Description

触摸基板及其制作方法、触摸显示装置 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及一种触摸基板、触摸基板的制作方法以及包括所述触摸基板的触摸显示装置。
背景技术
触摸技术作为最便捷的人机交互技术之一，已经逐渐深入人们的生活之中。电容式触摸屏是触摸屏的一种重要形式，电容式触摸屏的触摸基板包括驱动电极层和感应电极层，驱动电极层的多个驱动电极和感应电极层的多个感应电极相互交叉，在两种电极相邻处形成电容；各驱动电极以扫描形式加载驱动信号，感应电极上产生相应的感应信号，当有触摸发生时，人体或触摸笔靠近触控区，使得该区域中感应电极和像素电极之间的电容发生变化，从而使得相应的感应电极的感应信号发生变化，进而确定触摸位置。
一体化触控(One glass solution，OGS)技术将驱动电极层和感应电极层制作在一块基板上，有利于触摸基板的轻薄化，从而成为最有潜力的触控技术之一。但是这种方式受到了尺寸的限制。因为在大尺寸的情况下，当感应电极由氧化铟锡(ITO)制作时，感应电极的电阻较大，信号衰减增加，使得信号处理变得困难，同时，电阻的增大使得触摸基板的扫描频率减小。

附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案，下面将对实施例的附图作简单地介绍，显而易见地，下面描述中的附图仅仅涉及本发明的一些实施例，而非对本发明的限制。
图1是根据本发明实施例的触摸基板的截面图；
图2是根据本发明实施例的触摸基板中的第二电极的分布示意图；
图3是根据本发明实施例的触摸基板的俯视图。
具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合附图，对本发明实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然，所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本发明的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明的实施例提供一种触摸基板。如图1至图3所示，该触摸基板包括设置在衬底基板1上的第一电极层2和第二电极层3，所述第一电极层2包括多个第一电极21，第二电极层3包括多个第二电极31，每个第一电极21包括多个第一电极单元211以及连接在相邻两个第一电极单元211之间的第一连接部212，每个第二电极31包括多个第二电极单元311以及连接在相邻两个第二电极单元311之间的第二连接部312，第一连接部212和第二连接部312绝缘交叉，第一电极单元211为透明电极块，第二电极单元311为金属网电极块。
例如，所述金属网电极块包括多条沿第一方向延伸的第一金属线和多条 沿第二方向延伸的第二金属线，多条第一金属线和多条第二金属线交叉形成网格状结构，多个所述网格状结构相连形成第二电极31。本发明对所述第一方向和所述第二方向不作限制，只要第一金属线和第二金属线可以交叉形成网格即可。
金属网电极块的电阻相对于透明电极块的电阻较小。因此，在衬底基板尺寸的一定的情况下，与第一电极单元211、第二电极单元311均为透明电极块相比，本发明实施例中将第一电极单元211设置为透明电极块，第二电极单元311设置为金属网电极块时，电极的总电阻减小，因此，可以减少信号的衰减程度，防止电阻过大造成的触摸基板的扫描频率减小，有利于大尺寸触摸屏的制作。另一方面，由于当第一电极单元211、第二电极单元311均为金属网电极块时，金属网电极块的金属线之间产生的夹角使得穿过两层电极之间的光线出现衍射现象，而本发明实施例同时设置金属网电极块和透明电极块可以减少整个触控基板上的金属网电极块的数量，进而减少了金属网电极块的金属线之间产生的夹角的数量，从而减少光线衍射现象，进而减少波纹(moire)效应的发生。本领域技术人员应当理解的是，本发明实施例所提供的触摸基板适用于电容式触摸屏，因此，第一电极21和第二电极31之间是彼此绝缘的，从而驱动模块为所述触控基板提供驱动电压时，第一电极21和第二电极31之间能够形成电容。
第一电极单元211与第二电极单元311的形状可以相同，例如，第一电极单元211和第二电极单元311的形状可以均为菱形，相邻两个第一电极单元211的两个菱形的顶点通过第一连接部212相连，相邻两个第二电极单元311的两个菱形的顶点通过第二连接部312相连，从而使得触摸基板上电极的图形比较规则。当然，第一电极单元211和第二电极单元311还可以为其他形状。
在本发明实施例中，可以将第一电极21作为感应电极使用，也可以将第二电极31作为感应电极使用。例如，第一电极21为驱动电极，第二电极31为感应电极。这种情况下，感应电极包括多个电阻较小的金属网电极块，可以减少感应电极层发生的信号衰减，而驱动电极通常与驱动所述触摸基板的驱动模块相连，该驱动模块可以为驱动电极提供较大的驱动电压，由此可以减少驱动电极的电阻过大造成的信号衰减。
为了进一步减小所述触摸基板的电极的总电阻，例如，第一电极21为驱动电极，包括多个透明电极块，第二电极31为感应电极，包括多个金属网电极块，第一电极21沿衬底基板1的宽度方向延伸，第二电极31沿衬底基板1的长度方向延伸，从而使得电阻较大的透明电极块在每列排列的个数较少，减小驱动电极的电阻，从而减小信号的衰减，并且防止电阻过大时造成的触控基板的刷新频率的降低，提高触控灵敏度。
制成所述金属网电极块的材料可以为铜、铁、铝、银等金属中的任意一种，也可以为合金。为了所述金属网电极块具有良好的导电性和较低的成本，例如制成所述第一金属线和所述第二金属线的材料包括铜或铝。
制成所述透明电极块的材料可以包括氧化铟锡(ITO)。
如上文中所述，第一电极层2和第二电极层3之间是绝缘间隔开的。因此，如图1所示，根据本发明实施例的触摸基板还包括设置在第一电极层2和第二电极层3之间的透明绝缘层4，透明绝缘层4既可以起到绝缘层的作用，也不会影响所述触摸基板的透光性。
如图1所示，所述触摸基板还包括设置在第一电极层2和第二电极层3上方的透明保护层5，以对第一电极层2和第二电极层3进行保护。透明保护层5与透明绝缘层4可以由相同的透明绝缘材料制成。
以上为对本发明实施例提供的触摸基板的描述，可以看出，金属网电极块的电阻较小，第二电极单元为金属网电极块可以减小触摸基板上电极的总电阻，使得触摸基板的尺寸较大时，减少触摸基板的电极的电阻过大造成的信号衰减现象，有利于大尺寸触摸屏的制作；同时，第一电极单元为透明电极块，从而减少光线在金属网电极块之间形成的光线衍射，进而减少波纹效应的发生。当驱动电极为电阻较大的透明电极时，将驱动电极沿衬底基板的宽度方向延伸，以进一步减小驱动电极的电阻，减少信号衰减，以及防止电阻过大对触摸基板的扫描频率的影响，提供触控灵敏度。
本发明的实施例还提供一种触摸基板的制作方法，该方法包括：
提供衬底基板；
在所述衬底基板上形成包括多个第一电极的第一电极层和包括多个第二电极的第二电极层；其中，
形成每个所述第一电极包括形成多个依次排布的第一电极单元以及形成 连接在相邻两个所述第一电极单元之间的第一连接部；
形成所述第二电极包括形成多个依次排布的第二电极单元以及形成连接在相邻两个所述第一电极单元之间的第二连接部，所述第一连接部和所述第二连接部交叉，所述第一电极单元为透明电极块，所述第二电极单元为金属网电极块。
例如，所述方法还包括：在形成有所述第一电极层和第二电极层的衬底基板上形成透明保护层。例如，该透明保护层可以通过沉积或涂布的方式形成。
例如，形成第二电极单元的步骤包括：形成多条沿第一方向延伸的第一金属线和多条沿第二方向延伸的第二金属线，且多条所述第一金属线和多条第二金属线交叉形成网格状结构。
具体地，在所述衬底基板上形成包括多个第一电极的第一电极层和包括多个第二电极的第二电极层的步骤可以包括：
在所述衬底基板上形成透明导电层；
通过构图工艺形成第一电极，从而形成所述第一电极层，形成所述透明导电层的材料可以为氧化铟锌(ITO)；
在形成有所述第一电极的衬底基板上形成透明绝缘层，可以采用气相沉积或涂布的方式形成所述透明绝缘层；
在形成有所述第一电极和透明绝缘层的衬底基板上形成金属材料层，通过构图工艺形成多个第二电极，从而形成第二电极层，形成所述金属材料层的材料可以为铜或铝。
在触摸基板的制作过程中，所述构图工艺可以采用黄光。首先将衬底基板清洗干净，并沉积透明材料层(ITO薄膜)；然后在所述透明电极层上形成例如正性光刻胶层，利用掩膜板对光刻胶层进行曝光，所述掩膜板的图形与第一电极的图形一致，即具有多个第一电极单元和第一连接部的图形；再对曝光后的光刻胶层进行显影，除去曝光变性的光刻胶，保留未受到光照的光刻胶，并对衬底基板进行高温处理，使得光刻胶层更加坚硬；之后用适当的腐蚀液将所述透明材料层薄膜的未受到光刻胶覆盖的部分除去；最后将光刻胶层剥离，得到第一电极层。形成第二电极层的方法与第一电极层的方法相同，这里不再赘述。
例如，所述第一电极沿所述衬底基板的宽度方向延伸，所述第二电极沿所述衬底基板的长度方向延伸，即，在形成第一电极时，掩膜板上的对应于第一电极的图形的延伸方向与衬底基板的宽度方向一致；形成第二电极时，掩膜板上的对应于第二电极的图形的延伸方向与衬底基板的长度方向一致。
本发明的实施例还提供一种触摸显示装置，包括显示面板和本发明所提供的上述触摸基板。由于本发明实施例的触摸基板上的电极的总电阻减小，可以应用于较大的尺寸，且减少波纹效应。因此，本发明实施例的触摸显示装置的尺寸可以增加，且减少波纹效应的产生，提高显示质量。
例如，所述显示面板可以包括阵列基板以及与阵列基板相对设置的对向基板，所述触摸基板的衬底基板可以用作所述对向基板的衬底基板，从而减小所述触摸显示装置的厚度。
例如，所述触摸显示装置可以为：液晶显示面板、OLED面板、手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
以上所述仅是本发明的示范性实施方式，而非用于限制本发明的保护范围，本发明的保护范围由所附的权利要求确定。
本申请要求于2014年8月29日递交的第201410437952.X号中国专利申请的优先权，在此全文引用上述中国专利申请公开的内容以作为本申请的一部分。
