DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

100251 Referring to FIG. lA to FIG. 3, illustrating a first embodiment of the instant disclosure. The first embodiment provides a screen protective sticker stmcture, which includes a plurality of screen protectors 1 overlaying each other. Each screen protector 1 has an optical film 11 and an adhesion layer 12 disposed on bottom of the optical film 11.

100261 The optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are plastic films 111 (as FIG. lB shown).

100271 As FIG. 1 C shown, the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are anti-scratch films 112. The anti-scratch film 112 on the plastic film 111 can be achieved by a surface hardening process.. The anti-scratch film 112 improves the anti-scraping ability of the screen protector 1 and enhances the hardness of the screen protector 1.

100281 As FIG. 1D shown, the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are anti-glare films 113. The anti-glare film 113 is made by the plastic film 111 with mat finish. The anti-glare film 113 may scatter reflecting lights from the display screens and thus providing users better view-ability in bright light environments.

100291 As FIG. 1E shown, the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are anti-reflective films 114. The anti-reflective film 114 makes the screen protector 1 to reduce a light reflective effect.

100301 As FIG. iF shown, the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are anti-fingerprint films 115. The anti-fingerprint film 115 may reduce greasy fingerprint marks on the screen protector 1.

100311 As FIG. 1G shown, the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are anti-peeping films 116. The anti-peeping film 116 is made by a microlouver optical technology and a precision fitting technology to control light reflection. The anti-peeping film 116 makes the screen protector 1 presenting a dark view as looking at the screen protector 1 over a specific angle.

100321 As FIG. 1 H shown, the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are specular reflection films 117. The specular reflection film 117 is made by a condenser show and highlight reflection technology.

100331 As FIG. 11 shown, the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1 are 3D-relief films 118. The 3D-relief film 118 is made by an optical resin, and the appearance of the 3D-relief film 118 has a 3D convex body, which is formed in a special construction method.

100341 Furthermore, the optical films 11 can be an any combination from a plastic film 111, an anti-scratch film 112, an anti-glare film 113, an anti-reflective film 114, an anti-fingerprint film 115, an anti-peeping film 116, a specular reflection film 117, and a 3D relief film 118 (as FIG. lJ shown).

100351 The adhesion layer 12 is bonded on bottom of the optical film 11, and the optical film 11 and the adhesion layer 12 can not be separated by human tearing. One of any two corresponding screen protectors 1 of the screen protective structure is bonding to the optical film 11 of the other one by the adhesion layer 12, and the two corresponding screen protectors 1 can be separated by human tearing.

100361 Each adhesion layer 12 of the screen protectors 1 is of certain stickiness, and the stickiness of the adhesion layers 12 is decreasing or equal from the top adhesion layer 12 to the bottom adhesion layer 12 of the screen protectors 1. In other words, stickiness of the outer adhesion layer 12 of the two corresponding screen protectors 1 is weaker than the inner one. Therefore, when removing the top screen protector 1, the next screen protector 1 bonded by the top screen protector 1 would not be removed at the same time.

100371 The adhesion layers 12 are in an electrostatic adsorption type or a pasting type. The adhesion layers 12 can tear and post repeatedly, and the adhesion layers 12 do not have defective gum.

100381 The screen protective structure further has a release film 2 bonded on the adhesion layer 12 of the bottom screen protector 1. And, the screen protective structure further has a protective film 6 and an adhesion layer 61 bonded on the protective film 6, and the said adhesion layer 61 is bonded on the optical film 11 of the top screen protector 1. Therefore, when transporting the screen protective structure, the protective film 6 can prevent the screen protector 1 to be damaged.

100391 When using the screen protective structure, tearing the lease film 2 at first, and taking the adhesion layer 12 of the bottom screen protector 1 to bond on a screen of an electronic device 3. If a bubble (not shown) is formed between the adhesion layer 12 of the bottom screen protector 1 and the screen of the electronic device 3, the adhesion layer 12 of the bottom screen protector 1 can be torn and posted repeatedly until the bubble disappeared. Finally, removing the protective film 6.

100401 Size of the screen protective structure can be produced and design according to user demand. The electronic device 3 is a notebook computer 31 (as FIG. 2 shown), a cell phone 32 (as FIG. 3 shown), a camera, a TV, an e-book, a calculator, a watch, a phone, a refrigerator, a portable media player, a portable game console, a tool machine, a PDA, a handheld UPS, or a display and so on (not shown). Besides, amount of the screen protectors 1 of the screen protective structure can be produced and design according to user demand, and thickness of the screen protective structure is controlled in a range. Therefore, when the screen protective structure is bonded on the screen of the electronic device 3, the screen protective structure is higher than the screen of the electronic device 3 inconspicuously. Furthermore, the screen protective structure can be bonded on a touch screen (not shown) for protecting the touch screen.

100411 The screen protective structure is a multilayer structure, so the screen protective structure can provide an anti-scraping ability and an anti-bumping ability better than the prior art. When the top screen protector 1 is damaged, removing the top screen protector 1 and the screen protective structure will protect the screen continuously, and it only needs one release film 2.

100421 Besides, the screen protective structure can take off the top screen protector 1 to bond on the screen of the electronic device 3. Therefore, the instant disclosure can be divided to several screen protectors 1 for protecting several screens by using one release film 2, whereby reducing the waste release film 2.

100431 Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 4A, illustrating a second embodiment of the instant disclosure. The differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows. Each screen protector 1 has an index plate 4 formed on one side thereof, and the index plates 4 are arranged side by side. Therefore, user can remove the screen protector 1 or the screen protectors 1 that user wants to remove according to the index plates 4.

100441 Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, illustrating a third embodiment of the instant disclosure. The differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows. The screen protective structure further has a plurality of guide plates 5. The guide plates 5 are separately bonded on the optical films 11 of the screen protectors 1. Therefore, user can remove the screen protector 1 or the screen protectors 1 that user wants to remove according to the guide plates 5. Besides, as FIG. 6 shown, the guide plate 5 can

S

be an assistant tool for removing the screen protector 1. For example, user takes one guide plate 5 to bond on the top screen protector 1, and taking off the guide plate 5 and the top screen protector 1.

100451 The instant disclosure has several features, includes as follows.

(1) When the top screen protector 1 is damaged, removing the top screen protector 1 and the screen protective structure will protect the screen continuously, thereby the instant disclosure only needs one release film 2. (2) The screen protective structure is multilayer structure, so the screen protective structure can provide an anti-scraping ability and an anti-bumping ability better than the prior art. (3) User can remove the screen protector 1 or the screen protectors 1 that user wants to remove according to the index plates 4 or the guide plates 5.
