技术领域 technical field
本实用新型是关于一种触控式面板的结构,特别是关于一种电容式触控面板的结构。The utility model relates to a structure of a touch panel, in particular to a structure of a capacitive touch panel.
背景技术 Background technique
目前的各式电子装置已广泛应用触控技术作为其输入方式,藉此,使用只要以手指或触控笔轻压显示器面板,即可阅读信息或进行信息的传输,可省去传统电子装置上必须配置的按钮、键盘或滑杆。Various current electronic devices have widely used touch technology as their input method. By this, users can read information or transmit information by lightly pressing the display panel with a finger or a stylus, which saves the need for traditional electronic devices. A button, pad or slider that must be configured.
触控面板依其感测原理的不同主要可分为电阻式、电容式、红外线式以及超音波式等,其中红外线式与超音波式触控面板是于屏幕的X轴及Y轴的一侧设置红外线或超音波的发射源,并在另一侧安装接收源,当用户接触屏幕时,红外线或超音波的运动即受到干扰,经由测量与确认受干扰的位置坐标即完成触控输入。电阻式触控面板是由上下两组ITO(氧化铟锡)导电薄膜迭合而成,利用压力而使上下电极导通后,经由控制器测知面板的电压变化而计算接触点位置以进行输入。至于电容式触控面板则由表面镀制有氧化金属的透明玻璃所构成,由其四个角落提供电压并于玻璃表面形成均匀电场,利用使用者手指与电场之间的静电反应所产生的电容变化来检测输入坐标。Touch panels can be divided into resistive, capacitive, infrared, and ultrasonic based on their sensing principles. Infrared and ultrasonic touch panels are located on the X-axis and Y-axis sides of the screen. Set the infrared or ultrasonic emission source, and install the receiving source on the other side. When the user touches the screen, the movement of the infrared or ultrasonic wave will be disturbed. After measuring and confirming the disturbed position coordinates, the touch input is completed. The resistive touch panel is composed of upper and lower two sets of ITO (indium tin oxide) conductive films. After using pressure to make the upper and lower electrodes conductive, the controller detects the voltage change of the panel and calculates the position of the contact point for input. . As for the capacitive touch panel, it is made of transparent glass coated with oxidized metal on the surface. Voltage is supplied from its four corners and a uniform electric field is formed on the glass surface, using the capacitance generated by the electrostatic reaction between the user's finger and the electric field. Variations to detect input coordinates.
电容式触控面板具有防尘、防火、防刮以及高分辨率等优点,然其容易受到静电或湿度的影响而造成动作或触控位置的误判;因此,为提升电容式触控面板的灵敏度,其于结构及电路的设计上难度较高,故于成本上尚有待突破之处。Capacitive touch panels have the advantages of dustproof, fireproof, scratch-resistant, and high resolution, but they are easily affected by static electricity or humidity and cause misjudgment of actions or touch positions; therefore, in order to improve the performance of capacitive touch panels Sensitivity is relatively difficult in structure and circuit design, so there is still a breakthrough in cost.
在美国专利US 7,030,860 B1中揭示了一种具有高穿透度与较佳灵敏度的电容式触控面板结构,且其采用可挠基板材料来建构传感器,因此可整合于各式垫子装置中。请参阅图1A,其说明了上述专利所揭示的触控面板的一维电容式感测结构1,其由一透明基板10以及镀有透明导电层16的另一透明基板14通过黏接层12的作用迭置而成。如欲形成二维电容式感测结构100时,则利用两组分别镀有透明导电层16A、16B的透明基板14A、14B,以不同方向(x轴方向与y轴方向)分置于绝缘层18两侧迭置而成,如图1B所示。In US Patent No. 7,030,860 B1, a capacitive touch panel structure with high penetration and better sensitivity is disclosed, and it uses flexible substrate materials to construct sensors, so it can be integrated into various mat devices. Please refer to FIG. 1A, which illustrates the one-dimensional
由上述感测结构所组成的电容式触控面板具有较复杂的多层结构设计,在整体制作上需要五至十层的制作程序,且需使用两块以上的基板以及一至三层的全面性绝缘层,不符目前电子装置尺寸轻薄短小的发展趋势。此外,由于上述电容式感测结构是以ITO作为上下导电电极,其阻值较高,也有导电性不佳进而影响感测灵敏度之虞。The capacitive touch panel composed of the above-mentioned sensing structure has a relatively complex multi-layer structure design, which requires five to ten layers of production procedures in the overall production, and requires the use of more than two substrates and one to three layers of comprehensiveness. The insulating layer does not conform to the current development trend of thin, light and small electronic devices. In addition, since the above-mentioned capacitive sensing structure uses ITO as the upper and lower conductive electrodes, its resistance value is relatively high, and the conductivity may be poor, thereby affecting the sensing sensitivity.
为了克服现有技术的上述缺失,申请人经悉心试验与研究,并一本锲而不舍的精神,提出本案“触控面板之感测结构”。本实用新型采用新颖的绝缘层设计,除可降低触控面板的厚度之外,也可减少所需基板数量、并进一步简化触控面板的整体制作程序。In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the applicant put forward this case "sensing structure of a touch panel" after careful experiments and researches and a persistent spirit. The utility model adopts a novel insulating layer design, which not only reduces the thickness of the touch panel, but also reduces the number of required substrates, and further simplifies the overall production process of the touch panel.
