Abstract
Fine particles are spray between the two transparent touch sensitive overlay panels to form a insulative gasket.
Description
Present invention relates in general to be placed on touch in quick coating (TSO) assembly adjacent and generally be the preparation of the small size particles pad between parallel each layer, thereby prevent each interlayer contact, unless add resemble finger by pressure, to obtain such contact consciously in the position that can survey.
There is a large amount of instruments using now, wherein various operations are by applying external force, for example the user press...withes one's finger and finishes, that between two adjacent and flexible layers that distance of separation is very little, obtain optics with this or electrically contact, therefore produce signal, these signals of telecommunication are further handled with the circuit that adds again.These examples comprise that elevator floor selection knob, some terminal and the quick coating that touches that occurs recently shield, and this screen makes the data of user's energy operation store in computer of computer monitor.
When touching quick coating (TSO) assembly and use with computer monitor, its working method requires light to pass a plurality of hyaline layers, thereby make the user can the data of operation store in computer, in the TSO assembly, obtaining adjacent photic zone by the non-interference technique of optics, is that the interval of conductive layer becomes more and more important sometimes.Just as such from what Fig. 1 and 2 saw, a kind of method is to provide non-conductive projection of small plastic or cusp between adjacent pressure sensitive conductive layer, thereby conductive layer is separated.The projection of this plastic spacer distributes in even mode usually, and is visible, therefore, is noisy for the user.The example of this method appears at United States Patent (USP) 4,423, and in No. 299, this patent is presented to people such as (Gurol) ancient sieve in nineteen eighty-three, and exercise question is " touching quick transparent switch display ".
As very general imagination, even to the very near wall of opaque distance, the touch sensitive keyboard panel that illuminates from the user is for example guaranteed to conduct electricity in a predefined manner or nonconducting separation is sought after.
Therefore, need a kind of address this problem simple, cheap method promptly will be separated two each normally parallel layers with preset distance, and don't eliminate and to cause that with external force each surface is adjacent to each other, thereby obtain the convenience of the position the determined contact between each face.When each layer to be separated be the conduction the time, the separation between them must be nonconducting.
Therefore, purpose of the present invention provides easy use and cheap method, makes the very near separately predetermined small distance of parallel surface that is actually of two adjacent distances.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of method, makes two conductive surfaces of the optical clear adjacent layer in the TSO assembly realize non-conductive separation.
The 3rd purpose of the present invention is that two two adjacent layers in the TSO assembly are adjacent, and the separation of a predetermined small distance is realized on normally parallel surface.The predetermined pressure that is applied in TSO assembly one side by the user will realize two confirmable contacts in the position between the adjacently situated surfaces like this.
The 4th purpose of the present invention is, provide a kind of optics non-interference technique, separate two adjacent close proximity, the separation of normally parallel displaced surface shows the signal that applies the position at pressure so that the controllable pressure that is applied by the user can produce in coupling circuit.
It will of course be appreciated that " optical clear " is a term, it is comprising " translucent " and " partially transparent and part are opaque ", be actual be again temporary transient (for example, when comprising liquid crystal display).
Above-mentioned and other purpose of the present invention are to realize that by the fine particle that deposition in two adjacently situated surfaces of two adjacent layers is fit to material this deposition is to carry out with predetermined zone density with in predetermined particle size range.For the ease of using, particulate material is the optics external interference preferably, has chemical inertness, and cheap material.The suitable material that meets this requirement is the brown aluminium oxide particles, and this particle is easy to be sprayed on the finished surface with the state that is suspended in the water.Therefore, when adjacently situated surfaces and when putting, after the particle random distribution, water evaporates is fallen, and this makes two surfaces separated with less preset distance, and this distance characterizes with the maximum in the above-mentioned particle.The pressure that the user is added on the layer with one of separated surface can make the contact between adjacently situated surfaces take place on any one side of particle, very thin film to conduction in these surfaces or the preferred embodiment is not had adverse influence, wherein conductive film can vacuum moulding machine on flexible surface.Being suspended in glass bead in the chloride solution of alkaline-earth metal also can provide satisfactorily and separate.Spray to the non-interference fine particle of lip-deep optics and stick on this surface, after the suitable random distribution of these fine particles, carrier fluid all evaporates in each case, thereby after this is being positioned between the adjacent conductive layer.Although the true cause that causes fine particle desirable adhesion to occur on the surface that it sprayed is also not exclusively understood, but can think, this adhesion is because little or molecule bonding force, resembles Robert Van de Walle (the Van der weal) power known to everybody.Like this, particle does not rely on two to separate the appropriate location that is distributed to that particle is kept to another surface pressing in one of surface.It is believed that fluid carrier also is used for avoiding and prevent that Robert Van de Walle power from playing a role between particle.Like this, just provide adhering to by the needed random distribution of the particle on the sprayed surface.
Fig. 1 is the Typical Planar figure of the TSO assembly of ordinary flat, and by the visible round dot pattern of facing of hyaline layer, it is illustrated in the plastic spacer between the very little layer in two intervals among the figure, and here, very little at interval layer has the adjacently situated surfaces of conduction.
Fig. 2 is the vertical cross section of the same general T SO assembly of Fig. 1, and this figure demonstrates wherein included numerous layers.
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of common spray equipment, and suspended particles and liquid carrier materials are sprayed onto on a certain surface from this device.
Fig. 4 represents to have the enlarged diagram of the particle of selection size range in a certain lip-deep random distribution.
Fig. 5 is the profile that the view of Fig. 4 is vertically analysed and observe, and it has represented two adjacently situated surfaces, be deposited between them than the relative both sides of being randomly dispersed in of macroparticle the time contact separate.
In institute's drawings attached, for the ease of reference elsewhere, identical number is used for representing the part in same parts or the parts.
Below description mainly concentrate at adjacent interval very little actual again be the use of the non-conductive fine particle pad between the parallel surface, and obtain on the satisfied method that distributes of this particle for this reason.In most preferred embodiment, there are the conductive strips of selected orientation on the surface that is spaced, and under external force, electrically contacting between the conductive strips is possible.Fig. 1 is the plane graph of the TSO panel 11 that is generally rectangle of ordinary flat, and TSO dull and stereotyped 11 links to each other with decoder circuit 14 with 13 by its one group of lead 12 all around, and decoder circuit 14 is connected probably with for easy unillustrated computer.
Those skilled in the art can find out, with very little at interval other relevant geometries of release surface, for example, garden cylindricality or spherical shape also are feasible, sometimes or even need.As pointed here, this surface general or its concrete geometry of using, never influence the validity of this invention.
Under external force, for example, can determine contact point by means of nib or user's finger, touch sensitive panel not necessarily needs conductive surface.Use is based on light-Fu Shi operation, but promptly do not utilize the example of touch sensitive panel of the contact surface of conduction can be at the United States Patent (USP) 4 that belongs to Ka Sidai (Kasday), 484, find in No. 179, exercise question is " a contact position sensing surface " and open communique (Technical Disclosure Bulltins) the 24th volume the 6th of technology of the IBM that publishes in November, 1981 is interim, exercise question is " the optics coating entering apparatus that is used for cathode ray tube ", on the 26th the 6th phase of volume of publishing November nineteen eighty-three, exercise question is for also finding in " optical keyboard device and technology ".This touch sensitive panel of two types, but promptly use and do not use the major requirement of the adjacent contact surface of conduction to be, the normal separation that keeps adjacently situated surfaces, till they make their contacts under external force, secondly be by the signal that produces owing to such contact is handled to establish the position of contact point.Those skilled in the art will be readily appreciated that this adjacently situated surfaces needs not be flat, simultaneously on chosen position even one or two surface is arranged can be opaque.But these can change according to exercise question.Just as described herein, no matter thereafter so as to the mode of generation, transmission and processing signals how, the present invention will be used for such adjacently situated surfaces with being spaced apart of being scheduled to.Very clear, if conductive surface in fact by this little particle or globule by actual separation, just as point out here and require like that, so, this particle and globule must be nonconducting.Here the situation of the most preferred embodiment of being discussed is the separated situation of conductive surface; Yet those skilled in the art readily understands that the present invention has very wide range of application.
Fig. 2 is Fig. 1 panel vertical cross section that dissects along the vertical panel direction.
The typical TSO panel of general type, just as such what Fig. 2 saw, it comprises that top flexible optical hyaline layer 15,15 has external upper 16 and lower surface 17.Adhering to conductive film 18 on lower surface 17, conductive film 18 generally is that conductive film 18 lower surfaces are 19 by the conductive metal film of predetermined pattern deposition.Look applicable cases, can find, metal oxide, metal mixture, or metal and metal oxide are the materials that people wish to be used for making this conduction predetermined pattern.Also have the second optical clear flexible layer 20,20 generally to be parallel to layer 15, it has upper surface 22, lower surface 21.It preferably also is method with metal vacuum deposition, the predetermined pattern that will have the electric conducting material 23 of upper surface 24 is added on the surface 24, just as shown in Figure 2, guarantee that two conductive surfaces 19 and 24 predetermined commonsense method of separating provide the predetermined pattern (can well see clearly at Fig. 1) of non-conductive projection as shown in figure 25.As shown in Figure 2, be that these projectioies 25 of substrate are actually with the surface 19 of last conductive film 18 and contact with lower floor 20.In some common TSO panels, below layer 20, also have other one deck 32, it generally is nonconducting, when layer 20 was placed facing to the general transparent back dull and stereotyped 30 that last top surface 31 is arranged, layer 32 was used for preventing the formation of Newton's ring.
Fig. 3 has schematically described by common spray equipment 51, the application of the hydrojet 55 by nozzle 52 ejection, and the result makes particle 53 bigger in predetermined particle size range and is deposited on than small-particle 54 on the upper surface of optical clear layer 20.Those skilled in the art will be appreciated that: when such assembly directly is placed in before the optical monitor of computer, in order to allow the operator must see that the panel back is that what ground can make the satisfied work of this TSO panel, deposition of conductive metals layer 18 and 23 generally is extremely thin, may have only several atomic thickness.On so thin thickness, use the metal of highly conductive, as vacuum moulding machine mode with known type, deposited gold on it, then conductive layer is too thin, to such an extent as to be mapped to the most of transmissive of light on the hyaline layer that is positioned under this sedimentary deposit.
In particle ejection and after carrier material dries subsequently, the second layer of particle covering surfaces and the predetermined pattern that conductive strips are also arranged and putting then.By suitable selection particle in the size range of regulation, although might guarantee those mutually very close to conductive surface keep a certain amount of separation usually, this amount is that the size by the maximum particle that contacts with two adjacently situated surfaces is simultaneously determined.It is found that like that just as discussed above in case particle is deposited on the surface, from then on they just do not move.Certainly should be appreciated that also that preferably maximum particle is contact simultaneously between adjacently situated surfaces, then stick on the surface that they are sprayed onto at first than small-particle.This point is seen the most clearly in Fig. 5, and Fig. 5 dissects Surface Vertical shown in Figure 4 and obtains.Be easy to from Fig. 5 see that maximum particle is how to contact with lower floor similar conductive surface 24 with the conductive surface 19 on upper strata, is dispersed in than in the middle of the macroparticle than small-particle.
The user who external partial power is added in (see figure 2) on the surface 16 will make layer 15 inside deflection near layer 20.If applied pressure is enough big, although there is particle 53 and 54 to exist in little gap, conductive surface 19 also will produce local the contact with conductive surface 24, thereby constitute the part of external circuit, and produce the useful signal indication of an afterburning position usually.Test shows that the particle of size in the 3-50 micrometer range do not produce any injurious effects on conductive layer 18 and 23, flexible optical hyaline layer 15 and 20 is not caused any loss yet.In addition, it is found that with regard to practical, size can not with the naked eye be seen in the TSO assembly less than 100 microns brown aluminium oxide.
Having found that, is that every square of inch has 300～1000 particles to the desirable density of the distribution of particles of size in the 3-50 micrometer range.Every square of inch has when being less than 300～1000 particles, then might occur between the conductive surface being interrupted and irregular short circuit.For the situation of its distribution density greater than 1000 particles of every square of inch, then electrically contact in order to obtain the part, need to use high starting pressure.Those skilled in the art can understand at once: control by the predetermined density to the distribution of particles of known dimensions scope, can adjust the starting pressure for the TSO panel.Therefore, for this element, this point becomes useful design factor.
As mentioned above,, proved already in predetermined distribution density and predetermined size range, and can utilize fine particle to separate two optical clear conductive surfaces most effectively by experimental study, and in long-term the use without any harmful effect.In addition, as noted earlier, those skilled in the art can find, for concrete application, preferably utilize white alumina, little bead, or other similarly has the particle of chemical inertness and stability, these particles also have an intrinsic advantage to be: on the temperature of typical computer equipment and monitor work or higher temperature, these particles are actually stable.
The spray deposited of the suspended substance of fine particle and carrying object is available common manual sparger type coating apparatus, more precisely, also available a kind of complexity and economically viable method are promptly finished with the computer control of general type or the spray equipment of mechanization.
Can find out obviously that from noted earlier the present invention can implement by special narration and disclosed another kind of mode here, but also can be used in the nonconducting situation of separated contact surface with same effect.Therefore, under the situation that does not depart from the scope of the invention, also can make amendment to specific embodiment disclosed herein, these modifications have been included in the following claim scope.
