Embodiment
Fig. 4 shows the synoptic diagram according to the four-wire type touch panel 11 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 5 is the sectional view along the A-A ' line of Fig. 4.Please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 4, Fig. 5, contact panel 11 of the present invention comprises transparency carrier 10, following transparency carrier 20, insulation spacer 60, a plurality of signal line, and ground loop.In the present invention, upper and lower transparency carrier 10,20 can be glass or plastics.For instance, upper and lower transparency carrier 10,20 can be polyester plastics, for example PET (polye thylene terephthalate; Polyethylene terephthalate).In touch-control, last transparency carrier 10 is preferably a pliability (flexible) plastics for convenience.
The lower surface of last transparency carrier 10 is formed with upper conductive film 12, and the upper surface of following transparency carrier 22 is formed with lower conductive film 22.Upper and lower conducting film 12 and 22 usefulness as resistive layer can be ITO (tin indium oxide), tin oxide (tin oxide) or antimony tin (ATO; Antimony-tin-oxide).Insulation spacer 60 is between upper and lower transparency carrier 10 and 20, in order to two conducting films 10 with opened in 20 minutes.
Signal line can be metal wire, for example silver-colored line, can comprise four sensing signal line, sensing signal line 31 and 32 are gone up in the viewing area (AA) that promptly is positioned at upper conductive film 12 relatively two on the two edges, and relative two the following sensing signal line 41 on the two edges and 42 in the viewing area (AA) that is positioned at lower conductive film 22, wherein descend sensing signal line 41 and 42 and last sensing signal line 31 and 32 compositions one rectangular-shaped.Signal line comprises that again four transmission signal line 31a, 32a, 41a, 42a are connected with 42 with sensing signal line 31,32,41 respectively.Between signal line 41,42 and the upper conductive film 12, and between signal line 31a, 32a and the lower conductive film 22, separate by solid (for example double faced adhesive tape) 50.
The invention is characterized in, provide ground loop G1 around living these sensing signal line 31,32,41,42 and these transmission signal lines 31a, 32a, 41a, 42a, and be electrically insulated with these signal line 31,32,41,42, these transmission signal lines 31a, 32a, 41a, 42a, upper conductive film 12 and lower conductive film 22 by insulation layer I1, and ground loop G1 is by ground wire G1b, be electrically connected to outside earth terminal (not shown), for example the earth terminal of the earth terminal of the earth terminal of touching control panel controller, flat-panel screens or electronic installation.
In addition, in present embodiment, ground loop is made of the conduction combination layer, as shown in Figure 5.Ground loop G1 can comprise the first conducting film 12a, the second conducting film 2a and the 3rd conducting film 22a, and wherein the first, the 3rd conducting film 12a, 22a can be ITO (tin indium oxide), tin oxide (tin oxide) or antimony tin (ATO; Antimony-tin-oxide), and the first conducting film 12a can form with the upper conductive film on the last transparency carrier 10 12, and the 3rd conducting film 22a can form with the lower conductive film 22 on the transparency carrier 20 down.The second conducting film 2a can be metal level, for example silver-colored line layer.Because this insulation layer I1 is in order to separate ground loop G1 and these sensing signal line 31,32,41,42, these transmission signal lines 31a, 32a, 41a, 42a, upper conductive film 12 and lower conductive film 22, therefore, ground loop G1 and these sensing signal line 31,32,41 and 42, upper conductive film 12 and lower conductive film 22 are electrically insulated.In this example, insulation layer I1 can be by being made of megohmite insulant, silicon dioxide for example, perhaps, also can a space be filled with air be electrically insulated ground loop G1 and these sensing signal line 31,32,41,42, these transmission signal lines 31a, 32a, 41a, 42a, upper conductive film 12 and lower conductive film 22.
When last transparency carrier 10 is subjected to the external force touch-control, for example with finger or electronic pen (stylus) when pushing, have electrical contact between two conducting films 12 and 22, and generation voltage, by sensing signal line 31,32,41,42 sensing signals, transfer to touching control panel controller by transmission signal line 31a, 32a, 41a, 42a again.
In the present invention owing to have ground loop, so when display system is operated, static discharge on the contact panel will be conducted to the earth terminal of external circuit, for example the earth terminal of the earth terminal of the earth terminal of touching control panel controller, flat-panel screens or electronic installation.Therefore, static discharge just can not remove to damage electronic package in the touching control panel controller via transmission line.
As shown in Figure 6, in display system 120, display module for example is that a LCD assembly 117 is electrically coupled to touch panel 11, wherein touch panel has a viewing area (active area), and have a viewing area (display area) on the display module, and the position on the active area can be corresponding with the position on the viewing area.For instance, pointed or electronic pen (stylus) when touching, between two conducting films 12,22, can be produced electrically contact when last transparency carrier 10. Sensing signal line 31,32,41,42 can be by transmission signal line 31a, 32a, 41a, 42a, and transmission current signal and/or voltage signal are to touch panel controller 113 (as shown in Figure 6).By existing conventional art, signal is obtained the position of touching thus.
Because this ground loop; display system with this touch panel; can static discharge be released into the earth terminal of an outside by touch panel; for example the earth terminal of a flat-panel screens or an electronic installation can not damaged by static discharge with the touch panel controller in the protection electronic package.
Though foregoing of the present invention is made example with the four-wire type contact panel, also be applicable to five-line, six line formulas or eight line formula touch panels.
In sum, in touch panel of the present invention, ground loop centers on these sensing signal line, and is electrically insulated with these signal line, upper and lower conducting film, and is electrically connected to the earth terminal of an outside.So, the electronic package in the touching control panel controller then can not be subjected to the damage of electrostatic discharge from contact panel.That is to say, strengthened the electro-static discharge protective ability of electronic package in the touching control panel controller.
Fig. 7 roughly represents an electronic installation 130, uses to have one of aforementioned touch panel 11 display system 132.Electronic installation 130 can be a portable apparatus, for example PDA, mobile computer, flat computer (tablet computer), mobile phone or display equipment or the like.In general, electronic installation 130 comprises that a shell 138, has display system 1 32, an assembly controller 134 and user's interface 136 of this touch panel 11 or the like.In addition, this earth conductor (be exactly ground loop G1) is total be coupled to the earth terminal (chassis ground) of electronic installation.
Moreover touch panel of the present invention can place electronic installation, and as user's input media, and unconformability is the part of display system.For instance, touch panel of the present invention can be used in the electronic installation, as an input media independently, the for example backing plate (pads) of a writing or drawing, dull and stereotyped (tablets), or need the input media of other patterns such as the user contacts, electronic pen input, or as a part of peripheral unit of relatively large electronic installation, or be electrically coupled to the peripheral unit of another electronic installation, for example a computer installation or machine.
Touch panel of the present invention as mentioned above is connected to a LCD display system, yet the present invention can also be used in the display system of other pattern, for example makes one of electricity consumption slurry display module or cathode-ray tube display assembly display system.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to restriction the present invention, anyly has the knack of this skill person, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; change and retouching when doing, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking accompanying the claim person of defining.
