Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510236341.3, filed May 11, 2015, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in the entirety.
The present invention relates to touch control display technology, particularly to a touch substrate, a touch display device having the same, and a method of manufacturing thereof.
In an out-cell touch control panel, a touch module is added onto a display module. The two modules can be manufactured separately. The in-cell touch control technology integrates the touch sensor within the display unit. The display panel does not need to be bonded with an additional touch panel so as to simplify the assembly procedure.
A conventional touch substrate is shown in FIG. 1, which is integrated with an array substrate, e.g., in a liquid crystal display panel. The touch substrate as shown in FIG. 1 includes a common electrode 2, some of which also serve as touch electrodes 1. These common/touch electrodes can be used for conducting touch signals in touch control mode, or for applying common voltage in display mode. The touch substrate can include some common electrodes that do not serve as touch electrodes. In a mutual capacitive touch control device, the touch electrode 1 can be a touch scanning electrode (Tx) , whereas the touch sensing electrode (Rx) can be disposed on the color filter substrate. In a self-capacitive touch control device, the touch electrode 1 can achieve touch control function alone.
The touch electrode 1 can be connected to a drive chip via a touch signal line 11. The touch signal line 11 connected to a touch electrode 1 in the center of the touch substrate overlaps with other touch electrodes 1 located peripherally on the touch substrate. This results in induction with the overlapping touch electrodes and crosstalk between touch electrodes 1. The touch control and display quality may be affected.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
The disclosure will now describe more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the A-A’ direction of the touch substrate in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 2, the touch substrate of the embodiment includes a first touch electrode 1, a second touch signal line 12, and a first shield electrode 4 positioned between the first touch electrode 1 and the second touch signal line 12. The first touch electrode 1 is connected to a first touch signal line, and the second touch signal line 12 is connected to a second touch electrode. As shown in FIG. 2, the second touch signal line 12 is not connected to the first touch electrode 1. The second touch signal line 12 has a first portion which overlaps with the first touch electrode 1 in plan view of the touch substrate. The first shield electrode 4 is configured to electrically shield the first touch electrode 1 from the overlapping second touch signal line 12.
The touch substrate in the embodiment can be an independent touch sensor, or a substrate integrated within the display module. The touch substrate can be a self-capacitive type touch substrate or a mutual capacitive type touch substrate. The self-capacitive type touch substrate has a construction in which a plurality of independent patterns are formed in the touch area. In the self-capacitive type touch panel, the touched positions are detected by measuring change of capacitances of the independent patterns. The mutual capacitive type
touch substrate has a matrix construction in which first electrode patterns (e.g., touch scanning electrodes) arranged in an x-axis direction cross over second electrode patterns (e.g., touch sensing electrodes) arranged in a y-axis directed. In the mutual capacitive type touch panel, the touched positions are detected by measuring changes of capacitances appeared to sensing nodes through the touch sensing electrodes after supplying a scanning voltage to the touch scanning electrodes. The sensing nodes are cross points of the touch scanning and sensing electrodes.
The first touch electrode 1 can be a touch electrode in a self-capacitive type touch substrate, or a touch electrode in a mutual capacitive type touch substrate (e.g., a touch scanning electrode) . The touch substrate can have a plurality of shield electrode 4 disposed and configured to electrically shield some or all touch electrodes, e.g., touch scanning electrodes, from the overlapping touch signal lines. Optionally, the touch substrate includes a common electrode layer having a common electrode 2 and the first touch electrode 1. Optionally, the common electrode 2 and the first touch electrode 1 are operated in a time-division driving mode. For example, the first touch electrode 1 can be used for conducting touch signals in touch control mode, or for applying common voltage in display mode. Optionally, the first touch electrode 1 is only operated in touch control mode. Optionally, at least some common electrodes are only operated in display mode, and not in a time-division driving mode.
The shield electrode can be made of, e.g., a conductive material such as a metal, indium tin oxide (ITO) , indium zinc oxide (IZO) , indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) . Optionally, the shield electrode receives a ground voltage, e.g., connected to the groundvoltage terminal of the touch substrate. Optionally, the shield electrode can be connected to the overlapping touch electrode, e.g., through a via.
Referring to FIG. 2, the touch substrate in the embodiment includes a substrate 9. The touch signal line 12, the pixel electrode 3, the common/ touch electrode 1, 2 are sequentially arranged on the substrate 9 along a direction away from the substrate 9. The shield electrode 4 is disposed spaced apart from the pixel electrode 3 and on a same layer. As used herein, the term “same layer” refers to the relationship between the layers simultaneously formed in the same step. In one example, two electrodes are one the same layer when the two electrodes are formed as a result of one or more steps of a same patterning process performed on a same layer of material. In another example, the shield electrode 4 and the pixel electrode 3 can be formed in the same layer by simultaneously performing the step of forming the shield electrode 4 and the step of forming the pixel electrode 3. The term
“same layer” does not always mean that the thickness of the layer or the height of the layer in a cross-sectional view is the same. Optionally, the shield electrode 4 and the pixel electrode 3 are not disposed on a same layer. The steps may be performed using a patterning process. For example, a photoresist may be formed on an interlayer insulation layer and a mask having a predetermined pattern may be placed on the photoresist layer, followed by UV exposure, development, baking and etching, thereby forming a layer having the shield electrodes 4 and the pixel electrodes 3.
Optionally, the touch substrate includes a substrate 9, a pixel electrode layer having a pixel electrode 3 and a shield electrode 4. The second touch signal line 12, the pixel electrode 3, the touch electrode 1 are sequentially arranged on the substrate along a direction away from the substrate, and the shield electrode 4 is disposed spaced apart from the pixel electrode 3.
Referring to FIG. 2, the touch electrode 1 in the embodiment includes a plurality of sub-pixels. Optionally, the shield electrode 4 is disposed between neighboring sub-pixels. In some embodiments, the touch electrode 1 is not operated in a time-division driving mode, but is only operated in touch control mode. In some embodiments, the touch electrode 1 is a common/ touch electrode 1, 2 as shown in FIG. 2, operated in a time-division driving mode. Optionally, the touch substrate includes a common electrode layer having the common electrode 2 and the first touch electrode 1. Optionally, the touch electrode 1 and the common electrode 2 are operated in a time-division driving mode. When a common electrode 2 or a common/ touch electrode 1, 2 is used, the electrode can optionally be a slit electrode. The touch substrate may further include various insulating layers between various conductive layers.
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a touch substrate according to one embodiment. Referring to FIG. 3, the touch substrate in the embodiment comprises a plurality of touch electrodes 1 and a plurality of touch signal lines 11.

As shown in FIG. 3, the touch signal line 11 connected to a touch electrode 1 at the peripheral edge of the touch substrate does not go through any other touch electrodes 1 therefore does not overlap with any other touch electrodes 1. However, the touch signal line 11 connected to a touch electrode 1 in the center of the touch substrate goes through the touch electrodes 1 located peripherally in the touch substrate therefore overlaps with the peripheral touch electrodes 1. Depending on the number of peripheral touch electrodes 1 a touch signal line 11 has to go through, the touch signal line 11 may have one or more portions, each of which overlapping
with one of the plurality of peripheral touch electrodes 1 not connected to the overlapping touch signal line 11. Thus, a touch signal line 11 may have one or more overlapping portions between the touch signal line 11 and one or more touch electrodes 1 not connected to the overlapping touch signal line 11. The touch substrate in the embodiment have a plurality of overlapping portions between the plurality of touch electrodes 1 and the plurality of touch signal lines 11.
Referring to FIG. 3, the touch substrate in the embodiment includes a plurality of shield electrodes 4 positioned at the plurality of overlapping portions between the plurality of touch electrodes 1 and the plurality of touch signal lines 11. The shield electrodes 4 are configured to electrically shield the plurality of touch electrodes 1 from the overlapping plurality of touch signal lines 11. As used herein, an “overlapping portion” of a touch signal line 11 refers to a portion of a touch signal line 11 over which the touch signal line 11 overlaps with a touch electrode 1 which is not connected to the overlapping touch signal line. Accordingly, an “overlapping portion” as used herein does not refer to the portion of a touch signal line 11 over which the touch signal line 11 overlaps with a touch electrode 1 connected thereto. However, a shield electrode is not limited to the overlapping portions, but optionally can be disposed in a non-overlapping portion, e.g., a portion over which the touch signal line 11 overlaps with a touch electrode 1 connected to the overlapping touch signal line 11. As used herein, a shield electrode disposed in an overlapping portion is also referred to as a main shield electrode, and a shield electrode disposed in a non-overlapping portion is referred to as an ancillary shield electrode.
Based on the above, the touch substrate optionally can further include one or more ancillary shield electrodes disposed at a position which is not an overlapping portion, i.e., a non-overlapping portion.

The touch substrate in the embodiment has a plurality of shield positions evenly distributed over the touch substrate. The shield position can be either a position occupied by a main shield electrode or a position occupied by an ancillary shield electrode. In some embodiments, not every position corresponding to an overlapping portion is occupied by a shield electrode 4. In some embodiments, not every position corresponding to a non-overlapping portion is occupied by an ancillary shield electrode. Optionally, every position corresponding to an overlapping portion is occupied by a shield electrode 4. Optionally, every position corresponding to a non-overlapping portion is occupied by an ancillary shield electrode. Optionally, the touch substrate has a plurality of shield positions evenly distributed over the touch substrate, even
