Abstract

Touch panels and touch display devices are provided. The touch panel includes a plurality of first touch electrode patterns, the first touch electrode patterns comprise a plurality of first touch units and a connection unit for connecting adjacent first touch units. A plurality of second touch electrode patterns are insulated from and intersected with the first touch electrode patterns. The second touch electrode pattern comprises a plurality of second touch units and at least one bridge unit for connecting adjacent second touch units. The bridge unit includes at least two metal bridges having a hollow-out pattern, and a connection portion connecting the at least two metal bridges.

Claims (19)

1. A touch panel comprising:

a plurality of first touch electrode patterns arranged along a first direction, the first touch electrode pattern comprising a plurality of first touch units and a plurality of connection units each connecting two adjacent first touch units; and

a plurality of second touch electrode patterns arranged along a second direction and insulated from and intersected with the first touch electrode patterns, the second touch electrode pattern comprising a plurality of independent second touch units and at least one bridge unit connecting two adjacent second touch units, the bridge unit comprising at least two metal bridges respectively having a hollow-out pattern, and a connection portion connecting the at least two metal bridges,

wherein the hollow-out pattern of the at least one bridge unit comprises at least two hollow-out patterns, the at least two hollow-out patterns are arranged along an arranging direction perpendicularly to the second direction,

wherein at least two bridge units are arranged in parallel between the two adjacent second touch units,

wherein the two adjacent second touch units corresponding to one of the bridge units respectively have a second concave-convex structure formed at a spaced channel between the two adjacent second touch units, and the metal bridges connect the connection portion with the two adjacent second touch units via a shortest distance,

wherein two adjacent second touch units have the second concave-convex structure forming at least one notch portion on the two adjacent second touch units,

wherein the connection unit of the first touch unit pattern has a first concave-convex structure having a shape that matches a shape of a space within the at least one notch portion of the second concave-convex structure on the second touch electrode pattern.

2. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first touch electrode pattern is provided with a hollow-out region, the connection portion is insulated from and embedded in the hollow-out region.

3. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the connection portion is insulated from the first touch electrode pattern, and the connection portion overlaps with the first touch electrode pattern at an overlapping position.

4. The touch panel according to claim 3 , wherein the connection portion and the first touch electrode pattern have an insulated layer provided therebetween at the overlapping position.

5. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second concave-convex structure is a triangle, or a rectangle, or a trapezoid, or a semicircle.

6. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the connection unit of the first touch electrode pattern has a first concave-convex structure matching with the second concave-convex structure of the second touch electrode pattern.

7. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow-out pattern of the at least one bridge unit extends along the second direction.

8. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two hollow-out patterns are rectangular patterns.

9. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two hollow-out patterns are further arranged along the second direction.

10. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the bridge unit further comprises two contact portions located at opposite ends of the bridge unit connecting the second touch unit, and a width of the contact portion along a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the bridge unit is greater than a width of the connection portion, and a width of the metal bridge of the bridge unit.

11. The touch panel according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one bridge unit is arranged along a preset direction, and an angle between the preset direction and the second direction is greater than Wand less than 90°.

12. A touch display device comprising the touch panel according to claim 1 .
