在研究中，本申请的发明人发现：目前，液晶显示行业通过在液晶显示装置的模组中添加金属框可以实现压力的检测，即提供垂直于显示屏幕所在平面的方向的检测，从而实现三维触控检测，但是，在柔性器件中很难采用固定不变的金属板作为参考面。
本公开的实施例提供一种触控面板及其压力触控检测方法、触控装置。该触控面板包括触控基板、介电层以及导电层。触控基板包括触控电极层，触控电极层被配置为检测触控位置；导电层与触控基板相对设置，导电层被配置为与触控电极层形成电容；介电层位于触控电极层与导电层之间，介电层包括流体介电层和固体介电层，流体介电层的介电常数大于固体介电层的介电常数，流体介电层中的流体被配置为在触控压力的作用下发生流动以通过改变介电层的介电常数来使触控位置以及触控位置的周边区域中触控电极层与导电层之间的电容发生变化，电容的变化用于确定触控压力。该触控面板中包括的流体介电层可以应用于柔性触控面板中以检测使用者的按压力度， 从而能够根据按压力度响应相应的操作以提高触控面板的人机交互功能、类别以及方式。
下面结合附图对本公开实施例提供的触控面板及其压力触控检测方法、触控装置进行描述。
图1A为本公开一实施例提供的一种触控面板的局部结构示意图。如图1A所示，触控面板10包括触控基板100、介电层200以及导电层300。触控基板100包括触控电极层110，触控电极层110包括二维触控电极阵列，该二维触控电极阵列包括多个感应电极111，触控电极层110被配置为检测触控位置，即检测使用者对触控面板10进行触控操作的位置；导电层300与触控基板100相对设置，且导电层300被配置为与触控电极层110形成电容；介电层200位于触控电极层110与导电层300之间，介电层200包括流体介电层210和固体介电层220，流体介电层210的介电常数大于固体介电层220的介电常数，即，导电层300与触控电极层110形成了平板式电容器，导电层300和触控电极层110分别为平板式电容器的两个极板，流体介电层210和固体介电层220为位于两个极板之间的介质。流体介电层210中的流体被配置为在触控压力的作用下发生流动以通过改变介电层200的介电常数来使触控位置以及触控位置的周边区域中触控电极层110与导电层300之间的电容发生变化，电容的变化用于确定触控压力。
例如，上面的实施例以触控电极层包括二维触控电极阵列为例进行了描述。由于触控电极包括二维排布的电极阵列，因此，可以检测不同位置的电容值。然而，根据本公开的实施例不限于此，导电层300也可以包括二维阵列排布的多个子电极。
例如，流体介电层210被进一步配置为：在触控压力的作用下，流体介电层210中的在触控位置的流体向周边区域流动，以使触控位置处的介电层200的介电常数(指介电层中包括的所有膜层的混合的介电常数)相较于触控发生之前变小，进而使触控电极层110与导电层300之间的电容变小，在周边区域的介电层200的介电常数相较于触控发生之前变大，以使触控电极层110与导电层300之间的电容变大，因此，该触控面板10可以根据电容的变化来确定触控压力。上述触控位置的周边区域指围绕触控位置的区域，该周边区域由触控电极层与导电层之间的电容相较于触控发生之前变大的条件 来限定，即由触控位置指向周边区域的方向，触控电极层与导电层之间的电容(相较于触控发生之前)包括变小-变大-不变(触控位置-周边区域-周边区域以外的区域)这三个区域，周边区域为电容变大对应的区域。
例如，本公开一实施例中，流体介电层210为微观上可以流动的液体介电层。这里的液体介电层的制作方法可采用在两个膜层(或柔性基板)之间注入液体，然后对两个膜层进行封装的方式制作，本实施例对此不作限制。
例如，本实施例提供的触控面板10为柔性触控面板，固体介电层220为柔性膜层，且柔性膜层与液体介电层210的表面接触，即，固体介电层220与液体介电层210之间不存在空气(或存在的空气可以忽略不计)。
例如，固体介电层220为柔性层。
例如，如图1A所示，触控面板10可以受触控压力的作用向Z方向的箭头所指的方向弯曲。需要说明的是，触控面板10为柔性触控面板指：至少流体介电层210与触控电极层110之间的膜层均为柔性膜层。
本公开的实施例以固体介电层220位于流体介电层210面向触控电极层110的一侧为例进行描述，但不限于此，固体介电层220也可以位于流体介电层210远离触控电极层110的一侧。
一方面，相对于在触控电极层与导电层之间填充空气的情况，本实施例提供的触控面板采用了在触控电极层与导电层之间填充液体介电层的方式，无需专门制作排气阀，从而节省了工艺；另一方面，液体介电层的介电常数大于固体介电层的介电常数，因此包括液体介电层的触控面板具有更好的检测性能。例如，液体介电层以及固体介电层的介电常数，是指液体介电层的材料和固体介电层的材料的介电常数。此外，由于液体介电层为液体膜层，液体膜层更适合柔性触控面板，并且可以利用流体力学来完成三维触控检测。本实施例提供的触控面板包括的液体介电层可以应用于柔性触控面板中以实现三维触控检测，从而提高了触控面板的人机交互功能、类别以及方式。
例如，如图1A所示，液体介电层210包括电解液，即，液体介电层210可以为电解液层。
例如，如图1A所示，电解液的溶剂201包括乙腈和/或碳酸丙烯酯，电解液的溶质202包括四氟硼酸四乙基铵等材料。
例如，如图1A所示，流体介电层210的厚度d为100μm-500μm，即， 电解液层的厚度为100μm-500μm。
例如，电解液层的厚度可以为200μm-300μm。
例如，电解液层的厚度可以为120μm-500μm。
本实施例提供的电解液层具有适当的厚度可以吸收施加到触控面板的压力，并且对施加的压力具有较好检测效果。
例如，如图1A所示，导电层300为金属层。
例如，如图1A所示，沿垂直于导电层300的方向，即沿Z方向，导电层300的厚度H为100μm-300μm。
例如，本实施例的一示例中导电层300的材料为金箔，在金箔的厚度为100μm-300μm时，具有良好的柔软性，可以作为柔性触控面板对Z方向进行触控识别时的参考面。
例如，如图1A所示，本实施例提供的触控电极层110可以包括自容触控电极，也可以包括互容触控电极。
例如，二维触控阵列中的触控电极为自容式触控电极，全部触控电极均可以作为一层感应电极，以检测其与导电层300之间的电容。
例如，二维触控阵列中的触控电极为互容式触控电极，其包括触控感应电极和触控驱动电极，触控感应电极即为用以检测触控电极层110与导电层300之间的电容的一层电极，且该电容为形成于触控感应电极与导电层之间的电容。
例如，如图1A所示，在导电层300远离流体介电层210的一侧还包括衬底基板500。
例如，图1B为本公开一实施例提供的触控面板的局部结构示意图，如图1B所示，触控基板100还包括有机发光二极管120，触控面板10为有机发光二极管触控显示面板。
例如，一个触控电极对应多个像素单元，例如，18×32个触控电极对应1920×1080个像素。
例如，当触控面板10包括多个有机发光二极管120，包括有机发光二极管120的显示面板(图中未示出)可以为聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)-有机发光二极管(OLED)-聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)-偏光板(POL)，即，本实施例中的触控面板为聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯-有机发光二极管-聚对 苯二甲酸乙二醇酯-偏光板-流体介电层-导电层-聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯的堆叠结构。
本实施例以发光二极管位于触控电极层远离流体介电层的一侧为例进行描述，但不限于此，发光二极管也可以位于触控电极层与流体介电层之间，只要不影响压力触控的检测即可。
本公开实施例提供的触控面板可以为触控显示面板，例如为柔性有机发光二极管触控显示面板，本实施例通过设置流体介电层，可以更好的实现柔性有机发光二极管触控显示面板的压力触控的检测，进而实现三维触控检测。
图2为本公开另一实施例提供的触控装置的示意框图，如图2所示，本公开实施例提供的触控装置20包括上述任一实施例提供的触控面板10，本实施例提供的触控装置20包括流体介电层，从而可以更好的实现三维触控检测。
例如，触控装置20可以为触控显示装置，例如为液晶触控显示装置或者有机发光二极管触控显示装置等触控显示装置以及包括该触控显示装置的电视、数码相机、手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、导航仪等任何具有触控显示功能的产品或者部件，本实施例不限于此。
图3A为本公开的一实施例提供的触控面板的压力触控检测方法的示意性流程图，如图3A所示，压力触控检测方法具体包括如下步骤。
S201：检测触控位置以及触控位置处和周边区域中的触控电极层与导电层之间的电容，其中，在触控发生时，流体介电层中的流体在触控压力的作用下发生流动以通过改变介电层的介电常数来使触控位置以及周边区域中触控电极层与导电层之间的电容发生变化。
S202：根据触控位置以及周边区域中触控电极层与导电层之间的电容的变化，确定触控位置处的触控压力。
例如，检测触控位置处和周边区域中的触控电极层与导电层之间的电容包括：检测触控位置处的触控电极层与导电层之间的电容为第一电容，第一电容相较于触控发生之前变小，其电容变化量为第一电容变化量；检测周边区域的触控电极层与导电层之间的电容为第二电容，第二电容相较于触控发生之前变大，其电容变化量为第二电容变化量。
例如，根据电容的变化，确定触控位置处的触控压力包括：将第二电容 变化量与第一电容作比值以得到电容比，根据电容比，确定触控位置处的触控压力。
例如，通过触控电极层包括的二维触控电极阵列检测使用者对触控装置进行触控操作时的触控位置。
例如，图3B为本公开一实施例提供的触控面板在被施加压力时的形变示意图，其中的固体介电层220与流体介电层210的表面直接接触，且流体介电层210为一层液体介电层。
为了方便示意，图3B将触控电极层简单的示意为一层膜层。图3C为对图3B所示的流体介电层的触控情况的模拟示意图，即图3C为流体介电层的远离导电层的一侧表面的触控情况模拟示意图。本实施例中的触控面板为柔性触控面板。图3B仅是示意性的示出触控位置和触控位置的周边区域。
例如，如图3B和图3C所示，当触控面板10被施加触控压力30(触控压力30的方向为Z方向的箭头所指的方向)时，触控位置101处的触控电极层110等膜层向Z方向的箭头所指的方向弯曲。
例如，在触控位置101处，触控电极层110以及固体介电层220向面向流体介电层210的一侧弯曲，从而使流体介电层210受到施加到触控面板10上的触控压力30的作用，发生流体分布的改变，即，在触控位置101处，流体介电层210的厚度变薄，也就是流体介电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面向靠近导电层300的一侧(Z方向的箭头所指的方向)凹陷；触控位置的周边区域102，流体介电层210的厚度变厚，也就是流体介电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面向远离导电层300的一侧(Z方向的箭头所指的方向的反方向)凸起。本实施例以触控位置101对应流体介电层210的厚度变薄的区域，触控位置的周边区域102对应流体介电层210的厚度变厚的区域为例进行描述，但实际上可能会有一些偏差，例如触控位置的周边区域对应流体介电层的厚度也有少部分相较于触控发生之前变薄，但该位置的电容变大，因此也应被划分为触控位置的周边区域。
由于流体介电层210的流体特性，触控位置101处的流体介电层210中的流体因被施加压力而向触控位置的周边区域102流动，以使位于触控位置101的流体减少，触控位置的周边区域102的流体增多。因此，位于触控位置101处的流体介电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面与触控位置的周边 区域102的流体介电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面向相反方向变化，以使施加到流体介电层210的压力达到动态平衡。
上述的“凹陷”和“凸起”是相对于流体介电层在未受到施加到触控面板10的触控压力作用时的远离导电层的一侧表面而言的，上述的表现为“凹陷”状的流体介电层的远离导电层的一侧表面被降低，表现为“凸起”状的流体介电层的远离导电层的一侧表面被升高。这里的“流体介电层在未受到施加到触控面板10的触控压力30作用时的远离导电层的一侧表面”可以为整个柔性触控面板没有被弯曲时所呈现的大致平面，也可以为柔性触控面板被弯曲时的表面，而在触控面板发生弯曲时，由于宏观上的弯曲远大于微观尺度，并且触控检测的参考基准(baseline)会随着环境的变化而不断刷新，刷新过程会将环境的变化和噪声计算在内(属于后期软件的优化)，所以触控面板发生弯曲时对流体介电层造成形变的影响可以通过优化降到最低。
例如，如图3B和图3C所示，在位于触控位置101处的流体介电层210受到施加到触控面板10的触控压力的作用而产生凹陷时，触控位置的周边区域102的流体介电层210产生一圈围绕上述凹陷的凸起，即围绕凹陷的部分呈圆弧上升的状态。
本实施例以触控位置位于触控面板的非边缘区域为例进行描述，但不限于此，触控位置也可以位于触控面板的边缘区域。当触控位置位于触控面板的边缘区域时，围绕触控位置的区域位于触控位置的靠近触控面板中心的一侧，且半围绕触控位置。
例如，如图3B所示，由于位于触控位置101处的触控电极层110受到施加到触控面板10的触控压力30的作用而向导电层300所在的一侧弯曲，因此，触控电极层110与导电层300之间的触控位置101处和触控位置的周边区域102内的电容均发生变化，即，位于触控位置101处和触控位置的周边区域102的导电层300与触控电极层100之间的电容均发生变化。
例如，检测触控电极层110与导电层300之间的电容变化量包括：触控发生之前，检测触控电极层110与导电层300之间的初始电容；触控发生之后，将检测到的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第一电容和第二电容与初始电容作差值以得到电容变化量。其中，在检测初始电容的过程中，考虑了环境的变化以及噪声。
例如，触控电极层110与导电层300之间的不同位置处的初始电容可能相同，也可能不相同。
例如，采用触控电极层110检测位于触控位置101处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第一电容C1，与触控发生之前，位于触控位置101处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第一初始电容相比，该第一电容C1变小，因此，将检测到的第一电容C1与第一初始电容作差得到第一电容变化量ΔC1。
例如，采用触控电极层110检测位于触控位置的周边区域102的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第二电容C2(或C3)，触控位置的周边区域102中的不同位置的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第二电容可能相同，也可能不相同，本实施例以图3B所示的触控位置的周边区域102中的两个位置处的两个第二电容C2和C3为例进行描述。
例如，触控发生之前，触控位置的周边区域102的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第二初始电容相比，第二电容C2(或C3)变大，将检测到的第二电容C2(或C3)与第二初始电容作差得到第二电容变化量ΔC2(或ΔC3)。由于图3B为触控面板的截面示意图，所以当触控位置101处位于触控面板的非边缘区域时，触控位置的周边区域102会位于第一区域的沿X方向的两侧。
上述的第一电容可以是触控位置处中的任一个位置处的电容，在实际电路工作中，该第一电容是由若干个电极共同探测反馈结果的综合。同理，第二电容也是由若干个电极共同探测反馈结果的综合。本公开中为了方便描述，将第一电容视为触控位置处的流体介电层的厚度最小的位置处的电容，第二电容视为触控位置的周边区域的流体介电层的厚度最大的位置处的电容。例如，在进行压力检测时，也可以通过比较触摸位置处和周边位置处各个电极对应的电容大小，选取触摸位置处的最小电容值以及周边区域的最大电容值来计算触摸压力。
例如，如图3B所示，触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电常数为位于其间的介电层中的各膜层按比例混合形成的混合介电常数。根据混合介电常数的计算公式：ε＝(d1*ε 固体介电层+d2*ε 流体介电层)/(d1+d2)，当ε 固体介电层<ε 流体介电层，d2减小，d1不变时，ε减小。因此，位于触控位置101处的流体介 电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面被降低了高度Δh1时，位于触控位置101处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的介电常数ε 1降低了Δε 1。流体介电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面被降低的高度Δh1越大(d2越小)，介电常数ε 1被降低的Δε 1越大，即Δε 1∝Δh1。
例如，当流体介电层或固体介电层各自均包括多层时，其各自的混合介电常数也可以参照上述混合介电常数的计算公式进行计算。
同理，根据混合介电常数的计算公式，在d2增大，d1不变时，ε增大，因此，位于触控位置的周边区域102的流体介电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面被升高了高度Δh2(或Δh3)时，位于触控位置的周边区域102的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的介电常数ε 2(或ε 3)升高了Δε 2(或Δε 3)。流体介电层210的远离导电层300的一侧表面被升高的高度Δh2(或Δh3)的数值越大，介电常数ε 2(或ε 3)被升高的Δε 2(或Δε 3)越大，即Δε 2(或Δε 3)∝Δh2(或Δh3)。
例如，被施加到流体介电层210的压力满足公式F＝ρ*g*(ΔV)，其中的ρ为流体介电层210的密度，ΔV既可以为流体介电层210凸起的部分的整体的体积，也可以为流体介电层210凹陷的部分的体积。
由于施加的压力F越大，触控位置的周边区域102的流体介电层210凸起的部分的体积ΔV就越大，此时，触控位置的周边区域102的流体介电层210凸起的高度Δh2(或Δh3)就越高，因此，Δh2(或Δh3)∝ΔV。根据介电常数ε 2(或ε 3)被升高的Δε 2(或Δε 3)与流体介电层210凸起的高度Δh2(或Δh3)的关系，以及流体介电层210凸起的高度Δh2(或Δh3)与流体介电层210凸起的部分的体积ΔV的关系，可以得到流体介电层210凸起的部分的体积ΔV越大，介电常数ε 2(或ε 3)被升高的Δε 2(或Δε 3)就越大，即，Δε 2(或Δε 3)∝ΔV，从而得到介电常数ε 2(或ε 3)被升高的Δε 2(或Δε 3)与被施加的压力F的关系为：Δε 2(或Δε 3)∝F。
同理，由于施加的压力F越大，位于触控位置101处的流体介电层210凹陷的部分减少的体积ΔV就越大，此时，位于触控位置101处的流体介电层210凹陷部分减少的高度Δh1就越大，因此，Δh1∝ΔV。根据介电常数ε 1被降低的Δε 1与流体介电层210凹陷部分减少的高度Δh1的关系，以及流体介电层210凹陷部分减少的高度Δh1与流体介电层210凹陷的部分减少的体 积ΔV的关系，可以得到流体介电层210凹陷的部分减少的体积ΔV越大，介电常数ε 1被降低的Δε 1就越大，即，Δε 1∝ΔV，从而得到介电常数ε 1被降低的Δε 1与被施加的压力F的关系为：Δε 1∝F。
例如，如图3B所示，在触控位置101处，由于触控电极层110受到被施加的触控压力30的作用向靠近导电层300的一侧弯曲，因此，触控电极层110与导电层300之间的距离(d1+d2)减小，即介电层的厚度(d1+d2)减小，并且，介电层的介电常数ε减小的比例大于介电层的厚度(d1+d2)减小的比例。因此，根据平板式电容器中电容的计算公式C＝K*ε/(d1+d2)(其中的K为常数)中的电容与介电常数ε以及触控电极层110与导电层300之间的距离(d1+d2)的关系可知，位于触控位置101处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第一电容C1减小，并且第一电容变化量ΔC1较小。
假设流体介电层(即为液体介电层)的介电常数为70，厚度为100微米，固体介电层的介电常数为4，厚度为1000微米。
触控位置101处流体介电层210的厚度被压缩一半，则：
触控前：ε 1＝(70*100+4*1000)/(100+1000)＝10，C1＝10K/(100+1000)＝0.00909K；
触控后：ε 1＝(70*50+4*1000)/(50+1000)＝7.143，C1＝7.143K/(50+1000)＝0.0068K。
同理，由于位于触控位置的周边区域102的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的距离增大，介电层的介电常数ε 2(或ε 3)被升高了的比例大于触控电极层110与导电层300之间的距离增大的比例，根据平板式电容器中电容的计算公式中的电容与介电常数以及介电层的厚度(导电层与触控电极层之间的距离)的关系可知，位于触控位置的周边区域102的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第二电容C2(或C3)正比于触控压力的值，因此，第二电容变化量ΔC2(或ΔC3)正比于触控压力的值。
假设液体介电层的介电常数为70，厚度为100微米，固体介电层的介电常数为4，厚度为1000微米。
触控位置的周边区域102的液体介电层210厚度被拉高四分之一，则：
触控前：ε 1＝(70*100+4*1000)/(100+1000)＝10，C2＝10K/(100+1000)＝0.00909K；
触控后：ε 1＝(70*125+4*1000)/(125+1000)＝11.33，C2＝11.33K/(125+1000)＝0.01K。
根据触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电常数与施加的力的比例关系可知，第一电容C1反比于对触控面板10施加的压力的值，第二电容C2(或C3)以及第二电容变化量ΔC2(或ΔC3)正比于对触控面板10施加的压力的值。因此，施加的触控压力30越大，位于触控位置的周边区域102的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第二电容C2(或C3)以及第二电容变化量ΔC2(或ΔC3)越大；施加的触控压力30越大，位于触控位置101处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的第一电容C1也越小。
例如，图4为本公开一实施例提供的第二电容变化量以及第二电容变化量和第一电容的电容比与施加的触控压力的关系曲线图，如图4所示，关系图中的横坐标表示触控面板被施加的触控压力，纵坐标示意出第二电容变化量的变化幅度以及电容比的变化幅度。第二电容变化量ΔC2与压力F的值成正比，即，随着施加到触控面板的触控压力的增大，位于第二区域的触控电极层与导电层之间的第二电容变化量ΔC2增大。
例如，如图4所示，由于第一电容C1与触控压力F的值成反比，第二电容变化量ΔC2与触控压力F的值成正比，因此，第二电容变化量ΔC2和第一电容C1的电容比ΔC2/C1与压力F的值成正比，即，随着施加到触控面板的压力的增大，电容比ΔC2/C1也增大。
例如，如图4所示，在触控压力的值为5g时，电容比ΔC2/C1的强度大于第二电容变化量ΔC2的3倍；在触控压力的值为10g时，电容比ΔC2/C1的强度大致为第二电容变化量ΔC2的5倍，随着触控压力的值的增加，电容比ΔC2/C1的变化相较于第二电容变化量ΔC2的变化越来越明显。
相比于第二电容变化量ΔC2与触控压力F的关系曲线，第二电容变化量ΔC2和第一电容C1作比值得到的电容比与触控压力F的关系曲线，可以增加纵坐标的幅值，即，第二电容变化量ΔC2与第一电容C1作比值得到的电容比与触控压力F的关系曲线可以更明显的看出电容比与触控压力的值呈正比的关系。
本实施例在确定触控位置处的触控压力之前还包括根据电容比与触控压力的值的正比例关系，确定触控位置处的触控压力。
例如，根据图4所示的压力与电容比的正比例关系，可以建立电容比与触控压力的值的拟合函数，或者建立电容比与触控压力的值的查找表。
例如，根据电容比与触控压力的值的正比例关系，将检测到的多个电容比由小到大依次划分为多个电容比范围，将与电容比对应的触控压力的值由小到大依次划分为多个触控压力等级，并且多个电容比范围与多个触控压力等级为一一对应的关系。
例如，多个电容比由小到大依次被划分为第一电容比范围、第二电容比范围和第三电容比范围，与电容比对应的触控压力的值由小到大依次被划分为轻点触控、轻按触控和重按触控触控等级，即，第一电容比范围中包括的电容比对应于轻点触控等级包括的触控压力的值，第二电容比范围中包括的电容比对应于轻按触控等级包括的触控压力的值，第三电容比范围中包括的电容比对应于重按触控等级包括的触控压力的值。
例如，本实施例提供的触控面板的压力触控检测方法还包括：根据电容比范围确定触控装置被施加的触控压力等级。
例如，当检测到触控电极层与导电层之间的电容比满足第一电容比范围时，可以确定触控面板被施加的触控压力为轻点触控等级，以此类推，当触控电极检测到触控电极层与导电层之间的电容比满足第二电容比范围时，可以确定触控面板被施加的触控压力为轻按触控等级；当触控电极检测到触控电极层与导电层之间的电容比满足第三电容比范围时，可以确定触控面板被施加的触控压力为重按触控等级，从而，本实施例提供的触控面板能够根据按压力度响应相应的操作以提高触控面板的人机交互功能、类别以及方式。
例如，图5A为本公开另一实施例提供的触控面板的局部结构示意图，与图3B所示的实施例不同的是，如图5A所示，本实施例中的触控面板10为柔性触控面板，固体介电层220为柔性膜层，流体介电层包括液体介电层230和空气层240，空气层240位于液体介电层230面向触控电极层110的一侧，即在触控发生前，空气层240与液体介电层230面向触控电极层110的表面接触，且空气层240的介电常数小于液体介电层230的介电常数。
例如，在触控压力30施加到触控面板10上时，在触控位置处，固体介电层220对空气层240进行挤压以使空气向触控位置的周围区域流动直至固体介电层220与液体介电层230接触。当固体介电层220与液体介电层230 接触后，固体介电层220因受到触控压力30的作用而使触控位置处的液体介电层230的表面产生凹陷，其厚度变小，即，液体介电层230中的液体向周围流动。
在发生触控前，触控位置处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间包括空气层240，而触控发生后，触控位置处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间不再包括空气层。根据混合介电常数的公式以及电容的计算公式，假设液体介电层的介电常数为70，厚度为100微米，固体介电层的介电常数为4，厚度为1000微米，空气层的介电常数为1，厚度为10微米。
触控位置101处液体介电层230厚度被压缩一半，则：
触控前：ε 1＝(70*100+4*1000+1*10)/(100+1000+10)＝9.9189，C1＝9.9189K/(100+1000+10)＝0.00894K；
触控后：ε 1＝(70*50+4*1000)/(50+1000)＝7.143，C1＝7.143K/(50+1000)＝0.0068K。
由此，在触控位置处，液体介电层230的厚度变薄以使触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的介电常数以及厚度均变小，并且，介电常数变小的比例大于触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的厚度变小的比例，从而使第一电容相较于触控发生之前变小。
同理，位于触控位置的周边区域的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的液体介电层230的厚度相较于触控发生之前变厚，固体介电层220的厚度不变，因此，触控电极层110与导电层300之间的距离增大。根据混合介电常数的公式以及电容的计算公式，假设液体介电层的介电常数为70，厚度为100微米，固体介电层的介电常数为4，厚度为1000微米，空气层的介电常数为1，厚度为10微米。
触控位置的周边区域，液体介电层230厚度被升高四分之一，空气层240的厚度被压缩了一半，则：
触控前：ε 1＝(70*100+4*1000+1*10)/(100+1000+10)＝9.9189，C2＝9.9189K/(100+1000+10)＝0.00894K；
触控后：ε 1＝(70*125+4*1000+1*5)/(125+1000+5)＝11.288，C2＝11.288K/(125+1000+5)＝0.00999K。
由此，在触控位置的周边区域，液体介电层230的厚度变厚以使触控电 极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的介电常数以及厚度均变大，并且，介电常数变大的比例大于触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的厚度变大的比例，从而使第二电容相较于触控发生之前变大。
根据触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电常数与施加的力的比例关系可知，第一电容反比于对触控装置中的触控面板10施加的压力的值，第二电容和第二电容变化量正比于对触控装置中的触控面板10施加的压力的值。因此，第二电容变化量与第一电容的电容比与压力的值成正比，即，随着施加到触控面板的压力的增大，电容比也增大。
例如，图5B为本公开另一实施例提供的触控装置的局部结构示意图，与图3B所示的实施例不同的是，如图5B所示，本实施例中的触控面板10为刚性触控面板，固体介电层220为刚性膜层，且流体介电层包括液体介电层230和空气层240，空气层240位于液体介电层230面向触控电极层110的一侧，即在触控发生前，空气层240与液体介电层230面向触控电极层110的表面接触，且空气层240的介电常数小于液体介电层230的介电常数。
例如，在触控压力30施加到触控面板上时，在触控位置处，固体介电层220对空气层240进行挤压以使空气向触控位置周围流动直至固体介电层220与液体介电层230接触。当固体介电层220与液体介电层230接触后，固体介电层220因受到触控压力30的作用而使触控位置处的液体介电层230的表面产生凹陷，其厚度变小，即，液体介电层230中的液体向周围流动。
在发生触控前，触控位置处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间包括空气层240，而触控发生后，触控位置处的触控电极层110与导电层300之间不再包括空气层。根据混合介电常数的公式以及电容的计算公式，假设液体介电层的介电常数为70，厚度为100微米，固体介电层的介电常数为4，厚度为1000微米，空气层的介电常数为1，厚度为10微米。
触控位置101处液体介电层230厚度被压缩四分之一，则：
触控前：ε 1＝(70*100+4*1000+1*10)/(100+1000+10)＝9.9189，C1＝9.9189K/(100+1000+10)＝0.00894K；
触控后：ε 1＝(70*85+4*1000)/(85+1000)＝9.171，C1＝9.171K/(85+1000)＝0.00845K。
由此，在触控位置处，液体介电层230的厚度变薄以使触控电极层110 与导电层300之间的介电层的介电常数以及厚度均变小，并且，介电常数变小的比例大于触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的厚度变小的比例，从而使第一电容相较于触控发生之前变小。
由于本实施例中的触控面板10为刚性触控面板，因此，位于触控位置的周边区域的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的距离相较于触控之前变小，即位于触控位置的周边区域的触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层200的厚度变小。
根据混合介电常数的公式以及电容的计算公式，假设液体介电层的介电常数为70，厚度为100微米，固体介电层的介电常数为4，厚度为1000微米，空气层的介电常数为1，厚度为10微米。
触控位置的周边区域，液体介电层230厚度被升高二十分之一，空气层240的厚度被压缩了五分之四，则：
触控前：ε 1＝(70*100+4*1000+1*10)/(100+1000+10)＝9.9189，C2＝9.9189K/(100+1000+10)＝0.00894K；
触控后：ε 1＝(70*105+4*1000+1*2)/(105+1000+2)＝10.255，C2＝10.255K/(105+1000+2)＝0.00926K。
由此，在触控位置的周边区域，液体介电层230的厚度变厚以使触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的介电常数变大，并且，触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电层的厚度变小，从而使第二电容相较于触控发生之前变大。
根据触控电极层110与导电层300之间的介电常数与施加的力的比例关系可知，第一电容反比于对触控装置中的触控面板施加的压力的值，第二电容和第二电容变化量正比于对触控装置中的触控面板施加的压力的值，因此，第二电容变化量与第一电容的电容比与压力的值成正比，即，随着施加到触控面板的压力的增大，电容比也增大。
以上给出了空气层和液体介电层的厚度的一些示例，然而，根据本公开的实施例不限于此。例如，为了使混合介电层的介电常数在触控压力施加前后有明显变化，可以设定：在未施加所述触控压力时，所述空气层的介电常数ε 空气和所述液体介电层的介电常数ε 液体以及所述空气层的厚度d 空气和所述液体介电层的厚度d 液体满足以下关系：
10×d 空气×ε 空气≥d 液体×ε 液体≥5×d 空气×ε 空气。
例如，本公开实施例中的流体介电层210的厚度范围也可以根据被施加的压力来确定，图6为图3B所示的流体介电层的示意图，并且图6中简单的示意出位于触控位置的周边区域102的流体介电层210的各位置的几何关系。
例如，如图6所示，Δh2为位于触控位置的周边区域102的流体介电层210的远离导电层的一侧凸起的部分的高度，位于触控位置的周边区域102的流体介电层210凸起后的整个截面可形成扇形，则扇形的半径为r，流体介电层210未施加压力时的厚度为d，扇形的两个半径与弧线的交点之间的距离的一半为l，扇形的两个半径之间的夹角的一半为α，且α的值较小。则根据几何关系，可以得到以下计算公式：
r＝d+Δh2，

Figure PCTCN2018115432-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2018115432-appb-000003
其中的包括S up的计算公式表示扇形的面积减去三角形的面积，得到流体介电层210的凸起部分的截面的面积。
触控面板被施加的压力在0.1kg-0.8kg范围内，则根据公式：
Figure PCTCN2018115432-appb-000004
可以得到
Figure PCTCN2018115432-appb-000005
根据上述计算公式可知，由于Δh2与被施加的力的大小有关，所以根据上述公式可以得到流体介电层210的厚度与被施加的力的关系，可以根据上述关系公式设定流体介电层210的厚度。
例如，上述实施例中虽然以触控电极层被配置为检测触控位置，然而， 根据本公开的实施例并不限制于此。该触控电极层也可以不是用于检测触控位置的电极。因此，本公开的实施例也可以单独检测触控压力。
