Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a touch panel, and more particularly to a touch having a flat outer surface panel. [Prior Art] In recent years, various electronic products have been moving toward simple operation, small size, and large screen size. In particular, portable electronic products have stricter requirements on volume and screen size. Therefore, many electronic products integrate the touch panel with the liquid crystal display panel to omit the space required for the keyboard or the control buttons, thereby expanding the configurable area of the screen. Currently, touch panels can be roughly classified into resistive, capacitive, infrared, and ultrasonic touch panels. Among them, resistive touch panels and capacitive touch panels are the most common products. Figure i is a cross-sectional view of a conventional touch panel. Please refer to the picture! The conventional touch panel 1A includes a first electrode substrate 110 and a second electrode substrate 12, and the first electrode 11 11G and the second electrode 12 12G are stacked on each other with a small gap therebetween. The user can directly press the second electrode substrate 120 with a hand or a stylus to perform a touch operation. In the meantime, a flexible circuit board 130 is connected to the outside of the first electrode substrate 11 and a conductive film (not shown) is disposed on the first electrode substrate 11 and the second electrode substrate 12, respectively. The pressing action of the user will cause the two conductive films (not shown) on the first electrode substrate 11 and the second electrode substrate 12 to generate an electrical signal ' and transmit to the control crystal 201011614 through the flexible circuit board 130. ^07-0813 28557twf.d〇c/n The chip analyzes the electrical signal and touches the coordinates of the touch point.

It is mainly disposed on the through hole of the first electrode substrate no by a gold 140 so that the signal on the first electrode substrate 12G can be transmitted to the flexible circuit board (10). At the same time, in order to electrically connect the metal pin 140 to the circuit on the flexible circuit board 13, the metal pin 14 has a disk-shaped head. The fact that the disc-shaped head portion 14A protrudes from the circuit board 13 makes the outer surface of the touch panel unflattenable, and the control panel (9) is difficult to attach to other components such as the display panel. Further, the area occupied by the disc-shaped head portion 14a is large, and the area of the action area of the touch panel 1〇〇 may be limited. It is worth mentioning that the use of metal pin connections may result in problems that affect the yield of the touch panel 100. For example, if the size of the stitch is too long, the second electrode substrate 120 is deformed by pressure, and the size of the β metal pin is too short to cause a problem of poor connection between the second electrode substrate (10) and the flexible board 130. .

As such, the protective layer 270 can protect the wires 25 from the wires 25 to prevent the wires 25 from being provided by the rot- ing surface to facilitate the subsequent assembly process of the touch panel 200. In the present embodiment, the connection electrode 232 is, for example, a plurality of metal electrodes. For example, the connection electrode 232 may be a silver electrode disposed on the second electrode substrate 23A. In addition, in the embodiment, for example, an instrument for ultrasonically vibrating the metal needle is used to dispose the wire 25〇 in the first through hole 216, the second through hole 216B, the third through hole 222, and the fourth through hole. . At the same time, the material of the wire 250 includes silver, inscription, copper or other metal materials. In practice, the surface of the connection electrode 232 may be provided with a conductive paste such as silver paste to further improve the bonding property between the wire 250 and the connection electrode 232. Of course, the material of the above connecting electrode 232 and the manufacturing method of the wire 25A are only for the purpose of, for example, 201011614^07-0813 28557twf.doc/n, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Compared with the conventional connection manner of the metal pins, the connection between the connection electrode 232 and the conductive pads 244 by using the wires 250 in this embodiment can not only maintain the electrical connection relationship between the connection electrodes 232 and the conductive pads 244, but also does not cause The second electrode substrate 230 is deformed by being pressed. Further, in order to enhance the inlaying ability of the protective layer 27, in this embodiment, the aperture of the third through hole 222 is larger than the aperture of the first through hole 216A and the second through hole 216b, so that the first through hole 216A is located. The second through hole 216b and the protective layer 270 in the second through hole 222 are substantially T-shaped. Therefore, once the circuit board 240 is pulled outward by an external force, the τ-shaped design can provide sufficient inlay strength to prevent the protective layer 27 from being detached outward and prevent the wire 250 from being broken or damaged. In other words, the design of the first through hole 216A, the second through hole 216B, the third through hole 222, and the fourth through hole 242 through the groove 212 can make the touch panel 200 have a flat outer surface. 'And further by providing the size of the through hole to provide a similar misplacement', the protective layer 270 has better reliability, and the quality of the touch panel 200 is improved. 4 and FIG. 5 are partial cross-sectional views of the touch panel taken along the Y direction of FIG. 2, wherein FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the electrical connection relationship between the second electrode substrate 230 and the circuit board 240. FIG. The electrical connection relationship between the first electrode substrate 210B and the circuit board 240 is shown. Referring first to Fig. 4, the first electrode substrate 210B and the second electrode substrate 230 are each composed of a flexible substrate plated with a conductive oxide layer (not shown). In the present embodiment, the recess 212 is, for example, located on the carrier substrate 210A, and the first electrode substrate 210B is disposed on the carrier substrate 210A. The carrier substrate 21A is made of, for example, a material having a relatively hard texture such as glass or polycarbonate. When the user presses the touch panel 2', the carrier substrate 210A can provide an appropriate bearing force to prevent the touch panel 200 from being deformed as a whole. A conductive oxide layer (not shown) in the second electrode substrate 230 is used to sense a signal generated by a user's touch action. In addition, the plurality of connection electrodes 232 of the second electrode substrate 230 are electrically connected to the φ conductive oxide layer (not shown) of the second electrode substrate 230. The sensing signal generated on the conductive oxide layer (not shown) of the second electrode substrate 230 in the partial touch panel 200 shown in FIG. 4 can be transmitted to the circuit board 240 through the connection electrode 232 and the wire 25 〇. . Then, referring to FIG. 5, in order for the touch panel 200 to correctly perform touch sensing, signals on the conductive oxide layer (not shown) of the first electrode substrate 21B must also be transmitted to the circuit board 240. Therefore, from the partial cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, the first electrode substrate 21B further has a plurality of signal transmission electrodes 218 (only one is shown as an example) for conducting the first electrode substrate 210B. An oxide layer (not shown) is electrically connected to the connection electrode 232. In actuality, in order to electrically connect the signal transmitting electrode 218 to the connecting electrode 232, the touch panel 200 may further include at least one conductive paste 28, which is located between the signal transmitting electrode 218 and the connecting electrode 232. Thus, the signal on the conductive oxide layer (not shown) of the first electrode substrate 210B can be transmitted to the circuit board 240 through the signal transmission electrode 218, the conductive paste 280, the connection electrode 232, and the wire 250. In general, the connecting electrode 232 of this embodiment has a part of electrical 12 201011614 ”~^207-0813 28557twf.doc/n connected to the first electrode substrate 210B′ and the other part is electrically connected to the second The electrode substrate 23G. The signal generated on any of the electrode substrates (2i〇b or 230) can be transmitted to the circuit board 240 through the connection electrode 232 and the wire 250 to complete the transmission of the touch control signal. Meanwhile, from the cross-sectional views of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the touch panel 2 can make the touch panel 200 have a flat outer surface, particularly the outer side of the bearing 210A, thereby contributing to In the present embodiment, the first electrode substrate 21A and the second electrode substrate 230 are plated with a conductive oxide layer, for example, when the touch panel 2 is attached to the second substrate. The flexible plastic substrate is formed. Since the touch panel 200 is often attached to the display panel to form a touch display device, the conductive oxide layer is preferably selected from transparent conductive materials and oxides to provide good performance. Light transmittance. For example, transparent conductivity The oxide is, for example, indium tin oxide, steel zinc oxide, etc. Figure 6 is a top view of the touch panel of Figure 2. Referring to Figure 6, the touch panel 200 has an action area AA and is located, for example. The area A of the area around the AA is mainly the area where the touch panel 200 can perform the touch control action, and the line area CA is configured with the signal transmission related line. Generally speaking, the touch area is generally The larger the action area of the panel 2〇〇, the larger the screen design and the better the operation convenience of the electronic device. In order to highlight the design of the line area CA, FIG. 6 will connect the electrode 232, the wire 250, and the conductive connection. The pad 244 and the circuit board 240 are directly drawn. The design of the line area CA is, for example, the same as the above-mentioned circuit design. Also 13 201011614; 207-0813 2S557twf.doc/n is a wish to connect the connecting electrode with a wire 25〇 The contact panel 2GG can provide a flat outer surface with the conductive bonding device. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the area occupied by the line area CA of the embodiment is only about a long rectangular area, and thus the area occupied by the action area AA can be Moderate increase. In this way, the device for applying the touch panel 200 in the phase setting device can have a larger display screen and is more in line with the market demand.
