In fig. 2, line segments with different thicknesses are used to distinguish the first electrode line 51 from the second electrode line 52, but the actual line widths of the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 are not represented. In addition, fig. 2 only shows the situation that the first concave section 21 is located at the middle position of the first edge 11, and in some other embodiments of the present application, the first concave section 21 may also be located at the edge position of the first edge 11, for example, please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows another top view of the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the position of the first concave section 21 is not specifically limited, and only the structure shown in fig. 2 is described below as an example.
Specifically, with continued reference to fig. 2, the display area 10 of the display panel 100 includes a first edge 11 and a second edge 12 adjacent to the first edge 11, the first edge 11 includes a first recessed section 21, and the first recessed section 21 is recessed toward the inside of the display area 10, so that the display area 10 exhibits a non-rectangular shaped structure. The display area 10 comprises a first display area 31 and at least one second display area 32 adjacent to the first recessed section 21 in the first direction; the touch electrode row 40 includes a first touch electrode row 41 located in the first display area 31 and a second touch electrode row 42 located in the second display area 32, and the number of touch electrodes 50 included in the second touch electrode row 42 is smaller than the number of touch electrodes 50 included in the first touch electrode row 41 due to the presence of the first concave section 21. In addition, the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 are introduced into the non-display area 20, and the first electrode line 51, the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50 all receive a common voltage signal in the display stage; in the touch detection phase, the first electrode line 51 receives the common voltage signal, and the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50 receive the touch detection signal. In particular, the application also introduces a capacitance detection stage and a calibration stage, in the capacitance detection stage, the touch electrode 50 receives a capacitance detection signal, judges whether the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance exists, and if so, enters the calibration stage; in the calibration phase, a calibration signal is sent to the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance. According to the method and the device, the process of carrying out capacitance detection on the touch electrode 50 and the process of calibrating the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance detection are introduced into the display panel 100, so that the reference capacitance of each touch electrode 50 on the display panel 100 is kept consistent, the phenomenon that the touch electrode 50 is in a disordered jump point phenomenon and a frozen screen phenomenon caused by different numbers of the touch electrodes 50 contained in the first touch electrode row 41 and the second touch electrode row 42 is effectively improved, the phenomenon that the abnormal touch of the special-shaped display panel 100 cannot be carried out and the false triggering phenomenon of the touch electrode 50 are improved, and further the touch performance of the display panel 100 and the display device is improved.
In the present application, the first electrode lines 51 introduced in the non-display area 20 of the display panel 100 are disposed around the first edge 11 and the second edge 12 of the display area 10, and in the display stage, the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage, the first electrode lines 51 are all configured to receive a common voltage signal, where the common voltage signal is a constant level signal, and when the first electrode lines 51 that receive a constant level signal are disposed at the periphery of the display area 10, the first electrode lines 51 are beneficial to shielding the interference signal at the periphery of the display panel 100, so as to avoid the influence of the interference signal on the circuit in the display area 10.
In the display stage, the touch electrode 50 in the application is multiplexed into a common electrode, and receives a common voltage signal; in the touch detection phase, the touch electrode 50 in the present application receives a touch detection signal. In this way, the touch electrode 50 and the common electrode are multiplexed, and different film structures are not required to be respectively arranged on the display panel 100 for the touch electrode 50 and the common electrode, so that the film structure of the display panel 100 is simplified, and the requirement of thinning the display panel 100 is met.
Fig. 2 of the present embodiment only illustrates technical features of the display panel 100 related to the technical solution of the present embodiment, it is to be understood that the structure of the display panel 100 not only includes the illustration in the drawings, but also may include other technical features known in the prior art for implementing the display function, such as a pixel unit located in a display area, a gate driving unit (not illustrated in the drawings) located in a non-display area, and the like, which are not illustrated and described herein in detail. The shape of the touch electrode in this embodiment is only schematically illustrated as a square, and in specific implementation, the shape of the touch electrode may be any other shape. The number and the size of the touch electrodes in this embodiment are also only schematically illustrated, and in the specific implementation, the number of the touch electrodes is not limited to the number in the figure, and the size of the touch electrodes can also be set according to actual requirements.
In some alternative embodiments, the first electrode line 51, the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50 are located on the same film layer. Therefore, the first electrode wire 51, the second electrode wire 52 and the touch electrode 50 in the present application can be manufactured simultaneously by the same process, and different processes and film structures are not required to be introduced for the first electrode wire 51, the second electrode wire 52 and the touch electrode 50, so that the production process of the display panel 100 is simplified, and the production efficiency of the display panel 100 is improved.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 2, the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 have a space width D0, D0 > 100 μm in a direction parallel to the plane of the display panel 100.
Specifically, with continued reference to fig. 2, since the signals received on the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 are different in the touch detection phase and the capacitance detection phase, the first electrode line 51 is used to receive the common voltage signal in both the touch detection phase and the capacitance detection phase; in the touch stage, the second electrode wire 52 is configured to receive a touch detection signal; in the capacitance detection phase, the second electrode line 52 is used for receiving a capacitance detection signal. When the distance between the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 is smaller, a larger coupling capacitance is formed between the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 in the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage, which affects the accuracy of touch detection and capacitance detection and may cause the display panel to have random jump points and frozen screen. And when the interval D0 between the first electrode wire 51 and the second electrode wire 52 is set to be larger than 100 mu m, the interval between the first electrode wire 51 and the second electrode wire 52 is increased, so that the coupling capacitance between the first electrode wire 51 and the second electrode wire 52 is reduced, the influence of signals on the first electrode wire 51 on the second electrode wire 52 and the signals of the touch electrode 50 in the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage is reduced, the accuracy of touch detection and the accuracy of capacitance detection are improved, and meanwhile the possibility of messy jump points and frozen screen phenomena of the display panel is reduced.
Alternatively, in the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the line width of the first electrode line 51 is D1, and D1 < 50 μm.
Specifically, with continued reference to fig. 2, the line width of the first electrode line 51 is set smaller, specifically set smaller than 50 μm, and in the display stage, the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage, the common voltage signal can be reliably received, the influence of external electric signals on the circuit in the display panel 100 is avoided, and meanwhile, the frame width occupied by the first electrode line 51 can be reduced, so that the narrow frame design of the display panel 100 is facilitated.
In some alternative embodiments, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a top view of another display panel 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application, where in the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment, the non-display area 20 includes a binding area 22 and a first frame area 23 opposite to the binding area 22; the second electrode line 52 includes a sub-line segment 521 located in the first frame region 23, and the line width of the sub-line segment 521 is greater than that of the first electrode line 51.
Specifically, fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the second electrode line 52 includes a sub-line 521 having a larger line segment. The line width of the sub-line segment 521 of the second electrode line 52 located in the first frame region 23 is larger than the line width of the first electrode line 51, and in general, there are fewer line structures disposed in the first frame region 23 disposed opposite to the bonding region 22 on the display panel 100, and on the premise of realizing a narrow frame, there is a certain space for disposing the sub-line segment 521 with a larger line width in the first frame region 23. Since the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 both receive the common voltage signal in the display stage, when the width of the sub-line segment 521 of the second electrode line 52 located in the first frame region 23 is set to be wider, the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 jointly play a role in shielding, which is more beneficial to improving the shielding effect of the first electrode line 51 and the second electrode line 52 on the external electric signal in the display stage, avoiding interference of the external electric signal on the normal display of the display panel 100, and thus being more beneficial to improving the display reliability of the display panel 100.
Optionally, fig. 5 is a diagram showing a relative positional relationship between the touch trace 60 and the touch electrode 50 in the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view along AA' of the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of fig. 5, the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of touch traces 60 and a plurality of dummy traces 61, and the touch trace 60 and the dummy trace 61 are located on the same film layer; the touch electrodes 50 are electrically connected to the touch traces 60 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each of the dummy traces 61 is electrically connected to the second electrode line 52.
Specifically, in order to realize signal interaction between the touch electrode 50 and the driving chip 90 on the display panel 100, a touch trace 60 is generally introduced on the display panel 100 for connecting the touch electrode 50 and the driving chip 90, and in this embodiment, the touch electrode 50 and the touch trace 60 are electrically connected in a one-to-one correspondence. When one touch trace 60 is introduced into each touch electrode 50, it is not ensured that the touch traces 60 are uniformly arranged in the display area 10 of the display panel 100, and thus a phenomenon of uneven load of the display panel 100 may occur. Therefore, the present application introduces a plurality of dummy traces 61 on the display panel 100, the dummy traces 61 and the touch traces 60 are located on the same film layer and are manufactured in the same process, and after the dummy traces 61 are introduced on the display panel 100, the present application is beneficial to realizing impedance matching in the display panel 100 and improving load uniformity. In addition, the present application electrically connects the dummy trace 61 introduced in the display panel 100 to the second electrode line 52, so that the dummy electrode is equipotential with the second electrode line 52 and receives the same electrical signal. For example, in the touch detection stage, the dummy trace 61 and the second electrode line 52 both receive the touch detection signal, and the touch trace 60 and the touch electrode 50 both also receive the touch detection signal; in the display stage, the dummy trace 61 and the touch trace 60 both receive a common voltage signal; in this way, the equipotential of the dummy trace 61 and the touch trace 60 can be ensured, and signal coupling between the touch trace 60 and the dummy trace 61 is avoided, that is, interference of the dummy trace 61 to the signal on the touch trace 60 is avoided, so that the touch reliability and the display reliability of the display panel 100 are improved. It should be noted that, in fig. 5, the touch trace 60 and the dummy trace 61 are distinguished by the thickness of the lines, and do not represent actual line widths, and in fact, the line widths of the touch trace 60 and the dummy trace 61 may be set to be equal.
Based on the same inventive concept, fig. 7 is a flowchart of a driving method of the display panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, where the driving method is used for driving the display panel 100 according to the present application, and referring to fig. 2 and 7, the driving method of the display panel 100 includes a driving method of a display stage, a driving method of a touch detection stage, a driving method of a capacitance detection stage, and a driving method of a calibration stage, where,
in the display stage, a common voltage signal is transmitted to the first electrode line 51, the second electrode line 52, and the touch electrode 50;
in the touch detection stage, a common voltage signal is sent to the first electrode line 51, and a touch detection signal is sent to the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50;
in the capacitance detection stage, a common voltage signal is sent to the first electrode wire 51, a capacitance detection signal is sent to the second electrode wire 52 and the touch electrode 50, whether the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance exists or not is judged, and if so, a calibration stage is carried out; in the calibration phase, a calibration signal is sent to the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance.
It should be noted that, in the flowchart of the display stage, the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage shown in fig. 7, there is no fixed order between the display stage, the touch detection stage and the capacitance detection stage, and the order of the three stages can be flexibly set according to the actual requirement.
Specifically, please refer to fig. 2, 7 and 8, fig. 8 is a driving timing diagram of the display panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, wherein T1 represents a capacitive detection stage, T2 represents a touch detection stage, and T3 represents a display stage; VCOM1 represents signals received by the first electrode line 51 during the display phase, the touch detection phase and the capacitance detection phase; VCOM2 represents signals received by the second electrode line 52 and the touch electrode 50 during the display phase, the touch detection phase, and the capacitance detection phase. In the driving method of the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, besides the display stage and the touch detection stage, a capacitance detection stage is also introduced to detect each touch electrode 50 on the display panel 100. Since the display area 10 of the display panel 100 is in a special-shaped structure, the touch electrode row 40 includes the first touch electrode row 41 located in the first display area 31 and the second touch electrode row 42 located in the second display area 32, and the number of the touch electrodes 50 included in the second touch electrode row 42 is smaller than that of the touch electrodes 50 included in the first touch electrode row 41 due to the existence of the first concave section 21, so that in a standby state, the capacitance value of the touch electrodes 50 in the second touch electrode row 42 is larger than that of the touch electrodes 50 in the first touch electrode row 41, and the difference of the capacitances is very easy to cause a phenomenon of random jump points and frozen screen of the touch electrodes 50, so that the normal touch performance is affected. In the driving method of the display panel 100 provided in the present application, a capacitance detection stage is introduced, in which the touch electrode 50 receives a capacitance detection signal, and determines whether there is a touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance in the display panel 100 (typically, the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance will appear in the second touch electrode row 42), and if so, a calibration stage is entered; in the calibration phase, a calibration signal is sent to the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance. According to the method and the device, the process of carrying out capacitance detection on the touch electrode 50 and the process of calibrating the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance detection are introduced into the display panel 100, so that the reference capacitance of each touch electrode 50 on the display panel 100 is kept consistent, the phenomenon that the touch electrode 50 is in a disordered jump point phenomenon and a frozen screen phenomenon caused by different numbers of the touch electrodes 50 contained in the first touch electrode row 41 and the second touch electrode row 42 is effectively improved, the phenomenon that the abnormal touch of the special-shaped display panel 100 cannot be carried out and the false triggering phenomenon of the touch electrode 50 are improved, and further the touch performance of the display panel 100 is improved.

Thus, even if the capacitance detection process is introduced, a new module structure is not required to be added on the display panel 100, and the capacitance detection process can be realized by only changing the driving program on the display panel 100.
Optionally, in the driving method of the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, in a calibration stage, a calibration signal is sent to the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance, specifically:
and sending a capacitance calibration signal to the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance, and calibrating the capacitance value of the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance to ensure that the capacitance value of each touch electrode 50 is equal to a preset capacitance value.

Through the calibration process, the capacitance values of the touch electrodes 50 are all set to be the same, so that the phenomenon that the touch electrodes 50 are jumped randomly and frozen due to the difference of the capacitance values of the touch electrodes 50 is avoided, and the touch performance of the display panel 100 is improved. It should be noted that, the calibration process of the touch electrode 50 with abnormal capacitance may also be performed by the driving chip 90 on the display panel 100, and even if the calibration process is introduced, the calibration process can be implemented by only changing the driving program on the display panel 100 without adding a new module structure on the display panel 100.
