电容式触控屏由于具有定位精确灵敏、触摸手感好以及使用寿命长等优点,而被广泛使用。
OGS(One Glass Solution)触控屏和覆盖表面式(On cell)触控屏是两种比较常见的触控屏。OGS触控屏通过采用将触控结构设置在显示面板之外的保护基板上以单独形成触控基板,之后将触控基板与显示面板贴合在一起的方式形成。在覆盖表面式触控屏中,触控结构设置在显示面板中的对置基板(例如彩膜基板)的远离阵列基板一侧的表面上。
在OGS触控屏和覆盖表面式触控屏的制作过程中,通常使用黄光制程以制作出性能优异的产品,而黄光制程不可避免地要使用到光罩(Mask)。光罩对制作精度要求非常高,使用重复率高,其价格十分的昂贵。如果在一款产品的设计中能够尽量少地使用光罩的数量,而且又能够满足产品的性能,则可以大大降低生产成本和单件产品生产时间(tact time)等,并且设备的稼动也能得到明显的提高。

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,下面将结合本发明实施例的附图,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。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本发明所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样,“一个”、“一”或者“该”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
在电容式触控屏中,导电桥式触控结构是一种常用的触控结构。图1a为一种导电桥式触控结构的俯视示意图。如图1a所示,该触控结构包括横纵交叉的多个第一触控电极01和多个第二触控电极02。每个第一触控电极01 和每个触控电极02都与至少一条导线04电连接,以实现与触控芯片(图1a中未示出)的电连接。通常,OGS触控屏若采用导电桥式触控结构,一般都会使用到6Mask工艺流程,即需要使用6道光罩。图1b为沿图1a中的BB线的剖面示意图。如图1b所示,该6Mask工艺流程通常可以包括以下步骤(1)至步骤(6)。
步骤(1):在衬底基板09上制作黑矩阵层05。例如,可以通过包括涂胶、曝光和显影的图案化处理方式得到黑矩阵层。
步骤(2):制作导电层,例如,该导电层可以包括多个间隔设置的导电桥01b。例如,该导电层可以采用透明导电材料,例如ITO(氧化铟锡)等。例如,该导电层可以通过包括溅射镀膜、涂光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀和光刻胶剥离等过程的图案化处理方式得到。
步骤(3):制作第一绝缘层03,该第一绝缘层03覆盖导电桥01b。例如,可以通过包括涂胶、曝光和显影的图案化处理方式得到第一绝缘层03。
步骤(4):制作透明导电层,该透明导电层包括第二触控电极02以及多个间隔设置的子电极01a,相邻的子电极01a通过导电桥01b电连接在一起,以形成第一触控电极01。例如,透明导电层也可以通过包括溅射镀膜、涂光刻胶、曝光、显影、刻蚀和光刻胶剥离等过程的图案化处理方式得到。
步骤(5):制作信号传输层,例如,信号传输层包括多条导线04,这些导线04分别与第一触控电极01和第二触控电极02电连接。图1b中仅示出第一触控电极01与导线04电连接,第二触控电极02与导线04电连接的方式与第一触控电极01类似。信号传输层的制作方式可以与制作第一、二透明导电层的方式类似。
步骤(6):制作第二绝缘层06,第二绝缘层06覆盖导线04,用于保护导线04。第二绝缘层06的制作方式可以与第一绝缘层03的制作方式类似。
在研究中,本申请的发明人注意到:通过改变上述6Mask工艺流程的工艺顺序,可以减少掩膜板的使用数量,从而降低生产成本;并且,在6Mask工艺中,在导线04与触控芯片电连接的位置处(即,在Bonding位置处),导线04容易发生undercut(塌陷)现象,从而导致断路。图1c为沿图1a中CC线的剖面示意图。如图1c所示,081表示导电层在Bonding位置处的保留部分,即该保留部分081与上述导电桥01b同层设置;082表示透明导电 层在Bonding位置处的保留部分,即保留部分082与上述第二触控电极02和子电极01a同层设置;导线04形成在保留部分081和082之上,在这种情况下,导线04容易发生undercut现象。
本发明的至少一个实施例提供了一种触控结构及其制作方法、触控基板和显示装置,通过利用第一触控电极和第二触控电极之间的绝缘层覆盖与第一触控电极电连接的第一信号传输结构,不需要针对第一信号传输结构单独设置保护层,从而可以省去针对第一信号传输结构单独设置保护层步骤中用到的掩膜板。
本发明的至少一个实施例提供了一种触控结构,如图2至图3d所示,该触控结构包括衬底基板90和设置于衬底基板90上的绝缘层30、第一触控电极10、第二触控电极20和第一信号传输结构41;第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20彼此相交,图2中以第一触控电极10沿横向延伸、第二触控电极20纵向延伸为例进行说明,当然,二者的方向也可以相反或者为其他方向。绝缘层30包括第一部分31,该第一部分31设置于第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20相交的位置处且位于第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20之间以将二者绝缘。第一信号传输结构41与第一触控电极10电连接,绝缘层30还包括与第一部分31同层设置的第二部分32,第二部分32覆盖第一信号传输结构41,即,第二部分32设置于第一信号传输结构41上方,并且在第一信号传输结构41所在面上的正投影与第一信号传输结构41有重叠部分。
在图2中,被绝缘层30覆盖的结构用虚线表示,未被绝缘层30覆盖的结构用实线表示。
需要说明的是,本公开中第一部分31与第二部分32同层设置,是指第一部分31与第二部分32由同一膜层形成。例如,可以通过首先形成绝缘薄膜、然后对该绝缘薄膜进行图案化处理的方式形成第一部分31和第二部分32。第一部分31和第二部分32可以彼此间隔开,也可以彼此至少部分连接。本发明的以下实施例中,“同层设置”都是指由同一膜层形成。
此外,图3a至图3d示出了多个第一信号传输结构41,每个第一信号传输结构41可以与一个第一触控电极10电连接,图3a至图3d仅以一个第一信号传输结构41与第一触控电极10电连接为例进行说明。
绝缘层30用于使第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20彼此绝缘,并且可 以保护第一信号传输结构41不被氧化、划伤。绝缘层30的材料可以包括有机材料,例如树脂等,或者包括无机材料,例如二氧化硅、氮化硅、氧氮化硅等。
例如,第一信号传输结构41的形成材料可以包括金属,例如,铜、铝、镁、钼、锆、钛、铅等金属中的至少一种或它们的适当的合金。例如,第一信号传输结构41可以包括导线和接触垫中的至少一个。
例如,第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20的形成材料可以包括透明的导电金属氧化物,例如,ITO(氧化铟锡)、IGZO(氧化铟镓锌)、IZO(氧化铟锌)等材料中的至少一种。
第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41电连接的部分(如图3a和图3d所示中第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41直接电连接的子电极11所示)可以设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90的一侧,即,第一触控电极10可以包括与第一信号传输结构41直接电连接且设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90的一侧的部分;或者第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41直接电连接的部分也可以设置于绝缘层30的靠近衬底基板90的一侧并且位于绝缘层30与第一信号传输结构41之间(如图3c所示);或者第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41直接电连接的部分也可以设置于绝缘层30的靠近衬底基板90的一侧并且设置于第一信号传输结构41与衬底基板90之间(如图3b所示)。
在第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41电连接的部分设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90的一侧的情形中,例如,第一信号传输结构41可以通过绝缘层30的第二部分32中设置的至少一个过孔30b与第一触控电极10电连接。图3a至图3d中仅示出了第一信号传输结构41通过一个过孔30b与第一触控电极10电连接。图4示出了第一信号传输结构41通过多个过孔30b与第一触控电极(图4中未示出)电连接。如图4所示,第一信号传输结构41包括例如一体形成的接触垫41a和导线41b(图4中仅示出了导线41b的一部分),接触垫41a所在的区域中设置有多个过孔30b。
在本发明实施例中,第一信号传输结构41通过多个过孔30b与第一触控电极10(或第二触控电极20)电连接,可以降低因第一触控电极10(或第二触控电极20)在过孔30b处出现剥离(peeling)现象而造成的整体上断路 的风险。
例如,本发明实施例提供的触控结构可以采用导电桥式触控结构,也就是说,如图2至图3d所示,第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20中的一个可以包括至少一个导电桥和彼此间隔设置的多个子电极,相邻的子电极通过一个导电桥电连接,导电桥设置在第一触控电极与第二触控电极相交的位置处,而第一触控电极和第二触控电极中的另一个与子电极同层设置但与导电桥异层设置。例如,在图3a至图3d中,第一触控电极10包括至少一个导电桥12和彼此间隔设置的多个子电极11(图3a和图3b仅示出了一个导电桥12和两个子电极11),相邻的子电极11通过导电桥12电连接在一起,即,每个子电极11通过绝缘层30中的过孔30a与导电桥12电连接在一起;第二触控电极20与子电极11同层设置,但与导电桥12异层设置。图3a至图3d仅以第一触控电极10包括子电极11和导电桥12为例进行说明,但本发明不限于该结构。
子电极11和导电桥12可以分别位于绝缘层30的任意两侧(即,面向衬底基板90的一侧和远离衬底基板90的一侧)。例如,如图3a和图3d所示,导电桥12设置于绝缘层30的第一部分31和衬底基板90之间,子电极11设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90的一侧。或者,例如,如图3b和图3c所示,导电桥12设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90的一侧,子电极11设置于绝缘层30和衬底基板90之间。
例如,如图2所示,本发明实施例提供的触控结构还可以包括第二信号传输结构42,第二信号传输结构42与第二触控电极20电连接,以实现第二触控电极与触控芯片之间的电连接。例如,第二信号传输结构42可以与41第一信号传输结构同层设置。
在触控结构采用导电桥式触控结构的情形中,例如,如图3a至图3d所示,由于第二触控电极20与第一触控电极10的子电极11同层设置,在第一信号传输结构41与第二信号传输结构42同层设置的情况下,第二触控电极20与第二信号传输结构42电连接的方式可以与第一触控电极10与第一信号传输结构41电连接的方式相同;同理,当第二触控电极20包括子电极时,第二触控电极20与第二信号传输结构42电连接的方式也可以和第一触控电极10与第一信号传输结构41电连接的方式相同。
当然,根据实际情况,第二信号传输结构42与第一信号传输结构41也可以不同层设置。例如,可以在形成第二触控电极20的同时形成与第二触控电极20电连接的第二信号传输结构,以实现第二触控电极20与触控芯片之间的电连接。本发明实施例包括、但不限于此。
在图3a和图3b所示情形中,绝缘层30的第二部分32与第一信号传输结构41直接接触。在图3c和图3d所示的情形中,绝缘层30的第二部分32可以不与第一信号传输结构41直接接触。
在第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41电连接的部分设置于绝缘层30的靠近衬底基板90的一侧的情况下,例如,如图3c所示,可以使第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41电连接的部分覆盖第一信号传输结构41。这样可以更充分地保护第一信号传输结构41,并且降低第一信号传输结构41因发生undercut(塌陷)现象而造成的不良影响。在这种情况下,例如,绝缘层30的第二部分32可以覆盖并且与第一触控电极10的该部分直接接触。
在第一触控电极10的与第一信号传输结构41电连接的部分设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90的一侧的情况下,例如,如图3d所示,在导电桥12设置于绝缘层30的第一部分31和衬底基板90之间的情形下,在绝缘层30的第二部分32与衬底基板90之间可以设置有导电连接部70,导电连接部70覆盖且电连接第一信号传输结构41,即,导电连接部70设置于第一信号传输结构41的远离衬底基板90的一侧并且与第一信号传输结构41直接接触;并且,导电连接部70与第一触控电极10的导电桥12同层设置,也就是说,利用形成导电桥12的膜层形成导电连接部70。
图5a为本发明实施例中第一信号传输结构41被导电连接部70覆盖的俯视示意图;图5b为本发明实施例中第一信号传输结构41在与触控芯片电连接的位置处(即,Bonding位置处)的剖视示意图。如图5a和图5b所示,导电连接部70覆盖且电连接第一信号传输结构41,这样可以充分地保护第一信号传输结构41,并且可以尽量防止第一信号传输结构41因发生undercut(塌陷)现象造成的不良影响;并且,由于导电连接部70与导电桥12同层设置,因此,设置导电连接部70不会增加额外的制作工艺。当然,如图5b所示,在导电连接部70之上还可以设置有形成第一触控电极10的子电极11 和第二触控电极12的膜层的保留部分(图中未标出)。
由于导电桥12通常采用导电金属氧化物等材料制作并且导电连接部70与导电桥12同层设置,因此,导电连接部70的形成材料也可以包括导电金属氧化物,例如,ITO(氧化铟锡)、IGZO(氧化铟镓锌)、IZO(氧化铟锌)等材料中的至少一种。当导电桥12采用金属制作时,导电连接部70的材料也相应地改变。与采用金属材料相比,导电桥采用导电金属氧化物可以更好地保护第一信号传输结构41不被氧化,并且保证第一信号传输结构41通过导电连接部70与第一触控电极10电连接。
以上实施例以触控结构采用导电桥式触控结构为例进行说明。当然,本发明实施例提供的触控结构也可以采用本领域常用的非导电桥式触控结构,只要在第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20相交的位置处,绝缘层30设置于第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20之间并且将二者绝缘即可。
例如,如图6a至图6d所示,第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20中的一个可以设置于绝缘层30和衬底基板90之间,且另一个设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90一侧。也就是说,第一触控电极10可以设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90的一侧(如图6a和图6d所示);或者,第一触控电极10可以设置于绝缘层30的靠近衬底基板90的一侧并且设置于第一信号传输结构41与衬底基板90之间(如图6b所示);或者,第一触控电极10可以设置于绝缘层30的靠近衬底基板90的一侧并且设置于绝缘层30与第一信号传输结构41之间(如图6c所示)。
为了更充分地保护第一信号传输结构41,并且降低第一信号传输结构41因发生undercut(塌陷)现象而造成的不良影响,例如,可以通过以下方式对第一信号传输结构41进行进一步保护。
例如,如图6c所示,第一触控电极10设置于绝缘层30的第二部分32与第一信号传输结构41之间,并且第一触控电极10覆盖第一信号传输结构41,在这种情况下,绝缘层30的第二部分32覆盖第一触控电极10的该部分并且与第一触控电极10直接接触。
或者,例如,如图6d所示,当第一触控电极10设置于绝缘层30的远离衬底基板90一侧时,在绝缘层30的第二部分32与衬底基板90之间还可以设置有导电连接部70,导电连接部70覆盖且电连接第一信号传输结构41, 即,导电连接部70设置于第一信号传输结构41的远离衬底基板90的一侧并且与第一信号传输结构41直接接触;并且,导电连接部70与第二触控电极20同层设置。
在图6a至图6d所示的触控结构中,由于第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20位于绝缘层30的两侧,第一触控电极10和第二触控电极20的信号引出方式不同。例如,当第一触控电极10与第一信号传输结构41按照图6a或图6d所示的方式电连接时,第二触控电极10可以按照例如图6b或图6c所示的方式与第二信号传输结构(包括导线和接触垫中的至少一个)电连接,以实现与触控芯片电连接;或者,例如,当第一触控电极10与第一信号传输结构41按照图6b或图6c所示的方式电连接时,第二触控电极10可以按照例如图6a或图6d所示的方式与第二信号传输结构电连接;或者,例如,可以在形成第二触控电极20的同时形成与第二触控电极20电连接的第二信号传输结构。本发明实施例包括、但不限于此。
图6a至图6d所示触控结构中,各组成部分的设置可以参考图3a至图3d所示的桥点式触控结构中的相关描述,重复之处不再赘述。
本发明实施例提供的触控结构的俯视图可以与图1a所示的情形类似,因此本发明实施例不再单独提供相关附图。
本发明实施例提供的触控结构既可以应用于OGS触控屏中,也可以应用于MLOC(Multi-layer On Cell)触控屏中。在OGS触控屏中,如图3a至图3d和图6a至图6d所示,衬底基板90上在对应第一信号传输结构41的位置处还可以设置有黑矩阵层50;在MLOC触控屏中,衬底基板90上无需制作黑矩阵层。
本发明的至少一个实施例还提供了一种触控基板,其包括上述任一实施例提供的触控结构。

图7a和图7b中各标记与以上触控结构的实施例中的标记相同,此处不再赘述。
例如,该显示装置可以为:液晶面板、电子纸、OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode)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。
本发明的至少一个实施例还提供了一种触控结构的制作方法,该方法包括:在衬底基板上形成彼此相交的第一触控电极和第二触控电极;在衬底基板上形成第一信号传输结构,第一信号传输结构与第一触控电极电连接;以及在形成第一信号传输结构之后,在衬底基板上形成绝缘薄膜并对其进行图案化处理,以形成包括第一部分和第二部分的绝缘层,第一部分形成于第一触控电极和第二触控电极相交的位置处且位于第一触控电极和第二触控电极之间以将二者绝缘,第二部分覆盖第一信号传输结构。

例如,上述形成第一信号传输结构的步骤还可以包括形成第二信号传输结构,第二信号传输结构与第二触控电极电连接。在这种情况下,第一信号传输结构与第二信号传输结构同层设置。
