Below the concrete structure of realizing the touch-control drive electrode of touch controllable function in the above-mentioned touch-screen is described in detail.
Particularly, because mutually insulated and constitute common electrode layer jointly between touch-control drive electrode 4 and the public electrode 5; Therefore, when the specific design common electrode layer, as shown in Figure 4, each public electrode 5 can be set to strip shaped electric poles, each public electrode 5 extends along the column direction of pixel cell; Each touch-control drive electrode 4 extends along the line direction of pixel cell, and each touch-control drive electrode 4 is divided into the touch-control driven element electrode 41 that a plurality of colleagues arrange, the gap location of each touch-control driven element electrode 41 between adjacent public electrode 5.A touch-control drive electrode Tx1 for example has been shown among Fig. 4 has been made of 5 touch-control driven element electrodes 41, same Tx2 and Tx3 also are made of 5 touch-control driven element electrodes.
And, in the touch-screen that the utility model embodiment provides, the side of touch-control drive electrode 4 and the side of relative public electrode 5 are the situation of broken line, in the specific implementation can be as shown in Figure 4, the side of the side of touch-control drive electrode 4 and relative public electrode 5 all has concavo-convex structure, the consistent and mutual coupling of two concavo-convex planforms; Perhaps, also can be as shown in Figure 5, the side of the side of touch-control drive electrode 4 and relative public electrode 5 all has step structure, the consistent and mutual coupling of two step structure shapes.And in the specific implementation, the broken line structure that can also have side is the combination of concavo-convex structure and step structure, certainly, also can design the shape of broken line according to actual needs, does not do restriction at this.
Certainly, when the specific design common electrode layer, also can be set to along the strip shaped electric poles of the line direction extension of pixel cell by each touch-control drive electrode; Public electrode is set to extend along the column direction of pixel cell, and each public electrode is divided into the public sub-electrode that a plurality of same columns arrange, and each public sub-electrode is positioned at adjacent touch-control driven element gaps between electrodes place.At this moment, in order to guarantee do not have over against area between touch-control sensing electrode and the touch-control drive electrode, corresponding touch-control sensing electrode with each public electrode also will be made up of the touch-control sensing sub-electrode that a plurality of same columns arrange.
Particularly, in the common electrode layer design as shown in Figure 4, can also have many touch-control drive signal lines 7 between adjacent pixel unit in array base palte, each touch-control driven element electrode 41 of each touch-control drive electrode 4 is electrical connected by at least one touch-control drive signal line 7.In the specific implementation, each touch-control drive signal line 7 generally extends along the line direction of pixel cell, i.e. the gap location of each touch-control drive signal line 7 between the pixel cell of adjacent lines.
Preferably, in the specific implementation, each touch-control drive signal line 7 can with array base palte in the signal line arrange with layer; Each touch-control drive signal line 7 is electrical connected with corresponding each touch-control driven element electrode 51 by at least one via hole, like this, when the preparation array base palte, do not need to increase extra preparation section, only need can form the figure of touch-control drive signal line 7 and signal line by a composition technology, can save preparation cost, promote added value of product.
Further, because common electrode layer is generally made by the ITO material, and the resistance of ITO material is higher, after being electrical connected with each touch-control drive electrode 4 by the touch-control drive signal line 7 of metal preparation, be equivalent to ITO electrode and a plurality of metallic resistance parallel connection of being formed by the touch-control drive signal line, can reduce the resistance of touch-control drive electrode so to greatest extent, thus the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) when improving the electrodes transfer signal.
Particularly, can also have many common electrode signal lines 8 between adjacent pixel unit in array base palte, each public electrode 5 is electrical connected with common electrode signal line 8, provides common electrode signal by common electrode signal line 8 to each public electrode.In the specific implementation, each common electrode signal line 8 generally extends along line directions of pixel cell, as shown in Figure 4, i.e. and the gap location of each common electrode signal line 8 between the pixel cell of adjacent lines; Certainly, each common electrode signal line 8 can also extend along the column direction of pixel cell, and namely each common electrode signal line 8 runs through corresponding public electrode 5, does not specifically limit the bearing of trend of common electrode signal line 8 at this.
Preferably, when each common electrode signal line 8 extends along the line direction of pixel cell, each common electrode signal line 8 and signal line in the array base palte can be arranged with layer; Each common electrode signal line 8 is electrical connected with corresponding each public electrode 5 by at least one via hole.When each common electrode signal line 8 extends along the column direction of pixel cell, each common electrode signal line 8 and data signal line in the array base palte can be arranged with layer; Each common electrode signal line 8 is electrical connected with corresponding each public electrode 5 by at least one via hole.Like this, when the preparation array base palte, do not need to increase extra preparation section, only need can form the figure of common electrode signal line 8 and signal line or data signal line by a composition technology, can save preparation cost, promote added value of product.
Further, because common electrode layer is generally made by the ITO material, and the resistance of ITO material is higher, after being electrical connected with each public electrode 5 by the common electrode signal line 8 of metal preparation, be equivalent to ITO electrode and a plurality of metallic resistance parallel connection of being formed by the common electrode signal line, can reduce common electrode resistance to greatest extent like this, thus the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) when improving the electrodes transfer signal.
Preferably, for can be at the aperture opening ratio that guarantees large-sized touch display screen to greatest extent, dot structure in the array base palte of the touch-screen that the utility model embodiment provides can adopt structure as shown in Figure 6 in the specific implementation, in this structure, be a pixel cell group with the every adjacent two row pixel cells in the array base palte, having delegation that two signal lines are respectively these two row pixel cells between pixel cell at this two row provides the gated sweep signal, for example the Gate1 among Fig. 6 and Gate2.Can correspondingly can reduce the area be used to the black matrix that blocks TFT switch and grid line like this with the TFT switch designs in these adjacent two row pixel cells together, help to improve the aperture opening ratio of touch display screen.
Further, the dot structure of above-mentioned Fig. 6 can save the position of signal line between the adjacent pixel unit group by the signal line of the adjacent two row pixel cells of change and the position of TFT switch.Like this, as shown in Figure 6, just can each touch-control drive signal line 7 and each common electrode signal line (not shown among Fig. 6) be set the gap location between the adjacent pixel unit group, be the specifically gap location between the adjacent unit pixel group of each touch-control drive signal line 7, each common electrode signal line is the gap location between the adjacent pixel unit group except being provided with touch-control drive signal line 7 specifically.

Particularly, the position of touch-control sensing electrode is corresponding with the position of public electrode, can reduce the right opposite between touch-control sensing electrode and the touch-control drive electrode like this.In the specific implementation, because the precision of touch-screen is usually in the millimeter level, and the precision of LCDs shows as can be seen that usually at micron order required precision is far longer than the required precision of touch-control, therefore, general every touch-control sensing electrode and every public electrode all can corresponding multirow pixel cells.And, can be according to the touch-control precision of concrete needs, each bar touch-control sensing gaps between electrodes is set, only need namely to guarantee that each touch-control sensing electrode projection on array base palte is positioned at the public electrode region and gets final product, the width of each touch-control sensing electrode generally is not more than the width of public electrode, the at interval at least one public electrode setting of each touch-control sensing electrode, also can the touch-control sensing electrode and public electrode be set to concern one to one, do not do restriction at this.
And in the specific implementation, each touch-control sensing electrode is consistent with the shape of public electrode region, and the size of each orthogonal projection of touch-control sensing electrode on array base palte can equal the size of the public electrode region of correspondence; In order further to improve the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of touch-screen, can also be as shown in Figure 7, the orthogonal projection of touch-control sensing electrode 6 on array base palte is set to the size less than public electrode 5 regions of correspondence, shown in each bar touch-control sensing electrode Rx1, Rx2, Rx3 among Fig. 7, can draw by the analog computation result, under this kind structure, can increase the ratio of the mutual capacitance variable quantity that is caused by finger touch effectively, promote the touch-control accuracy.
And, in the specific implementation, each bar touch-control sensing electrode 6 can be designed to have planar electrode structure.Further, because the spacing between touch-control sensing electrode and the touch-control drive electrode is less, in order to guarantee that coupling capacitance improves the feasibility of touch-control in suitable scope, shown in Fig. 8 a and Fig. 8 b, each bar touch-control sensing electrode 6 can be designed to have the grid electrode structure, and the pattern of each touch-control sensing electrode is deceived matrix area and is covered, so just can utilize black matrix to hide the fenestral fabric of touch-control sensing electrode, can the aperture opening ratio of display not exerted an influence, can not influence the light transmission rate of display yet.Particularly, the mesh size of the grid electrode structure of each touch-control sensing electrode can be determined according to concrete needs, for example, can be set to shown in Fig. 8 a, be that the pattern of touch-control sensing electrode 6 is positioned at the gap location between each sub-pix unit (RGB) of forming pixel cell, can be set to shown in Fig. 8 b, namely the pattern of touch-control sensing electrode 6 gap location between pixel cell is not only done restriction at this yet.
Particularly, because the touch-control sensing electrode of the fenestral fabric that arranges at upper substrate can the occluded pixels unit, therefore, the material of touch-control sensing electrode can be specially transparent conductive material for example ITO or IZO, also metal material can be, when adopting metal material to make the touch-control sensing electrode, its resistance can be effectively reduced.
