背景技术 Background technique
触控面板已被广泛应用于家庭用品、通讯装置及电子信息装置等领域。通常触控面板的应用为个人数字助理(PDA)、电子产品及游戏机等输入接口。目前触控面板和显示屏的整合趋势可允许使用者以手指或接触笔选取面板上显示的代表图像(icon),如此可使个人数字助理、电子产品及游戏机执行喜好的功能。此种触控面板亦应用于公共信息查询系统,可以提供公众有效率的操作系统。 Touch panels have been widely used in fields such as household products, communication devices, and electronic information devices. Usually, touch panels are applied as input interfaces of personal digital assistants (PDAs), electronic products, and game consoles. The current trend of integration of touch panels and display screens allows users to select representative icons displayed on the panel with fingers or stylus, so that personal digital assistants, electronic products and game consoles can perform favorite functions. This kind of touch panel is also applied to the public information inquiry system, which can provide the public with an efficient operating system. the
传统触控面板包含一透明基板,该透明基板具有多个感测区域所构成的一表面,所述分布的感测区域用于感测使用者以手指或接触笔触摸所造成的信号,以进行输入或控制。该感测区域由透明导电薄膜所构成,例如:氧化铟锡(ITO),使用者可以触摸显示于显示屏上特定位置的对应透明导电薄膜,即可有效操作该装置。 The traditional touch panel includes a transparent substrate, and the transparent substrate has a surface composed of a plurality of sensing areas, and the distributed sensing areas are used to sense signals caused by a user's touch with a finger or a stylus to perform input or control. The sensing area is made of a transparent conductive film, such as indium tin oxide (ITO), and the user can effectively operate the device by touching the corresponding transparent conductive film displayed on a specific position on the display screen. the
为能有效侦测使用者以手指或接触笔触摸面板的正确位置,有很多种触控面板的技术被发展出来。图1例示现有的触控面板200,图2为沿图1中线1-1的剖面图。该触控面板200包含一透明基板201、一第一透明导电层203、一绝缘层209及一第二透明导电层211。该第一透明导电层203以光学蚀刻制程被图案化及形成于该透明基板201上,其包含多个第一单元205及连接沿纵向对齐排列第一单元205的多个第一导线207。该绝缘层209覆盖该第一透明导电层203及该基板201。图案化的第二透明导电层211形成于该绝缘层209上,且包含多个第二电极单元213及连接沿横向对齐排列第二单元213的多个第二导线215。
In order to effectively detect the correct position where the user touches the panel with a finger or a stylus, many touch panel technologies have been developed. FIG. 1 illustrates a
该触控面板200另有多个金属线217,设于绝缘层209的一侧,通过所 述多个金属线217使得该第二单元213的各横向连接得以转向所述多个该金属线217的汇流端。该第一透明导电层203和该第二透明导电层211覆盖于该基板201上,且该绝缘层209覆盖于该基板201上整个面积。
The
然而,该金属线217易于与空气中的氧气反应而发生氧化,因而增加电阻;为了避免该金属线217的氧化问题,现有技术必须在该金属线217的表面涂布一保护层(未显示于图中),将该金属线217与空气隔离并避免刮伤。然而,该保护层除了增加制造成本之外,亦会吸收光线,因而造成光穿透率变差。因此,市场上需要一种触控面板能克服上述现有触控面板所具有的缺点。 However, the metal wire 217 is prone to oxidation by reacting with oxygen in the air, thereby increasing resistance; in order to avoid the oxidation problem of the metal wire 217, the prior art must coat a protective layer (not shown) on the surface of the metal wire 217 In the figure), the metal wire 217 is isolated from the air and avoids scratches. However, in addition to increasing the manufacturing cost, the protective layer also absorbs light, thus resulting in poor light transmittance. Therefore, there is a need in the market for a touch panel capable of overcoming the above-mentioned shortcomings of existing touch panels. the

参考图21,形成一绝缘层120,包含多个第一绝缘区域121及第二绝缘区域123,该第一绝缘区域121局部覆盖该第一金属线107,该第二绝缘区域123局部覆盖该第二金属线109。在本实用新型的一实施例中,该绝缘层120是以一光学蚀刻工艺所形成,且各第一金属线107的相对的两端部则未被该绝缘层120覆盖,该绝缘层120的材料是一透明高分子材料,例如:光阻材料。
Referring to FIG. 21, an insulating
参考图22,形成一透明导电层130,至少覆盖该第一金属线107及该第二金属线109。在本实用新型的一实施例中,该透明导电层130包含多个第一单元131、多个第二单元135、多个第一连接线133及多个第二连接线137,所述多个第一单元131及所述多个第二单元135是交错布置,该第一连接线 133连接两相邻的该第二单元135,该第一金属线107线连接两相邻的该第一单元131,所述多个第二金属线109连接于邻近该外围区域105的该第一单元131或该第二单元135,所述多个第二连接线137覆盖所述多个金属线109。
Referring to FIG. 22 , a transparent conductive layer 130 is formed to at least cover the
在本实用新型的一实施例中,各该第一金属线107是衔接两相邻第一单元131间最短的路径。在本实用新型的一实施例中,该透明导电层130的材料是金属化合物,例氧化铟锡(ITO)、氧化铝锌(AZO)或氧化铟锌(IZO)。该光学蚀刻工艺包含溅镀、涂敷、曝光、软烤、硬烤、显影、烘烤和其它步骤。
In an embodiment of the present invention, each of the
图23是沿图22中线6-6的剖面图,图24是沿图22中线7-7的剖面图。参考图23,该第一金属线107及该第一连接线133是被该第一绝缘区域121所相互隔绝。参考图24,该透明导电层130的第二连接线137覆盖所述多个金属线109。本实用新型使用该透明导电层130的第二连接线137覆盖该金属线106,而该透明导电层130是金属化合物,不易氧化;此外,该透明导电层130的硬度高于该金属线109的硬度,不易被刮伤。
Fig. 23 is a cross-sectional view along line 6-6 in Fig. 22, and Fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view along line 7-7 in Fig. 22 . Referring to FIG. 23 , the
图25是沿图22中线7-7的剖面图的另一实施例。相较于图24的实施例将该金属线109直接形成于该透明基板101上并以该绝缘层120的绝缘区域123覆盖该金属线109,再将该透明导电层130的多个第二连接线137形成于该绝缘区域123上;图25的实施例将该金属线109形成于该透明基板101上后,即直接将该透明导电层130的多个第二连接线137形成于该金属线109上。
Fig. 25 is another embodiment of a cross-sectional view taken along line 7-7 in Fig. 22 . Compared with the embodiment of FIG. 24 , the
现有的金属线因易于与空气中的氧气反应而发生氧化现象,必须在该金属线的表面涂布一保护层;相对地,本实用新型使用该透明导电层130覆盖所述多个金属线109可省略去现有技术必须在金属线的表面涂一保护层,却仍可避免金属线氧化及刮伤问题。
The existing metal wires are easily oxidized due to the reaction with oxygen in the air, so a protective layer must be coated on the surface of the metal wires; on the contrary, the utility model uses the transparent conductive layer 130 to cover the plurality of
