Abstract
A display panel includes a plurality of touch electrodes disposed on a first substrate, and a second pressure sensing electrode disposed on a second substrate facing the first substrate and in a grid-shape. The plurality of touch electrodes are used for touch position detection in a touch position detection period, and at least certain number of the plurality of touch electrodes are multiplexed as first pressure sensing electrodes in a touch force detection period. The orthogonal projection of the first pressure sensing electrodes on the second substrate is at least partially overlapped with the second pressure sensing electrode. Further, in the touch force detection period, the first pressure sensing electrodes and the second pressure sensing electrode are used together to detect a touch force applied on the display panel.
