背景技术Background technique
触摸屏是目前最新的信息输入设备,它能简单、方便、自然地实现人机交互,为人们提供一种全新的多媒体人机交互方法,由于其具有触摸反应灵敏、支持多点触摸等优点,极大地满足了人们的视觉和触觉的享受。Touch screen is the latest information input device at present. It can realize human-computer interaction simply, conveniently and naturally, and provide people with a brand-new method of multimedia human-computer interaction. The earth satisfies people's visual and tactile enjoyment.
通常,触摸屏至少包括用于显示的显示屏和用于触控的触控屏。目前,触摸屏按照组成结构可以分为:外挂式触控屏(Add onMode Touch Panel)、覆盖表面式触控屏(On Cell Touch Panel)以及内嵌式触控屏(In Cell Touch Panel),即在显示屏的内部、表面或外部做出感应电极Rx、驱动电极Tx。尽管触控屏的结构不同,但均包括有感应电极Rx和驱动电极Tx,并分别连接相应的感应信号线和驱动信号线。在人体触摸触控屏的过程中,通过感应电极Rx和驱动电极Tx之间的电场变化,从而“感知”人体的触碰来实现触控功能。Generally, a touch screen includes at least a display screen for display and a touch screen for touch control. At present, according to the structure of the touch screen, it can be divided into: Add onMode Touch Panel, On Cell Touch Panel and In Cell Touch Panel. Sensing electrodes Rx and driving electrodes Tx are formed inside, on the surface or outside of the display screen. Although the structures of the touch screens are different, they all include sensing electrodes Rx and driving electrodes Tx, and are respectively connected to corresponding sensing signal lines and driving signal lines. When the human body touches the touch screen, the touch function is realized by "sensing" the touch of the human body through the change of the electric field between the sensing electrode Rx and the driving electrode Tx.
作为当今液晶显示领域的佼佼者,高级超维场转换(ADvancedSuper Dimension Switch,ADSDS,简称ADS)模式的液晶显示装置凭借其宽广的视角、更高的对比率、更高的分辨率及更明亮的颜色呈现,逐渐被消费者所追捧。在具有触控功能的ADS模式的液晶显示装置中,通常采用电容互感式“感知”触控,因此通常将感应电极Rx与驱动电极Tx设置为在正投影方向上至少部分重叠的交叉式,但这种结构在实现“感知”的同时,为了保证正常的触控电容变化率,要求感应电极Rx和驱动电极Tx之间不能有太大的正对面积,以保证二者之间的节点电容满足触控要求。但是,目前通常采用的感应电极Rx和驱动电极Tx的排列方式,容易导致感应电极Rx与驱动电极Tx之间的耦合电容过大,影响触控的灵敏度;而且,感应电极Rx通常沿黑矩阵的纵边(就目前的彩膜基板而言,纵边的宽度小于横边的宽度)设置,由于较窄的黑矩阵无法完全遮挡感应电极Rx的图形,导致在正常显示情况下出现感应电极Rx对图像显示造成阻碍,影响显示效果。As a leader in the field of liquid crystal display today, the liquid crystal display device of the Advanced Super Dimension Switch (ADSDS, referred to as ADS) mode relies on its wide viewing angle, higher contrast ratio, higher resolution and brighter The color presentation is gradually sought after by consumers. In an ADS mode liquid crystal display device with a touch function, capacitive mutual inductance is usually used to "sense" touch, so the sensing electrode Rx and the driving electrode Tx are usually arranged in a cross pattern that at least partially overlaps in the front projection direction, but This structure realizes "sensing", and in order to ensure the normal touch capacitance change rate, it is required that there should not be too much facing area between the sensing electrode Rx and the driving electrode Tx, so as to ensure that the node capacitance between the two satisfies Touch requirements. However, the arrangement of sensing electrodes Rx and driving electrodes Tx commonly used at present may easily lead to excessive coupling capacitance between sensing electrodes Rx and driving electrodes Tx, which affects touch sensitivity; moreover, sensing electrodes Rx are usually arranged along the black matrix The vertical side (as far as the current color filter substrate is concerned, the width of the vertical side is smaller than the width of the horizontal side) is set, because the narrow black matrix cannot completely block the pattern of the sensing electrode Rx, resulting in a pair of sensing electrodes Rx under normal display conditions. The image display is obstructed and affects the display effect.
因此,如何提高触控的灵敏度,改善图像显示效果,成为目前亟待解决的技术问题。Therefore, how to improve the touch sensitivity and improve the image display effect has become a technical problem to be solved urgently.

一种显示面板,该显示面板包括阵列基板和彩膜基板,其中,所述阵列基板中设置有第一电极和第二电极,所述彩膜基板中设置有第三电极,所述第一电极和所述第二电极设于同一层,所述第一电极和所述第二电极依次间隔设置且彼此电性隔离,所述第二电极与所述第三电极在空间上对应设置。A display panel, comprising an array substrate and a color filter substrate, wherein a first electrode and a second electrode are arranged in the array substrate, a third electrode is arranged in the color filter substrate, and the first electrode The first electrode and the second electrode are disposed on the same layer as the second electrode, and the first electrode and the second electrode are sequentially arranged at intervals and electrically isolated from each other, and the second electrode and the third electrode are arranged correspondingly in space.
一种显示装置,包括显示面板,其中,所述显示面板采用上述的显示面板。A display device includes a display panel, wherein the above-mentioned display panel is used for the display panel.
实施例1:Example 1:
本实施例提供一种显示面板,该显示面板具有内嵌式触控屏,可用于ADS模式的液晶显示装置。This embodiment provides a display panel, which has an embedded touch screen and can be used in an ADS mode liquid crystal display device.
如图1、2所示,该显示面板包括阵列基板和彩膜基板,其中,阵列基板1包括第一基板11以及设置于第一基板11上方的第一电极13和第二电极14,彩膜基板2包括第二基板21以及设置于第二基板21上方的第三电极24,第一电极13和第二电极14设于同一层,第一电极13和第二电极14依次间隔平行设置且彼此电性隔离,第二电极14与第三电极24在空间上对应设置。在本实施例中,第一电极13可以分时复用为显示用的部分公共电极Vcom和触控用的驱动电极Tx,第二电极14可以作为显示用的、为阵列基板提供公共电压的部分公共电极Vcom,第三电极24可以作为触控用的感应电极Rx。As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the display panel includes an array substrate and a color filter substrate, wherein the array substrate 1 includes a first substrate 11 and a first electrode 13 and a second electrode 14 arranged above the first substrate 11, and the color filter The substrate 2 includes a second substrate 21 and a third electrode 24 arranged above the second substrate 21, the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are arranged on the same layer, and the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are arranged in parallel with each other at intervals. Electrically isolated, the second electrode 14 and the third electrode 24 are arranged correspondingly in space. In this embodiment, the first electrode 13 can be time-divisionally multiplexed as part of the common electrode Vcom for display and the driving electrode Tx for touch control, and the second electrode 14 can be used as a part for display and providing a common voltage for the array substrate. The common electrode Vcom and the third electrode 24 can be used as sensing electrodes Rx for touch control.
如图2所示,第一电极13包括多个排列成行且相互绝缘的子电极,处于同一列的多个子电极彼此电连接,处于不同列的多个子电极彼此电性隔离;第二电极14的延伸方向与第一电极13的子电极的行排列方向相同,多个第二电极14彼此电连接。在本实施例中,排列方向即指,沿某一方向,子电极具有连续的分布,对应到图2中,第一电极13中子电极的排列方向即指子电极沿着相邻的第二电极14之间形成的间隙区排列的方向。具体的,如图2所示,处于同一列的多个子电极通过第一电极连接线131彼此电连接,第一电极连接线131的延伸方向与第一电极的子电极的行排列方向垂直(图2中所示的第一电极连接线131还示出了显示区边沿的布线方向)。As shown in Figure 2, the first electrode 13 includes a plurality of sub-electrodes arranged in rows and insulated from each other, a plurality of sub-electrodes in the same column are electrically connected to each other, and a plurality of sub-electrodes in different columns are electrically isolated from each other; the second electrode 14 The extending direction is the same as the row arrangement direction of the sub-electrodes of the first electrodes 13 , and the plurality of second electrodes 14 are electrically connected to each other. In this embodiment, the arrangement direction means that along a certain direction, the sub-electrodes have a continuous distribution. Corresponding to FIG. The direction in which the gap regions formed between the electrodes 14 are aligned. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of sub-electrodes in the same column are electrically connected to each other through a first electrode connection line 131, and the extension direction of the first electrode connection line 131 is perpendicular to the row arrangement direction of the sub-electrodes of the first electrode (Fig. The first electrode connection line 131 shown in 2 also shows the wiring direction of the edge of the display area).
在本实施例中,如图1所示,彩膜基板2还包括黑矩阵22和彩膜层23,黑矩阵22为由宽度不等的长条(包括纵边和横边)交错形成的网格结构,横边的宽度大于纵边的宽度,第三电极24设置于横边的上方、且远离彩膜基板的黑矩阵22一侧,多个第三电极24彼此电连接。如图2和图5所示,第三电极24通过第三电极连接线241(图2中所示的第三电极连接线241还示出了显示区边沿的布线方向)彼此电连接。由于此时第三电极24设置在黑矩阵22的较宽的横边上,黑矩阵22能使得第三电极24完全落在其正投影方向内,黑矩阵22能完全遮挡感应电极Rx的图形,因此能减小甚至消除感应电极因遮挡到正常显示区域而可能造成的对显示画面的阻碍的不良。In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , the color filter substrate 2 further includes a black matrix 22 and a color filter layer 23 , and the black matrix 22 is a network formed by interlacing long strips (including vertical and horizontal sides) of different widths. Grid structure, the width of the horizontal side is greater than the width of the vertical side, the third electrode 24 is arranged above the horizontal side and away from the side of the black matrix 22 of the color filter substrate, and the plurality of third electrodes 24 are electrically connected to each other. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 , the third electrodes 24 are electrically connected to each other through third electrode connection lines 241 (the third electrode connection lines 241 shown in FIG. 2 also show the wiring direction of the edge of the display area). Since the third electrode 24 is arranged on the wider lateral side of the black matrix 22 at this time, the black matrix 22 can make the third electrode 24 fall completely in its orthographic projection direction, and the black matrix 22 can completely block the pattern of the sensing electrode Rx, Therefore, it is possible to reduce or even eliminate the defect of obstructing the display screen that may be caused by the sensing electrodes blocking the normal display area.
另外,在本实施例的显示面板中,如图1所示,彩膜基板2和阵列基板1之间设置有液晶层3,液晶层3包括多个液晶分子31。In addition, in the display panel of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , a liquid crystal layer 3 is disposed between the color filter substrate 2 and the array substrate 1 , and the liquid crystal layer 3 includes a plurality of liquid crystal molecules 31 .
如图5所示,阵列基板1包括多条数据线18,第一电极连接线131与数据线18依次间隔设置、且数据线18的延伸方向与第一电极连接线131的延伸方向相同。为了简化工艺,在阵列基板的制备过程中,第一电极连接线131与数据线18同层设置,第一电极连接线131与数据线18采用相同的材料、在同一构图工艺中形成。例如,第一电极连接线131可以采用钼、铝等金属形成。As shown in FIG. 5 , the array substrate 1 includes a plurality of data lines 18 , the first electrode connection lines 131 and the data lines 18 are sequentially arranged at intervals, and the extension direction of the data lines 18 is the same as that of the first electrode connection lines 131 . In order to simplify the process, in the preparation process of the array substrate, the first electrode connection lines 131 and the data lines 18 are arranged on the same layer, and the first electrode connection lines 131 and the data lines 18 are formed using the same material and in the same patterning process. For example, the first electrode connecting wire 131 may be formed of metals such as molybdenum and aluminum.
如图5所示,阵列基板1中还设置有栅线17,栅线17与第一电极连接线131和数据线18交叉设置并将阵列基板1划分为多个子像素区域,子像素区域内设置有薄膜晶体管12(薄膜晶体管为阵列基板1的一部分,在图1中未具体示出),同一数据线18两侧的子像素区域中,相邻行子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管12对角设置,且该对角设置的薄膜晶体管12的源极与同一数据线18电连接。同时,为了实现逐行扫描显示,同一数据线18两侧的子像素区域中,相邻行子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管12的栅极与不同的栅线17电连接。As shown in FIG. 5 , the array substrate 1 is also provided with a gate line 17, which is arranged to intersect with the first electrode connection line 131 and the data line 18, and divides the array substrate 1 into a plurality of sub-pixel regions. There are thin film transistors 12 (the thin film transistors are part of the array substrate 1, not specifically shown in FIG. 1 ), and in the sub-pixel regions on both sides of the same data line 18, the thin-film transistors 12 in the sub-pixel regions of adjacent rows are arranged diagonally , and the sources of the diagonally arranged thin film transistors 12 are electrically connected to the same data line 18 . Meanwhile, in order to realize progressive scanning display, in the sub-pixel regions on both sides of the same data line 18 , the gates of the thin film transistors 12 in the sub-pixel regions of adjacent rows are electrically connected to different gate lines 17 .
也即,在本实施例中,阵列基板为双栅型(Dual Gate)结构,与现有技术中单栅型结构中处于不同列子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管的源极均需分别各连接一根数据线相比,该结构中只需在相邻的两列子像素区域之间设置一根数据线,并将该数据线分别与位于其两侧的子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管的源极电连接即可,因此可以很巧妙地将未连接薄膜晶体管的数据线作为电极连接线(即本实施例中的第一电极连接线131,可视为冗余的数据线结构)使用;而且,由于电极连接线与数据线同层设置,电极连接线与数据线采用相同的材料、在同一构图工艺中形成,因此不用额外增加工艺步骤即可制备完成该结构的阵列基板。That is to say, in this embodiment, the array substrate has a dual-gate structure, and the sources of the thin-film transistors in different sub-pixel regions in the single-gate structure in the prior art need to be connected to one respectively. Compared with the data line, in this structure, only one data line needs to be set between two adjacent columns of sub-pixel regions, and the data line is electrically connected to the source electrodes of the thin film transistors in the sub-pixel regions on both sides of the data line respectively. Therefore, the data lines not connected to the thin film transistors can be cleverly used as electrode connection lines (that is, the first electrode connection line 131 in this embodiment, which can be regarded as a redundant data line structure); and, because the electrodes The connection lines and the data lines are arranged on the same layer, and the electrode connection lines and the data lines are made of the same material and formed in the same patterning process, so the array substrate with this structure can be prepared without adding additional process steps.
同时,这里应该理解的是,本实施例中的行和列、横边和纵边为正交设置、并且相对设置,在实际应用中对其具体方向不做限定,只要保证行和列、横边和纵边分别为正交设置即可。At the same time, it should be understood here that the rows and columns, horizontal sides and vertical sides in this embodiment are arranged orthogonally and relative to each other, and their specific directions are not limited in practical applications, as long as the rows and columns, horizontal sides and vertical sides are ensured The side and the vertical side can be set to be orthogonal respectively.
在本实施例中,参考图5,阵列基板的子像素区域内还设置有像素电极16(像素电极为阵列基板1的一部分,在图1中未具体示出),像素电极16与该子像素区域内的薄膜晶体管12的漏极电连接;第一电极13和第二电极14设置于像素电极16的上方,且第二电极14与像素电极16在正投影方向上至少部分重叠。在本实施例中,像素电极16为狭缝状。在本实施例中,作为公共电极Vcom的一条第二电极14可以覆盖多个子像素区域,而且,第二电极14为一部分公共电极,第一电极13在显示时间段为另一部分公共电极,该两部分公共电极共同形成一个接近板状电极层。在本实施例中,公共电极与像素电极一起将电场提供给夹在二者之间的液晶层3;并根据增加到各子像素区域中的像素电极上的电位来驱动液晶分子31,从而实现图像显示。由于公共电极与像素电极16均设置在阵列基板1中,因此,可以通过狭缝电极边缘所产生的电场以及狭缝电极层与板状电极层间产生的电场形成多维电场。In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 5 , a pixel electrode 16 is also provided in the sub-pixel area of the array substrate (the pixel electrode is a part of the array substrate 1, not specifically shown in FIG. 1 ), and the pixel electrode 16 is connected to the sub-pixel The drains of the thin film transistors 12 in the region are electrically connected; the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are disposed above the pixel electrode 16 , and the second electrode 14 and the pixel electrode 16 at least partially overlap in the orthographic projection direction. In this embodiment, the pixel electrodes 16 are in the shape of slits. In this embodiment, one second electrode 14 serving as the common electrode Vcom can cover multiple sub-pixel regions, and the second electrode 14 is a part of the common electrode, and the first electrode 13 is another part of the common electrode during the display period. Part of the common electrodes together form a nearly plate-shaped electrode layer. In this embodiment, the common electrode and the pixel electrode provide an electric field to the liquid crystal layer 3 sandwiched between them; and the liquid crystal molecules 31 are driven according to the potential added to the pixel electrode in each sub-pixel area, thereby realizing Image display. Since the common electrode and the pixel electrode 16 are both disposed in the array substrate 1 , a multi-dimensional electric field can be formed by the electric field generated at the edge of the slit electrode and the electric field generated between the slit electrode layer and the plate electrode layer.
容易理解的是,在薄膜晶体管中由于含有作为控制端的栅极以及作为输入/出端的源/漏极,为保证各端口的正常工作,栅极与源/漏极之间可以设置有栅绝缘层,薄膜晶体管与像素电极之间可以设置有钝化层或平坦层。相应的,在本实施例中,第一电极连接线131与第一电极13和第二电极14之间设置有绝缘层(图4、5中略去而未示出),绝缘层在对应着第一电极13的区域开设有绝缘层过孔15(Via Hole),第一电极连接线131在对应着第一电极13的区域分设有至少两条并联连接的支线,该支线与第一电极13通过绝缘层过孔15电连接;第一电极连接线131在对应着第二电极14的区域仅设置一条支线,该支线与第二电极14通过绝缘层电性隔离。如图4所示,在第一电极连接线131在对应着第一电极13(驱动电极Tx)的区域,使用全区域的导通方式或者多根支线的连接方式(在图4中只示出3根支线),使得驱动电极Tx内部本身的阻值降低;而在对应着穿越第二电极14(公共电极Vcom)的区域,只用一根或很少根支线路进行电连接,以减小驱动电极Tx的对地电容。另外,在图4中,每一支线与驱动电极Tx电连接时仅通过一个绝缘层过孔15;当然,也可以如图5所示,每一支线与驱动电极Tx电连接时通过两个绝缘层过孔15,甚至通过更多的绝缘层过孔。It is easy to understand that since the thin film transistor contains the gate as the control terminal and the source/drain as the input/output terminal, in order to ensure the normal operation of each port, a gate insulating layer can be provided between the gate and the source/drain , a passivation layer or a planarization layer may be provided between the thin film transistor and the pixel electrode. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, an insulating layer (omitted and not shown in FIGS. An insulating layer via hole 15 (Via Hole) is opened in the area of an electrode 13, and the first electrode connection line 131 is provided with at least two branch lines connected in parallel in the area corresponding to the first electrode 13, and the branch line and the first electrode 13 pass through The insulating layer via hole 15 is electrically connected; the first electrode connection line 131 has only one branch line in the area corresponding to the second electrode 14 , and the branch line is electrically isolated from the second electrode 14 through the insulating layer. As shown in FIG. 4, in the area corresponding to the first electrode 13 (driving electrode Tx) of the first electrode connection line 131, the conduction mode of the whole area or the connection mode of multiple branch lines (only shown in FIG. 4 3 branch lines), so that the internal resistance of the drive electrode Tx is reduced; and in the area corresponding to the second electrode 14 (common electrode Vcom), only one or a few branch lines are used for electrical connection, so as to reduce Capacitance to ground of drive electrode Tx. In addition, in FIG. 4, each branch line is electrically connected to the driving electrode Tx through only one insulating layer via hole 15; of course, as shown in FIG. 5, each branch line is electrically connected to the driving electrode Tx through two insulating layer via holes Layer vias 15, and even more vias through more insulating layers.
这里应该理解的是,第一电极13和第二电极14与第一电极连接线131之间的绝缘层能起到电隔离的作用,且一般采用透明材料形成,例如采用硅氧化物、硅氮化物、铪氧化物、硅氮氧化物或铝氧化物等形成,由于这些层的结构与形成工艺与现有技术相同,因此这里不再赘述;同时,由于这些绝缘层一般采用透明材料形成,对图4、5中的平面图的观察不会造成阻碍,因此在图4、5的平面示意图中略去绝缘层的示意。It should be understood here that the insulating layer between the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 and the first electrode connection line 131 can play the role of electrical isolation, and is generally formed of transparent materials, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride compound, hafnium oxide, silicon oxynitride or aluminum oxide, etc., because the structure and formation process of these layers are the same as the prior art, so it will not be repeated here; at the same time, because these insulating layers are generally formed of transparent materials, for Observation of the plan views in FIGS. 4 and 5 is not hindered, so the illustration of the insulating layer is omitted in the plan views of FIGS. 4 and 5 .
如图3所示,在图2中对应的A点的局部放大示意图中,第一电极13(驱动电极Tx)与第三电极24(感应电极Rx)之间的水平间距GAP的宽度,直接影响触控电容变化率。优选的是,相邻的第一电极13与第三电极24之间的水平间距为一个子像素区域在与第一电极13的排列方向垂直的方向上的宽度。在实际应用中,在保证触控电容变化率的同时,可以调整合适的GAP宽度,从而得到满足要求的变化率。同时,由于驱动电极Tx与感应电极Rx之间并不形成直接的正对面积,因此能最大限度降低驱动电极Tx与感应电极Rx之间的耦合电容,提高触控灵敏度。As shown in Figure 3, in the partially enlarged schematic diagram corresponding to point A in Figure 2, the width of the horizontal gap GAP between the first electrode 13 (driving electrode Tx) and the third electrode 24 (sensing electrode Rx) directly affects Touch capacitance change rate. Preferably, the horizontal distance between adjacent first electrodes 13 and third electrodes 24 is the width of one sub-pixel region in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first electrodes 13 . In practical applications, while ensuring the rate of change of the touch capacitance, an appropriate GAP width can be adjusted to obtain a rate of change that meets requirements. At the same time, since there is no direct facing area between the driving electrodes Tx and the sensing electrodes Rx, the coupling capacitance between the driving electrodes Tx and the sensing electrodes Rx can be minimized to improve touch sensitivity.

与现有技术中ADS模式液晶显示装置中公共电极为板状结构相比,在本实施例中,公共电极为由第一电极和第二电极共同构成的类似板状的栅网结构,第二电极中间隔形成了分割设置的多个用于触控的第一电极(驱动电极Tx),该驱动电极Tx与彩膜基板内侧的第三电极(感应电极Rx),实现触控。即将现有技术中整面为板状分布的公共电极设计为方块图形,其中的一部分方块(小方块)电极通过纵向的与原数据线位置相当的第一电极连接线进行连接,作为触控用的驱动电极Tx,该驱动电极Tx与设置于彩膜基板中的网格状的感应电极Rx公共实现触控目的;而相邻的驱动电极Tx之间间隔分布的另一部分方块(大方块)电极作为显示用的公共电极Vcom,并同时在触控时间段维持一定的电压值,以保证触控的灵敏度。其中,公共电极Vcom与感应电极Rx的延伸方向一致,且在空间位置上对应设置,以便能最大限度的降低驱动电极Tx与感应电极Rx之间的耦合电容。Compared with the common electrode in the ADS mode liquid crystal display device in the prior art which is a plate-shaped structure, in this embodiment, the common electrode is a similar plate-shaped grid structure composed of the first electrode and the second electrode. A plurality of first electrodes (driving electrodes Tx) for touch control are formed at intervals among the electrodes, and the driving electrodes Tx and the third electrodes (sensing electrodes Rx) inside the color filter substrate realize touch control. That is to say, in the prior art, the common electrodes distributed on the entire surface in a plate shape are designed as a square pattern, and a part of the square (small square) electrodes are connected through the first electrode connecting line in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the position of the original data line, as a touch control.

这里应该理解的是,本实施例中触控控制器45同时集成了触控感应和触控驱动的功能,但是,本实施例并不限定触控控制器45必须为集成式,为降低芯片成本,本实施例中的触控控制器45也可以分别由具有接收触控感应的功能的芯片和具有发送触控驱动的功能的芯片来组合实现。It should be understood here that the touch controller 45 in this embodiment integrates the functions of touch sensing and touch driving at the same time, but this embodiment does not limit that the touch controller 45 must be integrated, in order to reduce chip cost In this embodiment, the touch controller 45 may also be realized by combining a chip with a function of receiving touch sensing and a chip with a function of sending touch drive.
为了便于控制第一电极13在不同的时间段分别起到触控作用和显示作用,优选地,如图6所示,显示装置还包括发射器44,发射器44与电压转换器43电连接,用于向电压转换器43发出控制信号,并通过电压转换器43在触控时间段分别为第一电极13提供触控信号;在显示时间分别为第一电极13和第二电极14提供公共电压信号。In order to facilitate the control of the first electrode 13 to perform touch control and display functions in different time periods, preferably, as shown in FIG. 6 , the display device further includes an emitter 44, which is electrically connected to the voltage converter 43, Used to send control signals to the voltage converter 43, and provide touch signals to the first electrode 13 respectively through the voltage converter 43 during the touch time period; provide common voltages to the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 respectively during the display time Signal.
为保证显示装置的正常显示,将显示装置在显示一帧画面的帧周期的时间分成两个时间段,如图7所示,第一时间段为显示时间段,第二时间段为触控时间段。其中,第一时间段大于等于第二时间段,第一时间段与第二时间段之和等于帧周期。In order to ensure the normal display of the display device, the display device is divided into two time periods when the frame period of displaying a frame is displayed. As shown in FIG. 7, the first time period is the display time period, and the second time period is the touch time period. part. Wherein, the first time period is greater than or equal to the second time period, and the sum of the first time period and the second time period is equal to the frame period.
在本实施例中,电压转换器43可以将来自显示驱动芯片(图6中未示出)的公共电压信号,在第一时间段内提供至第一电极13和第二电极14,以进行画面显示;而在第二时间段内,电压转换器43可以接收由第一电极13(此时第一电极13为驱动电极Tx)和第三电极24(此时第三电极24为感应电极Rx)因受人体触碰而获得的与参考电压值不同的电压,并经发射器44计算得到触摸位置坐标,以进行触摸控制。也就是说,在显示装置工作过程中,第一电极13和第二电极14作为公共电极与像素电极16产生电场,驱动液晶分子31发生偏转,以进行画面显示;而当人体在显示面板上发生触碰时,由于第一电极13与第三电极24之间形成的电场发生变化,由此感应触碰的发生,进而达到触摸控制的目的。In this embodiment, the voltage converter 43 can provide the common voltage signal from the display driver chip (not shown in FIG. display; and in the second time period, the voltage converter 43 can receive the voltage generated by the first electrode 13 (the first electrode 13 is the driving electrode Tx at this time) and the third electrode 24 (the third electrode 24 is the sensing electrode Rx at this time) A voltage different from the reference voltage value obtained by being touched by the human body is calculated by the transmitter 44 to obtain the touch position coordinates for touch control. That is to say, during the working process of the display device, the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are used as common electrodes to generate an electric field with the pixel electrode 16 to drive the liquid crystal molecules 31 to deflect to display images; When touched, the electric field formed between the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 24 changes, thereby sensing the occurrence of a touch, and then achieving the purpose of touch control.
在本实施例的显示装置的驱动过程中,在第一时间段内,第一电极13和第二电极14作为显示用的公共电极,当栅线17向薄膜晶体管12提供扫描信号时,阵列基板1中不同行的薄膜晶体管依次顺序逐行导通;同时,电压转换器43在接收到发射器44发出的控制信号的情况下,接收来自显示驱动芯片的公共电压信号和来自源极驱动器的数据信号,并通过数据线18向薄膜晶体管12的源极提供数据信号电压(或者说灰阶信号),通过第一电极连接线131和公共电极线分别向第一电极13和第二电极14提供公共参考电压,从图7中可见,该时间段(显示阶段)上的直流电压值较小(3V左右);同时与薄膜晶体管12的漏极连接的像素电极16得电,与第一电极13和第二电极14(第二电极14与像素电极在正投影方向上至少部分重叠)共同作用形成电场,作用在液晶层3上,驱动阵列基板1与彩膜基板2之间的液晶分子31,以使得液晶分子31的偏转方向发生改变,实现画面显示。In the driving process of the display device of this embodiment, in the first time period, the first electrode 13 and the second electrode 14 are used as common electrodes for display, and when the gate line 17 provides the scan signal to the thin film transistor 12, the array substrate The thin film transistors in different rows in 1 are sequentially turned on row by row; at the same time, the voltage converter 43 receives the common voltage signal from the display driver chip and the data from the source driver in the case of receiving the control signal sent by the transmitter 44 signal, and provide the data signal voltage (or grayscale signal) to the source of the thin film transistor 12 through the data line 18, and provide the common Reference voltage, as can be seen from Figure 7, the DC voltage value in this time period (display stage) is small (about 3V); at the same time, the pixel electrode 16 connected to the drain of the thin film transistor 12 is powered, and the first electrode 13 and The second electrode 14 (the second electrode 14 and the pixel electrode at least partially overlap in the orthographic projection direction) work together to form an electric field, which acts on the liquid crystal layer 3 to drive the liquid crystal molecules 31 between the array substrate 1 and the color filter substrate 2, so that The deflection direction of the liquid crystal molecules 31 is changed to realize screen display.
在第二时间段内,阵列基板1中第一电极13作为触控用的驱动电极Tx,从图7中可见,该时间段(触控阶段)上的直流电压值较大(7V-8V),彩膜基板2中的第三电极24作为触控用的感应电极Rx(图7中第三电极信号的波形图中1,2…n-1,n代表n次第三电极的逐行扫描),由于相邻的第一电极13和第三电极24依次交替设置,并在空间上交叉相对(没有直接的正对面积),从而形成一对互感式的电容极板;相应的,与第一电极13电连接的第一电极连接线131为驱动信号线,与第三电极24电连接的第三电极连接线241为感应信号线,感应电极Rx通过感应信号线经由电压转换器43与触控控制器45相连通,驱动电极Tx通过驱动信号线经由电压转换器43与触控控制器45相连通。电压转换器43在接收到发射器44发出的控制信号的情况下,通过驱动信号线对作为驱动电极的第一电极13加载触控驱动信号,并检测感应信号线返回的与第三电极24之间的感应电容(此时第一电极13和第三电极24分别为感应电容的两个极板)耦合出的电压信号,在此过程中,有人体接触触控屏时,人体电场就会作用在感应电容上,使感应电容的电容值发生变化,进一步使得耦合出的电压值发生变化,进而改变触控感应信号线返回电压转换器43的电压信号,根据电压信号的变化,就可以确定触点位置,实现触摸控制。In the second time period, the first electrode 13 in the array substrate 1 is used as the driving electrode Tx for touch control. It can be seen from FIG. 7 that the DC voltage value in this time period (touch stage) is relatively large (7V-8V). , the third electrode 24 in the color filter substrate 2 is used as the sensing electrode Rx for touch control (1, 2...n-1 in the waveform diagram of the third electrode signal in FIG. 7, n represents n times of progressive scanning of the third electrode ), since the adjacent first electrodes 13 and third electrodes 24 are arranged alternately in sequence, and they cross each other in space (there is no direct facing area), thus forming a pair of mutual inductance capacitive plates; correspondingly, with the first The first electrode connection line 131 electrically connected to one electrode 13 is a driving signal line, and the third electrode connection line 241 electrically connected to the third electrode 24 is a sensing signal line, and the sensing electrode Rx is connected to the contactor via the voltage converter 43 through the sensing signal line. The touch controller 45 is connected, and the driving electrode Tx is connected to the touch controller 45 through the voltage converter 43 through the driving signal line. When the voltage converter 43 receives the control signal sent by the transmitter 44, it applies the touch driving signal to the first electrode 13 as the driving electrode through the driving signal line, and detects the difference between the return of the sensing signal line and the third electrode 24. The voltage signal coupled by the inductive capacitance between them (the first electrode 13 and the third electrode 24 are the two plates of the inductive capacitance at this time). During this process, when a human body touches the touch screen, the electric field of the human body will act On the sensing capacitor, the capacitance value of the sensing capacitor is changed, and the coupled voltage value is further changed, thereby changing the voltage signal returned from the touch sensing signal line to the voltage converter 43. According to the change of the voltage signal, the touch can be determined. Click the position to achieve touch control.
这里应该理解的是,在第一时间段中,第三电极24上的施加有很微弱的电压(300mV);同时,在第二时间段中,第二电极14上的电压保持为第一时间段中的电压值,如此设置,减小了基准电压的变化幅度,由于触控时间段相对显示时间段较短,利用液晶分子偏转的惯性,使得在一帧画面时间内因触控切换对显示造成的影响较小。It should be understood here that, in the first time period, a very weak voltage (300mV) is applied to the third electrode 24; meanwhile, in the second time period, the voltage on the second electrode 14 remains at the first time The voltage value in the segment, so set, reduces the variation range of the reference voltage. Since the touch time period is shorter than the display time period, the inertia of the liquid crystal molecule deflection is used to cause the display to be damaged due to touch switching within one frame time. has less impact.
在本实施例所提供的显示装置中,可以通过发射器44和电压转换器43共同作用以实现上述步骤。In the display device provided in this embodiment, the above steps can be realized through the cooperation of the transmitter 44 and the voltage converter 43 .
这里应该理解的是,当人体手指触摸到不同像素区域的第一电极或第三电极时,由于通常人体手指与显示面板具有一定的接触面积,使得触摸具有连续性(即一般是不小于感应精度的人体触碰),如前所述,第一电极或第三电极分别充当驱动电极或感应电极的角色,在显示装置具有多个按一定规则排列的像素区域时,能保证感应电极和驱动电极相邻间隔设置,因此,即使人体触摸面积隶属于不同的像素区域,也不会影响触控的效果。It should be understood here that when a human finger touches the first electrode or the third electrode in a different pixel area, since the human finger usually has a certain contact area with the display panel, the touch has continuity (that is, generally not less than the sensing accuracy human body touch), as mentioned above, the first electrode or the third electrode acts as the driving electrode or the sensing electrode respectively, and when the display device has a plurality of pixel areas arranged according to a certain rule, it can ensure that the sensing electrode and the driving electrode Adjacent intervals are set, so even if the touch area of the human body belongs to different pixel areas, it will not affect the touch effect.
对于第一时间段与第二时间段的设置,可以根据具体的显示装置应用环境以及对响应精度、触控精度等条件来确定。例如,以频率为60Hz为例,显示装置显示一帧的帧周期时间为16.7ms,则可以选取其中12.7ms作为显示时间段,其他的4ms作为触控时间段,当然也可以根据显示装置中控制用的IC芯片的处理能力适当的调整两者的时长,在此不做具体限定。The setting of the first time period and the second time period may be determined according to the specific application environment of the display device and conditions such as response accuracy and touch accuracy. For example, taking the frequency as 60Hz as an example, the display device displays a frame cycle time of 16.7ms, you can select 12.7ms as the display time period, and the other 4ms as the touch time period, of course, it can also be controlled according to the display device. The processing capability of the IC chip used properly adjusts the duration of both, which is not specifically limited here.
该显示装置具有良好的图像显示效果,以及较高的触控灵敏度。The display device has good image display effect and high touch sensitivity.
