1. A touch structure having a touch region, the touch region including a main touch region and a corner region, the corner region being located on a periphery of the main touch region;
the touch structure comprising:
a plurality of first touch units extending in a first direction, wherein a first touch unit includes a plurality of first touch electrodes and a plurality of first connection portions, a first connection portion is electrically connected to two adjacent first touch electrodes;
a plurality of second touch units extending in a second direction, wherein a second touch unit includes a plurality of second touch electrodes and a plurality of second connection portions, a second connection portion is electrically connected to two adjacent second touch electrodes; the first direction intersects the second direction;
wherein an orthogonal projection of the first connection portion on a reference surface intersects an orthogonal projection of the second connection portion on the reference surface, the first connection portion and the second connection portion, whose orthogonal projections on the reference surface intersect each other, constitute a connection unit; at least one of a plurality of connection units composed of the plurality of first connection portions and the plurality of second connection portions is an adjustment connection unit, and the adjustment connection unit is located in the corner region;
in a first touch unit in which a first connection portion of the adjustment connection unit is located, a straight line passing through centers of at least two first touch electrodes located in the main touch region is a first reference line; in a second touch unit in which a second connection portion of the adjustment connection unit is located, a straight line passing through centers of at least two second touch electrodes located in the main touch region is a second reference line; an intersection point of the first reference line and the second reference line is a reference point; and
the reference point is located outside the corner region, and is located farther away from a center of the main touch region than the adjustment connection unit;
wherein two first touch electrodes connected to the first connection portion of the adjustment connection unit are respectively a first electrode and a second electrode, and the first electrode is located farther away from the center of the main touch region than the second electrode in the first direction;
two second touch electrodes connected to the second connection portion of the adjustment connection unit are respectively a third electrode and a fourth electrode, and the third electrode is located farther away from the center of the main touch region than the fourth electrode in the second direction; and
shapes of contours, that are close to each other, of the first electrode and the third electrode are complementary, and shapes of contours, that are close to each other, of the first electrode and the fourth electrode are complementary; and/or, shapes of contours, that are close to each other, of the second electrode and the third electrode are complementary, and shapes of contours, that are close to each other, of the second electrode and the fourth electrode are complementary.
