本发明提供了一种触控面板100,所述触控面板100包括:基板110;第一电极层120,所述第一电极层120设置在所述基板110上,所述第一电极层120包括:多个第一电极链121和多个第二电极链122;所述多个第一电极链121设置在所述基板110上,且所述多个第一电极链121间隔排布,每个第一电极链121包括多个间隔的第一透明电极123;所述多个第二电极链122设置在所述基板110上,且所述多个第二电极链122间隔排布,每个第二电极链122包括多个间隔的第二透明电极124,所述第二电极链122与所述第一电极链121交叉绝缘设置,在所述第二电极链122与所述第一电极链121的交叉处形成连接部125,所述连接部125包括第一连接部126,其中,所述第一连接部126的长度方向与所述触控面板100的弯曲轴方向一致;所述第一连接部126用于电连接同一个所述第一电极链121上相邻的两个所述第一透明电极123;第二电极层130,所述第二电极层130设置在所述第一电极层120上,所述第二电极层130包括:多个辅助电极127,每一所述辅助电极127设置在与相邻所述第一透明电极123和所述第二透明电极124所形成的刻蚀间隙区128相对应的位置。
具体地,所述基板110为透明基板、例如为玻璃基板、塑料基板,也可以为柔性基板。
所述第一电极层120设置在所述基板110上,所述第一电极层120包括:多个第一电极链121和多个第二电极链122。
所述多个第一电极链121设置在所述基板110上,且所述多个第一电极链121间隔排布,每个第一电极链121包括多个间隔的第一透明电极123。
所述多个第二电极链122设置在所述基板110上,且所述多个第二电极链122间隔排布,每个第二电极链122包括多个间隔的第二透明电极124,所述第二电极链122与所述第一电极链121交叉绝缘设置。
可选的,所述第一电极链121为感应电极链,所述第二电极链122为驱动电极链,此时第一透明电极123为感应电极,第二透明电极124为驱动电极。所述感应电极亦可称为触控接收电极、所述驱动电极亦可称为触控发送电极。在其他实施例中,所述第一电极链121为驱动电极链,所述第二电极链122为感应电极链,此时第一透明电极123为驱动电极,第二透明电极124为感应电极。
参阅图1和图5所示,在本实施例中,所述第一电极链121和所述第二电极链122设置在同一层,并且有相同材料制成,例如由相同的透明导电材料,具体地,可以为透光性好的氧化铟锡(ITO)或铟镓锌氧化物(IGZO)或金属材料制成。因此,所述第一透明电极123和所述第二透明电极124的材料也是相同的,可以由透明导电材料或金属材料制成。于是,可以通过一次构图工艺同时形成,简化了工艺。
在其他部分实施例中,所述第一电极链121和所述第二电极链122设置在不同层,所述第一连接部126与所述第一电极链121设置在同一层。亦即,所述第一连接部126与所述第二电极链122不在同一层。
在本实施例中,所述第一透明电极123和所述第二透明电极124由透明导电材料制成的块状结构。此处,第一透明电极123和第二透明电极124均为金属,所述第一电极链121和所述第二电极链122所组成的第一电极层120为网络状结构。第一透明电极123和第二透明电极124可以形成多种形状,例如菱形形状、正方形形状、矩形形状等,本发明对此不做限制。
优选的,在第一透明电极123和第二透明电极124具有菱形形状或正方形形状的情况下,每个第一电极链121中相邻的第一透明电极123沿一第一方向在菱形形状或正方形形状的顶点处通过所述第一连接部126电连接,每个第二电极链122中相邻的第二电极沿第二方向在菱形形状或正方形形状的顶点处彼此电连接。其中,第一方向既可以为X方向,也可以为Y方向;第二方向既可以为X方向,也可以为Y方向。当第一方向为X方向时,第二方向为Y方向;当第一方向为Y方向时,第二方向为X方向。在本实施例中,所述感应电极为沿第一方向(也可以称为水平方向)所对应的电极,所述驱动电极为沿第二方向(也可称为垂直方向)所对应的电极。
在本实施例中,所述第一连接部126设置于所述第二电极层130。优选的,所述第一连接部126的材料可以为氧化铟锡。因此,所述第一连接部126的材料与所述第一透明电极123和所述第二透明电极124的材料相同。当然,在其他部分实施例中,所述第一连接部126的材料也可以为其他透明导电材料。所述第一连接部126与所述第一透明电极123和所述第二透明电极124之间设置第一绝缘层120,所述第一绝缘层120对应所述第一透明电极123开设第一通孔129,所述第一连接部126的两端分别经由贯穿所述第一绝缘层120的所述第一通孔129与所述第一透明电极123相接触。
在所述第二电极层130中,除了设置第一连接部126,还设置有多个辅助电极127。优选的,所述辅助电极127的材料与所述第一连接部126的材料相同,均为氧化铟锡。每一所述辅助电极127设置在与相邻所述第一透明电极123和所述第二透明电极124所形成的刻蚀间隙区128相对应的位置。在本实施例中,优选地,所述辅助电极127为无电极性。由于在第一透明电极123与第二透明电极124之间的刻蚀间隙区128的对应位置,且辅助电极127(即dummy电极)设置无电极性,因此能够匹配第一透明电极123和第二透明电极124的容值。进一步而言,将无电极性的第一连接部126设置在第二电极层130中,这样就可以避免将无电极性的第一连接部126设置在第一电极层120中而因刻蚀间隙过小产生刻蚀残留等所导致的第一透明电极123和第二透明电极124之间短路的风险。
在传统触控面板中,相邻的第一透明电极123’和第二透明电极124’之间存在刻蚀间隙区128’,如图3B所示,而这些刻蚀间隙区128’未被ITO材料覆盖,于是,在相同显示条件下,容易出现刻蚀纹等可视性问题。也就是说,该可视性问题是由于ITO覆盖区和非ITO覆盖区的光学透率不一致所引起的。因此,本发明通过提供一种通过在第二电极层130且与第一电极层120的蚀刻间隙区相对应的位置添加ITO材料的方式,实现在第二电极层130对第一电极层120的蚀刻间隙区进行ITO材料补偿,使得ITO材料几乎布满整个触控面板100的有效区域,如图4A和图4B所示,第一电极层120与第二电极层130叠构一致,从而使得触控面板100在整个面板上的光透过率为相同,于是有效地解决了由于ITO蚀刻间隙产生光穿透率不一致所产生的可视性问题。
另外,在本实施例中,在所述第二电极层130上设置一第二绝缘层140,所述第二绝缘层140覆盖所述第一连接部126和所述多个辅助电极127。所述第二绝缘层140和所述第一绝缘层120的材料可以为氧化硅、氮化硅或两者的组合。
另外,在本实施例中,所述连接部125还可以包括第二连接部(图未标示),所述第二连接部与所述第一连接部126交叉绝缘设置,且所述第二连接部用于电连接同一个所述第二电极链122上相邻的两个所述第二透明电极124。可选的,所述第二连接部由所述第二透明电极124自身延伸而形成。
另外,所述触控面板100还包括边缘引线131和驱动部132,所述边缘引线131电连接至所述第一电极层120和所述驱动部132,所述驱动部132连接至外围电路上的触控驱动芯片(图未标示)。
参阅图6,图6是本发明一实施例中的触控显示装置的示意图。本发明还提供一种触控显示装置200,所述触控显示装置200包括上文任意一实施例提供的触控面板100,在此不再赘述。触控显示装置可以为但不仅限于电子书、智能手机、数字电视、平板电脑、掌上电脑、笔记本电脑、移动互联网设备或穿戴式设备等。
本发明的触控面板100不仅能够有效解决现有的触控面板使用ITO材料因刻蚀间隙而引起的可视性问题,而且通过将辅助电极127设置在位于第一电极层120上方的第二电极层130,以与第一电极层120相匹配,从而有效地避免刻蚀残留导致的触控电极短路等问题。
以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本发明的保护范围。
本申请的主题可以在工业中制造和使用,具备工业实用性。
