What is claimed is: 1 . A touch display device, comprising: a substrate; a thin film transistor unit disposed on the substrate; a first insulating layer disposed on the thin film transistor unit; a touch signal line layer disposed on the first insulating layer; a second insulating layer disposed on the touch signal line layer; a first transparent conducting layer disposed on the second insulating layer; a third insulating layer disposed on the first transparent conducting layer; and a second transparent conducting layer disposed on the third insulating layer. 2 . The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the thin film transistor unit comprises a source/drain layer, the first transparent conducting layer electrically connects to the source/drain layer through a first contact via, and the first transparent conducting layer is used as a pixel electrode. 3 . The touch display device of claim 2 , wherein the second transparent conducting layer comprises plural touch electrode patterns, and the touch electrode patterns electrically connect to the touch signal line layer through a second contact via. 4 . The touch display device of claim 2 , wherein the source/drain layer comprises a source electrode and a drain electrode, the touch signal line layer comprises a touch signal line, and the touch signal line corresponds to the source electrode or the drain electrode. 5 . The touch display device of claim 4 , wherein the touch signal line overlaps the source electrode or the drain electrode. 6 . The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the thin film transistor unit comprises a source/drain layer, the second transparent conducting layer electrically connects to the source drain layer through a first contact via, and the second transparent conducting layer is used as a pixel electrode. 7 . The touch display device of claim 6 , wherein the first transparent conducting layer comprises plural touch electrode patterns, and the touch electrode patterns electrically connect to the touch signal line layer through a second contact. 8 . The touch display device of claim 6 , wherein the source/drain layer comprises a source electrode and a drain electrode, the touch signal line layer comprises a touch signal line, and the touch signal line corresponds to the source electrode or the drain electrode. 9 . The touch display device of claim 8 , wherein the touch signal line overlaps the source electrode or the drain electrode. 10 . The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the second insulating layer has a thickness ranging from 10 nm to 1000 nm. 11 . The touch display device of claim 1 , wherein the third insulating layer has a thickness ranging from 10 nm to 1000 nm.
