Abstract

Disclosed is a touch display panel, a touch display device and a touch detection method. The touch display panel includes receiving electrodes and transmitting electrodes, and further includes a plurality of transparent electrodes and a touch detecting circuit. The transparent electrodes are disposed on a substrate at a touching side of the display panel and one-to-one connected and correspond to the transmitting electrodes. The touch detecting circuit is connected to individual transparent electrodes, and includes a voltage switch unit, a storage unit and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured for measuring actual display data and actual touch data of each touch node, finding corresponding initial touch data, and removing influence caused by the corresponding initial touch data from the actual touch data to obtain an actual output.
