It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a touch display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is an enlarged schematic structural view of an area S1 in fig. 1, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the touch display panel includes a plurality oftouch electrode blocks 10 and a plurality oftouch electrode lines 20. Eachtouch electrode block 10 is electrically connected to at least onetouch electrode line 20, and differenttouch electrode blocks 10 are connected to differenttouch electrode lines 20. The display area edge P of the touch display panel includes a first irregular edge P1. The area surrounded by the display area edge P is the display area of the touch display panel. The display area edge P includes a plurality of straight line edges and at least one curved line edge, and the first shaped edge P1 is a curved line edge among the display area edges P. The plurality oftouch electrode blocks 10 include a plurality of firsttouch electrode blocks 11 and a plurality of secondtouch electrode blocks 12, that is, thetouch electrode blocks 10 include two types, i.e., a firsttouch electrode block 11 and a secondtouch electrode block 12. The firsttouch electrode blocks 11 are thetouch electrode blocks 10 closest to the first special-shaped edge P1, no othertouch electrode block 10 is arranged between one first special-shaped edge P1 and the firsttouch electrode block 11 closest to the first special-shaped edge, the secondtouch electrode blocks 12 are the othertouch electrode blocks 10 except the firsttouch electrode block 11, and the firsttouch electrode blocks 11 are arranged between the secondtouch electrode blocks 12 and the first special-shaped edge P1. The overlapping area of the firsttouch electrode block 11 and the plurality oftouch electrode lines 20 is a first area, the overlapping area of the secondtouch electrode block 12 and the plurality oftouch electrode lines 20 is a second area, and the first area is larger than the second area.
Exemplarily, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the outer edge of the firsttouch electrode block 11 also includes a curved edge, and the curved edge of the firsttouch electrode block 11 is disposed corresponding to the first irregularly shaped edge P1, the outer edge of the secondtouch electrode block 12 includes only a straight edge, and the outer edge of the secondtouch electrode block 12 is rectangular in shape. The area of the pattern surrounded by the outer edges of the firsttouch electrode blocks 11 is smaller than the area of the pattern surrounded by the outer edges of the secondtouch electrode blocks 12. Therefore, the area of the hollow portion in thefirst touch electrode 11 is smaller than the area of the hollow portion in thesecond touch electrode 12, so that the difference between the area of thefirst touch electrode 11 and the area of thesecond touch electrode 12 can be reduced, and the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel can be improved. In the embodiments of the present invention, the hollow areas of the touch electrode blocks 10 (i.e., the firsttouch electrode block 11 and the second touch electrode block 12) refer to areas of hollow areas at overlapping positions of thetouch electrode blocks 10 and thetouch electrode lines 20.
The touch display panel of the embodiment of the invention comprises a plurality of touch electrode blocks, wherein most of the touch electrode blocks are second touch electrode blocks, and the small part of the touch electrode blocks are first touch electrode blocks. The first touch electrode block is adjacent to the first special-shaped edge of the display area, and the second touch electrode block is other touch electrode blocks except the first touch electrode block. The area of the graph formed by the outer edges of the first touch electrode blocks is smaller than the area of the graph formed by the outer edges of the second touch electrode blocks. According to the embodiment of the invention, the overlapping area of the first touch electrode block and the plurality of touch electrode wires is larger than the overlapping area of the second touch electrode block and the plurality of touch electrode wires, so that the difference between the area of the first touch electrode block and the area of the second touch electrode block can be reduced, and the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel is improved. And because the number of the first touch electrode blocks occupies a smaller proportion in all the touch electrode blocks, the parasitic capacitance between the touch electrode line and the touch electrode blocks cannot be obviously increased, and the load on the touch electrode line cannot be obviously increased.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged schematic structural view of an area S2 in fig. 2, and fig. 4 is an enlarged schematic structural view of an area S3 in fig. 2, and referring to fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4, the firsttouch electrode block 11 includes the firsthollow area 31. The secondtouch electrode block 12 includes a secondhollow area 32. The extending direction of the firsthollow area 31 and the extending direction of the secondhollow area 32 are both parallel to the extending direction of thetouch electrode line 20. The area of the firsthollow area 31 is smaller than the area of the secondhollow area 32. The firsthollow areas 31 overlap thetouch electrode lines 20, and the secondhollow areas 32 overlap the touch electrode lines 20.

Onetouch electrode block 10 tends to cover a plurality of sub-pixels, and thus, the macro level herein refers to the magnitude of thetouch electrode block 10, and the micro level refers to the magnitude of the sub-pixels.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the touch display panel includes a plurality ofdata lines 42 and a plurality ofscan lines 41, the plurality ofdata lines 42 and the plurality ofscan lines 41 intersect to form a plurality ofpixel units 43, eachpixel unit 43 refers to a sub-pixel, and the plurality of sub-pixels may form one pixel. The extending directions of thetouch electrode lines 20 and the data lines 42 are the same, and the firsthollow areas 31 and the secondhollow areas 32 are located between twoadjacent scan lines 41. The overlapping positions of the touch electrode blocks 10 (i.e., the firsttouch electrode block 11 and the second touch electrode block 12) and thescanning lines 41 have no hollow area. Since the first hollow-outareas 31 and the second hollow-outareas 32 are located between twoadjacent scanning lines 41, thescanning lines 41 arranged along the extending direction of thetouch electrode line 20 divide the hollow-out area on the firsttouch electrode block 11 into a plurality of discrete first hollow-outareas 31, and thescanning lines 41 arranged along the extending direction of thetouch electrode line 20 divide the hollow-out area on the secondtouch electrode block 12 into a plurality of discrete second hollow-outareas 32. Since the material (e.g., the indium tin oxide material) of the firsttouch electrode block 11 exists between two adjacent firsthollow areas 31, the material of the firsttouch electrode block 11 existing between two adjacent firsthollow areas 31 can enhance the mechanical strength of the firsttouch electrode block 11. Since the material (e.g., the indium tin oxide material) of the secondtouch electrode block 12 exists between two adjacent secondhollow areas 32, the material of the secondtouch electrode block 12 existing between two adjacent secondhollow areas 32 can enhance the mechanical strength of the secondtouch electrode block 12.

In the extending direction perpendicular to thetouch electrode line 20, the width of the secondhollow area 32 is D2, and the width of the secondhollow area 32 is the maximum distance between any two points on the edge of the secondhollow area 32 along the extending direction perpendicular to thetouch electrode line 20.

In the extending direction of thetouch electrode line 20, the length of the secondhollow area 32 is H2, and the length of the secondhollow area 32 is the maximum distance between any two points on the edge of the secondhollow area 32 in the extending direction of thetouch electrode line 20. H1 and H2 satisfy: h1 < H2. It should be noted that the shapes of the firsthollow area 31 and the secondhollow area 32 shown in the embodiment of the present invention are only an example, and in other embodiments, the firsthollow area 31 and the second hollow area may also have shapes such as an ellipse, a diamond, and the like, as long as the area of the firsthollow area 31 is smaller than the area of the secondhollow area 32.
Fig. 5 is another schematic enlarged structure diagram of an area S1 in fig. 1, fig. 6 is a schematic enlarged structure diagram of an area S4 in fig. 5, fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional structure along AA 'in fig. 6, fig. 8 is a schematic enlarged structure diagram of an area S5 in fig. 5, and fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional structure along BB' in fig. 8, referring to fig. 5, fig. 6, fig. 7, fig. 8, and fig. 9, where a hollow area is not located at an overlapping position of the firsttouch electrode block 11 and thetouch electrode line 20, and a hollow area is located at an overlapping position of the secondtouch electrode block 12 and thetouch electrode line 20. The area of the hollow in the firsttouch electrode block 11 is smaller than the area of the hollow in the secondtouch electrode block 12, so that the difference between the area of the firsttouch electrode block 11 and the area of the secondtouch electrode block 12 can be reduced, and the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel is improved.
Optionally, referring to fig. 6 and 7, a position of a vertical projection of the plurality oftouch electrode lines 20 overlapped with the firsttouch electrode block 11 on a plane where the firsttouch electrode block 11 is located is afirst area 51, and the firsttouch electrode block 11 has no hollow area in thefirst area 51. Referring to fig. 8 and 9, a position of a vertical projection of the at least onetouch electrode line 20 overlapped with the secondtouch electrode block 12 on a plane where the secondtouch electrode block 12 is located is asecond area 52, and the secondtouch electrode block 12 is provided with a thirdhollow area 33 at thesecond area 52. The thirdhollow area 33 in fig. 8 may be the same as the secondhollow area 32 in fig. 4, and the thirdhollow area 33 in fig. 8 may also be different from the secondhollow area 32 in fig. 4. In the implementation of the present invention, since there is no hollow area at the overlapping position of the firsttouch electrode block 11 and thetouch electrode line 20, the material of the firsttouch electrode block 11 is retained to the maximum, so that the area of the firsttouch electrode block 11 is increased to the maximum, the difference between the area of the firsttouch electrode block 11 and the area of the secondtouch electrode block 12 is reduced, and the touch sensitivity of the touch display panel is improved. It should be noted that the hollow-out area in the secondtouch electrode block 12 shown in fig. 5 is schematically shown from a macro scale, and the third hollow-outarea 33 shown in fig. 8 is schematically shown from a micro scale.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, 8, and 9, a third hollow-outarea 33 exists at a position where a vertical projection of any one of thetouch electrode lines 20 overlapped with the secondtouch electrode block 12 on a plane where the secondtouch electrode block 20 is located. Since the secondtouch electrode block 12 is hollowed out in the overlapping region with anytouch electrode line 20, the parasitic capacitance between thetouch electrode line 20 and the secondtouch electrode block 12 is reduced, and the load on thetouch electrode line 20 is reduced.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 6 and 8, the touch display panel includes a plurality ofdata lines 42 and a plurality ofscan lines 41, the plurality ofdata lines 42 and the plurality ofscan lines 41 intersect to form a plurality ofpixel units 43, eachpixel unit 43 refers to a sub-pixel, and the plurality of sub-pixels may form one pixel.

The secondtouch electrode block 12 has no hollow area at the overlapping position with thescanning line 41.

Since the material (e.g., an indium tin oxide material) of the secondtouch electrode block 12 exists between two adjacent thirdhollow areas 33, the material of the secondtouch electrode block 12 existing between two adjacent thirdhollow areas 33 can enhance the mechanical strength of the secondtouch electrode block 12.
