Abstract
Disclosed is a touch screen display device having a reduced manufacturing cost. The touch screen display device includes a touch recognition display panel, an RF signal generator, and a touch position detector. The touch recognition display panel includes a first substrate having a first base substrate and a pixel electrode formed on the first base substrate, a second substrate having a touch recognition pattern formed on the second base substrate and the second base substrate, and two substrates. It includes a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. The RF signal generator generates a radio frequency (RF) signal and transmits it to the touch recognition pattern. The touch position detector receives an RF signal from the touch recognition pattern, detects a change in the RF signal due to an external touch event, and detects a touch position where the touch event is generated. As such, since a touch recognition pattern capable of sensing a touch position by an RF signal is embedded in the second substrate, the touch screen display device of the present invention may omit a separate touch panel, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and thickness. .
Description
The present invention relates to a touch screen display device, and more particularly, to a touch screen display device capable of displaying an image to the outside while detecting a location where a touch event occurs.
The touch screen panel is a device capable of detecting a touch position where an external touch event occurs. The touch screen panel is generally not used alone, but is used together with a display panel capable of displaying an image to configure a touch screen display device. In detail, the touch screen panel may be disposed on the display panel to detect a touch position where a touch event occurs, and control the display panel or another application device by using the detected touch position.
However, as the touch screen display device further includes the touch screen panel separately from the display panel, a manufacturing cost may increase and a thickness may increase.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a touch screen display device capable of reducing manufacturing costs while detecting a touch position and displaying an image.
A touch screen display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a touch recognition display panel, an RF signal generator, and a touch position detector.
The touch recognition display panel may include a first substrate having a first base substrate and pixel electrodes formed on the first base substrate, a second substrate having a second base substrate and a touch recognition pattern formed on the second base substrate, and And a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The RF signal generator generates a radio frequency (RF) signal and transmits the generated radio frequency signal to the touch recognition pattern. The touch position detector receives the RF signal from the touch recognition pattern, detects a change in the RF signal due to an external touch event, and detects a touch position where the touch event is generated. The touch recognition pattern may be formed on one surface of the first base substrate facing the first substrate, and may be made of a transparent conductive material.
The touch recognition pattern may include an RF signal applying pattern and an RF signal receiving pattern. The RF signal application pattern is electrically connected to the RF signal generator to receive the RF signal. The RF signal receiving pattern may be spaced apart from the RF signal applying pattern to be electrically connected to the touch position detecting unit, and may receive the RF signal from the RF signal applying pattern and transmit the RF signal to the touch position detecting unit.
The RF signal receiving pattern may include a receiving pattern body portion extending in the Y-axis direction, and a plurality of receiving pattern branch portions extending in parallel in the X-axis direction from the receiving pattern body portion. The RF signal application pattern may be disposed on the opposite side of the reception pattern body portion in the X-axis direction and extend along the Y-axis direction, and from the application pattern body portion in the X-axis direction. It may include a plurality of applied pattern branches extending and disposed between the receiving pattern branches. In this case, each of the branch portions of the application pattern may be narrower as it moves away from the application pattern body portion.
The touch position detector may include a Y-axis coordinate detector and an X-axis coordinate detector. The Y-axis coordinate detector detects the voltage change of the RF signal applied from the RF signal receiving pattern to detect the Y-axis coordinate of the touch position. The X-axis coordinate detector detects a current change according to a change in electrostatic coupling between the applied pattern branch and the receiving pattern branch to detect the X-axis coordinate of the touch position. In this case, the Y-axis coordinate detector may include first and second Y-axis coordinate detectors electrically connected to both ends of the reception pattern body to the Y axis, respectively.
The second substrate may further include a color filter formed on the touch recognition pattern to face the first substrate, and a common electrode formed on the color filter.
Alternatively, the second substrate may further include a pattern protection layer formed on the touch recognition pattern to face the first substrate to protect the touch recognition pattern, and a common electrode formed on the pattern protection layer. . In this case, the first substrate may further include a color filter formed under the pixel electrode.
The pixel electrode may include a first electrode part to which a first voltage is applied, and a second electrode part to be spaced apart from the first electrode part and to be applied with a second voltage different from the first voltage. The first and second electrode portions may be patterned from the same transparent metal layer. Alternatively, the first substrate may further include an insulating layer interposed between the first and second electrode portions to insulate each other.
The first base substrate may have a flexible property and may include, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In this case, the touch recognition display panel may further include a spacing part disposed between the first and second substrates to maintain a cell gap between the first and second substrates.
The touch recognition pattern may be formed on one surface of the first base substrate facing the first substrate, and may be made of a transparent conductive material.
According to the present invention, as the touch recognition pattern for detecting the touch position by the RF signal is embedded in the second substrate, the touch screen display device is manufactured by preventing the separate touch screen panel from being provided as in the prior art. In addition to reducing costs, the thickness can also be reduced.
