  • Patent number: 11243629
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to touch display devices. A shielding pattern to which a constant voltage is applied is placed between the touch routing line and the encapsulation part without overlapping the touch routing line. Thus, it is possible to block the noise due to the signal line positioned under the encapsulation part by the electric field generated by the shielding pattern. Further, the metal disposed on the same layer as the shielding pattern in the planarized area of the encapsulation part may be used as a touch routing line, reducing the resistance and width of the touch routing line and hence the planarized area of the encapsulation part. Thus, it is possible to provide a touch display device for which an increase in the non-active area has been reduced and display noise has been reduced upon touch sensing.

  • Publication number: 20220004282
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to a touch display device, as a portion of a touch routing line is disposed on an area surrounded by a touch electrode line on an active area and is electrically connected to the touch electrode line, the touch routing line can be disposed on the active area while reducing an influence of a noise. Thus, as an additional arrangement of the touch routing line and a free adjustment of a connecting point of the touch routing line become possible without an increase of an area for arranging the touch routing line, a load by the touch routing line and a difference of a sensitivity according to positions of the touch electrode line are reduced and a performance of a touch sensing can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20210263608
    Abstract: Provided is a touch display device. Because a shielding electrode, which is disposed in a non-active area and electrically coupled between a common electrode and a common voltage supply line, is located between a touch routing line and a signal line, the effects of noise caused by the signal line on the touch routing line may be reduced. Further, an encapsulation portion located on the shielding electrode has a planarized structure. The resulting maintenance of a certain distance between the shielding electrode and the touch routing line may reduce noise caused by the signal line from indirectly affecting the touch routing line through the shielding electrode.

  • Patent number: 11099677
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to touch display devices. The difference in parasitic capacitance due to the difference in length between the touch routing lines may be reduced by separately arranging touch electrode lines in the active area and connecting the touch routing line connected with each portion of a touch electrode line with the touch routing line connected with each portion of another touch electrode line. Therefore, it is possible to reduce loads and the differences in touch sensing depending on the connection structure and position of the touch routing line by driving the touch electrode line in a double-routing structure. By so doing, the performance of touch sensing may be enhanced.
