[0002] The present invention relates to a touch panel and a touch display device.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] The touch-sensing panel has been widely used in the input interfaces of the instruments for its properties such as the great interaction between machines and humans. In recent years, more consumer electronics, such as mobile phones, GPS navigator systems, tablet computers, personal digital assistances (PDA), and laptop computers are employed with touch display panels.

[0005] In conventional touch panel, two patterned conductive layer are disposed on a transparent substrate, and the patterned conductive layers form a plurality of horizontal sensing stripes and a plurality of vertical sensing stripes. The horizontal sensing stripes are sequentially arranged along a vertical direction, and the vertical sensing stripes are sequentially arranged along a vertical direction, so that the horizontal sensing stripes and the vertical sensing stripes preferably cross each other. Furthermore, each horizontal sensing stripe and each vertical sensing stripe are electrically connected to a signal end of a control device respectively. Accordingly, the horizontal sensing stripes and the vertical sensing stripes can be used to sense a vertical position and a horizontal position of an object touching the touch panel, and the position of the object can be obtained.

[0006] However, the conventional touch panel requires two dimensional sensing stripes, so that the two conductive layers are required to form the horizontal sensing stripes and the vertical sensing stripes crossing each other. Additionally, each sensing stripe requires one signal end to control, and thus, the control device should have enough operating ability to perform touch sensing. Therefore, how to simply the touch panel to reduce the cost of the touch panel has become an important task in the field.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a top view of a touch panel according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 taken along a cross-sectional line A-A'. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the touch panel 100 includes a substrate 102, and a patterned conductive layer 103. The patterned conductive layer 103 includes a plurality of sensing units 104. The substrate 102 has a touch region 102a and a peripheral region 102b surrounding the touch region 102a, and the substrate 102 can include a transparent substrate, a color filter substrate, an array substrate or a polarizer, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The transparent substrate can be made of a transparent material, such as glass, quartz or plastic. The sensing units 104 are disposed on the substrate 102 and sequentially arranged along a first direction 106.

[0024] In this embodiment, each sensing unit 104 includes two sensing bars 108 and a connecting part 110. The sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 are disposed adjacent to each other and disposed on the substrate 102 in the touch region 102a. The sensing bars 108 are disposed parallel to each other and arranged sequentially along the first direction 106. Each sensing bar 108 extends along a second direction 112 different from the first direction 106, and each sensing bar 108 extends from the substrate in the peripheral region 102b at a side of the touch region 102a to the substrate in the peripheral region 102b at another side of the touch region 102a and crosses the whole touch region 102a. The first direction 106 is perpendicular to the second direction 112 in this embodiment, but the present invention is not limited herein. Furthermore, each sensing bar 108 has a first end 108a and a second end 108b, and the first end 108a and the second end 108b are disposed adjacent to two opposite sides of the substrate 102 respectively. The second end 108b of one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 is configured for receiving a first signal. The first ends 108a of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 are electrically connected to each other and configured for receiving a second signal. The second end 108b of the other one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 is configured for receiving a third signal. Since each sensing bar 108 crosses the touch region 102a, each sensing bar 108 should be transparent, and each sensing bar 108 includes a transparent conductive material, such as indium tin oxide or indium zinc oxide, but the present invention is not limited herein. In this embodiment, each connecting part 110 is disposed on the substrate 102 in the peripheral region 102b, and each connecting part 110 connects the first ends 108a of the sensing bars of each sensing unit 104 to each other, so that the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 can be electrically connected to each other through each connecting part 110 of each sensing unit 104, in which the sensing bars 108 and the connecting part 110 of each sensing unit 104 constitute a U-shaped structure, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Each connecting part 110 in this embodiment also can include a transparent conductive material, such as indium tin oxide or indium zinc oxide, but the present invention is not limited herein. Moreover, the connecting parts 110 and the sensing bars 108 also can be formed with a same transparent conductive material layer 124, but the present invention is not limited herein. In a modified embodiment of the present invention, the connecting part may be disposed on the substrate in the peripheral region, and the connecting part can include opaque conductive material, such as metal, or other conductive material, such as carbon nanotube. In another modified embodiment of the present invention, the sensing bars may not cross the whole touch region, and the sensing bars may extend from the substrate in the touch region adjacent to a side of the peripheral region to the substrate in the touch region adjacent to another side of the peripheral region. In addition, the connecting parts may be formed with the transparent conductive material, and the connecting parts are disposed on the substrate in the touch region and disposed adjacent to a border between the touch region and the peripheral region.

[0025] In this embodiment, the touch panel 104 further can include a control unit 114. For example, a sensing chip can be disposed on the flexible circuit board and electrically connected to the sensing units 104 through the flexible circuit board. The control unit 114 includes a plurality of signal terminal sets 116. Each signal terminal set 116 is configured for transmitting a signal to each sensing unit 104 and recording a charging time and a discharging time of the signal transmitting to each sensing unit 104. Each signal terminal set 116 includes a first signal terminal 116a, a second signal terminal 116b and a third signal terminal 116c. The first signal terminal 116a is configured for transmitting the first signal. The second signal terminal is configured for transmitting the second signal. The third signal terminal is configured for transmitting the third signal. The second end 108b of one of the sensing bars of each sensing unit 104 is electrically connected to each first signal terminal 116a so as to receive the first signal. Each connecting part 110 is electrically connected to each second signal terminal 116b of the control unit 114 so as to receive the second signal. The second end 108b of the other one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 is electrically connected each third signal terminal 116c of the control unit 114 so as to receive the third signal. In a modified embodiment of the present invention, the control unit may be directly disposed on the substrate in the peripheral region.

[0026] In addition, the patterned conductive layer 103 further includes a plurality of first conductive lines 118, a plurality of second conductive lines 120, and a plurality of third conductive lines 122, and the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120 and the third conductive lines 122 are disposed on the substrate 102 in the peripheral region 102b. In this embodiment, the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120 and the third conductive lines 122 are formed with a conductive material layer 126 and disposed on the transparent conductive material layer 124. The conductive material layer 126 may include metal material or transparent conductive material, such as indium tin oxide or indium zinc oxide, but the present invention is not limited herein. Each first conductive line 118 is connected to one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104, and each first conductive line 118 is electrically connected to each first signal terminal 116a. Thus, each conductive line 118 can electrically connect each first signal terminal 116a to the second end 108b of one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104, and each first signal can be transmitted to the second end 108b of one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104. Each second conductive line 120 is connected to the connecting part 110 of each sensing unit 104, and each second conductive line 120 is electrically connected to each second signal terminal 116b. Thus, each second signal can be transmitted to each connecting part 110. Each third conductive line 122 is connected to the other one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104, and each third conductive line 122 is electrically connected to each third signal terminal 116c. Thus, each third conductive line 122 electrically connects each third signal terminal 116c to the second end 108b of the other one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104, and the third signal can be transmitted to the second end 108b of the other one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104. By using the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120 and the third conductive lines 122 to electrically connect each sensing unit 104 and the control unit 114, the control unit 114 can accurately calculate a resistance between each sensing unit 104 and the control unit 144 so as to obtain differences between the charging times of the first signal, the second signal and the third signal before a touch object, such finger or touch pen, touching the touch panel 104 and the charging times of the first signal, the second signal and the third signal after the touch object touching the touch panel 104 and obtain differences between the discharging times of the first signal, the second signal and the third signal before the touch object touching the touch panel 104 and the discharging times of the first signal, the second signal and the third signal after the touch object touching the touch panel 104 also can be accurately calculated by the control unit 114.

[0027] In the present invention, the conductive material layer is not limited to be disposed on the transparent conductive material layer, and the conductive material layer is not limited to be formed with the conductive material layer different from the transparent conductive material layer. Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. FIG. 3 illustrates a touch panel according to a variant of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 illustrates a touch panel according to another variant of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the transparent conductive material layer 110 of this variant can be disposed on the conductive material layer 126. That is to say that the conductive material layer 126 used for forming the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120 and the third conductive lines 122 is first formed on the substrate 102, and then, the transparent conductive material layer 110 used for forming the sensing units 104 is formed on the substrate 102 and the conductive material layer 126. As shown in FIG. 4, the conductive material layer used for forming the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120 and the third conductive lines 122 and the transparent conductive material layer 124 used for forming the sensing units 104 are the same layer. That is to say that the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120 and the third conductive lines 122 are formed with the transparent conductive material layer 124 used for forming the sensing units 104, which means the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120, the third conductive lines 122 and the sensing units 104 are integrally formed at the same time. In this variant, the sensing bars 108 of the sensing units 104 is a rectangular stripe-shaped structure, but the present invention is not limited to thereto. In other modified embodiments of the present invention, the sensing bars may be wave-shaped, ragged or irregular striped structure (not shown in figures).

[0028] The method of the sensing unit for sensing the position of the touch object in the present invention is detailed in the following description. Please refer to FIG. 5 through FIG. 7. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating the touch panel when no touch object touches the touch panel according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating each sensing unit sensing a single touch object according the present invention. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating each sensing unit sensing two touch objects according the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 114 transmits the first signals 128, the second signals 130 and the third signals 132 sequentially. Each first signal 128 is transmitted to one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 so as to charge and discharge each sensing unit 104 and record a charging time and a discharging time of each first signal 128 when there is no touch object touching on the touch panel 100. Then, each second signal 130 is transmitted to the connecting part 110 of each sensing unit 104 so as to charge and discharge each sensing unit 104 and record a charging time and a discharging time of each second signal 130. Next, each third signal 132 is transmitted to the other one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 so as to charge and discharge each sensing unit 104 and record a charging time and a discharging time of each third signal 130. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 114 further transmits each first signal 128, each second signal 130 and each third signal 132 to one of the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104, the connecting part 110 of each sensing unit 104 and the other one of the sensing bars of each sensing unit 104 respectively, when the touch panel 100 is touched by a plurality of touch objects 134, such as fingers, and each touch object 134 corresponds to each sensing unit 104. Thus, each sensing unit 104 is charged and discharged by the control unit 114, and the charging times and the discharging times of the first signal 128, the second signal 130 and the third signal 132 can be recorded by the control unit 114. Since the touch object 134 is coupled with the each sensing unit 104, the charging times and the discharging times of the first signal 128, the second signal 130 and the third signal 132 when the touch object 134 touches the touch panel 100 are different from the charging times and the discharging times of the first signal 128, the second signal 130 and the third signal 132 when no touch object 134 touches the touch panel 100. Accordingly, the control unit 114 can distinguish and calculate the position of the touch object 134 in the first direction 106. The control unit 114 further compares the charging times and the discharging times of the first signal 128 when the touch object 134 touches the touch panel 100 to the charging times and the discharging times of the first signal 128 when no touch object 134 touches the touch panel 100, and then, the control unit 114 calculates the touch position of the touch object 134 in the second direction 112 according the lengths of the sensing bars 108. In a modified embodiment of the present invention, the control unit may compare the differences between the charging times and the discharging times of the second signal or third signal when the touch object touches the touch panel and when no touch object touches the touch panel to calculate the positions of the touch object in the first direction and the second direction.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 7, when a first touch object 134a and a second touch object 134b touch the touch panel 100 at the same time, and the first touch object 134a and the second touch object 134b corresponds to the same one sensing unit 104, the control unit 114 also sequentially transmits each first signal 128, each second signal 130 and each third signal 132 to one of sensing bars of each sensing unit 104, the connecting part 110 of each sensing unit 104 and the other one of the sensing bars of each sensing unit 104 respectively so as to charge and discharge each sensing unit 104 and record the charging times and the discharging times of the first signal 128, the second signal 130 and the third signal 132. When the control unit 114 transmits the first signal 128, the first signal 128 will encounter the first touch object 134a adjacent to the second end 108b of one of the sensing bars 108 first. Thus, the control unit 114 can calculate the position of the first touch object 134a in the first direction 106 through the changes of the charging times and the discharging times of the first signal 128 generated by the first touch object 134a. When the control unit 114 transmits the second signal 130, the second signal 130 will encounter the second touch object 134b adjacent to the first ends 108b of the sensing bars 108. Thus, the control unit 114 can calculate the position of the second touch object 134a in the second direction 112 through the changes of the charging times and the discharging times of the second signal 130 generated by the second touch object 134b. Moreover, through the changes of the charging times and the discharging times of the third signal 132, the control unit 114 can verify whether a misjudgment is generated. In another modified embodiment of the present invention, a sequence of the first signal, the second signal and the third signal may be changed; that is, the control unit may sequentially transmit the second signal, the first signal and the third signal, but the present invention is not limited herein.

[0030] As we can see from the above-mentioned description, the sensing unit 104, the first conductive lines 118, the second conductive lines 120 and the third conductive lines 122 are formed with the same one patterned conductive layer 103 in this embodiment, and the single patterned conductive layer 103 can perform a multi-touch function. Thus, in this embodiment, the touch panel 100 not only can reduce material costs through decreasing one conductive material layer in the manufacturing process, but also reduce the steps of the manufacturing process and the number of masks for forming the patterned conductive material layers to decrease manufacturing cost of the touch panel as compared with the two patterned conductive layers for performing the multi-touch function in the prior art. Furthermore, the touch panel 100 does not require two-dimensional sensing stripes, and the touch panel 100 can sense the position of the touch object 134 with the sensing units 104 arranged along the one-dimensional first direction 106 in this embodiment, so that the number of the signal terminals that the sensing units 104 require only is three times the number of the sensing units 104. As compared with the number of the signal terminals in the prior art that is the product of the number of the sensing stripes in the first direction and the number of the sensing stripes in the second direction, the number of the signal terminals of the touch panel 100 further can be effectively reduced, and the cost of the touch panel 100 can be decreased in this embodiment.

[0031] The touch panel of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. The following description continues to detail the other embodiments or modifications, and in order to simplify and show the differences between the other embodiments or modifications and the above-mentioned embodiment, the same numerals denote the same components in the following description, and the same parts are not detailed redundantly.

[0032] Please refer to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a touch panel according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, as compared with the first embodiment, the control unit 114 of the touch panel 200 in this embodiment is disposed on the substrate 102 in the peripheral region 102b, and each sensing unit 104 does not include the connecting part. In other words, the first end 108a of each sensing bar 108 of each sensing unit 104 is directly connected to each second conductive line 120, so that the first end 108a of each sensing bar 108 of each sensing unit 104 can be electrically connected to each second signal terminal 116b of the control unit 114.

[0033] According to the touch panel of the above-mentioned embodiments, the present invention further provides a touch display device. The touch panel in the following description takes the touch panel in the above-mentioned first embodiment as an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The touch panel in the following description may be the touch panel of other embodiments. Please refer to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 together with FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the touch display device 300 includes a display device 302 and a touch panel 100. The display device 302 has a display surface 302a, and the display device 302 includes a plurality of pixels 304 arranged in an array. The display device may be for example a liquid crystal display device, an organic light-emitting diode display device or a plasma display device, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first direction 106 is the row direction, and the second direction 112 is the column direction in this embodiment. Each sensing unit 104 of the touch panel 304 overlaps at least one column of the pixels 30, so that the sensing unit 104 corresponding to the column of the pixels 304 can sense the touch object touching the region corresponding to at least one pixel 304 in the column of pixels 304. In other words, the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 corresponding to each column of the pixels 304 overlap the column of the pixels 304 or are disposed at two sides of the column of the pixels 304 respectively. Accordingly, when the touch object touches the region corresponding to at least one pixel 304 in the column of the pixels 304, the sensing unit 104 corresponding to the column of the pixels 304 can sense the touch object and calculate the position of the touch object through the control unit 114. In another modified embodiment of the present invention, each sensing unit of the touch panel can overlap a plurality of columns of the pixels, and the number of the columns of the pixels overlapping each sensing unit is determined according to the size of the touch object.

[0034] Please refer to FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating a top view of a touch display device according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, as compared with the touch display device of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first direction 106 of the touch display device 400 in this embodiment is the column direction, and the second direction 112 is the row direction. In other words, each sensing unit 104 of the touch panel 400 in this embodiment overlaps at least one row of the pixels 304, and the sensing bars 108 of each sensing unit 104 corresponding to each row of the pixels 304 overlap the row of the pixels 304 or are disposed at two sides of the row of the pixel 304 respectively. In another modified embodiment of the present invention, each sensing unit of the touch panel can overlap a plurality of rows of the pixels, and the number of the rows of the pixels overlapping each sensing unit is determined according to the size of the touch object.

[0035] In summary, the touch panel of the present invention does not require two-dimensional sensing stripes, and the touch panel can sense the position of the touch object with the sensing units arranged along the one-dimensional first direction. Furthermore, the sensing units, the first conductive lines, the second conductive lines and the third conductive lines are formed with the same one patterned conductive layer in the present invention, and the single patterned conductive layer can perform a multi-touch function. Thus, the touch panel of the present invention not only can reduce material costs through decreasing one conductive material layer in the manufacturing process, but also reduce the steps of the manufacturing process and the number of masks for forming the patterned conductive material layers to decrease production cost of the touch panel as compared with the two patterned conductive layers for performing the multi-touch function in the prior art.
