Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The shapes and sizes of the various elements in the drawings are not to scale and are merely intended to illustrate the invention.
The embedded touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises an array substrate 10 and an opposite substrate 20 which are oppositely arranged, wherein the array substrate 10 comprises a substrate 1, a self-capacitance electrode layer 2, an insulating layer 3, a transparent shielding electrode layer 4 and a pixel unit layer 5 which are sequentially stacked on one side of the substrate 1 facing the opposite substrate 20, and a flat layer 6 is arranged between the transparent shielding electrode layer 4 and the pixel unit layer 5; wherein, the side of the substrate base plate 1 opposite to the opposite base plate 20 is a touch control surface.
According to the embedded touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention, the self-capacitance electrode layer, the insulating layer, the transparent shielding electrode layer and the pixel unit layer are sequentially stacked on one side, facing the opposite substrate, of the substrate of the array substrate in the touch screen by using the self-capacitance principle, and the touch detection signal loaded by the self-capacitance is isolated from the display signal by using the transparent shielding electrode insulated from the self-capacitance electrode, so that the interference between the touch detection signal and the display signal is avoided, the simultaneous execution of touch detection and display driving can be realized, and the better display and touch effects are ensured.
Further, since mutual capacitance is generated between the self-capacitance electrode layer and the transparent shielding electrode layer, which affects the touch detection effect, in order to reduce the mutual capacitance between the self-capacitance electrode layer and the transparent shielding electrode layer, in the embedded touch screen provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer is made of an organic insulating material. This is because the organic insulating material has a low dielectric constant and a large thickness, and therefore the material of the insulating layer is an organic insulating material.
Further, in order to better reduce the mutual capacitance between the self-capacitance electrode layer and the transparent shielding electrode layer, in the in-cell touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention, the dielectric constant of the material of the insulating layer is generally less than 3.5, the thickness of the insulating layer is generally greater than 2 μm, and the effect of reducing the mutual capacitance is better.
Further, in the in-cell touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention, the insulating layer may be made of an inorganic film layer such as SiN or SiO.
Further, in the in-cell touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 2, the pixel unit layer 5 includes a plurality of pixel units 01 distributed in an array, and each pixel unit 01 includes a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and a blue sub-pixel B; as shown in fig. 3, the self-capacitance electrode layer 2 includes a plurality of self-capacitance electrodes 02 independent from each other, each self-capacitance electrode 02 is connected to the touch detection chip IC through a wire 04, and in order not to affect the aperture ratio, the orthographic projection of the self-capacitance electrode 02 on the substrate 1 is located in the gap between the pixel units 01; in order to reduce the resistance value of the self-capacitance electrode, the material of the self-capacitance electrode layer 2 is a metal material, and in order to further reduce the mutual capacitance between the self-capacitance electrode layer and the transparent shielding electrode layer, the respective capacitance electrodes 02 are provided to have a grid-like structure.
Further, in order to further reduce the mutual capacitance between the self-capacitance electrode layer and the transparent shielding electrode layer, the grid density in the grid-shaped structure of the self-capacitance electrode can be reduced, so that in the embedded touch screen provided in the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 2, each grid 001 in the grid-shaped structure of the self-capacitance electrode 02 corresponds to a plurality of pixel units 01, each pixel unit 01 includes a plurality of sub-pixels (a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and a blue sub-pixel B), the length and width of each grid 001 corresponds to at least one sub-pixel size, and each self-capacitance electrode 02 is connected to the touch detection chip IC through a wire 04.
Further, each grid in the grid-like structure of the self-capacitance electrode corresponds to a plurality of pixel units, and when the length and width of each grid are both more than 300um, although the effect of reducing mutual capacitance is achieved, the grid density is reduced to cause the problem that the grid is visible and the visual effect is poor, so in order to improve the visual effect, in the in-cell touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 2, the self-capacitance electrode layer 2 further includes a floating electrode 03 insulated from the self-capacitance electrode 02, and the floating electrode 03 is located in each grid 001 in the grid-like structure of the self-capacitance electrode 02. Therefore, mutual capacitance is not increased, and grid density can be improved, so that visual effect is not deteriorated.
Therefore, in order to further increase the grid density, in the in-cell touch screen provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the floating electrode 03 has a grid-like structure.
Further, in order not to affect the aperture ratio, in the in-cell touch panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the orthographic projection of the floating electrode 03 on the substrate base plate 1 is located at the gap between the pixel units 01.
Further, since the material of the self-capacitance electrode is a metal material, and the metal has a high light reflectivity, the in-cell touch screen provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes an anti-reflection layer located between the substrate and the self-capacitance electrode layer, and an orthogonal projection of the self-capacitance electrode on the substrate is located within an orthogonal projection range of the anti-reflection layer on the substrate. The reflection of the metal grid-shaped structure to the external environment light can be reduced or even eliminated by forming the anti-reflection layer between the self-capacitance electrode layer and the substrate, so that the influence of the reflected external environment light on the display effect of the embedded touch screen provided by the embodiment of the invention is avoided, and the shadow elimination problem can be effectively solved.
For example, in the in-cell touch screen provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the anti-reflection layer may include molybdenum oxide and copper oxide. At this time, the anti-reflection layer may be formed by introducing oxygen into the metal sputtering cavity, and of course, the embodiment of the present invention includes but is not limited thereto, and the material of the anti-reflection layer may also be other materials.

In a specific implementation, in the in-cell touch screen provided in the embodiment of the invention, the material of the transparent shielding electrode layer may be ITO, a nano silver wire, or the like, which is not limited herein.
In the embedded touch screen provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, a touch sensing chip IC on the same layer as the self-capacitance electrode layer 2 is further disposed on the substrate 1 of the array substrate 10, so that the respective capacitance electrodes 02 can be directly connected to the touch sensing chip IC without disposing leads; in addition, the array substrate is a touch surface, namely the array substrate faces a user, and the self-capacitance electrode layer is also positioned on the array substrate, so that a protective cover plate does not need to be arranged on the array substrate.
In practical implementation, as shown in fig. 1, the in-cell touch panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a liquid crystal layer 7 located between the array substrate 10 and the opposite substrate 20, and a backlight 13 located on a side of the polarizer 9 opposite to the glass substrate 11.
In the in-cell touch panel according to the embodiment of the invention, a user can view the touch panel from the array substrate side or the opposite substrate side.
