Since the early Display is mostly a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Display, because it is bulky and consumes much power, and the generated radiation is dangerous for the user using the Display for a long time, the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is replacing the old CRT Display. The liquid crystal display has the advantages of being light, thin, short, small, low in radiation, low in power consumption and the like, and therefore, the liquid crystal display becomes the mainstream of the current market.
Furthermore, with the rapid advance of panel manufacturing technologies in recent years, the production cost of touch panels has been greatly reduced, so that touch panels are now widely used in general consumer electronics products, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, digital music players (MP3), Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), satellite navigation (GPS) and other small-sized electronic appliances, in which the touch panels are configured on the display screens of the electronic appliances for users to perform interactive input operations, thereby greatly improving the compatibility of the communication interface between people and machines and improving the input operation efficiency.
