Abstract

A touch display device and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The touch display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, and at least one touch signal transmission unit. The touch signal transmission unit includes: a first conductive layer located above a side of the first substrate facing the second substrate; a second conductive layer located above a side of the second substrate facing the first substrate; a touch signal transmission layer, located between the second conductive layer and the second substrate and electrically connected to the first conductive layer via the second conductive layer; and a spacer located between the first substrate and the second substrate, where a vertical projection of the spacer onto the first substrate at least partially overlaps vertical projections of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer onto the first substrate.

Claims (19)
