具体实施方式
为使本领域技术人员更好地理解本公开的技术方案,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开一种显示面板和显示装置作进一步详细描述。
互容式触控驱动电极和感应电极之间的电容变化量是影响触控性能的重要指标。当OLED显示面板中触控电极上方的膜层结构变厚,或者由于触控电极与位于其下方的金属膜层(如阴极)之间形成较大电容,致使触控电极负载较大时,均会导致触控电极在互电容触控时的互容变化量很小(例如,主动笔与触控屏之间仅有几fF的互容变化量)。这些微小变化量不仅影响触控精度、线性度、抖动性等触控性能,而且容易被外部环境中的各种干扰覆盖,导致触控芯片(Touch IC)无法检测到是否发生触控。
针对触控电极上方膜层结构厚或者触控电极负载较大所导致的互电容触控时互容变化量小,而无法检测到是否发生触控的问题,本公开提供一种显示面板和显示装置。在本公开提供的显示面板中,通过设置附加电极层,增加了显示面板触控时的互电容变化量,提高了其触控灵敏度和精确度。
图1为本公开实施例一种显示面板中附加电极层的结构俯视示意图;图2为本公开实施例一种显示面板中触控电极层的结构俯视示意图;图3为本公开实施例一种显示面板的结构剖视示意图。如图1至图3所示,本公开实施例的显示面板包括:显示基板1和设置于显示基板1出光侧的触控电极层2,触控电极层2包括至少一个第一电极21和至少一个第二电极22,至少一个第一电极21和至少一个第二电极22相互交叉并绝缘;显示面板还包括附加电极层3,附加电极层3与触控电极层2不同层设置,附加电极层3包括至少一个第一附加电极31,至少一个第一附加电极31在显示基板1上的正投影与第一电极21在显示基板1上的正投影至少部分重叠;附加电极层3与触控电极层2之间设置有绝缘层4;该至少一个第一附加电极31通过开设在绝缘层4中的至少一个第 一过孔41连接到第一电极21。
在本公开的一些实施例中,第一附加电极31通过开设在绝缘层4中的第一过孔41与第一电极21并联。在本公开的一些实施例中,第一过孔是开设在绝缘层4中的,图2中所示的附图标记41仅表示第一过孔与触控电极层2的位置关系。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述至少一个第一电极21在所述显示基板1上的正投影包括第一边缘区,所述至少一个第一附加电极31在所述显示基板1上的正投影与所述第一边缘区重叠。
可选地,附加电极层3还包括至少一个第二附加电极32,所述至少一个第二附加电极32与所述至少一个第一附加电极31之间彼此绝缘;至少一个第二附加电极32通过开设在绝缘层4中的至少一个第二过孔42连接至少一个第二电极22。所述至少一个第二附加电极32在所述显示基板1上的正投影与所述第二电极22在所述显示基板1上的正投影至少部分重叠,并且通过开设在所述绝缘层4中的至少一个第二过孔32连接所述至少一个第二电极22。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所述至少一个第二电极22在所述显示基板1上的正投影包括第二边缘区,所述至少一个第二附加电极32在所述显示基板1上的正投影与所述第二边缘区重叠。
图1中示出了边缘区211,其包括所述第一边缘区和所述第二边缘区。
在本公开的一些实施例中,边缘区211沿着第一方向(Y方向)或第二方向(X方向)延伸。例如,图2中所示的边缘区211,其对应于第一电极21的边缘和第二电极22的边缘。图1和图2只示出了沿Y方向延伸的边缘区211,沿X方向延伸的边缘区并未示出。如图1和图2所示,第一方向Y和第二方向X为显示面板所在平面内相互垂直的两个方向。
在本公开的一些实施例中,第一电极21为驱动电极,第二电极22为感应电极。替代地,第一电极21为感应电极,第二电极22为驱动电极。第一电极21和第二电极22相互交叉并绝缘,能够实现互电容触控。在边缘区211,第一电极21与第二电极22之间的电力线比较密集,使得在触控条件下,第一电极 21与第二电极22之间的电容变化量较大。因此,增加在边缘区211处的电力线,能提高显示面板的触控灵敏度。
设置与触控电极层2不同层的附加电极层3,且至少一个第一附加电极31在显示基板1上的正投影与第一电极21在显示基板1上的正投影至少部分重叠,且附加电极层3中的第一附加电极31连接到第一电极21。以此方式,第一电极21与第二电极22在边缘区211处的电力线数量增加,从而使第一电极21与第二电极22在边缘区211的电场增强,进而使触控时第一电极21和第二电极22之间的互电容变化量增加。进一步的,提高了该显示面板的触控灵敏度,并改善或避免在触控电极层2上方膜层结构较厚或者触控电极层2负载较大所导致的互电容变化量小、难以检测是否触控的问题。另一方面,通过使第一附加电极31与第一电极21并联连接,降低显示面板的总体电阻,进而沿第一电极21的延伸方向,降低了第一电极21和第二电极22的通道电阻,减小了第一电极21一端与另一端的电阻电容乘积差异,提升了第一电极21上电信号的均一性,从而提升了触控电极的线性度、精确度、报点率、浮地(Floating)性能等触控性能。
可选地,第一过孔41的数量为多个。第一过孔41在显示基板1上的正投影均匀地分布于至少一个第一附加电极31在显示基板1上的正投影与至少一个第一电极21在显示基板1上的正投影的重合区域。多个第一过孔41的设置,一方面,能够确保第一附加电极31与第一电极21之间电连接的牢固性;另一方面,使得第一附加电极31与第一电极21并联连接,进而降低了显示面板的总体电阻,有利于提升触控电极的触控性能。同时,能在第一过孔41的工艺制作上保留更大的工艺余量,降低工艺难度,提升良率。
在本公开的实施例中,如图1和图2所示,第一电极21、第一附加电极31与多个第一过孔41对应设置。
通过使附加电极层3中的第二附加电极32连接到第二电极22,能进一步增加第一电极21与第二电极22在边缘区211处的电力线的数量,从而进一步增强第一电极21与第二电极22在边缘区211的电场,进而进一步增加触控时第 一电极21和第二电极22之间的互电容变化量。进一步的,提高该显示面板的触控灵敏度,并进一步改善或避免在触控电极层2上方膜层结构较厚或者触控电极层2负载较大所导致的互电容变化量小、难以检测是否触控的问题。另一方面,通过使第二附加电极32与第二电极22并联连接,降低显示面板的总体电阻,进而沿第二电极22的延伸方向,降低了第一电极21和第二电极22的通道电阻,减小了第二电极22一端与另一端的电阻电容乘积差异,提升了第二电极22上电信号的均一性,从而进一步提升了触控电极的线性度、精确度、报点率、浮地性能等触控性能。
在本公开的一些实施例中,显示面板包括至少一个第一附加电极31和至少一个第二附加电极32,并且包括至少一个第一电极21和至少一个第二电极22。然而本公开不限于此。在本公开的其他实施例中,显示面板包括多个第一附加电极31和多个第二附加电极32,并且包括多个第一电极21和多个第二电极22,如图1和图2中所示。
在本公开的一些实施例中,第二附加电极32通过开设在绝缘层4中的第二过孔42与第二电极22并联。在本公开的一些实施例中,第二过孔42开设在绝缘层4中,并且图2中所示的42仅表示第二过孔与触控电极层2的位置关系。
可选地,第二过孔42的数量为多个,第二过孔42在显示基板1上的正投影均匀地分布于第二附加电极32在显示基板1上的正投影与第二电极22在显示基板1上的正投影的重合区域。多个第二过孔42的设置,一方面,能够确保第二附加电极32与第二电极22之间电连接的牢固性;另一方面,使得第二附加电极32与第二电极22并联连接,进而降低了显示面板的总体电阻,有利于提升触控电极的触控性能。同时,能在第二过孔42的工艺制作上保留更大的工艺余量,降低工艺难度,提升良率。
在本公开的实施例中,如图1和图2所示,第二电极22、第二附加电极32与多个第二过孔42对应设置。
需要说明的是,本实施例中,附加电极层3设置在显示基板1上。替代地,附加电极层3也可以设置于触控电极层2的远离显示基板1的一侧。
需要说明的是,附加电极层3可以只设置第一附加电极31,也可以只设置第二附加电极32。替代地,附加电极层3也可以既设置第一附加电极31,又设置第二附加电极32,如图1所示。

具体地,在本公开的实施例中,如图1和图2所示,第一电极21在中间处是断开的,因此,第一电极21分成两个部分(即,第一电极块210),而第二电极22未断开。在本公开的其他实施例中,如图5和图6所示,每个子单元200中的第一电极21在中间处可以是未断开的,而第二电极22是断开的,使得第二电极22包括两个部分(即,第二电极块220)。在本公开的实施例中,桥部23设置在与触控电极层2中的第一电极21或第二电极22的断开位置对应的位置处使得桥部23在显示基板1上的正投影位于第一电极21或第二电极22的断开位置处。进一步的,在第二电极22在中间处是断开的情况下,桥部23连接第一附加电极31且通过开设在绝缘层4中的第三过孔43将相邻的两个第二电极块220电连接在一起。替代地,在第一电极21在中间处是断开的情况下,桥部23连接第二附加电极32且通过开设在绝缘层中的第三过孔将相邻的两个第一电极块电连接在一起。

在本公开的一些实施例中,如图1和图2中所示,显示面板包括设置在触 控电极层2中的多个第一电极21和多个第二电极22,每个第一电极21和每个第二电极22分别与一对第一附加电极31和一对第二附加电极32对应。具体地,如图1和图2中所示,一对第一附加电极31在显示基板1上的正投影位于一个第一电极21在显示基板1上的正投影在宽度方向(X方向)上的两侧;一对第二附加电极32在显示基板1上的正投影位于一个第二电极22在显示基板1上的正投影在宽度方向(X方向)上的两侧。在本公开的一些实施例中,触控电极层2还包括沿Y方向延伸的第一浮置电极10,其分别位于触控电极层2的最外侧。
如图2中所示,有八个沿Y方向延伸的第一电极21和七个沿Y方向延伸的第二电极22,其中,最外侧的两个第一电极21中的每个的靠近相应第二电极22的一侧与附加电极层3中的最外侧的两个第一附加电极31连接,而最外侧的两个第一电极21中的每个的靠近相应第一浮置电极10的一侧不连接第一附加电极31。
另外,如图2所示,触控电极层2还包括沿X方向延伸的与沿Y方向延伸的多个第一电极21均相交的第一电极21,该沿X方向延伸的第一电极21在对应于桥部23的位置断开并且将沿Y方向延伸的多个第二电极22中的每个分成上下两个部分,以分别对应于断开的第二附加电极32。如图2所示,沿X方向延伸的第一电极21在对应于桥部23的位置断开(即,包括第一电极块210),而经过对应于桥部23的位置的沿Y方向延伸的第二电极22未断开。然而本公开不限于此。在本公开的其他实施例中,沿X方向延伸的第一电极21在对应于桥部23的位置未断开,而经过对应于桥部23的位置的沿Y方向延伸的第二电极22断开(即,包括第二电极块220),如图6所示,在每个子单元200中,相应的第一电极21和第二电极22以如此方式设置。

在本公开的实施例中,对第一附加电极31、第二附加电极32、第一电极21和第二电极22的数量不做特殊要求。例如,图5中所示的第一附加电极31和第二附加电极32的数量与图1中所示的第一附加电极31和第二附加电极32的数量不同。图6中所示的每个子单元200的第一电极21和第二电极22的数量与图2中所示的第一电极21和第二电极22的数量不同。
可选地,如图6所示,第一电极21包括多个第一电极块210,相邻两个第一电极块210通过连接电极221电连接,连接电极221与第一电极块210同层设置。
需要说明的是,触控电极层2的图案及排布并不局限于图2和图6中所示的情况,其他任意的能够实现互电容触控的触控电极层2图案及排布均可应用于本实施例中。
可选地,如图1和图5所示,桥部23包括一个或多个,桥部23在显示基板1上的正投影位于第一电极21或第二电极22的断开位置处;第二方向X为阵列的行方向。桥部23的设置数量具体根据第一电极21或第二电极22的图形及排布确定。
可选地,第一附加电极31沿第一方向Y或第二方向X的宽度范围为3至500μm;第二附加电极32沿第一方向Y或第二方向X的宽度范围为3至500μm。第一附加电极31和第二附加电极32的该宽度范围设置,能够更好地使第一电极21与第二电极22在边缘区211的电场增强,从而进一步使触控时第一电极21和第二电极22之间的互电容变化量增加,提高该显示面板的触控灵敏度,改善或避免在触控电极层2上方膜层结构较厚或者触控电极层2负载较大所导致 的互电容变化量小、难以检测是否触控的问题。

对传统显示面板和本实施例中的显示面板进行有限元仿真,本实施例中显示面板的叠层结构如表1所示,传统显示面板是仅通过桥部将触控电极层2中断开的第一电极或第二电极连接在一起(即,桥部将触控电极层2中两个第一电极块或两个第二电极块连接在一起),而不包括如本公开实施例中的第一附加 电极和第二附加电极,其他膜层的设置如本实施例中显示面板的叠层结构。仿真结果如表2所示,可以看到本实施例中显示面板相对于传统显示面板,触控电极感应量提升40fF,提升38.6%,抗环境干扰能力强,同时第一电极21电阻由27.8Ω降到21Ω,负载(触控电极层与附加电极层之间的电容值C S)仅增加6.6%,仍然满足触控驱动的驱动参数要求。

本实施例中,在触控电极层的一个子单元200中,第一附加电极31包括多 条第一网状电极,其延伸方向平行于第一电极21中横向网格线的延伸方向(即第二方向X),且第一附加电极31在显示基板1上的正投影落入第一电极21在显示基板1上的正投影中。第一附加电极31与第一电极21通过开设在绝缘层4中的多个第一过孔41连接。第一附加电极31连接桥部23。如此设置,实现了第一附加电极31与第一电极21的并联连接,从而降低了显示面板的总体电阻,进而沿第一电极21的延伸方向,降低了第一电极21与第二电极22之间的通道电阻,减小了第一电极21一端与另一端的电阻电容乘积差异,提升了第一电极21上电信号的均一性,从而提升了触控电极的线性度、精确度、报点率、浮地性能等触控性能。
本实施例中,在触控电极层的一个子单元200中,第二附加电极32包括多条第二网状电极,其延伸方向平行于第二电极22中竖向网格线的延伸方向(即第一方向Y),且第二附加电极32在显示基板1上的正投影落入第二电极22在显示基板1上的正投影中,第二附加电极32在与第一附加电极31相交叉的位置处断开。第二附加电极31与第二电极22通过开设在绝缘层4中的多个第二过孔42连接。如此设置,实现了第二附加电极32与第二电极22的并联连接,从而降低了显示面板的总体电阻,进而沿第二电极22的延伸方向,降低了第一电极21与第二电极22之间的通道电阻,减小了第一电极21一端与另一端的电阻电容乘积差异,提升了第一电极21上电信号的均一性,从而提升了触控电极的线性度、精确度、报点率、浮地性能等触控性能。
在本公开的一些实施例中,第一附加电极31通过开设在绝缘层4中的第一过孔41与第一电极21并联。在本公开的一些实施例中,第一过孔41开设在绝缘层4中,并且图9中所示的41仅表示第一过孔与附加电极层3的位置关系。
在本公开的一些实施例中,第二附加电极32通过开设在绝缘层4中的第二过孔42与第二电极22并联。在本公开的一些实施例中,第二过孔42开设在绝缘层4中,并且图9中所示的42仅表示第二过孔与附加电极层3的位置关系。

本实施例中显示面板的其他结构以及制备方法与上述实施例中相同,此处不再赘述。
本实施例中所提供的显示面板,通过设置与触控电极层不同层的附加电极层,且使至少一个第一附加电极在显示基板上的正投影与第一电极在显示基板上的正投影至少部分重叠,并使附加电极层中的第一附加电极与第一电极并联连接,和/或,使附加电极层中的第二附加电极与第二电极并联连接,能使第一电极与第二电极在边缘区的电力线数量增加,从而使第一电极与第二电极在边缘区的电场增强,进而使触控时第一电极和第二电极之间的互电容变化量增加,提高了该显示面板的触控灵敏度,改善或避免在触控电极层上方膜层结构较厚或者触控电极负载较大所导致的互电容变化量小、难以检测到是否触控的问题;另一方面,通过使第一附加电极与第一电极并联连接,和/或,使第二附加电极与第二电极并联连接,降低显示面板的总体电阻,进而沿第一电极和/或第二电极的延伸方向,降低了第一电极和第二电极的通道电阻,减小了第一电极和/或第二电极一端与另一端的电阻电容乘积差异,提升了第一电极和/或第二电极上电信号的均一性,从而提升了触控电极的线性度、精确度、报点率、浮地性能等触控性能。
本公开实施例还提供一种显示装置,包括上述实施例中的显示面板。
通过采用上述实施例中的显示面板,增加了该显示装置的触控电极在触控时的互电容变化量,从而提高了该显示装置的触控灵敏度,进而改善或避免该显示装置中由于触控电极上方膜层结构较厚或者触控电极负载较大所导致的互电容变化量小、难以检测到是否触控的问题,提升了该显示装置的触控品质。
本公开实施例所提供的显示装置可以为OLED面板、OLED电视、LED面板、 LED电视、Micro LED面板、Micro LED电视、显示器、手机、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
