Furthermore, the common electrode may have serrations on its edges. Preferably, the material of the plurality of common electrodes is a metal oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or graphene.

FIG. 1d illustrates an example of a display control circuit and a touch control circuit of a touch display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. In this example, the touch display device can be connected to the host through a flexible circuit board. As shown in FIG. 1d, the display control circuit and the touch control circuit are two independent wafers, and the display control circuit is connected to the data line and the row control line of the liquid crystal display portion of the touch display device through wires, and the touch control circuit passes The wire is connected to the touch sensing electrode (common electrode) of the touch sensing portion, and the display/touch switching module inside the touch control circuit is made in the display stage a plurality of common electrodes connected to a common level provided to the display control circuit; each of the plurality of common electrodes being respectively connected to the touch control circuit as a touch sensing during a touch sensing phase electrode.

FIG. 1e illustrates another example of a display touch control circuit of a touch display device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. In this example, the touch display device can be connected to the host through a flexible circuit board. As shown in FIG. 1e, the display touch control circuit is a single chip, and the display touch control circuit is connected to the data line and the row control line of the liquid crystal display portion and the touch sensing electrode (common electrode) of the touch sensing portion, and is displayed by touch a display/touch switching module inside the control circuit such that in the display phase, the plurality of common electrodes are connected to a common level provided to the display control circuit; in the touch sensing phase, among the plurality of common electrodes Each is connected to the touch control circuit as a touch sensing electrode, respectively.

In the display phase, the common electrode is part of the display module of the display touch screen, driven by a common level (Vcom), and an electric field of different liquid crystal materials across different regions of the screen is formed with different primitive units, thereby controlling each The light throughput of the primitive unit.

Preferably, the primitive unit comprises a primitive transistor and a primitive electrode. For a color display module, each primitive unit generally includes three sub-element units corresponding to red, green, and blue, and each sub-element unit includes one primitive transistor and one primitive electrode.

Preferably, the primitive transistor is a thin film transistor (TFT).

In the touch sensing phase, the common electrode is covered as a touch sensor An electrode that senses the touch on the screen. The capacitance of the common electrode changes when the touch screen is touched.

Preferably, the touch location is determined by detecting the self capacitance of each common electrode. As an example, the self-capacitance of the common electrode can be its capacitance to ground.

In the prior art display touch screen, the touch sensing electrode is independent of the display module, and the display touch screen is a superposition of the touch screen and the display screen. According to the solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the common electrode is coated as a touch sensing electrode, and at least one touch sensing electrode layer is reduced compared with the prior art, thereby reducing the thickness and weight of the display touch screen and reducing the extra touch. The optical loss caused by the sensing electrode layer can save material and manufacturing costs. In addition, the solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure also reduces electrical interference between the touch sensing electrodes and the display module in the prior art.

Further, in the prior art display touch screen, the touch sensing electrodes are composed of row electrodes and column electrodes, and the noise on each row or column is superimposed. For example, if multiple fingers are placed in the same row or column, the power noise detected by each finger will be superimposed on the same row or column. The more fingers there are, the larger the noise is superimposed. In the display touch screen provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the touch sensing electrodes (ie, the common electrodes in the touch sensing stage) are arranged in a two-dimensional array, and each electrode is only one unit in the array, and the units do not interfere with each other. . Each row or column includes different matrix elements and does not cause a superposition of noise. Therefore, the touch display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure significantly reduces the amplitude of the maximum noise and improves the signal to noise ratio.

Preferably, the touch control circuit is configured to detect each public power Extreme self-capacitance. As an example, the self-capacitance of the common electrode may be the capacitance to ground of the common electrode.

For each common electrode, the touch control circuit can drive the peripheral or remaining common electrodes according to a signal driving the current common electrode while driving the common electrode. In addition, the touch control circuit may further drive the data line according to a signal driving the current common electrode while driving the common electrode. This can reduce the voltage difference between the detected electrode and the non-detection electrode, and is advantageous for reducing the capacitance of the detected electrode and preventing false touches formed by water droplets.

Optionally, the touch control circuit includes a signal driving/receiving unit for driving each common electrode and receiving sensing data from each common electrode, and a signal processing unit for determining a touch position according to the sensing data. Specifically, the signal driving/receiving unit may be configured to drive, for each common electrode, a peripheral or remaining common electrode according to a signal driving the current common electrode while driving the common electrode. Furthermore, the signal driving/receiving unit may be further configured to, for each common electrode, drive the data line according to a signal driving the current common electrode while driving the common electrode.

Preferably, the touch control circuit is configured to determine a touch location based on a two-dimensional array of capacitance changes.

In addition, the common electrodes can be driven simultaneously or in groups. That is, all or part of the common electrodes are detected together.

In the prior art, since the touch sensing electrode is composed of a row electrode and a column electrode, a scanning method of one line after another is adopted, and the touch of each frame is used. The detection time is very long. This disadvantage is particularly detrimental to in-cell touch screens. In order to reduce the interaction between the display screen and the touch screen, the touch screen stops working when the screen is working; when the touch screen is working, the display screen stops working. For example, an In-Cell screen operating at 60 Hz (ie, 16.7 ms per frame) typically requires a display scan time of 10-12 ms, leaving a scan time for touch detection that is short, so the existing In-Cell screen signal noise is relatively low. . In the touch display device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, each electrode is connected to the touch detection chip. By parallel scanning, in theory, only the time of one line is detected by the prior art, and the original signal to noise ratio can be achieved. . For example, a 16-row, 28-column In-Cell touch screen assumes that the detection time per line is T, and the scan time required for the existing structure is 16T. With the structure provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shortest touch detection time per frame is only 1T.

The display touch control circuit can be configured to perform a first step of looping, the first step comprising: the display control circuit scanning a frame, and then the touch control circuit scanning one frame. That is, one frame of display scanning is performed first, and then one frame of touch detection scanning is performed, and thus repeated.

Alternatively, the display touch control circuit is configured to perform a second step of looping, the second step comprising: the touch control circuit scanning one frame, and then the display control circuit scanning one frame. That is, one frame of touch detection scanning is performed first, and then one frame of display scanning is performed, and thus repeated.

Further, the display scan of each frame can be divided into multiple segments, and each segment performs a touch detection scan, so that the touch detection frequency reaches a multiple of the display frequency, thereby improving the frame rate of the touch detection. That is, the said Each frame scan segment of the display control circuit is performed; the touch control circuit performs a frame scan before, during, and after each frame scan of the display control circuit.

The common electrode layer is placed on the same side of the thin film transistor layer with respect to the liquid crystal layer. Optionally, the touch display device further includes a second polarizing layer, a first polarizing layer, and a protective layer (COVER LENS). As an example, the touch display device has an IPS structure. The touch display device in this embodiment may also have an FFS structure.

As an example, FIG. 2b also shows a flexible circuit board (FPC) 24, a display touch control circuit 29, and a host. In this example, the touch display device can be connected to the host through a flexible circuit board. Preferably, the material of the common electrode is a metal oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or graphene.

The shape of the common electrode may be square, rectangular, elongated, diamond or any other polygon, or may be triangular, circular or elliptical. Furthermore, the common electrode may have serrations on its edges. The patterns of the common electrodes may be uniform or inconsistent. As an example, in Fig. 2b, the shape of each common electrode is a square (for example, 5 mm in length and width) arranged in a rectangular array.

In the present embodiment, the wires 501 to 520 that connect the common electrodes 1101-1120 to the display touch control circuit are disposed on the common electrode layer.

Preferably, the wires 501-520 are arranged on the same layer of the common electrode and are located in the black matrix (Black Matix) Just below. Arranging the wires under the black matrix avoids traces of indium tin oxide etching and possible reflection of the metal wires.

Preferably, the display touch control circuit wafer 29 of FIG. 2b is bonded to the substrate by a Chip-on-Glass (COG) method. For a screen of 5 turns, for example, assuming that each common electrode (including the corresponding trace) occupies 5 mm x 5 mm, 264 common electrodes are required, and the display touch control circuit chip 29 using a conventional package requires at least 264 pins. It can only be surface mounted on a printed circuit board, and the required flexible circuit board 24 is very wide, so the yield is low and the cost is high. By the COG method, the display touch control circuit chip 29 is directly bonded to the substrate, which can improve the yield and reduce the packaging cost, and also reduce the overall volume of the touch display device.

Optionally, the display touch control circuit chip 29 is connected to the host through the flexible circuit board 24. The host communicates with the display touch control circuit chip 29 via a flexible circuit board.

In general, the amount of capacitance change of the touch sensing electrode when the touch occurs is proportional to the area covered by the electrode, and therefore, the amount of capacitance change of each touch sensing electrode reflects the size of the covered area. As an example, a center of gravity algorithm can be employed to determine the touch location based on a two-dimensional array of capacitance changes.
