Abstract

The present application provides a touch module and a touch screen. The touch module includes a first metal grid layer and a second metal grid layer. First touch electrodes are disposed in the first metal grid layer and arranged along a first direction, and each of the first touch electrodes extends along a second direction which intersects the first direction. Second touch electrodes are disposed in the second metal grid layer and arranged along the second direction, and each of the second touch electrodes extends along the first direction. The touch module further includes a first dummy electrode and a second dummy electrode, where the first dummy electrode is coupled to a part of the second touch electrode in parallel and the second dummy electrode is coupled to a part of the first touch electrode in parallel.
