The manufacturing process of this layer of polyvinylidene fluoride layer 600 can be coating; this polyvinylidene fluoride layer 600 is preferably not in contact with the polyvinylidene fluoride sheet 110, so it can be used between the polyvinylidene fluoride layer 600 and the polyvinylidene fluoride sheet. A buffer layer 610 is formed between 110, and the buffer layer 610 may be SiO<sub>x</sub>Or SiN<sub>x</sub>Or SiO<sub>x</sub>N<sub>y</sub>And other materials. The thickness of the polyvinylidene fluoride layer 600 is, for example, 0.1 μm to 200 μm, preferably 0.5 μm to 5 μm. Since the dielectric coefficient (k) of the polyvinylidene fluoride material itself is about 7, if the polyvinylidene fluoride layer 600 is disposed in the touch panel, the touch panel can have tactile feedback characteristics. Using the induced charge generated by the tactile feedback driving voltage, the design of the driving waveform achieves the effect of tactile feedback, and using the time-sharing driving of touch and feedback, the touch feedback element can achieve the effect of both touch and feedback; therefore The higher the dielectric constant of the insulating layer in the touch feedback element, the lower the driving voltage required for tactile feedback. Compared with the dielectric constant of general polymer materials, which is about 3, the dielectric constant of polyvinylidene fluoride The coefficient is about 7, so when the polyvinylidene fluoride layer 600 is configured in the touch panel, the touch panel can show a better feedback effect.
Table 1 below shows the comparison between the polyvinylidene fluoride layer of this embodiment and the polyimide (PI).

As polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has good anti-reflective properties and anti-ultraviolet capabilities, when using the polyvinylidene fluoride layer 700 as the hard coat of the touch panel 100, it also has anti-reflection and anti-UV functions. In order to improve the life of the product Life. The polyvinylidene fluoride layer 700 can be formed on the touch panel 100 using coating or laminating technology. In this embodiment, the touch electrode structure 120 is a single-layer electrode structure, but it can also be a double-layer electrode structure as shown in FIG. 3B or a bridge electrode structure as shown in FIG. 3C.
In all the above embodiments, the PVDF board 110 has good light transmission properties and low color shift, and compared with other types of touch panels in Table 2 below, the PVDF board of the present disclosure has good light transmission properties and low color shift. The thickness is relatively thin. Therefore, when the polyvinylidene fluoride vinyl sheet is integrated with the soft display, the light transmittance of the touch panel can be improved to make the color shift close to zero, so that the touch panel has better optical characteristics. In addition, in the above-mentioned fourth and fifth embodiments, since the polyvinylidene fluoride layer is additionally disposed in the touch panel, the tactile feedback characteristics of the touch panel can be increased, and the electrical efficiency of the touch panel can be improved.

In addition, in this embodiment, a first adhesion layer 960 can be arranged between the OLED display 910 and the functional touch panel 920, which is similar to the first adhesion layer 400 of the third embodiment, and can improve the OLED display 910 and the functional touch panel 920. Adhesion between functional touch panels 920. In this embodiment, the touch electrode structure 940 is a single-layer electrode structure, but it can also be a double-layer electrode structure as shown in FIG. 3B or a bridge electrode structure as shown in FIG. 3C.
FIG. 9B is a schematic diagram of a touch display panel according to another example of the eighth embodiment. FIG. 9B uses the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 9A to denote the same elements.
In FIG. 9B, a functional film 950, a touch electrode structure 940 and a polyvinylidene fluoride vinyl plate 930 are sequentially arranged on the OLED display 910, so the functional film 950 is fabricated after the touch electrode structure 940. In addition, in the OLED display 910, at least the OLED display element 912 containing organic materials is provided with a sidewall gas barrier (SWB) structure 970, where the sidewall gas barrier structure 970 is, for example, an inverted trapezoid, but the present disclosure does not This is limited. As for the material of the sidewall gas barrier structure 970, for example, organic materials, inorganic materials, or organic-inorganic hybrid materials, or organic-inorganic stacks, in order to achieve, for example, WVTR that can at least block water and oxygen.<img file="TWM472252U_D0003.tif" he="52" img-content="character" img-format="tif" inline="no" orientation="portrait" wi="32" />10<sup>-1</sup>g/m<sup>2</sup>-day, the purpose is to prevent water, oxygen, etc. from infiltrating around the touch display panel 900, resulting in deterioration of the OLED display 910. In this embodiment, the side wall barrier (SWB) structure is arranged around the OLED display element, but the present disclosure is not limited to the OLED display element.
FIG. 9C is a schematic diagram of a touch display panel of another example of the eighth embodiment. The difference between Fig. 9C and Fig. 9A is that there is an extra layer of hard coat (Hard coat) 980, the other The components are the same as the touch display panel 900 of FIG. 9A, so the same component symbols are used to denote the same components. The hard coat layer 980 is disposed on the polyvinylidene fluoride vinyl plate 930, and its material is, for example, epoxy resin or a hardened layer material with acrylic as the base. The function of the hard coat layer 980 is mainly to protect the polyvinylidene fluoride vinyl plate 930 below it, thereby increasing the scratch resistance of the functional touch panel 920.
In this embodiment, the polyvinylidene fluoride sheet 930 is integrated with the OLED display 910 to improve the light transmittance of the touch display panel 900 and make the color shift close to zero. The hydrophobicity of polyvinylidene fluoride can also be used to prevent The problem of deterioration of the OLED display 910 when exposed to water and oxygen.
In summary, the polyvinylidene fluoride in the present disclosure contains relatively low inorganic nano-modified materials and low crystal size, so it has relatively high light transmittance and flexibility. Therefore, the polyvinylidene fluoride sheet of the present disclosure can be integrated with various flexible and rigid displays, thereby improving the light transmittance of the touch element and reducing the color shift of the touch element. In addition, a polyvinylidene fluoride layer with high dielectric constant can be arranged between the polyvinylidene fluoride plate and the touch layer, so it can also be used as the dielectric layer in the touch panel to reduce the driving voltage of the tactile feedback. In order to improve the electrical efficiency of the touch panel.
Although this disclosure has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit this disclosure. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, The scope of protection of this disclosure shall be subject to those defined by the attached patent scope.
