Touch substrate and touch liquid crystal display panel

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a touch substrate and a touch liquid crystal display panel.

In a related art, for a touch display panel, such as an on cell touch panel or a One Glass Solution (OGS) touch panel and the like, a transparent conductive film (which is generally formed by Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)) with a certain touch structure is arranged on a surface of a glass substrate so as to achieve a touch function. A refractive index of a transparent conductive film material (ITO) is generally greater than that of glass, which can cause a case that transmittance of a portion on a display screen, which is covered with the transparent conductive film material, is smaller than that of a hollow portion uncovered with the transparent conductive film material, thus resulting alternately dark and bright touch strips on the display screen.

A conventional liquid crystal display module with a heating function generally is formed by three components: a backlight plate, a heating plate and a liquid crystal display panel. The heating plate is generally placed between the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight board, or is placed on a surface of the liquid crystal display module. The liquid crystal panel is heated by the heating plate. This structure not only increase a thickness and a weight of the liquid crystal display module, but also is poor in heating effect due to a case that the heating plate is far away from liquid crystals.

Another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a touch liquid crystal display panel, comprising: an array substrate, a counter substrate, and a liquid crystal layer arranged between the array substrate and the counter substrate, wherein the array substrate includes a first base substrate and a plurality of pixel units formed on the first base substrate, and the counter substrate includes a second base substrate; and the touch liquid crystal display panel further comprising: a plurality of touch electrodes formed on at least one of the first base substrate and the second base substrate, and a conductive layer formed on at least one of the first base substrate and the second base substrate, wherein the conductive layer is configured to generate heat in a state of being applied with a voltage, the touch liquid crystal display panel has an active display region, the plurality of touch electrodes and the conductive layer are positioned in the active display region, the conductive layer is electrically insulated from any of the touch electrodes, and in a direction perpendicular to the second base substrate, the conductive layer is not overlapped with any of the touch electrodes.

One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , with reference to FIG. 1 , including an array substrate 10 , a counter substrate 20 , and a liquid crystal layer 30 arranged between the array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20 .

The array substrate 10 includes a first base substrate 101 and a plurality of pixel units 102 formed on the first base substrate 101 . Although not shown in FIG. 1 , the array substrate further includes a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines. These gate lines and data lines intersect with each other so as to define the pixel units 102 arranged in a matrix; each pixel unit 102 includes a thin film transistor (not shown) serving as a switching element and a pixel electrode for controlling arrangement of liquid crystals. The pixel electrode is configured for applying an electric field to control a rotation degree of liquid crystal molecules so as to carry out a display operation. For example, a gate electrode of the thin film transistor of each pixel unit and the corresponding gate line are electrically connected or integrally formed, a source electrode and the corresponding data line are electrically connected or integrally formed, and a drain electrode and the corresponding pixel electrode are electrically connected or integrally formed. In FIG. 1 , exemplarily, the plurality of pixel electrodes 102 represents a plurality of pixel units 102 .

The counter substrate 20 includes a second base substrate 201 and a plurality of touch electrodes 202 formed on an upper surface of the second base substrate and arranged periodically. As shown in FIG. 1 , the counter substrate 20 further includes a black matrix 204 and a color filter layer 205 which are formed on the second base substrate 201 . In another embodiment, the black matrix 204 and the color filter layer 205 , for example, may be formed in the array substrate 10 . Although not shown in FIG. 1 , the counter substrate 20 , for example, may further include a common electrode layer for controlling rotation of the liquid crystal molecules together with the plurality of pixel electrodes 102 on the array substrate 10 .

The touch liquid crystal display panel 1 further includes: a conductive layer 203 formed on a lower surface of the second base substrate 201 . The conductive layer 203 is configured to generate heat in a state of being applied with a voltage. The conductive layer 203 is electrically insulated from any of the touch electrodes 202 .

The touch liquid crystal display panel 1 has one active display region D and a peripheral region P surrounding the active display region D. The plurality of touch electrodes 202 and the conductive layer 203 are all positioned in the active display region D.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 used as a heating layer is embedded into a structure of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , so that on one hand, a display effect and a touch effect of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 at a low temperature are improved, and on the other hand, a weight and a thickness of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 are not increased and lighting and thinning of the touch liquid crystal display panel are implemented.

FIG. 2 shows a top-view structural schematic diagram of the touch liquid crystal display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the plurality of touch electrodes 202 formed on the upper surface of the second base substrate 201 of the counter substrate 20 , for example, includes a plurality of rectangular touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 and a plurality of strip touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 . The touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 are arranged in a matrix of 5 rows and 3 columns, and three touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 are respectively arranged on a right side of each column of touch driving electrodes. It is understood that both the numbers and the shapes of the touch driving electrodes and the touch sensing electrodes herein are exemplary. The touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 and the touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 are periodically arranged on the second base substrate 201 . In the embodiment, the touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 and the touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 are arranged in a same layer level and are formed by a same transparent conductive material (e.g., indium tin oxide). In another embodiment, the touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 and the touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 may be positioned in different layer levels in the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . Moreover, a forming material of the touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 may be different from that of the touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 .

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in a direction perpendicular to the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , i.e., in a direction perpendicular to the second base substrate 201 , the conductive 203 is not overlapped with each touch electrode 202 . Namely, an orthogonal projection of the conductive layer 203 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is not overlapped with an orthogonal projection of each touch electrode 202 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 . Herein, a case that two orthogonal projections are not overlapped includes a case that edges of the two projections are partially overlapped.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing distribution of the plurality of gap regions according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the active display region D of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 includes a plurality of first gap regions D 1 , a plurality of second gap regions D 2 and a plurality of third gap regions D 3 , which are not occupied by the plurality of touch electrodes 203 . Herein, it should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the active display region D, the peripheral region P and the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 all refer to regions running through an entire thickness range of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . For example, with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , in the direction perpendicular to the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , the active display region D is not overlapped with the peripheral region P; and the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 are not overlapped with each other. For example, with reference to FIG. 3 , a combination (i.e., a combination of gray regions with different gray scales) of all the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 is complementary to a combination (a white region) of regions occupied by the plurality of touch electrodes 203 . That is, all the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 and the regions occupied by the plurality of touch electrodes 203 , for example, together constitute the active display region D. Herein, the active display region D, the peripheral region P and the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 are also correspondingly applicable to regional division of the array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20 of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . Namely, the array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20 can also be correspondingly divided into an active display region D and a peripheral region P, wherein the active display region D includes a plurality of non-overlapped first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 which are not occupied by the plurality of touch electrodes 203 . Herein, the active display regions D, the peripheral regions P and the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 of the array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20 also means regions respectively running through entire thickness ranges of the array substrate 10 and the counter substrate 20 .

In FIG. 3 , the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 are respectively shown by a small gray scale region, an intermediate gray scale region and a large gray scale region.

For example, the first gap region D 1 is a longitudinal strip gap region shown by a small gray scale in FIG. 3 . An orthogonal projection of the first gap region D 1 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is abutted with left edges of orthogonal projections of one column of touch driving electrodes on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , and for example, a right edge of the orthogonal projection of the left first gap region D 1 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is overlapped with the left edge of the orthogonal projections of the respective touch driving electrodes T 11 -T 51 in the left column on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , and an upper edge, a lower edge and a left edge of the left first gap region D 1 are overlapped with corresponding edges of the active display region D. A right edge of an orthogonal projection of the middle first gap region D 1 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is overlapped with the left edges of the orthogonal projection of the respective touch driving electrodes T 12 -T 52 in the middle column on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , a left edge of the orthogonal projection of the middle first gap region D 1 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is overlapped with a right edge of an orthogonal projection of the left touch sensing electrode R 1 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , and an upper edge and a lower edge of the middle first gap region D 1 are overlapped with the corresponding edges of the active display region D. A right edge of an orthogonal projection of the right first gap region D 1 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is overlapped with the left edge of the orthogonal projection of the respective touch driving electrodes T 13 -T 53 in the right column on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , a left edge of the orthogonal projection of the right first gap region D 1 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is overlapped with a right edge of an orthogonal projection of the middle touch sensing electrode R 2 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , and an upper edge and a lower edge of the right first gap region D 1 are overlapped with the corresponding edges of the active display region D.

For example, the second gap region D 2 is a longitudinal strip gap region shown by an intermediate gray scale in FIG. 3 . An orthogonal projection of the second gap region D 2 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is abutted with right edges of orthogonal projections of the respective columns of the touch driving electrodes on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 and left edges of orthogonal projections of the respective strip touch sensing electrodes on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 . For example, a left edge of the orthogonal projection of each second gap region D 2 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is overlapped with the right edge of the orthogonal projection of each of the touch driving electrodes in the adjacent column on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 ; a right edge of the orthogonal projection of each second gap region D 2 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is overlapped with a left edge of an orthogonal projection of the adjacent touch sensing electrode on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , and an upper edge and a lower edge of each second gap region D 2 are correspondingly overlapped with an upper edge and a lower edge of the active display region D.

For example, the third gap region D 3 is a gap region in the active display region D except for the first gap region D 1 and the second gap region D 2 , and is shown by a large gray scale in FIG. 3 . With reference to FIG. 3 , an orthogonal projection of the third gap region D 3 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , for example, is overlapped with an upper edge, a lower edge or a side edge of an orthogonal projection of the touch electrode 202 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 .

That is, the edge of the orthogonal projection of each of the gap regions D 1 to D 3 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is at least partially overlapped with the edge of the orthogonal projection of at least one of the plurality of touch electrodes 202 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 .

It is understood that division of the first to third gap regions D 1 to D 3 is exemplary. In embodiments of the present disclosure, division of the gap regions is not limited thereto.

In the direction perpendicular to the second base substrate, the plurality of touch electrodes 202 are not overlapped with any of the gap regions.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 , for example, is positioned in at least one of the gap regions.

A sectional structure of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 shown in FIG. 1 , for example, is a sectional structure cut out along an I-I′ line shown in FIG. 2 . It should be noted that in order to clearly illustrate, dimension scales of corresponding structures in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 does not match. With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , in the embodiment, the conductive layer 203 , for example, is at least formed in the third gap region D 3 . The conductive layer 203 , for example, is formed by the transparent conductive material. For example, the forming material of the conductive layer 203 is the same with a forming material of the touch electrode 202 . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the conductive layer 203 , for example, fills in the third gap region D 3 between two adjacent touch driving electrodes in each column of touch driving electrodes.

In another embodiment, the conductive layer 203 , for example, fills in all of the first to third gap regions D 1 -D 3 in the active display region D of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , with reference to FIG. 4 . That is, the orthogonal projection of the conductive layer 203 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 and the orthogonal projections of the plurality of touch electrodes 202 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 cover all the upper surface of the second base substrate 201 in the active display region D. Further with reference to FIG. 4 , the conductive layer 203 is electrically connected to a voltage supply unit 208 . For example, an upper end of the conductive layer 203 is connected to a first terminal M 1 of the voltage supply unit 208 ; and lower ends of conductive strips S 1 to S 3 are connected to a second terminal M 2 of the voltage supply unit 208 . For example, in a working state, a potential of the first terminal M 1 of the voltage supply unit 208 is different from that of the second terminal M 2 of the voltage supply unit 208 . Therefore, the conductive layer 203 is applied with the voltage so as to generate heat for heating the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 .

Therefore, in the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the direction perpendicular to the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , the conductive layer 203 is not overlapped with any of the touch electrodes 202 . Therefore, a phenomenon of dark and bright strips of the touch liquid crystal display panel, which are caused by patterns of the touch electrodes, can be reduced or eliminated, so that when the low-temperature display effect and touch effect of the touch liquid crystal display panel are improved, display quality can be improved.

With further reference to FIG. 2 , the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 further includes at least one wiring formed on the second base substrate 201 and positioned in at least one of the first to third gap regions D 1 to D 3 . In the embodiment, for example, the at least one wiring includes a driving signal line L 1 formed in the first gap region D 1 and a common electrode line L 2 formed in the second gap region D 2 . The at least one wiring and the plurality of touch electrodes are positioned on a same layer level and formed by a same material. For example, the driving signal line L 1 and the common electrode line L 2 and the plurality of touch electrodes 202 are arranged on the same layer and formed by the same transparent conductive material. The driving signal line L 1 and the common electrode line L 2 , for example, are connected to a control unit 207 respectively via a plurality of metal traces L 3 positioned in the peripheral region. A plurality of driving signal lines L 1 positioned in the first gap region D 1 are respectively connected with the corresponding touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 , and are used for transmitting driving signals from the control unit 207 . The common electrode line L 2 , for example, receives a common signal from the control unit 207 . For example, all the common electrode lines L 2 are grounded.

With reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , five driving signal lines L 1 are formed in each first gap region D 1 , one common electrode line L 2 is formed in each second gap region D 2 , and no wiring is formed in the third gap region D 3 . For example, in a transverse direction, a width of each of the lines is 4 to 15 micrometers, and a width of each touch electrode is 1 to 2 millimeters. Therefore, a minimum width (e.g., a transverse width of the first gap region D 1 in FIG. 3 ) of the first gap region D 1 is formed to be greater than a minimum width (e.g., a transverse width of the second gap region D 2 in FIG. 3 ) of the second gap region D 2 , and the minimum width of the second gap region D 2 is formed to be greater than a minimum width (e.g., a longitudinal width of the third gap region D 3 positioned between two adjacent touch driving electrodes of the same column of touch driving electrodes in FIG. 3 ) of the third gap region D 3 . It should be noted that FIG. 3 only exemplarily shows distribution of the gap regions, but the shown size and scale of each gap region will not necessarily reflect the actual situation.

Corresponding to patterns of a common electrode 202 and a plurality of wirings L 1 and L 2 shown in FIG. 2 , the conductive layer 203 , for example, may have two patterns as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 6 .

In an example shown in FIG. 5 , the orthogonal projection of the conductive layer 203 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 is not overlapped with an orthogonal projection of any one of the plurality of wirings L 1 to L 2 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 , and the orthogonal projection of the conductive layer 203 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 and the orthogonal projections of the plurality of touch electrodes T 11 to T 53 and the plurality of wirings L 1 and L 2 on the upper surface K of the second base substrate 201 cover all the upper surface of the second base substrate 201 in the active display region D. With further reference to FIG. 5 , the conductive layer 203 is electrically connected to the voltage supply unit 208 . For example, the upper end of the conductive layer 203 is connected to the first terminal M 1 of the voltage supply unit 208 ; and the lower ends of conductive strips S 1 to S 3 are connected to the second terminal M 2 of the voltage supply unit 208 . For example, in the working state, the potential of the first terminal M 1 of the voltage supply unit 208 is different from that of the second terminal M 2 of the voltage supply unit 208 . Therefore, the conductive layer 203 is applied with the voltage so as to generate heat for heating the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . In this example, the conductive layer 203 sufficiently fills in regions of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , in which the plurality of transparent touch electrodes 202 and the plurality of wirings L 1 and L 2 are not arranged, so that the dark and bright strips of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 can be sufficiently avoided.

In the first gap region D 1 , a ratio of portions which are not occupied by the driving signal line L 1 is relatively high, and thus, the first gap region D 1 also becomes a main distribution region of the bright strips of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . In an example shown in FIG. 6 , the conductive layer 203 only fills in three first gap regions D 1 separated from each other, so that the conductive layer 203 is formed to only include three conductive strips S 1 to S 3 separated from each other. Therefore, in the direction perpendicular to the second base substrate, each driving signal line L 1 is overlapped with the corresponding conductive strip. The conductive strips S 1 to S 3 are all electrically connected to the voltage supply unit 208 . For example, upper ends of the conductive strips S 1 to S 3 are connected to the first terminal M 1 of the voltage supply unit 208 ; and lower ends of the conductive strips S 1 to S 3 are connected to the second terminal M 2 of the voltage supply unit 208 . For example, in the working state, the potential of the first terminal M 1 of the voltage supply unit 208 is different from that of the second terminal M 2 of the voltage supply unit 208 . Therefore, the conductive layer 203 is applied with the voltage so as to generate heat for heating a liquid crystal layer 30 of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . In this example, the conductive layer 203 is only formed in the first gap region D 1 with a relatively large minimum width, so that on one hand, a process difficulty and an alignment accuracy requirement of the conductive layer 203 are reduced, and on the other hand, generation of the dark and bright strips of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 can also be effectively avoided.

The voltage supply unit 208 , for example, is a flexible printed circuit board.

In another example which is not shown, the conductive layer 203 only fills in three first gap regions D 1 separated from each other and three second gap regions D 3 separated from each other.

In the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 and the plurality of touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 are formed at the same layer level, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the plurality of touch driving electrodes T 11 to T 53 may be formed in a different layer level from the plurality of touch sensing electrodes R 1 to R 3 , in the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 .

Moreover, in the embodiments above of the present disclosure, the plurality of touch electrodes 202 and the conductive layer 203 are all formed on the second base substrate 201 , but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the plurality of touch electrodes 202 are formed on the second base substrate 201 , but the conductive layer 203 is formed on the first base substrate 101 .

Moreover, in the embodiments above of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 is formed at one layer level, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereof. In another embodiment, a portion of the conductive layer 203 may be formed on the first base substrate 101 , and the another portion of the conductive layer 203 may be formed on the second base substrate 201 .

Moreover, the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 , for example, further includes a temperature sensor 206 arranged on the counter substrate 20 and configured for detecting a temperature of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . For example, the temperature sensor 206 can carry out real-time detection on the temperature of the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 . The temperature sensor 206 , for example, is arranged in the peripheral region P.

For example, the touch liquid crystal display panel 1 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, is formed via a method below: firstly, forming the conductive layer 203 on a lower surface of the second base substrate 201 (e.g., a glass substrate); then sequentially forming the black matrix 204 , the color filter layer (e.g., a R/G/B resin layer) and post spacers (not shown) on the conductive layer 203 ; and next, after carrying out cell assembling of the second base substrate 201 on which the structures are formed and the array substrate 10 , forming the plurality of touch electrodes 202 on an outer surface of the second base substrate 201 .

In the embodiment above, the conductive layer 203 is formed between the lower surface of the second base substrate 201 and the black matrix 204 as well as the color filter layer 205 , but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

With reference to FIG. 7 , in a counter substrate of a touch liquid crystal display panel provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 is formed between the color filter layer 205 and the post spacers 209 on the lower surface of the second base substrate 201 . The counter substrate, for example, is formed via a method below: firstly, sequentially forming the black matrix 204 and the color filter layer (e.g., the R/G/B resin layer) on the lower surface of the second base substrate (e.g., the glass substrate); then, forming the conductive layer 203 on the lower surface of the color filter layer (e.g., the R/G/B resin layer), and forming the post spacers on the conductive layer 203 ; and next, after carrying out cell assembling of the second base substrate 201 on which the structures above are formed and the array substrate 10 , forming the plurality of touch electrodes 202 on the upper surface of the second base substrate 201 .

With reference to FIG. 8 , in a counter substrate of a touch liquid crystal display panel provided by yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 and the plurality of touch electrodes 202 are all formed on the upper surface of the second base substrate 201 , and an insulating layer 210 is formed between the conductive layer 203 and the plurality of touch electrodes 202 . The counter substrate, for example, is formed via a method below: firstly, sequentially forming the black matrix 204 , the color filter layer (e.g., the R/G/B resin layer) and the post spacers 209 on the lower surface of the second base substrate (e.g., the glass substrate); and then, after carrying out cell assembling of the second base substrate 201 on which the structures above are formed and the array substrate 10 , sequentially forming the conductive layer 203 , the insulating layer 210 and the plurality of touch electrodes 202 on the upper surface of the second base substrate 201 .

With reference to FIG. 9 , in a counter substrate of a touch liquid crystal display panel provided by a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 is formed between the upper surface of the base substrate and the black matrix 204 as well as the color filter layer 205 . The counter substrate, for example, is formed via a method below: firstly, forming the post spacers 209 on the lower surface of the second base substrate (e.g., the glass substrate); and then, after carrying out cell assembling of the second base substrate 201 on which the post spacers 209 is formed and the array substrate 10 , sequentially forming the conductive layer 203 , the black matrix 204 , the color filter layer (e.g., the R/G/B resin layer) and the plurality of touch electrodes 202 on the upper surface of the second base substrate 201 .

It is understood that in another embodiment, the post spacers 209 may also be formed on the base substrate 10 .

Moreover, the counter substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure not only can be used for the touch liquid crystal display panel, but also can be used for touch displays, such as an organic light-emitting display panel, electronic paper and the like.

It can be understood that the counter substrate 20 in the embodiments above is one of touch substrates. In the embodiments above of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 and the plurality of touch electrodes 202 are formed on at least one of the first base substrate 101 and the second base substrate 201 , but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In a touch substrate provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer 203 , the plurality of touch electrodes 202 , the plurality of wirings and the like, for example, may be formed on a third base substrate, and the third base substrate is different from the first base substrate 101 and the second base substrate 201 of the liquid crystal display panel. A layout mode of the conductive layer 203 , the plurality of touch electrodes 202 , the plurality of wirings and the like on the third base substrate is substantially the same with that of the conductive layer 203 , the plurality of touch electrodes 202 , the plurality of wirings and the like on the second base substrate 201 .
