背景技术
随着技术的发展以及市场的需求，触控面板的边框越来越向窄边框发展。
目前市场上的触控面板基本采用金属引线作为信号传输线，金属引线具有不透明的特点，且目前市场上的触控面板中的触控信号传输线均为一层铺设而成，为了保证信号传输的稳定性，金属引线须具有一定的宽度，但是，这使得触控面板的边框不能实现真正意义上的窄边框。

具体实施方式
为使本领域的技术人员更好地理解本公开的技术方案，下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开所提供的触控面板及其制备方法和显示装置作进一步详细描述。
第一实施例
本实施例提供一种触控面板，如图1和图2所示，该触控面板包括基板1、设置在基板1上的触控区域11中的触控电极2和设置在基板1上的非触控区域的边框走线区域12中的多条信号传输线3，信号传输线3连接触控电极2，用于传输触控信号，边框走线区域12中的信号传输线3分布在相互叠覆的至少两层中，且相邻层中的信号传输线3之间相互绝缘。
本实施例中，信号传输线3分布在相互叠覆的至少两层中是指信号传输线3位于至少两个不同的层中，且所述至少两个不同的层中的信号传输线3在基板1上的正投影至少部分重合，与信号传输线3铺设在同一层中相比，信号传输线3位于至少两个不同的层中、且所述至少两个不同的层中的信号传输线3在基板1 上的正投影至少部分重合减小了信号传输线3的占用面积。
也就是说，本实施例中的触控面板通过使边框走线区域12中的信号传输线3分布在相互叠覆的至少两层中，能够减小信号传输线3在边框走线区域12中的占用面积，从而使触控面板的边框走线区域12能够变得更窄，进而能够使触控面板具有真正意义上的窄边框。
需要说明的是，边框走线区域12通常只占用触控面板的部分边框，如图1中所示，边框走线区域12占用了矩形触控面板的三边边框，通过将信号传输线3设置在至少两层中，大大减小了信号传输线3的占用面积，使触控面板的三边边框变得更窄，触控面板的另外一边边框用于将信号传输线3与***电路板进行连接。
本实施例中，触控电极2可以包括多个第一电极条21和多个第二电极条22，第一电极条21和第二电极条22相互交叉，且在交叉处相互绝缘，每个第一电极条21连接两条信号传输线3，每个第二电极条22连接两条信号传输线3，连接第一电极条21的两条信号传输线3分别连接第一电极条21的两端，连接第二电极条22的两条信号传输线3分别连接第二电极条22的两端，一部分信号传输线3分布在边框走线区域12中的第一层中，另一部分信号传输线3分布在边框走线区域12中的第二层中，在第一层信号传输线3与第二层信号传输线3之间还设有第一绝缘层4。第一绝缘层4能使第一层信号传输线3与第二层信号传输线3之间相互绝缘。相比于将所有信号传输线3都分布在边框走线区域12中的同一层中的情况，将信号传输线3分布在边框走线区域12中的两层中能使信号传输线3在边框走线区域12中的占用面积大大减小，从而能使边框走线区域12变得更窄，进而能够使触控面板具有窄边框。另外，每个第一电极条21和每个第二电极条22分别连接两条信号传输线3，可以有效降低方阻，使触控面板具有更好的触控效果。
需要说明的是，分别分布在两层中的信号传输线3的数量可 以相等、也可以不等，无论相等或不等，都能在一定程度上减小信号传输线3在边框走线区域12中的占用面积。
本实施例中，第一电极条21为用于互电容触控的驱动电极，第二电极条22为用于互电容触控的感应电极，或者反之。连接第一电极条21的信号传输线3用于向第一电极条21施加触控驱动信号，连接第二电极条22的信号传输线3用于传送第二电极条22的触控感应信号。
本实施例中，一半数量的连接第一电极条21和连接第二电极条22的信号传输线3可以位于第一层中，另一半数量的连接第一电极条21和连接第二电极条22的信号传输线3可以位于第二层中，且第一层信号传输线3和第二层信号传输线3在基板1上的正投影完全重合。如此设置，能使边框走线区域12的宽度减小一半，从而使触控面板具有真正意义上的窄边框。
本实施例中，触控面板还可以包括黑矩阵5，黑矩阵5设置在边框走线区域12中，第二层信号传输线3位于第一层信号传输线3的远离基板1的一侧，黑矩阵5位于第一层信号传输线3的邻近基板1的一侧。黑矩阵5能够对触控面板的边框走线区域12进行遮挡，从而避免信号传输线3对与触控面板对应设置的显示面板的显示造成影响。
本实施例中，第一电极条21可以包括多个第一电极片211和多条第一连接线212，第一连接线212用于将各第一电极片211连接形成第一电极条21，第二电极条22可以包括多个第二电极片221和多条第二连接线222，第二连接线222用于将各第二电极片221连接形成第二电极条22。第一电极条21与第二电极片221同层设置，第二连接线222位于第一连接线212的远离基板1的一侧，且与第一连接线212相交叉，在第一连接线212与第二连接线222之间还夹设有第二绝缘层6，第二绝缘层6能使第一连接线212与第二连接线222之间相互绝缘。利用上述结构设置，能通过第一电极条21和第二电极条22实现互电容触控。
本实施例中，触控面板还可以包括非触控的连接区域13， 第一层信号传输线3和第二层信号传输线3还延伸至连接区域13，在连接区域13中，第一层信号传输线3和第二层信号传输线3与***电路板连接，第一层信号传输线3和第二层信号传输线3在连接区域13中位于同一层上，黑矩阵5还延伸至连接区域13，且黑矩阵5在基板1上的正投覆盖连接区域13。连接区域13中所有的信号传输线3均位于同一层中是由于连接的需要，这样便于信号传输线3与***电路板(如触控驱动芯片)连接。
本实施例中，触控面板还可以包括绝缘保护层7，绝缘保护层7设置在触控电极2和信号传输线3的远离基板1的一侧，绝缘保护层7在基板1上的正投影覆盖触控区域11和边框走线区域12。绝缘保护层7能够对设置在基板1上的触控电极2和信号传输线3形成保护，使其免受外界损坏。
基于本实施例的触控面板的上述结构，本实施例还提供一种该触控面板的制备方法，如图3-图16所示，所述制备方法包括：采用构图工艺在基板1上的触控区域11中形成包括触控电极2的图形；采用构图工艺在基板1上的非触控的边框走线区域12中形成包括相互叠覆的至少两层信号传输线3的图形，其中，相邻层中的信号传输线3之间相互绝缘，且信号传输线3与触控电极2连接，用于传输触控信号。

步骤S11：通过一次构图工艺在完成步骤S10的边框走线区域12中形成包括第一绝缘层4的图形(如图7和图8所示)。
本实施例中，第一绝缘层4采用无机绝缘材料，如氮化硅材料(SiNx)。步骤S11中的构图工艺包括成膜(如涂布成膜)、曝光、显影和刻蚀(干刻)等工艺步骤，具体各个工艺步骤不再赘述。
需要说明的是，第一绝缘层4也可以采用有机绝缘材料，如光学透明(Optical Clear，OC)材料等。
步骤S11还可以包括在连接区域13中的第一层信号传输线3上形成第一绝缘层4，而不在连接区域13中的第一层信号传输线3以外的部分上形成第一绝缘层4，以便后续能使位于连接区域13中的第二层信号传输线3和第一层信号传输线3处于同一层中。
步骤S12：通过一次构图工艺在完成步骤S11的边框走线区域12中形成包括第二层信号传输线3的图形(如图13和图14所示)。
步骤S12中，第二层信号传输线3的材料和构图工艺步骤可以与第一层信号传输线3的材料和构图工艺步骤相同，这里不再赘述。
步骤S12还可以包括：在连接区域13中的第一层信号传输线3以外的部分上形成包括第二层信号传输线3的图形，且连接区域13中的第二层信号传输线3与边框走线区域12中的第二层信号传输线3通过一次构图工艺同时形成。
在步骤S12之后，所述制备方法还可以包括步骤：将连接区域13中的第一层信号传输线3上的第一绝缘层4去除。
通过步骤S10至S12，能在连接区域13中形成位于同一层中的第一层信号传输线3和第二层信号传输线3。
本实施例中，在步骤S10之前，所述制备方法还可以包括步 骤：采用构图工艺在边框走线区域12中形成包括黑矩阵5的图形(如图3和图4所示)。该步骤中的构图工艺包括成膜、曝光和显影等工艺步骤，具体各个工艺步骤不再赘述。

例如，第二连接线222和第二层信号传输线3可以采用相同材料(例如金属材料)且在一次构图工艺中同时形成。这样能够减少一次构图工艺步骤。同时，由于金属材料的第二连接线222的面积极小，所以基本不会影响与触控面板对应设置的显示面板的正常显示。
