  • Patent number: 11520183
    Abstract: A touch front light module includes a touch light-guiding unit, a light-emitting unit, and a protective layer. The touch light-guiding unit includes a glass board, a touch layer disposed on a top surface of the glass board, and a microstructure layer disposed on a bottom surface of the glass board and which has a plurality of microstructures for light scattering. The light-emitting unit is disposed on a lateral side of the touch light-guiding unit and is configured to emit light to be incident on the lateral surface of the glass board. The protective layer is disposed on the touch layer. A touch display device including a display module and the touch front light module disposed on the display module is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11419223
    Abstract: A touch display module has plural sensors and includes an integrated frame, a backlight module, a thin film transistor substrate, a color filter, and a polarizer. The integrated frame has a bottom plate portion and a side plate portion, and the side plate portion stands on the bottom plate portion. The backlight module is disposed on the bottom plate portion. The thin film transistor substrate is disposed on the backlight module. The color filter is disposed on the thin film transistor substrate. The polarizer is disposed on the color filter. One surface of the polarizer is an outer surface of the touch display module. The thin film transistor substrate and/or the color filter is connected to the side plate portion of the integrated frame. Therefore, by using the integrated frame to integrate required components into one mechanical part, the touch display module has thinner thickness and lighter weight.
