本公开的一些实施例提供了一种触控基板100。如图1A所示,该触控基板包括衬底10,以及设置于衬底10上的多条第一触控电极1和多条第二触控电极2。多条第一触控电极1沿第一方向OX延伸,多条第二触控电极2沿第二方向OY延伸,并且多条第二触控电极2与多条第一触控电极1之间相互绝缘。其中,第一方向OX与第二方向OY相互交叉,例如第一方向OX可以与第二方向OY彼此垂直。
如图2A和图2B所示,每条第一触控电极1和每条第二触控电极2中均包括网格结构30和多个第一虚拟电极41。其中,网格结构30由多条导线(例如图2A中的多条第一导线31和多条第二导线32,或者,图2B中的多条第一导线31和多条第二导线32)交叉排布形成,该多条导线可以用于传输电信号。
网格结构30包括多个第一格301,在每个第一格301中设置有至少一个第一虚拟电极41(例如图2A和图2B均以每个第一格301中设置两个第一虚拟电极41为例进行示意,可以理解,本实施例及相应附图并不对该第一格301中第一虚拟电极的数量进行限制),每个第一虚拟电极41与其所在的第一格301之间相互绝缘。
如图1A和图3A所示,所述多条第一触控电极1在衬底10的正投影与所述多条第二触控电极2在衬底10的正投影交叉,形成多个交叉区域A。在每个交叉区域A内,第一触控电极1中的网格结构30在衬底10的正投影与第二触控电极2中的网格结构30在衬底10的正投影形成投影网格结构。投影网格结构具有多个第二格302,每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影位于一个第二格302中,且每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影包括至少两条线段,所述至少两条线段交叉设置,且所述至少两条线段之间不存在封闭区域。
其中,参见图3A,在每个交叉区域A内,存在第一触控电极1的多条导线的正投影与第二触控电极2的多条导线的正投影重叠的多个重叠区域C,由于第一触控电极1的每条导线和第二触控电极2的每条导线之间电绝缘,因此在每个重叠区域C处会产生一个由相应的两条导线形成的互感电容。此处,值得指出的是,在一些相关技术中,每条第一触控电极1和每条第二触控电极2的导线设置密度通常较大,因此在每个交叉区域A内存在较多的重 叠区域C,导致第一触控电极1和第二触控电极2之间产生较大的互感电容值,进而造成采用该触控基板的触控显示装置中触控电路的电阻电容延时严重,降低了触控显示装置的信号传递速度。基于此,在另一些相关技术中,通过增大每条第一触控电极1中每个第一格301的尺寸和每条第二触控电极2中每个第一格301的尺寸,使每个交叉区域A内的第一触控电极1和第二触控电极2的导线设置密度降低。然而,在每个第一格301的尺寸设置的较大情况下,会导致人眼能够分辨出每个第一格301。尤其是在所述多个交叉区域A以外的非交叉区域(例如图1A示出的非交叉区域D)中,该第一格301更加容易被人眼所察觉到。继而在使用触控显示装置时能够察觉到多条第一触控电极1和多条第二触控电极2的存在,降低了触控显示装置的显示效果。
而本实施例提供的触控基板,由于所述多条第一触控电极1和所述多条第二触控电极2的第一格301中均设置有第一虚拟电极41,每个第一虚拟电极与其所在的第一格301相互绝缘,也即每个第一虚拟电极中无电信号传输,因此所述多条第一触控电极1和所述多条第二触控电极2的用于传输电信号的导线的设置密度较低(例如,参见图3A,第一触控电极1中相邻的两条导线之间的间距L1由相关技术中的100μm~200μm增大至300μm~400μm,第二触控电极2中相邻的两条导线之间的间距L2由相关技术中的100μm~200μm增大至300μm~400μm),也就是说,第一触控电极1和第二触控电极2之间所产生的互感电容值较低,从而能够改善触控显示装置中触控电路的电阻电容延时情况,提高了触控显示装置的信号传递速度。
同时,由于所述多条第一触控电极1和所述多条第二触控电极2的第一格301中均设置第一虚拟电极41,且在交叠区域A内,每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影位于一个第二格302中,这使得第一格301及第二格302内被划分为多个尺寸更小的区域,进而使得第一格301及第二格302不易被人眼观察到,也即能够避免人眼察觉到触控基板100中的所述多条第一触控电极1和所述多条第二触控电极2的存在,保证了触控显示装置的显示效果。
其中,第一格301的尺寸指的是第一格301的对边之间的最大距离,第二格302的尺寸指的是第二格302的对边之间的最大距离。
图4示出了一些实施例中的第一虚拟电极41。如图4所示,该第一虚拟电极41中具有封闭区域Q。然而,本公开发明人经研究发现:在对具有该触控基板的触控显示装置进行触摸操作时,所述多条第一触控电极1和所述多条第二触控电极2中的网格结构30及第一虚拟电极41上容易积聚电荷。其中网格结构30上的电荷容易导出,但是第一虚拟电极41多为相互孤立的如 图4所示的菱形结构,这导致第一虚拟电极41上的感应电荷不容易消散。而二者(即网格结构30和第一虚拟电极41)的电荷差异会导致整个显示区域的电场分布不均,进而会导致触控显示装置的整个屏幕在触控时显现出明暗相间的网格纹。
例如,对于液晶触控显示装置而言,尤其是对于无盖板玻璃的On-cell产品(也即将上述第一触控电极1和第二触控电极2均设置于液晶盒外,且在第一触控电极1和第二触控电极2远离液晶盒一侧只设置有偏光片,而并不在偏光片上继续设置盖板玻璃的显示装置;其中,液晶盒主要包括对盒设置的阵列基板和对置基板,以及位于两者之间的液晶)而言,在正常情况下,偏光片、触控基板及液晶盒内离子处于平衡状态,正负电荷分布均匀,显示画面均一。
而当手指或手套与偏光片摩擦时,则很容易产生电荷,从而使得偏光片发生极化,正负电荷分布平衡被打破,随后,触控基板感应出相应的电荷和极化。此时,第一触控电极和第二触控电极中的网格结构完整且连通,感应电荷容易导出,但第一虚拟电极为封闭图像,如图4所示的菱形结构,其构造导致其上的电荷不容易消散。因此,二者的差异最终会导致下方液晶盒内离子平衡状态破坏,对液晶盒内电场分布造成影响,导致液晶偏转发生变化。而变化区域与无变化区域的显示效果存在差异,所以会导致液晶触控显示装置的整个屏幕在触控时显现出明暗相间的网格纹。
而本实施例提供的触控基板中,每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影位于一个第二格302中,每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影位于一个第二格302中,且每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影包括至少两条线段,所述至少两条线段交叉设置,且所述至少两条线段之间不存在封闭区域。例如,本实施例中的第一虚拟电极可以为图2A、图2B和图3A示出的第一虚拟电极41;又例如,本实施例中的第一虚拟电极还可以为如图5A~图5C示出的第一虚拟电极41。这样设计,相较于图4示出的第一虚拟电极而言,本实施例提供的第一虚拟电极上的电荷更容易导出,从而不容易出现如上所述的屏幕在触控时显现出明暗相间的网格纹的现象。
在一些实施例中,所述第一虚拟电极41与其所在的第一格301的边缘之间留有设定间距。这使得第一虚拟电极41与其所在的第一格301之间可以相互绝缘。
示例性的,该设定间距为4μm~12μm,例如该设定间距可以4μm、8μm或12μm等。此时,人眼不容易看到第一虚拟电极41和其所在的第一格301 之间的缺口,提高了触控基板100的光学均匀性,同时,能够有效的防止第一虚拟电极41和其所在的第一格301之间发生短路。可以理解,本实施例中,当该设定间距等于或接近4μm时,能够使人眼更不容易看到缺口,进一步提高触控基板100的光学均匀性。而在设定间距等于或接近8μm时,则能够更有效的防止第一虚拟电极和其所在的第一格301之间发生短路现象。
在一些实施例中,参见图3A~图3C,每个所述第二格302包括第一边缘b1和第二边缘b2。其中,第一边缘b1为第一触控电极1中的网格结构30在衬底的部分正投影;第二边缘b2为第二触控电极2中的网格结构30在衬底的部分正投影。第一触控电极1中的第一虚拟电极41在衬底的正投影与该第一虚拟电极41所在的第二格302的第二边缘b2彼此相连或者彼此部分地重叠;和/或,第二触控电极2中的第一虚拟电极41在衬底的正投影与该第一虚拟电极41所在的第二格302的第一边缘b1彼此相连或者彼此部分地重叠。
本实施例中,通过第一触控电极1中的第一虚拟电极41在衬底的正投影与该第一虚拟电极41所在的第二格302的第二边缘b2彼此相连或者彼此部分地重叠,使得在第一触控电极1远离衬底的一侧,看到的第一触控电极1中的第一虚拟电极41和该第一虚拟电极41所在的第二格302的第二边缘b2是相连的,也即这两者之间不存在缺口,从而能够减少缺口数量,提高光学均匀性,避免因缺口太多而造成明暗相间分布的情况。
通过第二触控电极2中的第一虚拟电极41在衬底的正投影与该第一虚拟电极41所在的第二格302的第一边缘b1彼此相连或者彼此部分地重叠,使得在第二触控电极2远离衬底的一侧,看到的第二触控电极2中的第一虚拟电极41和该第一虚拟电极41所在的第二格302的第一边缘b1是相连的,也即这两者之间不存在缺口,从而能够进一步减少缺口数量,提高光学均匀性,避免因缺口太多而造成明暗相间分布的情况。
上述第一格301的形状可以为正方形、长方形、菱形或正六边形;相应的,上述第二格302的形状可以为正方向、长方形或菱形。例如,在第一格301的形状为正方形时,交叠形成的第二格302可以为形状相同、大小不同的正方形;又例如,在在第一格301的形状为长方形时,交叠形成的第二格302可以为形状相同、大小不同的长方形;又例如,如图3A~图3C所示,在第一格301的形状为菱形时,交叠形成的第二格302可以为形状相同、大小不同的菱形;又例如,在第一格301的形状为六边形时,交叠形成的第二格302的形状可以为将该六边形进行三等分后得到的菱形形状。可以理解,本实施例并不对此进行限制,只要满足第一触控电极1的第一格301和第二触控电 极2的第一格301可以交叠形成第二格302即可。
在一些实施例中,第一格301的面积是第二格302的面积的整数倍。例如,可以如图3A~图3C所示,将一个第一格301分为四个形状相同且大小相等第二格302,也即第一格301的面积是第二格302的面积的四倍。当然,在另一些示例中,该第一格301的面积也可以是第二格302的面积的三倍或五倍等,此处并不对倍数关系进行限制。
本实施例中,通过设置第一格301的面积是第二格302的面积的整数倍,使得所形成的投影网格结构中的每个第二格302为均匀排列,有利于减少摩尔纹的产生,从而降低了摩尔纹对采用该触控基板的触控显示装置的显示效果的影响。
在一些实施例中,参见图3A~3C、以及图5A,每个第一虚拟电极41中的至少两条线段相交于第一交点P,该第一交点P位于其所在的第二格302的中心处。这样设计,可以利于第一虚拟电极对第二格302进行比较均匀的分割,从而有利于进一步提高光学均匀性,提高采用该触控基板的触控显示装置的显示效果。
此外,在另一些示例中,参见图5B,上述每个第一虚拟电极41中所有线段也同时相交于两个交点,例如图5B示出了三条线段相交于两个交点的情况。在又一些示例中,参见图5C,上述每个第一虚拟电极41中所有线段也可以同时相交于三个交点,例如图5C中示出了四条线段相交于三个交点的情况。可以理解的是,本实施例并不对第一虚拟电极41中所有线段相交形成的交点个数进行限定,只要满足第一虚拟电极41中所有线段之间不存在如图4所示的封闭区域Q即可。另外,本实施例也并不对第一虚拟电极中各线段的形状进行限定,例如该第一虚拟电极中线段的形状可以是直线,也可以是曲线。
在本公开的一些实施例中,参见图3A~图3C,每个第一虚拟电极41中包括相交于同一点的两条线段,所述两条线段分别平行于第二格302的两条邻边。这样能够比较均匀的分隔第二格302内的区域,从而提高触控基板的光学均匀性。其中,第二格302的形状包括但不限于如上所述的正方形、长方形或菱形等。
在一些实施例中,第一触控电极1和所述第二触控电极2中的第一格301均为第一菱形格,每个第一菱形格包括相互垂直的第一对角线方向和第二对角线方向。参见图2A和图2B,本文中,为了方便说明,将第一触控电极1中的第一菱形格称为第一子菱形格3011,并将第二触控电极2中的第一菱形 格称为第二子菱形格3012。可以理解,第一触控电极1中的第一菱形格和第二触控电极2中的第一菱形格形状相同、大小相等,也即该第一子菱形格3011和第二子菱形格3012形状相同、大小相等。
如图2A所示,第一触控电极1中的两个第一虚拟电极41设置于第一子菱形格3011中,且沿该第一子菱形格3011的第一对角线方向(例如第二方向OY)间隔设置。如图2B所示,第二触控电极2中的两个第一虚拟电极41设置于第二子菱形格3012中,且沿该第二子菱形格3012的第二对角线方向(例如第一方向OX)间隔设置。同时,参见图3A,第一子菱形格3011的第一对角线与第二子菱形格3012的第二对角线在空间上相互垂直。通过上述设计方案,使得在如图3A所示的交叉区域A内,第一子菱形格3011在衬底的正投影与第二子菱形格3012在衬底的正投影之间形成的第二格302为四边形,并能够使每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底的正投影位于一个呈四边形的第二格302中,进而有利于提高触控基板的光学均匀性。
在此基础上,示例性的,参见图3A,第二格302为第二菱形格3021,所述第二菱形格3021的各个边与所述第一菱形格(例如第一子菱形格3011和第二子菱形格3012)的各个边分别平行,且所述第二菱形格3021的面积为所述第一菱形格的面积的四分之一。这样设置,可以将第一格301划分为形状相同且大小相等的四个第二格302,提高了第二格302的分布均匀性,进而有利于进一步提高触控基板的光学均匀性。
示例性的,每个第一虚拟电极41中包括相交于同一点的两条线段,所述两条线段的中心位于所述第二菱形格的中心处,并且所述两条线段分别平行于所述第二菱形格的两条邻边。此时,第一虚拟电极41的两条线段均为直线段,并且第一虚拟电极41可以在第二格(即第二菱形格)内分隔出形状相同且大小相等的四个区域,进而有利于使触控基板具有更好的光学均匀性。
示例性的,第一菱形格中一对相对的夹角均为60度,另一对相对的夹角均为120度。相应的,第二菱形格中一对相对的夹角均为60度,另一对相对的夹角均为120度。
在一些实施例中,参见图1B和图3D,该触控基板100还包括:与第一触控电极1同层设置、且位于相邻两条第一触控电极1之间的多个第二虚拟电极42;和/或,与第二触控电极2同层设置、且位于相邻两条第二触控电极2之间的多个第三虚拟电极43。其中,可以理解的是,每个第二虚拟电极42与第一触控电极1中的网格结构30之间相互绝缘,每个第三虚拟电极42与第二触控电极2中的网格结构30之间相互绝缘。
这样设置,使得人眼不容易在相邻两条第一触控电极1之间的区域和/或相邻两条第二触控电极2之间的区域观察到明暗相间的网格纹,从而实现了满版设计,使得相邻两条第一触控电极1之间的区域与第一触控电极1所在的区域达到基本相同的光学均匀性,并使得相邻两条第二触控电极2之间的区域与第二触控电极2所在的区域达到基本相同的光学均匀性。
示例性的,参见图1B和图3D,相邻两条所述第一触控电极1之间的间距L3为40μm~50μm,例如相邻两条所述第一触控电极1之间的间距L3可以为40μm、45μm或50μm等。和/或,相邻两条所述第二触控电极2之间的间距L4为40μm~50μm,例如相邻两条所述第二触控电极2之间的间距L4可以为40μm、45μm或50μm等。此处,值得指出的是,相关技术中,第一触控电极1和/或第二触控电极2的宽度均为几毫米,例如4mm~5mm。本实施例相较相关技术而言,缩小了相邻两条第一触控电极1之间的间距和/或相邻两条第二触控电极2之间的间距,这样能够提高触控基板100的触控灵敏度,并且有利于进一步提高触控基板100的整体光学均匀性。
其中,参见图3D,需要说明的是,相邻两条第一触控电极1之间的区域和相邻两条第二触控电极2之间的区域存在重叠部分,该重叠部分内可以设置第二虚拟电极42,或者也可以设置第三虚拟电极43(如图3D所示)。
此外,第二虚拟电极42的形状和第三虚拟电极43的形状均可以与上述第一虚拟电极41的形状相同。例如,在图3D中,第二虚拟电极42的形状和第三虚拟电极43的形状均可以包括相交于同一点的两条直线段。
在本公开的一些实施例中,第一触控电极1中网格结构30的材料和多个第一虚拟电极41的材料为相同的导电材料。第一触控电极2中网格结构30的材料和多个第一虚拟电极41的材料为相同的导电材料。
在此情况下,由于网格结构30的材料和所述多个第一虚拟电极41的材料相同,因而在制作所述多条第一触控电极1或所述多条第二触控电极2时,能够在同一工序中制作网格结构30和第一虚拟电极41,简化了制作工艺。
在此基础上,示例性的,第二虚拟电极42的材料与第一触控电极1的材料相同,因此能够在同一工序中制作第二虚拟电极42和第一触控电极1,简化了制作工艺。
示例性的,第三虚拟电极43的材料与第二触控电极2的材料相同,因此能够在同一工序中制作第三虚拟电极43和第一触控电极2,简化了制作工艺。
示例性的,网格结构30的材料包括铜、银、铝、钛或者镍等金属中的至少一种,第一虚拟电极41的材料包括铜、银、铝、钛或者镍等金属中的至少 一种。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述多条第一触控电极1为多条驱动电极,所述多条第二触控电极2为多条感应电极;或者,所述多条第一触控电极1为多条感应电极,所述多条第二触控电极2为多条驱动电极。
示例性的,如图6所示,触控基板100还包括设置于所述多条第二触控电极和所述多条第一触控电极之间的绝缘层3,绝缘层3可以使所述多条第二触控电极1与所述多条第一触控电极2之间相互绝缘。
本公开的一些实施例提供了一种触控显示装置001,如图7A~图7E所示,该触控显示装置001包括如上所述的触控基板100,因此,该触控显示装置001具有如上所述的触控基板100的全部有益效果。
示例性的,如图7A所示,该触控基板100的衬底10为保护盖板10A。此时,该触控显示装置001还包括显示面板200A。该触控基板100可以直接设置于显示面板200A的显示侧(此时第一触控电极1和第二触控电极2均位于保护盖板10A与显示面板200A之间),从而可以同时达到保护该显示面板200A以及实现触控功能的目的。其中,该显示面板可以为液晶显示面板或有机发光二极管显示面板等具有显示功能的面板。
又示例性的,如图7B所示,该触控基板100的衬底10为彩膜基板10B。此时,该触控显示装置001可以包括白光有机发光二极管显示面板200B,该触控基板100可以直接设置于白光有机发光二极管显示面板200B的显示侧(此时第一触控电极1和第二触控电极2均位于彩膜基板10B远离白光有机发光二极管显示面板200B的一侧),从而可以同时达到全彩显示以及实现触控功能的目的。
又示例性的,如图7C所示,触控基板100的衬底10为用于封装显示基板200C的封装层10C。上述显示基板200C的每个亚像素包括设置在基底201上的发光器件和驱动电路,驱动电路包括多个薄膜晶体管202。发光器件包括阳极203、发光功能层204以及阴极205,阳极203和多个薄膜晶体管202中作为驱动晶体管的薄膜晶体管202的漏极电连接,以通过薄膜晶体管驱动发光功能层204发光。而封装层10C的设置可以防止显示基板中的薄膜晶体管202、阳极203、阴极205以及二者之间的有机发光层204受到水氧的侵蚀。同时,本实施例中,封装层10C还可以同时作为触控基板100的衬底10。
在图7C示出的触控显示装置001的基础上,示例性的,参见图7D,该触控显示装置001还可以包括偏光片206,此时,触控基板100中的多条第一触控电极1和多条第二触控电极2位于该偏光片206与触控基板100的衬底 10(例如封装层10C)之间。在该实施例中,偏光片206的设置可以减弱屏幕反光效果,从而达到更好的显示效果。
示例性的,如图7D所示,该触控显示装置001还可以包括胶层207,该胶层207设置于偏光片206与触控基板100之间,并且该胶层207的电阻率为10 8Ω·m~10 11Ω·m。此处,值得说明的是,本公开发明人经研究发现,在胶层207的电阻率等于或趋近于10 8Ω·m时,有利于使触控基板100上的感应电荷更快地被导出,并且触控基板100上的多条第一触控电极1之间不容易发生短路,触控基板100上的多条第二触控电极2之间也不容易发生短路。而当该胶层207的电阻率等于或趋近于10 11Ω·m时,则能够在较好的导出感应电荷的基础上,更好的防止发生短路现象。因此,通过设置该胶层207的电阻率为10 8Ω·m~10 11Ω·m,可以提高触控灵敏度和显示效果。在一些示例中,该胶层207的电阻率为10 9Ω·m~10 10Ω·m,这样设置,可以更好的平衡感应电荷的导出效果与发生短路的风险。其中,可选的,该胶层207可以为PSA(Pressure Sensitive Adhesive,压敏胶)层。
其中,可选的,还可以在偏光片206的相对两侧分别设置支持层,该支持层可以为TAC(Triacetyl Cellulose,三醋酸纤维素)薄膜,通过设置支持层可以对偏光片206进行支撑,从而有利于防止偏光片206发生断裂。
可选的,偏光片206的材料可以为PVA(Polyvinyl Alcohol,聚乙烯醇)。
在一些实施例中,所述触控显示装置001还可以为液晶显示装置,此时,所述触控基板100的衬底10为液晶显示装置的对置基板10D。同时,在一些示例中,该对置基板10D还可以是彩膜基板。
其中,如图7E所示,该液晶显示装置的主要结构包括阵列基板211、对置基板10D以及二者之间的液晶212。其中,触控基板100的多条第一触控电极1和多条第一触控电极2均位于对置基板10D远离液晶212的一侧。
在此基础上,如图7E所示,该液晶显示装置还包括设置在对置基板10D远离液晶212一侧的第一偏光片213以及设置在阵列基板11远离液晶212一侧的第二偏光片214。此时,第一偏光片213位于触控基板100的多条第一触控电极1和多条第一触控电极2远离对置基板10D一侧。
其中,第一偏光片213和第二偏光片214可以选用与上述偏光片206相同的材料。同时,也可以在第一偏光片213的相对两侧、以及第二偏光片214的相对两侧分别设置如上所述的支持层。此处设置支持层所能达到的有益效果与上面描述的内容相同,因此不在赘述。
基于此,示例性的,如图7E所示,还可以在液晶显示装置的第一偏光片 213与触控基板100之间设置如上所述的胶层207。此处设置胶层207所能达到的效果与上面描述的内容相同,因此也不在赘述。
示例性的,本公开的实施例所提供的触控显示装置001为外置式触控(On cell Touch)显示装置、嵌入式触控(In Cell Touch)显示装置或者一体化触控(OGS,One glass solution)显示装置中的一种。
示例性的,触控显示装置001为显示不论运动(例如,视频)还是固定(例如,静止图像)的且不论文字还是图画的图像的任何装置。更明确地说,预期所述实施例可实施在多种电子装置中或与多种电子装置关联,所述多种电子装置例如(但不限于)移动电话、无线装置、个人数据助理(PDA)、手持式或便携式计算机、GPS接收器/导航器、相机、MP4视频播放器、摄像机、游戏控制台、手表、时钟、计算器、电视监视器、平板显示器、计算机监视器、汽车显示器(例如,里程表显示器等)、导航仪、座舱控制器和/或显示器、相机视图的显示器(例如,车辆中后视相机的显示器)、电子相片、电子广告牌或指示牌、投影仪、建筑结构、包装和美学结构(例如,对于一件珠宝的图像的显示器)等。
本公开的一些实施例还提供一种触控基板100的制作方法,参见图1A、图6和图8,该制作方法包括:
S101、在衬底10上形成多条第一触控电极1,多条第一触控电极1沿第一方向OX延伸。
其中,如图2A所示,每条第一触控电极1包括网格结构30和多个第一虚拟电极41。网格结构30具有多个第一格301,每个第一格301中设置有至少一个第一虚拟电极41,且每个第一虚拟电极41与其所在的第一格301电绝缘。
在此,对于形成第一触控电极1的具体制作工艺不进行限定。在一些实施例中,先在衬底10的一侧上形成第一导电薄膜,而后对该第一导电薄膜进行构图工艺,以形成所述多条第一触控电极1。示例性的,所述构图工艺包括涂布光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀以及清洗等工序。
此外,在形成所述多各第一触控电极1之前,对于衬底10上已形成的膜层不做限定。示例性的,在形成所述多条第一触控电极1之前,衬底10上可以形成有黑矩阵图案(Black Matrix,简称BM)。
在另一个示例中,在形成所述多各第一触控电极1之前,先在衬底10的一侧上形成第一保护层(Over Coat,简称OC),然后在该第一保护层的背向衬底10的一侧上形成所述多条第一触控电极1。在此,在形成所述多条第一 触控电极1的过程中,第一保护层能够起到保护衬底10的作用。
S102、在所述多条第一触控电极1背向衬底10的一侧上形成绝缘层3。
在此,对于绝缘层3的材料不进行限定。示例性的,绝缘层3的材料为氮化硅、氧化硅或氮氧化硅中的至少一种。
S103、在绝缘层3背向衬底10的一侧上形成多条第二触控电极2,多条第二触控电极2沿第二方向OY延伸。
其中,如图2B所示,每条第二触控电极2包括网格结构30和多个第一虚拟电极41。网格结构30具有多个第一格301,每个第一格301中设置有至少一个第一虚拟电极41,且每个第一虚拟电极41与其所在的第一格301电绝缘。
在此,对于形成所述多条第二触控电极2的具体制作工艺不进行限定。例如,先在绝缘层3上形成第二导电薄膜,再对该第二导电薄膜进行构图工艺,以形成所述多条第二触控电极2。示例性的,所述构图工艺包括涂布光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀以及清洗等工序。
参见图1A和图3A,通过上述制作方法制作出的触控基板100中,所述多条第一触控电极1在衬底10的正投影与所述多条第二触控电极2在衬底10的正投影交叉,形成多个交叉区域A。在每个交叉区域A内,第一触控电极1中的网格结构30在衬底10的正投影与第二触控电极2中的网格结构30在衬底10的正投影形成投影网格结构。投影网格结构具有多个第二格302,每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影位于一个第二格302中,且每个第一虚拟电极41在衬底10的正投影包括至少两条线段,所述至少两条线段交叉设置,且所述至少两条线段之间不存在封闭区域。例如,本实施例中的第一虚拟电极可以为图2A、图2B和图3A示出的第一虚拟电极41;又例如,本实施例中的第一虚拟电极还可以为如图5A~图5C示出的第一虚拟电极41。这样,相较于图4示出的第一虚拟电极而言,本实施例提供的第一虚拟电极上的电荷更容易导出,从而不容易出现如上所述的屏幕在触控时显现出明暗相间的网格纹的现象。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
