Abstract

There is provided a touch control display device, wherein, second electrodes in the organic light-emitting diodes are connected in series in the same layer in a first direction so as to form a plurality of first conductive units ( 105 ); the touch control layer comprises a plurality of second conductive units ( 107 ) arranged in parallel in a second direction, the first conductive units ( 105 ) and the second conductive units ( 107 ) are configured to be insulated from each other and to form a cross network. A touch control structure is formed by the cooperation of the first conductive units ( 105 ) consisting of the second electrodes and the second conductive units ( 107 ) in the touch control layer, thereby reducing the thickness of the touch control display device. Only the first encapsulation layer ( 106 ), the touch control layer and the second encapsulation layer ( 108 ) are configured on the light-exiting surface of the organic light-emitting diodes, which not only has a compact structure but also effectively increases the light-emitting efficiency of the touch control display device. There is also provided a preparation method of the touch control display device, wherein, during the preparation process of the second electrodes, the second electrodes are formed into first conductive units ( 105 ) that cooperate with the second conductive units ( 107 ) in the touch control layer to constitute a touch control structure, which is a simple preparation method with low process cost.
