本发明是一种新设计图样及结构,运用在电容式触控面板的侦测时,是利用高阻抗透明导电膜与触碰物间的微小电容量(中间间隔一层厚膜透明绝缘材料),即可精确侦测得到触碰物的触碰坐标。而运用在电阻式触控面板的侦测时,利用触碰物触碰触控面板后所侦测到的电压准位,即可精确侦测到触碰物的触碰坐标。 The present invention is a new design pattern and structure. When used in the detection of capacitive touch panels, it uses the tiny capacitance between the high-impedance transparent conductive film and the touch object (with a layer of thick-film transparent insulating material in the middle) , the touch coordinates of the touch object can be accurately detected. When used in the detection of the resistive touch panel, the touch coordinates of the touch object can be accurately detected by using the voltage level detected after the touch object touches the touch panel. the
首先,请参考图4,其为本发明的触控面板分层图,其包含了基本的电极框层400,导电层300以及基板200。其中,电极框层400的图案是可采用一种环保无铅的高温银浆,经过网版印刷程序印列在导电层300上。经过500℃以上的高温将银金属熔接于导电层300上,使其间的导通接口电阻值极微小(可视为近零阻值)。其具有高抵抗环境温度变化的特性。此外,银导线与导电层300经高温结晶化后,可明显提升耐化学性。此外,亦可采用银导线以外的其它金属,如钼/铝/钼金属层、铬或其它等导电性较佳的金属。此外,导电层300可采用较高阻抗者,使其具损耗能量少,电流量少的功效。
First, please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a layered diagram of the touch panel of the present invention, which includes a basic
结构上,基板200可采用玻璃基材,并采取如溅镀方式制作导电层300,并以蚀刻或雷射方式来产生导电层300上的图案。接下来,再加印刷高温银浆图样以形成电极框层400。此外,基板200亦可采用其它材质来制作,例如,软性基板,并采用适用于软性基板的制程来制作电极图样。
Structurally, the
接着,请参考图5,其为本发明的导电层300的结构图,其中黑色区域即为分布于导电层四周的绝缘部311,312,313,314,X轴向者为绝缘部312,314,Y轴向者为绝缘部311,313。绝缘部311,312,313,314是以蚀刻或雷射等方式制作,其作用在于将电极框层400的电极层加以隔绝,未被蚀刻为绝缘部者则形成导电的不连续电阻链,用以形成每个电极输出口的平均电压准位,以形成均匀分布的等电位电场。其中,未被蚀刻的不连续电阻链,其长度是以Y=aX2+b公式计算而得,以形成如图5的非均匀分布的绝缘部。详细的参数获得方式,将于后续说明。
Next, please refer to FIG. 5, which is a structural diagram of the
此外,在导电层300的四个角落321,322,323,324,则为四个角落电极的位置。
In addition, in the four
接着,请参考图6,其为本发明的电极框层400的结构图,其包括有四个角落电极411,412,413,414,以及与四个角落电极相串联的串联电极链420,最后,还有一组与串联电极链420形成一第一间隔距离(D1)的电极链430。其中,在图6的实施例中,串联电极链420是通过多个Z型电极形成外部部分与内部部分重迭的结构,且每个电极之间构成有固定间隙,以作为后续的串联电阻的形成空间。于是,当电极框层400形成于导电层300上后,串联电极链420的电极间的固定间隙即构成串联电阻链,使得角落电极所传递来的电压提供串接的电压供应。而电极链430则可再将串联电极链420所供应的电压再加以细分为更细的电压分布。
Next, please refer to FIG. 6, which is a structural diagram of the
其中,串联电阻链可以其它的结构,如类S、叉型、连续段等设计方式,以可达到电压的连续分配者为宜。而串联电极链420的Z型电极数目,可依触控面板的大小来进行设计,面板尺寸由小至大,可设计为每个轴向3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,...(2n+1),n>1等不同数量的电极。例如,图6是为9个Z型电 极的实施例。其中,中央电极段是由两个Z型电极反接的方式构成,其长度为Ymax。从左到右,分别有Y1,Y2,Y3,Y4,Y5电极,以此类推。
Among them, the series resistance chain can have other structures, such as S-like, fork-shaped, continuous segment and other design methods, which are suitable for continuous distribution of voltage. The number of Z-shaped electrodes in the
由于串联电极链的输入电压,是由角落电极所传递而来,其经由串联电阻链后,会于每个Z型电极处形成压降的现象。为了能提供导电层300均匀的电场分布,本发明是透过导电层300上的绝缘部311,312,313,314所产生的不连续电阻链来产生不均匀的电阻,并通过距离角落电极越近者,给予越大电阻的基本原则来设计不连续电阻链的电阻值。于是,经由串联电阻链所传递的电压值,将会由不连续电阻链与以补偿,而形成均匀的电压供应。
Since the input voltage of the series electrode chain is transmitted from the corner electrodes, it will form a voltage drop phenomenon at each Z-shaped electrode after passing through the series resistance chain. In order to provide a uniform electric field distribution on the
然而,由不连续电阻链所供应的电压值,会由于不连续电阻链的电阻段长度不一,而导致电压分布的边缘性不佳。因此,本发明除了不连续电阻链的设计外,更提供了电极链430的设计,以使得电压的供应能够充分的均匀化。电极链430是在电极框层400形成于导电层300上后,配置于不连续电阻链的内层,亦即,不连续电阻链是配置于串联电极链420与电极链430之间。于是,经过不连续电阻链的电压供应,再经电极链430的电压均匀化,本发明即可提供一个电场均匀化程度极佳的触控面板,经实测结果,其误差范围在1%以内。
However, the voltage value supplied by the discontinuous resistor chain will have poor marginality in voltage distribution due to the different lengths of the resistor segments of the discontinuous resistor chain. Therefore, in addition to the design of the discontinuous resistor chain, the present invention also provides the design of the
图4~6,是以整体架构来说明本发明的电极结构者,接下来,将以细部的结构图来说明本发明的改良电极图案。 4 to 6 illustrate the electrode structure of the present invention with the overall structure. Next, the improved electrode pattern of the present invention will be described with detailed structure diagrams. the
请参考图7,其为图6的电极框层400的细部结构图。图中绘示了四个Z型电极,其中,两个完整者(片段长度为L1),两个片段者。Z型电极420-Xn-1,420-Xn,420-XN+1,分别可提供VN-1,VN,VN+1的电压分布,电极链430则可提供更细的电压分布。Z型电极的内部部分与电极链430所形成的空隙D1,其距离端视导电层300的物理特性而订,其为形成所需要的不连续电阻链,因此,由电阻的公式R=ρL/A,可计算出所需的D1值。其中,R为导线两端点电阻值,ρ为导线的导电系数,A为导线的截面积,L为导线的长度。同时,此空隙D1为不连续电阻链形成之处,其将于后续说明。
Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a detailed structure diagram of the
Z型电极之间有水平间隔421以及垂直间隔422,使得Z型电极之间形成 串联的电阻,进而构成串联电阻链。Z型电极厚度则为T1,具体的厚度设计端视生产制造的技艺而定。原则上,Z型电极的厚度T1越薄越好,以降低边框的大小,以使得触控面板的可触控区域更大。

电极链430则包括有第一均化电极431与第二均化电极432。其中,第一均化电极431的长度为L2,厚度为T2,其间隔434的宽度为L5,并且,第一均化电极431可为一T型结构,其T型底部的长度为L2A,厚度为与第二均化电极432平行为佳。第二均化电极432的长度则为L3,且第一均化电极431与第二均化电极432的间隔距离为433。其中,最佳者为第一均化电极431的T型底部长度L2A等于第二均化电极432的长度L3者,而第一均化电极431的T型底部边缘与第二均化电极432的边缘所形成的间隙距离L4,最佳者为第二均化电极432的长度的2/3,其余的比例亦可,如1/5,1/4,1/3,1/2,2/5,2/7,3/5,3/7,4/5,...。可以实际的测试来决定何者所达到的电场均匀性最佳。
The
在串联电极链420的Z型电极内部部分内缘,平均分布有均化电极链430的多个第一均化电极431(构成第一均化电极链)与多个第二均化电极432(构成第二均化电极链),如图7所示者。当电极链430形成于导电层300上时,第一均化电极链与第二均化电极链的间隔433,434即构成导电层300上的电阻结构。由于第一均化电极链与第二均化电极链为均匀分布者,因此,可使得经由Z型电极再经由不连续电阻链所传递来的电压,再做一次均匀化的分配。亦即,电极链430可使得最终传递到导电层300的触控区的电场,更均匀地分配。
On the inner edge of the Z-shaped electrode of the
而每个Z型电极内部部分内缘的第一均化电极链与第二均化电极链的制作数量,除了图7的2组外,可视生产技巧来做不同的数量搭配,例如,可以制作为3组、4组、5组...均可。如此的配置,需同时搭配导电层300上的不连续电阻链的设计共同考虑。亦即,每个第一均化电极431的位置,均配置于一个不连续电阻段,以作为电压传递的媒介。而第二均化电极432的后可将电压再做更细致的配置,例如,制作第三均化电极再进行均化一次。
The production quantity of the first homogenizing electrode chain and the second homogenizing electrode chain on the inner edge of each Z-shaped electrode, in addition to the two groups in Figure 7, can be matched in different quantities depending on the production skills. For example, you can It can be made into 3 sets, 4 sets, 5 sets...it is all right. Such a configuration needs to be considered together with the design of the discontinuous resistance chain on the
接着,请参考图8,其为将电极框层400形成于导电层300后的放大图。 由图中可清楚观察到,不连续电阻331形成于绝缘部311、Z型电极与第一均化电极431之间,其通过导电层300而形成电阻,也形成Z型电极的导通部分,并且,其以不连续电阻331与Z型电极、第一均化电极的间系为无缝接合。从图中可清楚发现,每个Z型电极的内部部分,均有一个不连续电阻331的一段;而Z型电极的垂直部分的中心,则对应有一个不连续电阻331的一段。于是,第一均化电极431即可通过不连续电阻331传导Z型电极的电压并加以均化,接着,再通过第二均化电极432将第一均化电极431的电压,再进行二次均化。由于第二均化电极432是与第一均化电极431的T型底部平行排列,于是,第一均化电极431的电压可与第二均化电极432的电压均匀地输出至导电层300上。
Next, please refer to FIG. 8 , which is an enlarged view after the
此外,由于不连续电阻链提供不同的电阻给Z型电极作为电压出口以作为电压的补偿,于是,每个Z型电极经由不连续电阻段的输出电压将会一致。再经过电极链430的电场均化,即可获得相当均匀的边缘电场分布,可有效地降低边缘电场的涟波效应。
In addition, since the discontinuous resistance chain provides different resistances to the Z-shaped electrodes as voltage outlets for voltage compensation, the output voltage of each Z-shaped electrode through the discontinuous resistance segment will be consistent. After the electric field is averaged by the
其中,不连续电阻331的长度,是依据Y=aX2+b的公式计算得其长度。计算方法说明如下:
Wherein, the length of the
1.X是为由角落电极起算的Z型电极数,例如,从角落电极411开始起算,共有X1=1,X2=2,X3=3,X4=4,X5=5,5个Z型电极。 1.X is the number of Z-shaped electrodes counted from the corner electrodes, for example, starting from the corner electrodes 411, there are X1=1, X2=2, X3=3, X4=4, X5=5, 5 Z-shaped electrodes . the
2.b为默认值,其由实验与统计获得,最佳者为0.3~2.0mm之间。 2.b is the default value, which is obtained from experiments and statistics, and the best one is between 0.3 and 2.0 mm. the
3.a是由Ymax计算而得,Ymax的大小,可由图6上方之中央电极429长度获得。至于中央电极的长度,则以面板的大小以及串联电极链的数目来评估获得。Ymax较佳者为该电极长度再左右各减去0.1mm为最佳。 3. a is calculated from Ymax, and the size of Ymax can be obtained from the length of the central electrode 429 at the top of FIG. 6 . As for the length of the central electrode, it is evaluated by the size of the panel and the number of serial electrode chains. The better Ymax is the length of the electrode minus 0.1 mm from the left and right sides. the
4.由Ymax,b值与X值,即可获得a值得参数。 4. From the Ymax, b value and X value, the a value parameter can be obtained. the
于是,Yn-1的长度,以Yn-1=a(n-1)2+b计算得到,Yn的长度,以Yn=a(n)2+b计算得到。而Yn-1与Yn的中间Yn-0.5的长度,可以用两种方式来计算得到:I.X=(Xn-1+Xn)/2,再代入公式;II.以Y=(Yn-1+Yn)/2。实际的效果,以第一式较 佳。 Therefore, the length of Y n-1 is calculated by Y n-1 =a(n-1) 2 +b, and the length of Y n is calculated by Y n =a(n) 2 +b. And the length of Y n-0.5 between Y n-1 and Y n can be calculated in two ways: IX=(X n-1 +X n )/2, then substitute into the formula; II. with Y=( Y n-1 +Y n )/2. For the actual effect, the first formula is better.
其中,不连续电阻331的最佳位置,是以Z型电极的垂直段中心YC1以及其内部部分的中心YC2(两垂直段中心的中心),而第一均化电极的中心则对应至不连续电阻的中心即可。当然,在生产制造上所产生的些许偏差,或者,设计时进行非中心的配置,亦为本发明可提供者,其均可达到本发明所欲达成的效果。
Wherein, the optimum position of the
此外,在实务上,亦可采用Z型电极的内部部分分配多个不连续电阻的设计方式。换句话说,本发明是于串联电极链的每个电极与电极间,配置一个不连续电阻,而每个电极的内部部分,亦可配置一个以上的不连是电阻。此外,每个不连续电极则可配置一个以上的第一均化电极,而第一均化电极之间,则可配置一个以上的第二均化电极。亦即,不连续电阻,第一均化电极或第二均化电极的数量配置,以能达到本发明所欲解决的电场均化的问题为目的,其可视生产设备可达到的精度以及成本为主要的考虑。 In addition, in practice, a design method of distributing multiple discontinuous resistors to the inner part of the Z-shaped electrode can also be adopted. In other words, in the present invention, a discontinuous resistor is arranged between each electrode of the series electrode chain, and more than one discontinuous resistor can be arranged in the inner part of each electrode. In addition, each discontinuous electrode may be configured with more than one first homogenizing electrode, and between the first homogenizing electrodes, more than one second homogenizing electrode may be configured. That is to say, discontinuous resistance, the number configuration of the first homogenizing electrode or the second homogenizing electrode is aimed at achieving the problem of electric field homogenization to be solved by the present invention, which can be achieved according to the accuracy and cost of the production equipment as the main consideration. the
若采用每个串联电极的电极内部部分以多个不连续电阻的方式设计,也就是在两个Z型电极的垂直段中心YC1(若采用其它的电极架构,则为电极与电极之间的电极内部部分)配置有多个不连续电阻,则配置于其间的不连续电阻的长度计算,同样可采用上述的两种计算方式获得。例如,采用两个不连续电阻配置于Z型电极的内部部分时,其较佳者为与两旁的不连续电阻作等距离配置,如介于Yn-1与Yn之间时,分别为Yn-0.67,Yn-0.33。而Yn-0.67=a(n-0.67)2+b,以Yn-0.33=a(n-0.33)2+b;或者,Yn-0.67=(Yn-1*2+Yn*1)/3以Yn-0.33=(Yn-1*1+Yn*2)/3。其中,亦以前者的效果较佳。 If the internal part of the electrode of each series electrode is designed in the form of multiple discontinuous resistances, that is, at the center YC1 of the vertical section of the two Z-shaped electrodes (if other electrode structures are used, it is the electrode between the electrodes The internal part) is configured with multiple discontinuous resistors, then the calculation of the length of the discontinuous resistors disposed therebetween can also be obtained by using the above two calculation methods. For example, when two discontinuous resistors are used to configure the inner part of the Z-shaped electrode, the preferred one is to be equidistant from the discontinuous resistors on both sides, such as between Y n-1 and Y n , respectively Yn-0.67 , Yn-0.33 . And Y n-0.67 =a(n-0.67) 2 +b, Y n-0.33 =a(n-0.33) 2 +b; or, Y n-0.67 =(Y n-1 *2+Y n * 1)/3 with Y n-0.33 = (Y n-1 *1+Y n *2)/3. Among them, the effect of the former is better.
此外,用不同的计算方法所获得的不连续电阻,亦可用于本发明。只要透过本发明的第一均化电极,或者,透过本发明的第一均化电极与第二均化电极的搭配,即可形成良好的均匀电压分配。而Z型电极,仅为本发明所采用的一个实施例而已,其它的不同串联电极链的形状,亦可用作为本发明的实施例。由于其原理皆相同,以下不再赘述。 In addition, discontinuous resistance obtained by different calculation methods can also be used in the present invention. Good uniform voltage distribution can be formed only through the first homogenizing electrode of the present invention, or through the combination of the first homogenizing electrode and the second homogenizing electrode of the present invention. The Z-shaped electrode is only an embodiment of the present invention, and other shapes of different series electrode chains can also be used as embodiments of the present invention. Since the principles are the same, they will not be described in detail below. the
于是,经由本发明的电极框层400与导电层300的图案设计,即可平均 化角落电极411,412,413,414之间的电阻值。故X轴向的电压等位线即使在近线路边缘,仍能取得极佳的并行线分布;同样地,Y轴向的电压等位线亦可得到极佳的并行线分布。
Therefore, through the pattern design of the
图8的实施例,是说明了构成不连续电阻331的绝缘部311形成于串联电极链420的内部部分以及第一串联电极链431之间,并且,绝缘部311与串联电极链420及第一串联电极链431紧密连结,可形成良好的绝缘关系。如此的结构,可有效地使Z型电极的电压准确地提供给第一串联电极链431。
The embodiment of FIG. 8 illustrates that the insulating
然而,在生产制造时,难免会发生制程上的偏差,使得绝缘部311未能准确地形成于串联电极链420的内部部分以及第一串联电极链431之间。以产品使用的角度而言,该等产品若能达到客户的要求,仍能列为良品。
However, during manufacturing, process deviations inevitably occur, so that the insulating
请参考图9,其为将电极框层400形成于导电层300后的放大图的第二例。在不连续电阻331的绝缘部311形成于串联电极链420的内部部分以及第一串联电极链431之间,并且,绝缘部311与串联电极链420形成一间距D1A,且与第一串联电极链431形成一间距D1B。此种结构仍可达到有效的电场均匀分布性。
