The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a frame synchronization signal of a touch display panel in the prior art, and as shown in fig. 1, the touch display panel in the prior art includes a driving circuit, which outputs a display signal, a dummy display signal and a touch signal for the touch display panel.

Specifically, in each frame of the synchronization signal, the scanning of all pixels and touch electrodes of the touch display panel is completed by outputting the display signal, the virtual display signal and the touch signal, so that the touch function and the display function of the touch display panel are ensured.
In order to achieve a higher refresh rate and a higher touch hit rate of the touch display panel, the time of the display signal and the touch signal output by the driving circuit in each frame of the fixed synchronization signal needs to be allocated as required.

The above is the core idea of the present invention, and the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a touch display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a frame synchronization signal of the touch display panel provided in fig. 2, and with reference to fig. 2 and fig. 3, the touch display panel 10 includes a driving circuit 200, the driving circuit 200 includes a timing control circuit 210, a display driving circuit 220 and a touch driving circuit 230; the timing control circuit 210 is configured to provide a frame synchronization signal in each image frame Tt, where the frame synchronization signal includes a plurality of display phases D, a plurality of touch phases T, and a display precharge phase V; the display driving circuit 220 is used for outputting a display signal in the display stage D and outputting a dummy display signal in the display precharge stage V; the touch driving circuit 230 is configured to output a touch signal in a touch stage T and a display precharge stage V.
Illustratively, the driving circuit 200 includes a timing control circuit 210, a display driving circuit 220 and a touch driving circuit 230, wherein the display driving circuit 220 is used for providing a display signal required by the touch display panel 10 to complete the display function of the touch display panel 10; the touch driving circuit 230 is used for providing a touch signal required by the touch display panel 10 to complete the touch function of the touch display panel 10. The timing control circuit 210 is used for providing a working timing of the driving circuit 200, that is, controlling the driving circuit 200 to provide timing control of the display signal and providing timing control of the control signal, so as to ensure that the display function and the touch function are distributed according to the timing.
Further, the timing control circuit 210 is configured to provide a frame synchronization signal in each image frame Tt, each image frame Tt includes a display frame and a touch frame, and the output of the display signal and the output of the touch signal of the entire touch display panel 10 in one image frame are completed in each image frame Tt. The frame sync signal includes a plurality of display phases D (D1, D2, D3, and D4), a plurality of touch phases T (T1, T2, T3, and T4), and a display precharge phase V (VBP and VFP). For example, as shown in fig. 3, the display phase D may include four display phases D1, D2, D3, and D4, the touch phase T may include four touch phases T1, T2, T3, and T4, the display precharge phase V may include a display Back dead time (Vertical Back Porch VBP) and a display Front dead time (Vertical Front Porch VFP), the display Back dead time VBP represents a time for performing the inactive scan at the beginning of the image frame Tt after the Vertical synchronization period, and the display Front dead time VFP represents a time for performing the inactive scan at the end of the image frame Tt after the Vertical synchronization period. The specific number of the display stage and the touch stage is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 3 only illustrates that the display stage includes four display stages, and the touch stage includes four touch stages.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the touch display panel 10 includes a display area 100 and a non-display area 110, the display driving circuit 220 is used for providing a display signal to the display sub-pixels arranged in the display area 100 in the display stage D, and the display driving circuit 220 is used for providing a dummy display signal to the dummy sub-pixels arranged in the non-display area 110 in the display pre-charge stage V. The touch driving circuit 230 outputs the touch signal to the touch electrode in the touch stage T, and the touch driving circuit 230 may also output the touch signal in the display precharge stage V, that is, there is an overlap between the display precharge stage V and the touch stage T in time sequence, so that at least one touch stage T time may be left in each image frame Tt, and the four vacant time frames may be used to compensate for the display stage D, so as to meet the requirement of the touch display panel 10 for a higher display charging rate, and ensure the display effect of the touch display panel 10.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, in one image frame Tt, a plurality of display phases D1, D2, D3 and D4, a plurality of touch phases T1, T2, T3 and T4, and display precharge phases VBP and VFP are included. The timing control circuit 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention places the touch stage T4 in the display front-end idle time VFP, and the timing control circuit 210 controls the display driving circuit 220 to output the virtual display signal and the touch driving circuit 230 to output the touch signal in the display front-end idle time, that is, the display front-end idle time VFP and the touch stage T4 are overlapped in timing. Thus, the time of the original touch stage T4 can be used to compensate for any display stage D1, D2, D3 and D4, as shown in fig. 3, the spare time is used to compensate for the display stage D4, so as to increase the time for outputting the display signal in the display stage D4, that is, the time sequence position of the touch stage T in each image frame Tt is adjusted, so as to meet the requirement of the touch display panel 10 for a higher display charging rate, thereby ensuring the display effect of the touch display panel 10.
Further, since the display driving circuit 220 is configured to output only the virtual display signal instead of the real effective display signal in the display pre-charge stage, that is, the virtual display signal output by the display driving circuit 220 in the display pre-charge stage does not generate a real display image in the touch display panel 10, the display pre-charge stage and the touch stage are configured to overlap in time sequence, so that the touch signal output in the display pre-charge stage does not interfere with the display signal, that is, the normal display of the touch display panel is not affected, it is ensured that the touch function and the display function are independent and not affected, and the display effect and the touch effect of the touch display panel are ensured.
To sum up, in each image frame, the display precharge stage is used for outputting the virtual display signal and the touch signal, i.e., the display precharge stage and the touch stage overlap in time sequence, so that the time occupied by the touch stage in the whole image frame is reduced, the saved time can be provided for the display stage for outputting the display signal, and the time occupied by the display stage in the whole image frame is increased. The time of the display stage in the whole image frame is correspondingly increased by adjusting the time of the touch control stage and the display stage, the time of display driving is increased, the writing effect of the display signal is increased, the display effect of the touch control display panel is ensured, meanwhile, the touch control signal is ensured not to interfere the display signal, and the normal display effect of the touch control display panel is not influenced.
The following describes in detail various cases of the timing adjustment of the touch stage in each image frame.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another frame synchronization signal of the touch display panel provided in fig. 2, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another frame synchronization signal of the touch display panel provided in fig. 2, and in combination with fig. 2 to 5, the touch display panel 10 further includes a plurality of touch electrodes 300; the touch driving circuit 230 is configured to output a touch signal to perform touch scanning on the first portion of the touch electrodes 300 in the touch stage T, and output a touch signal to perform touch scanning on the second portion of the touch electrodes 300 in the display precharge stage V.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the touch display panel 10 further includes a plurality of touch electrodes 300, and different touch electrodes 300 may receive the touch signal provided by the touch driving circuit 230 in a time-sharing manner to perform touch scanning, so that the scanning of all touch electrodes 300 is completed in each image frame Tt. The touch driving circuit 230 outputs the touch signal at the touch stage T to complete the touch scanning of a portion of the touch electrodes 300, the touch driving circuit 230 also outputs the touch signal at the display precharge stage V to complete the touch scanning of another portion of the touch electrodes 300, i.e., the display precharge stage and the touch stage overlap in time sequence, thereby reducing the time occupied by the frame synchronization signal in the whole image frame at the touch stage, saving the time for providing the display stage for outputting the display signal, and increasing the time occupied by the frame synchronization signal in the whole image frame at the display stage.
Specifically, the touch stage T adjacent to the display precharge stage V in time sequence may be set in the display precharge stage V, so as to leave extra time for outputting the display signal, thereby ensuring the display effect of the touch display panel 10.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, in the image frame Tt, the touch driving circuit 230 is configured to perform touch scanning on the first portion of touch electrodes 300 during the touch phases T1, T2, and T3. The touch driving circuit 230 is originally configured to perform touch scanning on the second portion of the touch electrodes 300 during the touch stage T4, the original timing position of the touch stage T4 is adjacent to the display front end idle time VFP timing, and the touch stage T4 is located in the display front end idle time VFP, so that the touch driving circuit 230 is configured to perform touch scanning on the second portion of the touch electrodes 300 (i.e., the touch electrodes whose touch scanning is completed during the touch stage T4) during the display front end idle time VFP. The remaining free time at the original touch stage T4 is used to compensate for the display stage D4, and may also be used to compensate for other display stages D (not shown in the figure), which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. That is, it is ensured that the touch signals output by the touch driving circuit 230 complete the touch scanning on all the touch electrodes 300, and it is also ensured that the time of the display stage D is increased, the requirement of the touch display panel 10 for higher display charging rate is ensured, and the display effect of the touch display panel 10 is ensured; meanwhile, the touch signal is ensured not to interfere the display signal, and the normal display effect of the touch display panel is not influenced.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, in the image frame Tt, the original timing position of the touch phase T1 is adjacent to and close to the display back end idle time VBP, and the touch phase T1 is located in the display back end idle time VBP, so that the touch driving circuit 230 is configured to perform touch scanning on the second portion of the touch electrodes 300 (i.e., the touch electrodes completing the touch scanning in the touch phase T1) during the display back end idle time VBP. The free time left in the original touch stage T1 is used for compensating the display stage D1, and can also be used for compensating other display stages D (not shown in the figure).

A free time is left at the original touch stage T1, a free time is left at the original touch stage T4, and the free times are respectively used for compensating the display stages D1 and D4, and can also be used for compensating other display stages D (not shown in the figure). That is, it is ensured that the touch signals output by the touch driving circuit 230 complete the touch scanning on all the touch electrodes 300, and it is also ensured that the time of the display stage D is increased, the requirement of the touch display panel 10 for higher display charging rate is ensured, and the display effect of the touch display panel 10 is ensured; meanwhile, the touch signal is ensured not to interfere the display signal, and the normal display effect of the touch display panel is not influenced.

Specifically, there may be a touch noise detection stage Tn in each image frame Tt, completing scanning of all touch electrodes 300 within each image frame Tt, and performing noise detection on the touch display panel 10. That is, the touch driving circuit 230 outputs the touch signal in the touch stage T to complete the touch scanning of the touch electrode 300, and the touch driving circuit 230 may also output the touch signal in the display precharge stage V to complete the noise detection of the touch display panel 10. Namely, the original time sequence position of the touch noise detection stage Tn is set in the display pre-charging stage V, so that extra time is left for outputting a display signal, and the display effect of the touch display panel 10 is ensured; meanwhile, the touch signal is ensured not to interfere the display signal, and the normal display effect of the touch display panel is not influenced.
Illustratively, the touch driving circuit 230 outputs the touch signal for noise detection in the touch noise detection stage Tn, as shown in fig. 6, in the image frame Tt, the original timing position of the touch noise detection stage Tn is close to the display front end idle time VFP timing, and the touch noise detection stage Tn is placed in the display front end idle time VFP, so that the touch driving circuit 230 is used for noise detection of the touch display panel 10 in the display front end idle time VFP. A free time left in the original touch noise detection stage Tn is used for compensating the display stage D4, and can also be used for compensating other display stages D (not shown in the figure).

Based on the above embodiment, with reference to fig. 2, 6 and 9, the multiple touch phases T include a touch noise detection phase Tn and multiple touch scanning phases T; the plurality of touch scanning stages T in the same image frame Tt include a first touch scanning stage T1, where in terms of timing, the first touch scanning stage T1 is located before any other touch scanning stage T, and the touch noise detection stage Tn is located after any touch scanning stage T; the first touch scan phase T1 overlaps the first sub-display precharge phase VBP in timing, and/or the touch noise detection phase Tn overlaps the second sub-display precharge phase VFP in timing.
Specifically, the touch driving circuit 230 performs touch noise detection on the touch display panel 10 at a touch noise detection stage Tn, and the touch driving circuit 230 performs touch scanning on all the touch electrodes 300 at different times at a plurality of touch scanning stages T. The touch scanning stage T includes a first touch scanning stage T1, and the first touch scanning stage T1 is located before other touch scanning stages T (touch stages T2, T3, T4, etc.) in the timing of each image frame Tt. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the touch noise detection stage Tn and the second sub-display pre-charge stage VFP are overlapped in timing sequence, so as to further provide more spare time for outputting the display signal, thereby ensuring the display effect of the touch display panel 10. As shown in fig. 9, the first touch scan stage T1 and the first sub-display pre-charge stage VBP are overlapped in time sequence, and the touch noise detection stage Tn and the second sub-display pre-charge stage VFP are overlapped in time sequence, so as to further provide more spare time for outputting the display signal, thereby ensuring the display effect of the touch display panel 10.
Based on the above embodiment, with reference to fig. 2, 7 and 8, the multiple touch phases T include a touch noise detection phase Tn and multiple touch scanning phases T; the plurality of touch scan stages T in the same image frame Tt include a second touch scan stage T4, where in terms of timing, the second touch scan stage T4 is located after any other touch scan stage T, and the touch noise detection stage Tn is located before any touch scan stage T; the touch noise detection phase Tn overlaps the first sub-display precharge phase VBP in timing, and/or the second touch scan phase T4 overlaps the second sub-display precharge phase VFP in timing.
Specifically, the touch scanning phase T includes a second touch scanning phase T4, and the second touch scanning phase T4 is located after the other touch scanning phases T at the timing of each image frame Tt, i.e., the original timing position of the second touch scanning phase T4 is adjacent to the timing position of the second sub-display precharge phase VFP. For example, as shown in fig. 7, the touch noise detection phase Tn and the first sub-display precharge phase VBP are overlapped in timing sequence, and a free time is reserved in the image frame Tt, and the free time is used to increase the time of the display phase D1, so as to ensure that the display driving circuit 220 outputs the display signal and ensure the display effect of the touch display panel 10. As shown in fig. 8, the second touch scanning phase T4 and the second sub-display pre-charge phase VFP are overlapped in time sequence, and the touch noise detection phase Tn and the first sub-display pre-charge phase VBP are overlapped in time sequence, so as to further provide more spare time for outputting the display signal, thereby ensuring the display effect of the touch display panel 10.
Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of another frame synchronization signal of the touch display panel provided in fig. 2, and in conjunction with fig. 2 and 10, the plurality of touch phases T includes a first touch phase Tc, and the first touch phase Tc overlaps with the display precharge phase V in time sequence; the pulse number of the touch signal output by the touch driving circuit 230 in the first touch phase Tc is less than or equal to the pulse number of the touch signal output in any other touch phase T.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 10, the first touch stage Tc and the display pre-charging stage V are overlapped in time sequence, and a free time is left in the time sequence of the first touch stage Tc in the image frame Tt, and the free time is used for increasing the time of the display stage D, so as to ensure the output time of the display signal and ensure the display effect of the touch display panel 10. For example, the original timing position of the first touch stage Tc may be adjacent to the timing position of the second sub-display pre-charge stage VFP (not shown in the drawings), and the embodiment of the invention does not limit the timing overlapping between the first touch stage Tc and the first sub-display pre-charge stage VBP or between the first touch stage Tc and the second sub-display pre-charge stage VFP.
The touch driving circuit 230 outputs the touch signal in the form of a pulse signal in the touch phase T, and it can be understood that the more the number of pulses included in the pulse signal, the more time required for outputting the touch signal, the less the number of pulses included in the pulse signal, and the less time required for outputting the touch signal. In order to satisfy the overlapping of the first touch phase T1 and the display precharge phase V in terms of time sequence, i.e. to satisfy the time required for outputting the touch signal in the display precharge phase V (VBP or VFP), the number of pulses of the touch signal output by the touch driving circuit 230 in the first touch phase T1 may be set to be less than or equal to the number of pulses of the touch signal output in any other touch phase T (T2, T3 or T4), so as to ensure that the time required for outputting the touch signal in the display precharge phase V (VBP or VFP) is satisfied, i.e. the overlapping of the first touch phase T1 and the display precharge phase V in terms of time sequence is satisfied. It should be noted that fig. 10 only illustrates that the number of pulses of the touch signal output in the first touch stage T1 is smaller than the number of pulses of the touch signal output in any other touch stage T (T2, T3, or T4).
For example, if the time required for the first touch phase T1 is 106 μ s, the time required for displaying the precharge phase V (VBP or VFP) is 100 μ s, and the time required for displaying the precharge phase V is less than the time required for the first touch phase T1, the number of pulses of the touch signal output by the touch driving circuit 230 in the first touch phase T1 is set to be less than or equal to the number of pulses of the touch signal output in any other touch phase T (T2, T3, or T4), as shown in fig. 10, so as to ensure that the time required for outputting the touch signal in the display precharge phase V (VBP or VFP) can be satisfied, that is, the first touch phase T1 and the display precharge phase V are overlapped in time sequence.
On the basis of the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 7, the plurality of display phases D includes a first display phase Dc and a second display phase Dd; the number of display sub-pixel rows receiving the display signals in the first display phase Dc is equal to or less than the number of display sub-pixel rows receiving the display signals in the second display phase Dd; the display driving circuit 220 drives the first display period Dc for a longer period than the second display period Dd.
The frame synchronization signal of each image frame Tt includes a plurality of display phases D, the display driving circuit 220 outputs the display signals in the plurality of display phases D, a part of the display sub-pixels in each display phase D receives the display signals, and the display driving circuit 220 outputs the display signals in all the display phases D in each image frame Tt, so that all the display sub-pixels in the touch display panel 10 receive the display signals. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the first touch stage T1 and the display precharge stage V overlap in timing, and the time left at the timing position of the first touch stage T1 is originally used for outputting the display signal. The display phase D includes a first display phase Dc and a second display phase Dd, the first display phase Dc includes an original display phase and an increased idle time, the first display phase Dc is used for outputting display signals, and the increase of the output time of the display signals can meet the requirement of the touch display panel 10 on a high display charging rate, thereby ensuring the display effect of the touch display panel 10.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the number of the display sub-pixel rows receiving the display signal in the first display phase Dc is equal to the number of the display sub-pixel rows receiving the display signal in the second display phase Dd, and the spare time reserved by the overlapping of the first touch phase T1 and the display precharge phase V in time sequence is increased to the first display phase Dc, so that the driving duration of the display driving circuit 220 for the first display phase Dc is longer than the driving duration for the second display phase Dd. Or, the number of the display sub-pixel rows receiving the display signal in the first display stage Dc is less than the number of the display sub-pixel rows receiving the display signal in the second display stage Dd, and the spare time reserved by the time sequence overlapping of the first touch stage T1 and the display precharge stage V is increased to the first display stage Dc, so that the driving time of the display driving circuit 220 to the first display stage Dc is longer than the driving time to the second display stage Dd.
Further, in the first display phase Dc, the time for receiving the display signal by any two display sub-pixel rows is the same; alternatively, in the first display phase Dc, the time during which part of the display sub-pixel rows receive the display signal is longer than the time during which the remaining display sub-pixel rows receive the display signal.
Specifically, in the whole display stage D, the display signals are output to all the display sub-pixel rows of the touch display panel 10, and the first display stage Dc and the second display stage Dd realize that all the display sub-pixels receive the display signals one by one. The first display phase Dc increases the idle time on the basis of the original display phase, and the idle time is used for increasing the time for receiving the display signal at the corresponding display sub-pixel.
For example, the free time may be uniformly allocated to the time for each display sub-pixel row in the first display phase Dc to receive the display signal, that is, the time for any two display sub-pixel rows to receive the display signal is the same, so as to ensure that each display sub-pixel row in the first display phase Dc has sufficient time to receive the display signal, and ensure that the display effect at the position corresponding to the first display phase Dc is good. Alternatively, the idle time may be allocated unevenly to the time for each row of display sub-pixels to receive the display signal in the first display phase Dc, that is, the time for a part of the display sub-pixel rows to receive the display signal is longer than the time for the rest of the display sub-pixel rows to receive the display signal, for example, the idle time may be allocated to the display sub-pixels with higher requirement on the display charging rate, so as to ensure that the display sub-pixels with higher requirement on the display charging rate have sufficient time to receive the display signal, thereby ensuring the display effect of the part of the sub-pixel rows.
Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of another frame synchronization signal of the touch display panel provided in fig. 2, and referring to fig. 2 and fig. 11, in two image frames Tt out of the plurality of image frames Tt, the touch signals output by the touch driving circuit 230 in the touch phase T are the same, and the touch signals output in the display precharge phase V are the same.
Specifically, the timing control circuit 210 provides frame synchronization signals for different image frames Tt, and each image frame Tt includes a display stage D, a touch stage T, and a display precharge stage V. In order to increase the output time of the display signal, a display pre-charge phase V and a touch phase T are set in each image frame Tt to overlap in terms of time sequence, and the spare time reserved in each image frame Tt can be used for outputting the display signal. In order to ensure uniformity of the display effect and the touch effect, the touch display panel 10 may keep the adjustment on the timing of the touch stage T in each image frame Tt consistent, that is, in different image frames Tt, the touch stage T and the display pre-charge stage have the same overlapping timing, that is, in different image frames Tt, the touch signals output by the touch driving circuit 230 in the touch stage T are the same, and the touch signals output in the display pre-charge stage V are the same, for example, the touch scanning signals are output in the touch stage T, and the touch noise detection signals are output in the display pre-charge stage V. For example, as shown in fig. 11, two image frames Tt are taken as an example for description, in each image frame Tt, a touch phase T4 overlaps with a second sub-display pre-charge phase VFP in terms of time sequence, and a free time is left for increasing the time of the display phase D4 and increasing the time for outputting a display signal. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the specific timing overlapping adjustment manner of the touch control phase T and the display precharge phase V in each image frame Tt.

Specifically, in the time sequence, at least one touch stage T is arranged between two adjacent display stages D, and at least one display stage D is arranged between two adjacent touch stages T, so that the display stages D are prevented from being concentrated in the time sequence, and the touch stages T are prevented from being concentrated in the time sequence, so that longer time intervals among the display stages in different image frames are prevented, and longer time intervals among the touch stages in different image frames are prevented, and the display effect and the touch effect of the touch display panel 10 are ensured. For example, as shown in fig. 3 to 14, one touch stage T is set between every two display stages D, and one display stage D is set between every two touch stages T. The specific setting modes of the display stage D and the touch stage T are not limited, and it is only required to ensure that at least one touch stage T is arranged between two adjacent display stages D, and at least one display stage D is arranged between two adjacent touch stages T.
Further, the specific setting mode of the display stage and the touch stage may be set according to the refresh frequency of the display and the refresh frequency of the touch.

The refresh frequency of the display frame refers to the refresh frequency of each display frame in each second, and the refresh frequency of the touch frame refers to the refresh frequency of the touch frame T in each second.
Furthermore, the refreshing frequency of the display frame is N hz/s, and the refreshing frequency of the touch frame is M hz/s, wherein N and M are positive integers. For example, the refresh frequency of the display frame may be 120hz/s, and the refresh frequency of the touch frame may be 240 hz/s; or, the refresh frequency of the display frame may be 240hz/s, and the refresh frequency of the touch frame is 120hz/s, and the specific values of the refresh frequency of the display frame and the refresh frequency of the touch frame are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, as shown in fig. 12, when N/M is a positive integer, a touch stage T is arranged between every N/M display stages D in time sequence. Illustratively, N is 240hz/s, M is 120hz/s, N/M is 2, the number of display stages D is greater than the number of touch stages T, and one touch stage T is arranged between every two display stages D. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 13, when M/N is a positive integer, a display stage D is arranged between every M/N touch stages T in time sequence. Illustratively, N is 120hz/s, M is 240hz/s, M/N is 2, the number of touch phases T is greater than the number of display phases D, and one display phase D is arranged between every two touch phases T. The time sequence arrangement of the display stage D and the touch stage T in each image frame Tt is adaptively adjusted based on the refresh frequency of the display frame and the refresh frequency of the touch frame, so as to ensure that the touch display panel 10 has a better display effect and touch effect.
On the basis of the above embodiments, with continued reference to fig. 2 and fig. 3, the touch display panel 10 includes a display area 100 and a non-display area 110, and the non-display area includes a first non-display area 111 and a second non-display area 112; the display area 100 includes a plurality of rows a of display sub-pixels arranged in an array, the first non-display area 111 includes at least one row B of first dummy sub-pixels, and the second non-display area 112 includes at least one row C of second dummy sub-pixels; the display driving circuit 220 is used for sequentially outputting display signals to the plurality of display sub-pixel rows a in the display phase D, outputting dummy display signals to the first dummy sub-pixel row B in the first sub-display pre-charge phase VBP, and outputting dummy display signals to the second dummy sub-pixel row C in the second sub-display pre-charge phase VFP.

Further, the display driving circuit 220 sequentially outputs the display signals to the plurality of display sub-pixel rows a in the display area 100 in the display stage D, that is, the display driving circuit 220 outputs the display signals to all the display sub-pixel rows a one by one in different display stages D. The display driving circuit 220 outputs dummy display signals to the dummy sub-pixel rows during the display pre-charge period V, i.e., outputs dummy display signals to the first dummy sub-pixel row B during the first sub-display pre-charge period VBP, and outputs dummy display signals to the second dummy sub-pixel row C during the second sub-display pre-charge period VFP. The display driving circuit 220 completes outputting the display signals to all the display sub-pixel rows a in the touch display panel 10 and completes outputting the virtual display signals to all the virtual display sub-pixel rows in the touch display panel 10 in each image frame Tt. Furthermore, the virtual display sub-pixel row can be used as a test sub-pixel row in the touch display panel for testing the performance of the touch display panel; alternatively, the virtual display signals required for virtually displaying the sub-pixel rows may be multiplexed as the display signals in the display sub-pixel rows, and taking the sub-pixels included in the display sub-pixel rows as the organic light emitting diode sub-pixels and the pixel circuits thereof as 7T1C pixel circuits as an example, the scan signals required for virtually displaying the sub-pixel rows may be multiplexed as the scan signals in the display sub-pixel rows.
