Abstract

A touching display panel and a display device using the same are provided. The touching display panel includes a liquid crystal layer, a first substrate having a hard surface structure, a second substrate, a touch sensor layer, a thin-film transistor layer, and a color filter layer. The first and second substrates are respectively disposed at two sides of the liquid crystal layer. The touch sensor layer is disposed between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, and is formed on the first substrate. The thin-film transistor layer and the color filter layer are both disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. At least one of the thin-film transistor layer and the color filter layer is formed on the first substrate.

Claims

1. A touching display panel, comprising:

a first substrate, comprising a hard surface structure;

a second substrate, disposed opposite to the hard surface structure of the first substrate;

a liquid crystal layer, disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;

a touch sensor layer, disposed between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, and disposed above the first substrate;

a thin-film transistor layer and a color filter layer, both disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, at least one of the thin-film transistor layer and the color filter layer being disposed above the first substrate;

a first polarization layer, disposed between the first substrate and the touch sensor layer; and

a second polarization layer, disposed at outside of the second substrate opposite to the liquid crystal layer.

2. The touching display panel according to claim 1, wherein the hard surface structure comprises potassium (K).

3. The touching display panel according to claim 1, wherein the color filter layer is disposed above the first substrate and the thin-film transistor layer is disposed below the second substrate.

4. The touching display panel according to claim 3, wherein the touch sensor layer is disposed between the first substrate and the color filter layer.

5. The touching display panel according to claim 1, wherein the thin-film transistor layer is disposed above the first substrate and the color filter layer is disposed below the second substrate.

6. The touching display panel according to claim 5, wherein the touch sensor layer is disposed between the first substrate and the thin-film transistor layer.

7. The touching display panel according to claim 1, further comprising:

an insulation layer, disposed between the touch sensor layer and the thin-film transistor layer.

8. The touching display panel according to claim 1, wherein the color filter layer is disposed between the touch sensor layer and the thin-film transistor layer, and the touch sensor layer is disposed between the first substrate and the color filter layer.

9. A display device, comprising:

a touching display panel according to claim 1; and

a backlight module, for providing a backlight to the touching display panel.
