Specifically, in the present embodiment, thepressure touch electrode 123 of thetouch display device 100 may be, but is not limited to, a self-capacitance electrode, so as to determine the position touched by the user by detecting coordinates through the self-capacitance electrode. Specifically, when the user's finger touches the screen of thetouch display device 100, the touch point can be accurately located through area sensing when the touch areas of thepressure touch electrode 124 and thepressure touch electrode 125 are different. For example, when the user's finger simultaneously touches thepressure touch electrode 124 and thepressure touch electrode 125, and the touch area of thepressure touch electrode 124 is smaller than the touch area of thepressure touch electrode 125, thetouch display device 100 determines that the position currently touched by the user is located on thepressure touch electrode 125, but is not limited thereto. When the finger of the user touches thepressure touch electrode 124 and thepressure touch electrode 125 simultaneously, and the touch area of thepressure touch electrode 124 is equal to the touch area of thepressure touch electrode 125, thetouch display device 100 determines that the position currently touched by the user is located on thepressure touch electrode 123 including the touch area covering protrusion, for example, when the protrusion of thepressure touch electrode 123 is located under the touch area of the user, thetouch display device 100 determines that the position currently touched by the user is located on thepressure touch electrode 125, but is not limited thereto.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, thepressure touch electrode 123 of thetouch display device 100 adopts a self-capacitance driving principle. Specifically, when a user presses the screen of thetouch display device 100 with a finger, the screen deforms slightly downward, so that the distance between thefirst polarizer 11 and thepressure touch electrode 123 is shortened, the current pressure can be rapidly calculated through a mathematical algorithm, and a signal detected by any one of thepressure touch electrodes 123 can be compared with a signal detected by the adjacentpressure touch electrode 123, and the area of the touch area of the finger of the user is sensed, so that the position and the force pressed by the finger of the user can be determined.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, theglass protection plate 22 is adhered and fixed on an end surface of thefirst polarizer 11 away from thedisplay module 13 through an opticaladhesive layer 23.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the user's finger presses theglass protection plate 22, theglass protection plate 22 is deformed slightly due to the force applied thereto, so that the distance between theglass protection plate 22 and thepressure touch electrodes 123 is reduced, and the current pressure can be rapidly calculated by using a mathematical algorithm, and the signal detected by any one of thepressure touch electrodes 123 can be compared with the signal detected by the adjacentpressure touch electrode 123, and the area of the touch area of the user's finger is sensed, so that the position and the strength pressed by the user's finger can be determined.

Specifically, the user may also pop up and display the F1-F12 keys by pressing the menu icons of the touch display device 100,100 'with force, specifically pop up and display the F1-F12 keys when thetouch display device 100, 100' detects that the pressure is greater than the preset pressure value, so as to control the terminal 200 to implement corresponding operations by pressing different keys and combinations thereof, so as to replace the physical keys of the F1-F12 in thekeyboard 220, thereby enhancing the interest of the human-computer interaction, but not limited thereto.
