Description
本發明是有關於一種觸控顯示面板，且特別是有關於一種邊框可呈現特定影像或是特定顏色的觸控顯示面板。The present invention relates to a touch display panel, and more particularly to a touch display panel in which a frame can present a specific image or a specific color.
習知的觸控顯示裝置包括一顯示面板以及一配置於顯示面板上的觸控面板。為了保護觸控面板與顯示面板，觸控顯示裝置的最外側通常會添加一片蓋板。此外，為了傳遞顯示用的訊號以及觸控感測的訊號，觸控面板與顯示面板的周邊皆設置有佈局有多條導線，其中設置有這些導線的區域即稱為走線區。走線區中的導線若顯露於外將會影響整體裝置的外觀，所以蓋板上對應走線區所在之位置往往配置有遮光層以遮蔽這些導線。也就是說，在習知技術中，蓋板之中央區(即對應顯示面板之影像顯示區的位置)為透光設計，而蓋板之周圍區(即對應走線區的位置，也就是觸控顯示裝置的邊框)則大都呈現黑色或是不透光設計。A conventional touch display device includes a display panel and a touch panel disposed on the display panel. In order to protect the touch panel and the display panel, a cover plate is usually added to the outermost side of the touch display device. In addition, in order to transmit the signal for display and the signal for touch sensing, a plurality of wires are disposed on the periphery of the touch panel and the display panel, and an area in which the wires are disposed is referred to as a wiring area. If the wires in the wiring area are exposed, the appearance of the overall device will be affected. Therefore, the position of the corresponding routing area on the cover is often provided with a light shielding layer to shield the wires. That is to say, in the prior art, the central area of the cover (ie, the position corresponding to the image display area of the display panel) is a light transmissive design, and the surrounding area of the cover (ie, the position corresponding to the routing area, that is, the touch The frame of the control display device is mostly black or opaque.
對於使用者而言，廠商所設置之邊框的顏色並不一定能滿足使用者的需求。再者，使用者更是無法隨時依據自己的喜好變換邊框的顏色。因此，習知設計無法滿足使用者對於電子產品的多樣化與彈性化的訴求。For the user, the color of the border set by the manufacturer does not necessarily meet the needs of the user. Moreover, the user is unable to change the color of the border at any time according to his or her preference.

在本發明之一實施例中，上述之顯示面板包括一中央顯示元件以及一周邊顯示元件，中央顯示元件位於中央顯示區中而周邊顯示元件位於周邊顯示區中。舉例而言，周邊顯示元件可以為一自發光元件或是一彩色反射元件。In one embodiment of the invention, the display panel includes a central display element and a peripheral display element, the central display element being located in the central display area and the peripheral display elements being located in the peripheral display area. For example, the peripheral display element can be a self-illuminating element or a colored reflective element.
基於上述，本發明利用顯示面板來顯示觸控顯示面板的邊框圖案，藉此使得觸控顯示面板的邊框更具多樣化而滿足使用者的需求。Based on the above, the present invention utilizes a display panel to display a frame pattern of the touch display panel, thereby making the frame of the touch display panel more diverse and satisfying the needs of the user.
為讓本發明之上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂，下文特舉實施例，並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.
圖1繪示為本發明一實施例的觸控顯示面板的剖面示意圖，而圖2繪示為本發明一實施例的觸控顯示面板的上視示意圖。請同時參照圖1與圖2，觸控顯示面板100包括一顯示面板110、一覆蓋板120以及一觸控層130。顯示面板110具有一中央顯示區112以及一周邊顯示區114。覆蓋板120配置於顯示面板110上。觸控層130配置於覆蓋板120上，並且位於顯示面板110與覆蓋板120之間。觸控層130包括一感測元件132以及連接於感測元件132的一訊號傳輸線134。1 is a cross-sectional view of a touch display panel according to an embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 2 is a top view of the touch display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the touch display panel 100 includes a display panel 110 , a cover 120 , and a touch layer 130 . The display panel 110 has a central display area 112 and a peripheral display area 114. The cover plate 120 is disposed on the display panel 110. The touch layer 130 is disposed on the cover 120 and located between the display panel 110 and the cover 120. The touch layer 130 includes a sensing component 132 and a signal transmission line 134 coupled to the sensing component 132.
以本實施例而言，感測元件132對應於中央顯示區112，而訊號傳輸線134對應於周邊顯示區114，其中訊號傳輸線134的材質為透明導電材料，例如銦錫氧化物、銦鋅錫氧化物等可以用來傳輸電子訊號的透明導電材料。感測元件132則可以由多個感測串列構成、由多個感測電極條所構成，或是由單一感測電極層所構成。製作於觸控顯示面板100中的感測元件132為透明的感測元件。In this embodiment, the sensing component 132 corresponds to the central display area 112, and the signal transmission line 134 corresponds to the peripheral display area 114. The signal transmission line 134 is made of a transparent conductive material, such as indium tin oxide, indium zinc tin oxide. A transparent conductive material that can be used to transmit electronic signals. The sensing element 132 can be composed of a plurality of sensing series, composed of a plurality of sensing electrode strips, or a single sensing electrode layer. The sensing element 132 fabricated in the touch display panel 100 is a transparent sensing element.
因此，無論在中央顯示區112或是周邊顯示區114，顯示面板110所顯示的光線都可以穿過觸控層130以及覆蓋板120以進行顯示。也就是說，觸控層130為一透明觸控層，並且本實施例的觸控顯示面板100，在整個覆蓋板120所在面積中都可以顯示影像。值得一提的是，周邊顯示區114可以是呈框型，且中央顯示區112與周邊顯示區114用以顯示不同的影像。因此，周邊顯示區114所顯示的光線穿過訊號傳輸線134以及覆蓋板120後可以定義出觸控顯示面板100的邊框圖案。Therefore, whether in the central display area 112 or the peripheral display area 114, the light displayed by the display panel 110 can pass through the touch layer 130 and the cover sheet 120 for display. That is, the touch layer 130 is a transparent touch layer, and the touch display panel 100 of the embodiment can display an image in the entire area of the cover board 120. It should be noted that the peripheral display area 114 may be in a frame type, and the central display area 112 and the peripheral display area 114 are used to display different images. Therefore, the light displayed by the peripheral display area 114 passes through the signal transmission line 134 and the cover board 120 to define a border pattern of the touch display panel 100.
具體而言，觸控顯示面板100的邊框圖案是藉由周邊顯示區114所顯示出來的影像所構成，因而觸控顯示面板100的邊框圖案可以隨不同的需求加以改變。舉例而言，要顯示特定顏色的邊框，則觸控顯示面板100僅需使得顯示面板110的周邊顯示區114呈現所需的顏色。另外，要在邊框顯示特定的圖案，觸控顯示面板100僅需使得顯示面板110的周邊顯示區114顯示對應的圖案。進一步而言，要在邊框顯示文字或是特定資訊或是跑馬字幕等動態畫面，也可以藉由顯示面板110的周邊顯示區114來顯示。如此一來，觸控顯示面板100的邊框將具有多樣化的圖案以及顯示特定資訊的功能。Specifically, the frame pattern of the touch display panel 100 is formed by the image displayed by the peripheral display area 114. Therefore, the frame pattern of the touch display panel 100 can be changed according to different requirements. For example, to display a border of a specific color, the touch display panel 100 only needs to cause the peripheral display area 114 of the display panel 110 to exhibit a desired color. In addition, in order to display a specific pattern on the bezel, the touch display panel 100 only needs to cause the peripheral display area 114 of the display panel 110 to display a corresponding pattern. Further, the display of the text or the specific information or the dynamic picture such as the horse-drawn subtitles on the frame may also be displayed by the peripheral display area 114 of the display panel 110. As a result, the frame of the touch display panel 100 will have a variety of patterns and a function of displaying specific information.
在本實施例中，根據所使用的顯示技術，顯示面板110可以為一液晶顯示面板、一有機電激發光顯示面板、一電漿顯示面板、一電子紙顯示面板、一電濕潤顯示面板、一電泳顯示面板或複合式顯示面板。顯示面板110實質上包括一中央顯示元件110A以及一周邊顯示元件110B，其中中央顯示元件110A位於中央顯示區112中而周邊顯示元件110B位於周邊顯示區114中。中央顯示元件110A以及周邊顯示元件110B可以是由相同的構件所構成或是由不同的構件所構成。舉例而言，中央顯示元件110A為液晶顯示單元時，周邊顯示元件110B也可以是液晶顯示單元。不過，周邊顯示元件110B也可選擇非液晶顯示單元的其他顯示元件。相似地，中央顯示元件110A為電濕潤顯示單元時，周邊顯示元件110B可選擇性地為電濕潤顯示單元或其他顯示單元。In this embodiment, according to the display technology used, the display panel 110 can be a liquid crystal display panel, an organic electroluminescent display panel, a plasma display panel, an electronic paper display panel, an electrowetting display panel, and a Electrophoretic display panel or composite display panel. Display panel 110 essentially includes a central display element 110A and a peripheral display element 110B, wherein central display element 110A is located in central display area 112 and peripheral display element 110B is located in peripheral display area 114. The central display element 110A and the peripheral display element 110B may be composed of the same member or of different members. For example, when the central display element 110A is a liquid crystal display unit, the peripheral display element 110B may also be a liquid crystal display unit. However, the peripheral display element 110B can also select other display elements that are not liquid crystal display units. Similarly, when the central display element 110A is an electrowetting display unit, the peripheral display element 110B can alternatively be an electrowetting display unit or other display unit.
在一實施例中，中央顯示元件110A可以是採用任何顯示技術的顯示元件。並且，中央顯示元件110A用以顯示觸控顯示面板100所要呈現給使用者的影像，例如文字資訊、圖片、動畫等。因此，中央顯示元件110A可以視為任何顯示面板的顯示單元。另一方面，周邊顯示元件110B用以顯示邊框圖案。當使用者希望邊框具有固定顏色或是固定的圖案時，周邊顯示元件110B可以用來顯示固定影像。也就是說，周邊顯示元件110B可以持續地顯示一種影像或是固定地呈現一種顏色。此時，周邊顯示元件110B可以由有機發光二極體陣列等自發光元件或是彩色反射元件所構成。當使用者希望邊框顯示的影像為可即時更新的動態影像，例如動畫、文字訊息...時，周邊顯示元件110B可以採用任何顯示面板的顯示單元來構成。In an embodiment, central display element 110A can be a display element that employs any display technology. Moreover, the central display component 110A is configured to display images to be displayed to the user by the touch display panel 100, such as text information, pictures, animations, and the like. Therefore, the central display element 110A can be regarded as a display unit of any display panel. On the other hand, the peripheral display element 110B is used to display a bezel pattern. The peripheral display element 110B can be used to display a fixed image when the user desires the bezel to have a fixed color or a fixed pattern. That is, the peripheral display element 110B can continuously display an image or a fixed color. At this time, the peripheral display element 110B may be composed of a self-luminous element such as an organic light-emitting diode array or a color reflective element. When the user desires that the image displayed by the frame is a dynamic image that can be updated in real time, such as an animation, a text message, the peripheral display element 110B can be configured by using any display unit of the display panel.
除此之外，由於使用者對於觸控顯示面板100的邊框所呈現影像的要求不高，周邊顯示區114所呈現的影像解析度可以小於中央顯示區114所呈現的影像解析度。甚至，周邊顯示區114可僅有顯示亮態影像與暗態影像的功能，而不需用以顯示不同的灰階。In addition, since the user's requirement for the image displayed by the frame of the touch display panel 100 is not high, the image resolution of the peripheral display area 114 may be smaller than the image resolution of the central display area 114. In addition, the peripheral display area 114 can only display the functions of the bright image and the dark image without being used to display different gray levels.
綜上所述，本發明在觸控顯示面板的覆蓋板上所設置的元件為透明的，並且利用顯示面板來顯示觸控顯示面板的邊框圖案。所以，觸控顯示面板的邊框並非單調地僅為黑色邊框，而有助於提高觸控顯示面板在外觀上的多樣性。同時，本發明的設計有助於滿足使用者對於電子產品的多樣化與彈性化的訴求。In summary, the components provided on the cover panel of the touch display panel are transparent, and the display panel is used to display the border pattern of the touch display panel. Therefore, the border of the touch display panel is not monotonously only a black border, which helps to improve the appearance of the touch display panel. At the same time, the design of the present invention helps to satisfy the user's desire for diversification and flexibility of electronic products.
雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上，然其並非用以限定本發明，任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者，在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內，當可作些許之更動與潤飾，故本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and any one of ordinary skill in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
