See also Fig. 8, the embodiment of the invention further provides a kind of preparation method of touch panel 10, and it may further comprise the steps:
Step 1 provides a dielectric base 12, and forms an adhesive-layer 13 on a surface of this dielectric base 12.Wherein, touch area 10A and the 10B definition of cabling zone according to above-mentioned Fig. 3 touch panel 10 extremely shown in Figure 6 has touch area 10A and cabling zone 10B on the said surface of said dielectric base 12.
The material of said adhesive-layer 13 is not limit, so long as under a certain condition, can realize local solidification viscose glue can, like thermoplastic, hot-setting adhesive or UV glue etc.The method of said formation one adhesive-layer 13 can be spin-coating method, spraying process, brushing etc.In the present embodiment, said dielectric base 12 is a PET film.Said adhesive-layer 13 is that a thickness is about 1.5 microns UV glue-line, and it is formed at PET film one surface through the method that applies.
Step 2 is solidified the adhesive-layer 13 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B.
It is relevant with the material of adhesive-layer 13 that said curing is positioned at the method for adhesive-layer 13 of cabling zone 10B.Said thermoplastic can pass through local cooling curing, and said hot-setting adhesive can solidify through spot heating, and said UV glue can solidify through local ultraviolet lighting.
In the present embodiment, the method that said curing is positioned at the adhesive-layer 13 of cabling zone 10B may further comprise the steps:

Secondly, adopt UV-irradiation to be positioned at the UV glue-line of cabling zone 10B, so that be positioned at the UV curable adhesive layer of cabling zone 10B;
Then, remove mask 15.
The said mask 15 unsettled surfaces that are arranged at said adhesive-layer 13 away from dielectric base 12.The time of said UV-irradiation is 2 seconds ~ 10 seconds.In the present embodiment, the time of said UV-irradiation is 4 seconds.
Step 3 forms a carbon nanotube layer 19 on adhesive-layer 13 surfaces.
Said carbon nanotube layer 19 can be formed at adhesive-layer 13 surfaces through methods such as printing, deposition or direct layings.In the present embodiment, said carbon nanotube layer 19 is one to have the carbon nano-tube film of self-supporting effect, and it can directly be layed in whole adhesive-layer 13 surfaces.After carbon nanotube layer 19 is formed at adhesive-layer 13 surfaces; Because being positioned at the part of cabling zone 10B, adhesive-layer 13 has cured; Only be formed at adhesive-layer 13 surfaces so be positioned at the carbon nanotube layer 19 of cabling zone 10B, and combine with the adhesive-layer 13 of curing through Van der Waals force.Therefore, the said carbon nanotube layer 19 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B is fainter with the adhesion of adhesive-layer 13.Because it is still uncured that adhesive-layer 13 is positioned at the part of touch area 10A, can partly or entirely soak into adhesive-layer 13 so be arranged in 19 of the carbon nanotube layers of touch area 10A, and combine with adhesive-layer 13 through cohesive force.Therefore, the said carbon nanotube layer that is positioned at touch area 10A 19 is more firm with the adhesion of adhesive-layer 13.Preferably, the said CNT that is arranged in the carbon nanotube layer 19 of touch area 10A partly soaks into adhesive-layer 13, and part is exposed to outside the adhesive-layer 13.
Further, soak into adhesive-layer 13, can also comprise the step of this carbon nanotube layer 19 of extruding in order to make the carbon nanotube layer 19 that is arranged in touch area 10A.In the present embodiment, adopt a PET film to be layed in carbon nanotube layer 19 surfaces, this carbon nanotube layer 19 of extruding gently.
Step 4 is solidified the adhesive-layer 13 that is positioned at touch area 10A, and is fixing with the carbon nanotube layer 19 that will be positioned at touch area 10A.
The method of adhesive-layer 13 that said curing is positioned at touch area 10A is identical with step 2, need select according to the material of adhesive-layer 13.Said curing is positioned at that the step of adhesive-layer 13 of touch area 10A is actual to be cured for the uncured portion that adhesive-layer 13 is positioned at touch area 10A.Soak into adhesive-layer 13 owing to be arranged in the carbon nanotube layer 19 of touch area 10A, can be fixed in the process that adhesive-layer 13 solidifies so be arranged in the carbon nanotube layer 19 of touch area 10A in this step.And the adhesive-layer 13 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B has cured, can be unfixing by adhesive-layer 13 so be positioned at the carbon nanotube layer 19 of cabling zone 10B.In the present embodiment, the method through UV-irradiation makes the UV adhesive curing that is positioned at touch area 10A.
Step 5 is removed the carbon nanotube layer 19 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B and is obtained a transparency conducting layer 14.
Said removal is positioned at the method for the carbon nanotube layer 19 of cabling zone 10B and can peels off or peel off through cleaning roller for boning through adhesive tape.Said cleaning roller surface has certain viscosity, can carbon nanotube layer 19 clung and peel off.Because being positioned at the carbon nanotube layer 19 of cabling zone 10B only combines with adhesive-layer 13 through Van der Waals force; With adhesive-layer 13 surface combination power a little less than, so roll and can easily the carbon nanotube layer 19 of this cabling zone 10B be removed through adhesive tape bonding or cleaning roller.In the present embodiment, will be positioned at carbon nanotube layer 19 removals of cabling zone 10B through the method for adhesive tape bonding.Because present embodiment makes the adhesive-layer 13 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B solidify earlier, the back forms carbon nanotube layer 19, so greatly reduce the difficulty of the carbon nanotube layer 19 of removing cabling zone 10B.Certainly, remove the carbon nanotube layer 19 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B and can also take other modes, such as laser ablation, particle beams etching or beamwriter lithography etc.
Step 6 forms electrode 16 and conducting wire 18.
Said electrode 16 can pass through method preparations such as silk screen print method, chemical vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering with conducting wire 18.In the present embodiment, said electrode 16 is integrally formed through the serigraphy electrocondution slurry with conducting wire 18.The composition of this electrocondution slurry comprises metal powder, glass powder with low melting point and cementing agent.Wherein, this metal powder is preferably silver powder, and this cementing agent is preferably terpinol or ethyl cellulose.In this electrocondution slurry, the weight ratio of metal powder is 50% ~ 90%, and the weight ratio of glass powder with low melting point is 2% ~ 10%, and the weight ratio of cementing agent is 8% ~ 40%.
Be appreciated that step 5 and the order of step 6 in the present embodiment can exchange, promptly form electrode 16 and conducting wire 18 earlier, and then remove the carbon nanotube layer 19 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B.In this method, conducting wire 18 is formed at carbon nanotube layer 19 surfaces that are positioned at cabling zone 10B.Owing to form electrode 16 and conducting wire 18 earlier, be preferably laser ablation, particle beams etching or beamwriter lithography etc. so remove the method for the carbon nanotube layer 19 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B in this method.Owing to form electrode 16 and conducting wire 18 earlier, and then remove the carbon nanotube layer 19 that is positioned at cabling zone 10B, so kept the part CNT between the electrode 16 of the touch panel 10 of this method preparation and conducting wire 18 and the adhesive-layer 13.Required contraposition mask (mark) when the conducting wire 18 that is appreciated that said serigraphy can be used as laser ablation.
