触控显示设备及其制备方法 技术领域
本揭示涉及触控面板技术领域,尤其涉及一种触控显示设备及其制备方法。
背景技术
近年来主动矩阵有机发光二极管(AMOLED)显示技术快速发展,对应的触控技术也同步跟进,目前配合主动矩阵有机发光二极管显示屏的触控技术主要有外挂式触控薄膜贴合技术和玻璃封装的刚性内嵌式触控面板技术,无论是外挂触控薄膜贴合技术还是玻璃内嵌式触控技术,都存在增加产品厚度影响窄边设计的问题。外挂式触控薄膜贴合技术如图1所示,包括TFT基板10、光学介质层11、薄膜封装层12、光学黏着胶层13、触控薄膜层14、偏光片15、光学黏着胶层16以及盖板玻璃17构成,通过光学黏着胶层13将触控薄膜层14和主动矩阵有机发光二极管显示面板贴合在一起,根据要求不同触控薄膜层14可以放置在偏光片15的上方或者下方,由于增加了贴合次数,贴合公差一般都在0.1毫米以上,所以外挂式触控薄膜贴合技术会增大产品厚度而且不利于窄边框产品设计。
如图2所示,玻璃封装内嵌式主动矩阵有机发光二极管触控技术包括TFT基板20、光学介质层21、封装玻璃层22、触控线路层23、偏光片24、光学黏着胶层25以及盖板玻璃26构成,是在显示屏的封装玻璃层22上制作触控感应线路,然后将封装玻璃层22的一面通过玻璃胶与OLED面板贴合在一起,不需要再单独贴合外挂式触控薄膜。但是这种结构只适合制作刚性的主动矩阵有机发光二极管显示屏,而且产品整体厚度较厚,不适合当前产品轻薄化的发展方向。另外直接在OLED面板上制作触控面板会受到下方OLED面板的信号的干扰,出现触控不灵敏的情况。
因此,有必要提供一种触控显示设备及其制备方法,解决现有技术中增大产品厚度及触控不灵敏的缺陷。

更详细地说,在封装层上采用Metal-mesh金属网格技术制作金属网格线路400,所述金属网格线路400避开所述有机发光二极管显示面板110的像素点的发光区,在相邻像素点的中间区域走线,所述金属网格线路400的线宽在0.5微米至5微米的范围内。具体做法是先在封装层113上形成所述层基底层211(buffer layer),所述基底层211优选为氮化硅材料构成,然后在基底层211上形成一第一金属层作为所述第一架桥结构300。再于所述第一架桥结构300上形成一绝缘层231,并采用蚀刻工艺在所述第一架桥结构300上方形成多个通孔500,之后制作一第二金属层241于所述绝缘层231上,并将第二金属层241蚀刻出包含所述第一电极单元2121和所述第二电极单元2131的一触控电极图案,所述第一架桥结构300通过绝缘层231上的通孔500将相互隔离的所述第一电极单元2121与所述第二电极单元2131导通,实现互电容感应功能。
另外在所述第一电极单元2121或所述第二电极单元2131的最外围设置了一第二架桥结构600,当所述第一架桥结构300电性连接相邻的第一电极单元2121。所述第二电极单元2131还包括位于所述第二电极单元2131内部的一第三电极2133(例如前述的浮置电极或虚拟电极),所述第一架桥结构300电性连接所述第三电极2133与所述第一电极单元2121,以及所述第一电极单元2121还包括位于所述第一电极单元2121内部的一第四电极2123(例如前述的浮置电极或虚拟电极),一第二架桥结构600电性连接所述第四电极2123与所述第二电极单元2131。
在此实施例中,所述第二电极单元2131的最外围设置了所述第二架桥结构600,将所述第一电极单元2121内部的第四电极2123与所述第二电极单元2131导通,扩大所述第二电极单元2131的感应区域,增加所述第二电极单元2131与所述第一电极单元2121之间的触控感应的面积,有效增大触控感应信号与灵敏度。
在本揭示的另一实施例中,当所述第一架桥结构300电性连接相邻的第二电极单元2131,所述第一电极单元2121还包括位于所述第一电极单元2121延伸的一第四电极2123,所述第一架桥结构300电性连接所述第四电极2123与所述第二电极单元2131,以及所述第二电极单元2131还包括位于所述第二电极单元2131内部的一第三电极2133,第二架桥结构600电性连接所述第三电极2133与所述第一电极单元2121。
即所述第二电极单元的两端分别设置了所述第一架桥结构300,即所述第一架桥结构300设置于两相邻第二电极单元2131间。所述第一架桥结构300将两个相邻第二电极单元2131相互连接,实现信号的有效传达。并且,所述第一架桥结构300将所述第一电极单元2121内部的第四电极2123与第二电极单元2131导通,实现第二电极单元2131的感应区域的增大,加强触控驱动区域和感应区域的交互能力。
并且在此实施例中,所述第一电极单元2121的最外围设置了所述第二架桥结构600,将所述第二电极单元2131内部的第三电极2133与所述第一电极单元2121导通,扩大所述第一电极单元2121的感应区域,增加所述第一电极单元2121与所述第二电极单元2131之间的触控感应面积,有效增大触控感应信号与灵敏度。
通过上述设计将所述第一电极单元2121内部的第四电极2123(浮置电极/虚拟电极)与所述第二电极单元2131导通,或是将所述第二电极单元2131内部的第三电极2133 (浮置电极/虚拟电极)与所述第一电极单元2121导通,从而可以扩大所述第一电极单元2121与所述第二电极单元2131的触控感应区域,增加所述第一电极单元2121与所述第二电极单元2131触控感应面积,有效增大触控感应信号。
本揭示提供的触控显示设备及其制备方法,通过在柔性主动矩阵有机发光二极管显示屏的薄膜封装层上制作金属网格触控感应线路,实现柔性有机发光二极管屏幕的内嵌式触控面板技术。相对目前常见设计可有效减薄面板产品厚度,而且采用金属网格作为触控感应线路可以使面板产品具有良好的耐弯折特性,实现柔性显示触控。再者,本揭示提出的金属网格触控结构可以有效减少触控显示设备在制程中的膜贴合次数,降低面板产品厚度,同时利用不同的架桥结构连接触控电极和周边感应电极的设计有效增强了触控感应信号及扩大触控感应区域,提升了触控感应的灵敏度。
以上所述是本揭示的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本揭示原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也视为本揭示的保护范围。
