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead extends obliquely, an oblique angle (i.e., a slope) of the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead is denoted as α, and a width of the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead along an extending direction (i.e., an oblique direction) thereof may be denoted as L2.
Under the condition that the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead extends horizontally, the width of the border area occupied by the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead is L1. Under the condition that the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead extends obliquely, the width of the frame area occupied by the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead is L2 × cos α. For example, when the slope α is about 21.8 °, cos α is about equal to 0.93. If the width of the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead along the extending direction of the touch trace is kept unchanged, that is, the contact area of the touch trace with the touch lead is kept unchanged, that is, L2 is L1, the width of the frame area occupied by the contact portion can be 0.93, that is, the frame width can be reduced by about 7%. Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the width of the frame region can be effectively reduced by the inclined arrangement, which is beneficial to realizing a display device with a narrow frame.
Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a touch display panel according to other exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, taken along line FF' in fig. 2, schematically illustrating a cross-sectional structure of the touch display panel extending from a display area to a peripheral area. It should be noted that, differences of the embodiment shown in fig. 11 with respect to the above embodiment will be mainly described below, and the same points may refer to the above description, which is not repeated herein.
Referring collectively to fig. 2, 8 and 11, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first support structure 91 is not limited to being located in the first planarization layer PLN 1.
For example, the first support structure 91 may include a structure located in at least one other film layer than the first planarization layer PLN 1.
For example, the first support structure 91 may include a structure located in a plurality of film layers, wherein a portion of the first support structure 91 may be located in the first planarization layer PLN1 and another portion of the first support structure 91 may be located in at least one other film layer than the first planarization layer PLN 1.
For example, the first support structure 91 may be formed through the same patterning process as a film layer located in the display area AA, or the first support structure 91 may be formed through a different patterning process from a film layer located in the display area AA, i.e., the first support structure 91 may be separately formed.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 11, the first support structure 91 may include a first surface 911 remote from the substrate base plate 10 and a second surface 912 proximate to the substrate base plate 10. The second surface 912 is planar, i.e., the second surface 912 is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the base substrate 10.
At least a portion of the first surface 911 is beveled. Specifically, the first surface 911 includes a first portion 913 and a second portion 914, and the second portion 914 is closer to the display area AA than the first portion 913. The second portion 914 is planar, i.e., the second portion 914 is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate base plate 10. The first portion 913 is a slope, that is, the first portion 913 is not parallel to the upper surface of the substrate 10 and has a certain inclination angle with respect to the upper surface of the substrate 10.
The first portion 913 of the first surface 911 has a first end 9131 proximate the display area and a second end 9132 distal from the display area. The second end 9132 is lower in height than the first end 9131, that is, the second end 9132 is closer to the upper surface of the substrate base 10 than the first end 9131 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate base 10.
For example, the thickness of the second portion 914 of the first support structure 91 can be between 1 micron and 50 microns, such as about 1.5 microns, 2 microns, 3 microns, 5 microns, 8 microns, 10 microns, 15 microns, 20 microns, 30 microns, 40 microns, 50 microns. The thickness of the first portion 913 at the first end 9131 is substantially equal to the thickness of the second portion 914. The thickness of the first portion 913 at the second end 9132 is less than the thickness of the first portion 913 at the first end 9131. In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the first portion 913 at the second end 9132 is less than 1 micron, e.g., less than 0.5 microns, or may be substantially equal to 0. That is, the height difference between the second end 9132 and the first end 9131 can be between 0.5 and 50 micrometers.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the slope of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 (i.e., the angle of inclination of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 with respect to horizontal) α is less than a prescribed slope threshold. The slope α of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 is related to the height difference between the second end 9132 and the first end 9131 and the width of the orthographic projection of the first portion 913 on the substrate base. For example, tan α is H/L, where H is a height difference between the second end 9132 and the first end 9131, and L is a width of an orthogonal projection of the first portion 913 on the substrate base.
For example, in some examples, L can be between 10-50 microns, such as about 10 microns, about 20 microns, 25 microns, 30 microns, 40 microns, 50 microns. For example, L may be about 30 microns and H may be about 15 microns, in which case tan α is 0.5 and the slope α of the first portion 913 of the first surface 911 is about 26.6 °. For example, when the slope α is about 26.6 °, if the width of the contact portion of the touch trace with the touch lead along the extending direction thereof is kept constant, that is, the contact area of the touch trace with the touch lead is kept constant, that is, L2 is L1, the width of the bezel area occupied by the contact portion can be 0.89, that is, the bezel width can be reduced by about 11%.
By the mode, the gradients of the touch routing and the touch lead wire positioned in the contact groove can be further increased, so that the width of the frame of the touch display panel can be reduced more favorably.
Fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view of a touch display panel according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, taken along a line FF' in fig. 2, schematically illustrating a cross-sectional structure of the touch display panel extending from a display region to a first sub-bezel region, a bending region, and a second sub-bezel region. It is to be noted that, hereinafter, differences with respect to the above-described embodiment will be mainly described, and other portions may refer to the description of the above-described embodiment.
With reference to fig. 2, fig. 8 and fig. 16, in the peripheral area (for example, the first bezel area), the touch display panel includes a touch trace 60, and the touch trace 60 is electrically connected to the touch electrode and extends from the display area AA to the first sub-bezel area NA 11. For example, the touch trace 60 is disposed on a side of the package layer 20 away from the substrate 10. The touch trace 60 may be located in at least one of the first touch layer 31 and the second touch layer 32. For example, the touch trace 60 can be located in the second touch layer 32.
In the peripheral region (e.g., the first bezel region), the touch display panel further includes a touch lead 70, and the touch lead 70 extends from the first sub-bezel region NA11 to the second sub-bezel region NA 12. For example, the touch lead 70 may be located in the fourth conductive layer 44. Referring to fig. 16, the touch lead 70 may extend from the first sub-bezel area NA11 to the second sub-bezel area NA12 through the bending area B.
As shown in fig. 16, the touch display panel may include a contact groove 80. The other end of the touch trace 60 is electrically connected to the touch lead 70 through the contact groove 80. For example, the contact groove 80 may be located in the first sub-bezel area NA11, and more particularly, the contact groove 80 may be located between the blocking dam and the bending area B described above.
In this embodiment, in the contact groove 80, the touch trace 60 is in contact with one end of the touch lead 70, so as to achieve the electrical connection between the touch trace 60 and the touch lead 70.
The touch display panel may include a contact groove 800. For example, the contact groove 800 may be located in the second sub-bezel area NA12, i.e., on a side of the bending area B away from the display area AA.
The touch display panel includes another touch trace 600. For example, the other touch trace 600 can be located at the same layer as the touch trace 60. That is, the other touch trace 600 may be located in at least one of the first touch layer 31 and the second touch layer 32. For example, another touch trace 600 can be located in the second touch layer 32.
In the contact groove 800, the other end of the touch lead 70 contacts another touch trace 600, so as to achieve electrical connection between the touch lead 70 and the another touch trace 600.
In this way, the touch-control wires in the touch-control layer are changed to the touch-control lead wires in the fourth conductive layer in the bending area B, so that the touch-control lead wires are prevented from being broken when the bending area B is bent; then, after passing through the bending region B, the touch lead in the fourth conductive layer is replaced to another touch trace in the touch layer, which is favorable for the electrical connection between the touch trace and an external circuit.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 16, the touch lead 70 in the contact groove 800 contacts another touch trace 600 in a planar manner. For example, in the contact groove 800, the contact manner of the touch lead 70 and the other touch trace 600 may refer to the contact manner in the contact groove 80, that is, at least one of the inclined plane contact manner and the side surface contact manner, and here, the above description of the embodiment of the contact groove 80 may be referred to, and is not repeated here.
Fig. 17 is a schematic diagram of a display device according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The display device 100 includes the touch display panel. For example, the display area AA and the peripheral area NA are included, and the film structures in the display area AA and the peripheral area NA may refer to the descriptions of the above embodiments, and are not described herein again.
The display means may comprise any device or product having a display function. For example, the display device may be a smart phone, a mobile phone, an e-book reader, a desktop computer (PC), a laptop PC, a netbook PC, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Portable Multimedia Player (PMP), a digital audio player, a mobile medical device, a camera, a wearable device (e.g., a head-mounted device, an electronic apparel, an electronic bracelet, an electronic necklace, an electronic accessory, an electronic tattoo, or a smart watch), a television, or the like.
It should be understood that the display device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure has all the features and advantages of the touch display panel, and particularly, refer to the above description.
Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
