Description

Touch window {TOUCH WINDOW}

The embodiment relates to a touch window.

Recently, in various electronic products, a touch window for inputting an image displayed on a display device by contacting an input device such as a finger or a stylus is applied.

The touch window may be typically divided into a resistive type touch window and a capacitive type touch window. When a pressure is applied to an input device, the resistive touch window detects a change in resistance according to the connection between electrodes, and a position is detected. The capacitive touch window detects a change in capacitance between electrodes when a finger touches it to detect a position. In view of the convenience and sensing power of the manufacturing method, the capacitive method has recently attracted attention in small models.

The touch window may detect a position by disposing a sensing electrode and a wiring electrode connected to the sensing electrode on a substrate, and sensing a change in capacitance when a region in which the sensing electrode is disposed is touched.

In this case, the sensing electrode and the wiring electrode may be disposed on one surface of the substrate using one substrate or may be disposed on one surface of each substrate using a plurality of substrates.

When the sensing electrode and the wiring electrode are disposed on one surface of the substrate using one substrate, the wiring electrode may be drawn out in various directions, and as an example, the wiring electrode may be disposed extending from an effective area to an ineffective area. .

In this case, when the wiring electrodes disposed on the effective area include metal, there is a problem in that the wiring electrodes can be visually recognized from the outside.

Accordingly, there is a need for a touch window having a new structure capable of solving the above problems.

The embodiment is to provide a touch window having improved reliability and visibility.

The touch window according to the embodiment includes: a substrate including an effective area and an inactive area; A sensing electrode on the effective area; And wiring electrodes disposed on the effective and non-effective areas. The wiring electrode includes a first mesh line having a first pitch, and a width of the wiring electrode is greater than the first pitch.

The touch window according to the embodiment may control the spacing and width of wiring electrodes disposed on the effective area.

In detail, it is possible to prevent the mesh electrodes in the wiring electrodes from being short-circuited to each other by making the width of the wiring electrodes more than twice the pitch of the mesh electrodes in the wiring electrodes.

Accordingly, the touch window according to the embodiment may have improved reliability.

In addition, by controlling the spacing of the wiring electrodes to a predetermined range, it is possible to prevent the wiring electrodes from being visually recognized from the outside in the effective area, and it is possible to prevent a short circuit between the wiring electrodes.

Accordingly, the touch window according to the embodiment may have improved reliability and visibility.

Referring to Table 1, when the widths of the wiring electrodes have a size of about twice or more of the mesh pitch of the wiring electrodes, it can be seen that the mesh electrodes of the wiring electrodes are not disconnected.

On the other hand, when the size is less than about twice, it can be seen that the mesh electrode of the wiring electrode is disconnected.

That is, the touch window according to the embodiment may prevent electrode disconnection by controlling the width of the wiring electrode and the size of the mesh pitch, thereby improving the reliability of the touch window.

Further, referring to Table 2, it can be seen that when the distance between the wiring electrodes is about 3 μm to about 12 μm, the wiring electrode is not visually recognized from the outside, and migration between the wiring electrodes does not occur.

On the other hand, when out of the above range, it can be seen that the wiring electrodes are visually recognized and migration occurs.

That is, the touch window according to the embodiment may improve visibility and reliability of the touch window by controlling the spacing between the wiring electrodes.

3 to 5 are diagrams for explaining a process of forming an electrode of a sensing electrode and/or a wiring electrode according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, the sensing electrode and/or the wiring electrode according to the embodiment arranges a metal layer M on the front surface of the substrate 100 and etching the metal layer M in a mesh shape, thereby forming a mesh electrode. Can be formed. For example, after depositing a metal layer (M) such as copper (Cu) on the entire surface of a substrate 100 such as polyetherene terephthalate (PET), etc., the copper layer is etched to form an embossed mesh. It is possible to form a copper metal mesh electrode.

Alternatively, referring to FIG. 4, after forming a resin layer (R) including a UV resin or a thermosetting resin layer on the substrate 100, the sensing electrode and/or the wiring electrode according to the embodiment, the resin layer (R After forming the intaglio pattern P having a mesh shape on ), the metal paste MP may be filled in the intaglio pattern. In this case, the intaglio pattern of the resin layer may be formed by imprinting a mold having a relief pattern.

The metal paste 340 may be a metal paste including at least one metal selected from Cr, Ni, Cu, Al, Ag, Mo, and alloys thereof. Accordingly, by filling and curing the metal paste in the mesh-shaped intaglio pattern (P), it is possible to form the intaglio mesh-shaped metal mesh electrode.

Alternatively, referring to FIG. 5, after forming a resin layer R including a UV resin or a thermosetting resin layer on the substrate 100, the sensing electrode and/or the wiring electrode according to the embodiment, the resin layer R ) After forming the mesh-shaped embossed nano-patterns and micro-patterns, the metal can be sputtered on the resin layer.

In this case, the embossed pattern of the nano pattern and the micro pattern may be formed by imprinting a mold having an engraved pattern.

Subsequently, the metal layer M formed on the nano-pattern P1 and the micro-pattern P1 is etched to remove only the metal layer formed on the nano-pattern, and only the metal layer formed on the micro-pattern remains. Electrodes can be formed.

In this case, when etching the metal layer, a difference in etching rate may occur according to a difference in bonding area between the nano-pattern 211 and the micro-pattern 212 and the metal layer. That is, since the bonding area between the micropattern and the metal layer is larger than the bonding area between the nanopattern and the metal layer, etching of the metal layer M formed on the micropattern occurs less, and according to the same etching rate, As the metal layer remains and the metal layer formed on the nano-pattern is removed by etching, a metal electrode having a micro-pattern embossed mesh may be formed on the substrate 100.
