Abstract

A touch display device includes a base substrate having a display area and a non-display area, a plurality of light emitting elements disposed in the display area, an encapsulation layer dispose to cover the plurality of light emitting elements, a plurality of touch electrodes having a mesh shape and disposed on the encapsulation layer, and a plurality of lens layers having a convex shape and disposed inside the touch electrode while being disposed on the encapsulation layer.

Claims (35)

1. A touch display device, comprising:

a base substrate comprising a display area and a non-display area;

a plurality of light emitting diodes disposed in the display area;

an encapsulation layer disposed to cover the plurality of light emitting diodes; and

a touch sensing layer comprising a plurality of touch electrodes and a plurality of lens layers, disposed on the encapsulation layer,

wherein the plurality of touch electrodes have a mesh shape, and the plurality of lens layers have a convex shape and are disposed inside one touch electrode of the plurality of touch electrodes.

2. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the touch display device further comprises a bank layer disposed below the encapsulation layer and having a plurality of openings, and

the one touch electrode is disposed to correspond to the bank layer.

3. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein a light emitting area of each of the plurality of light emitting diodes corresponds to one or more of the plurality of lens layers.

4. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the touch display device further comprises a lens protecting layer disposed to cover one lens layer of the plurality of lens layers.

5. The touch display device of claim 4 , wherein a polarizing layer is disposed on the lens protecting layer.

6. The touch display device of claim 4 , wherein a refractive index of the lens protecting layer is lower than a refractive index of the one lens layer.

7. The touch display device of claim 6 , wherein the one lens layer comprises polytriazine or a material where one or more of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), Zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2 ) and a nano filler are added to polytriazine.

8. The touch display device of claim 6 , wherein the lens protecting layer comprises a material in which a hydroxyl group (—OH group) or a fluorine group (—F group) is added to a substituent of an epoxy resin or an acryl resin, or a material in which a nano-sized hollow silica is added to an epoxy resin or an acryl resin.

9. The touch display device of claim 4 , wherein the encapsulation layer comprises at least one organic encapsulation film, and a first dam disposed in the non-display area and configured to surround the least one organic encapsulation film.

10. The touch display device of claim 9 , wherein the least one organic encapsulation film comprises an epoxy resin or an acryl resin.

11. The touch display device of claim 9 , wherein a refractive index of the least one organic encapsulation film is lower than a refractive index of the one lens layer.

12. The touch display device of claim 9 , wherein a refractive index of the lens protecting layer is lower than a refractive index of the least one organic encapsulation film.

13. The touch display device of claim 9 , wherein the touch display device further comprises a second dam disposed in the non-display area and configured to surround the lens protecting layer.

14. The touch display device of claim 13 , wherein a touch pad is disposed in the non-display area,

a touch routing wire is disposed over the encapsulation layer along the encapsulation layer to electrically connect the touch pad and the one touch electrode, and

the touch routing wire is disposed between the first dam and the second dam.

15. The touch display device of claim 9 , wherein a touch pad is disposed in the non-display area,

a touch routing wire is disposed over the encapsulation layer along the encapsulation layer to electrically connect the touch pad and the one touch electrode, and

the touch display device comprises a capping layer that is configured to cover the touch routing wire and that is disposed so that an area of the capping layer corresponding to the touch pad is opened.

16. The touch display device of claim 15 , wherein the capping layer overlaps at least partially the lens protecting layer, and

the capping layer is made of a same material as the one lens layer.

17. The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the touch display device further comprises an adhesive layer disposed to cover one lens layer of the plurality of lens layers.

18. The touch display device of claim 17 , wherein a polarizing layer is disposed on the adhesive layer.

19. The touch display device of claim 17 , wherein a refractive index of the adhesive layer is lower than a refractive index of the one lens layer.

20. The touch display device of claim 17 , wherein a touch pad is disposed in the non-display area,

a touch routing wire is disposed over the encapsulation layer along the encapsulation layer to electrically connect the touch pad and the one touch electrode, and

the touch display device comprises a capping layer that is configured to cover the touch routing wire and the one touch electrode and that is disposed so that an area of the capping layer corresponding to the touch pad is opened.

21. The touch display device of claim 20 , wherein the capping layer is disposed between the adhesive layer and the encapsulation layer, and

the capping layer is made of a same material as the one lens layer.
