Abstract

A touch display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a display layer, a plurality of scan electrodes, a plurality of data electrodes, a plurality of thin-film transistors, a plurality of driving electrodes and a plurality of sensing electrodes. The display layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The scan electrodes and data electrodes are on the first substrate and cross each other. The thin-film transistors electrically connect to the scan electrodes and the data electrodes. The driving electrodes are disposed between the data electrodes and the second substrate, and overlapped the scan electrodes. The sensing electrodes are disposed on and overlapped the data electrodes. The data electrodes, the scan electrodes, the driving electrodes and the sensing electrodes are electrically insulated from each other. In addition, the value of the voltage input the touching drive electrodes are negative value.
