A touch panel includes a substrate, touch signal lines, sub-pixels, touch electrode groups, and at least one common signal array. The touch signal lines and the sub-pixels are located on substrate. Each of the sub-pixels includes a switch element and a pixel electrode. The switch element is electrically connected to a corresponding scan line and a corresponding data line. The touch electrode groups include touch electrodes. The touch electrodes overlap the pixel electrodes of the sub-pixels. Each of the touch electrode groups is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the touch signal lines. The common signal array includes common electrodes. Each of the common electrodes overlaps at least one of the scan line and the data line. The number of the sub-pixels overlapped by the common signal array is greater than the number of the sub-pixels overlapped by each of the touch electrode groups.

Touch panel

A touch display device has a display area and includes a substrate, induction electrodes, first switches, and a first driver. The induction electrodes are disposed on the substrate and located within the display area, and the induction electrodes are arranged into an array. Each of the first switches has a first gate. Two adjacent induction electrodes in a same column of the array are electrically connected to each other through at least one of the first switches. The first driver is electrically connected to the first gates of the first switches.

Touch display device and method for driving the same

A touch panel including a first substrate, a plurality of touch electrodes and a plurality of active components is provided. The first substrate has an active region. The touch electrodes are disposed on the active region. Each of the touch electrodes includes a network structure having a solid portion and a plurality of opening portions defined by the solid portion. Each of the active components includes a semiconductor pattern substantially shielded by the solid portion of one corresponding touch electrode.
