The illustrative embodiments of design according to the present invention, Fig. 1 shows the skeleton view of touch sensor assemblies, and Fig. 2 is the planimetric map of touch sensor assemblies, and Fig. 3 is the touch sensor film of touch sensor assemblies and the skeleton view of basal component.Referring to figs. 1 to Fig. 3, touch sensor assemblies 100 comprises basal component 110 and touch sensor film 120.
Basal component 110 comprises three-dimensional surface.Basal component 110 forms the main body of touch sensor assemblies 100.Basal component 110 is arranged on below the touch sensor film 120 that will be described later and supports this touch sensor film 120.The instance of the material of basal component 110 is acryl resin, thermoset resin etc.But embodiment is not limited thereto, and can use any material that can support touch sensor film 120, as long as this material is transparent.Therefore, touch sensor film 120 and substrate 110 are made up of transparent material, thereby the integral body of touch sensor assemblies 100 can be transparent.Such transparent touch sensor assembly 100 can be applied to electronic equipment.For example, transparent touch sensor assembly 100 can be installed on the side of electronic equipment, so that the user can the operation transparent button, just, can operate touch sensor assemblies 110.Touch sensor assemblies 100 can help the outside of electronic equipment to seem graceful.
Wherein, except flat surfaces, three-dimensional surface can comprise the surface of any kind, for example curved surface, recessed curved surface, protrude curved surface, have the surface of different level etc.
Touch sensor film 120 is embedded on the three-dimensional surface of basal component.Touch sensor film has the transparency conducting layer 122 that is used for the electrostatic capacitance change that sensing causes by the external touch incident, and it is processed by CNT.CNT (CNT) is that wherein Graphene (grapene) is with several nano materials of reeling to the diameter of hundreds of nanometers, and the carbon atom in the Graphene makes up with the hexagon honeycomb pattern.When on such CNT has plastics or the film of thin conductive layer, forming, they show high transmittance and high conductivity in visible region, so the carbon nanotube conducting layer can be used as transparency electrode.
The transparency conducting layer 122 that is made up of CNT has higher flexibility of the transparency conducting layer that constitutes than ITO (tin indium oxide) and higher permanance.Therefore, even touch sensor film 120 bends on the three-dimensional surface that is embedded in basal component 110 time, thermal deformation also can take place in touch sensor film 120 hardly.And this transparency conducting layer can not have crackle (crack) and can be certain shape according to the design transformation of manufacturer.
In addition; Because touch sensor assemblies 100 forms transparency conducting layer 122 through utilizing CNT; So for making the expensive device that touch sensor assemblies 100 need not be used for vacuum covering, chemical etching etc., thereby manufacturing process can be simplified, this causes having high economic feasibility.
The touch sensor film 120 of touch sensor assemblies 100 can be through forming with given shape and specific unit length cutting.For example, touch sensor film 120 is arranged on the length of rule on 1 square metre the zone.And preparation has the blade (blade) of given shape so that touch sensor film 120 can be according to the design of manufacturer cutting, thereby and a plurality of blade accomplish blade assembly with the identical distance setting.Then, on a side of touch sensor film, apply power through blade assembly fast, and touch sensor film is squeezed.That is, behind the touch sensor film 120 that forms 1m, touch sensor film receives the power extruding that blade assembly applies fast, and wherein blade is provided with the interval of 10cm.Then, touch sensor film 120 can be cut into 10cm by blade assembly and have regular length and identical shaped.It is possible making touch sensor film with said method, because the transparency conducting layer of touch sensor film is made up of CNT, and therefore touch sensor film can not break in cutting technique.
Wherein, touch sensor film 120 can comprise basalis 121, above-mentioned transparency conducting layer 122 and at least one power supply terminal 123.Especially, with reference to figure 3, basalis 121 is made up of the insulating material of ductility.A surface attachment of basalis 121 is to the three-dimensional surface of basilar memebrane 110, and transparency conducting layer 122 is formed on other surfaces of basalis 121.Material such as clear PET film with excellent transmissivity and ductility can be as the materials of basalis 121.
Power supply terminal 123 is electrically connected on the transparency conducting layer 122 and to it power is provided.Power supply terminal 123 can be made up of Cu, Al etc.At this moment, Cu and Al can be through adhering with epoxy resin to transparency conducting layers 122.Another instance of power supply terminal 123 is Ag slurry (silver slurry, Ag paste).With above different, power supply terminal 123 can be made up of the conductive, transparent polymkeric substance.The instance of conductive, transparent polymkeric substance can be any in polythiophene, polypyrrole, polyamine and the polyacetylene.Therefore, when from visual observation, power supply terminal 123 is transparent, and it is transparent to make that whole touch sensor film can look like.
Power supply terminal 123 can be arranged on the corner of the touch sensor film that the user touches hardly.(not shown) when touch sensor assemblies 100 is installed on the electronic equipment, power supply terminal 123 is electrically connected to the power supply unit of electronic equipment, and the covering of power supply terminal 123 usefulness electronic equipment casings, thereby can be to outer exposed.
When the user is providing when touching transparency conducting layer 122 under the state of power to the touch sensor film with said structure 120 through power supply terminal 123, the electrostatic capacitance change that transparency conducting layer 122 is caused by touch event through sensing confirms whether the user has touched certain zone of touch sensor assemblies 100.
The tradition touch sensor normally smooth and for crooked sensitive for damages, therefore be difficult to touch sensor is attached on the three-dimensional surface.Yet because touch sensor film 120 can be formed on the three-dimensional surface, this is because the transparency conducting layer of touch sensor film 122 is made up of CNT.
Wherein, touch sensor film 120 can have at least one groove 124 with transparency conducting layer 124 is divided into a plurality of parts (zone, section).Groove 124 is formed on the transparency conducting layer 122 with rule or irregular interval.The instance that on transparency conducting layer 122, forms the method for groove 124 is a dry chemical etch.Dry chemical etch is the technology of utilizing through the reaction of laser beam or gaseous plasma, and is called as dry ecthing because not using the chemical reagent that uses in the wet etching.
The groove 124 that forms like this is divided into a plurality of parts with a transparency conducting layer 122.As shown in Figure 3, three grooves 124 are formed on the touch-sensing film 120, make transparency conducting layer 122 can be divided into four parts (A, B, C, D), and therefore part (A, B, C, D) is not electrically connected each other.At this moment, power supply terminal needs to make each electrically conducting transparent layer segment be provided electric current one to one corresponding to the electrically conducting transparent layer segment each.
Fig. 4 schematically shows and in touch sensor film 120, discerns the touch event with user.As shown in Figure 4, when the user touches part through finger touch A,, adjacent B can not sense this touch event in touching partly.
Wherein, basal component 110 can comprise any in character, image and the pattern, and wherein character, image and pattern are separately corresponding in the electrically conducting transparent layer segment each.Because touch sensor film 120 is made up of transparent material, so the user can be identified in character, image and the pattern that forms on the basal component 110 through this transparent touch sensor film 120.The image that on basal component 110, illustrates can be " return 111a, continue 111b, go to groove 124111c, opening/closing power supply 111d ", and it can change according to the design of manufacturer.When the user is touching any one part among part A, B, C, the D, which order he can discern will be input in the electronic equipment.
Wherein, touch sensor film 120 can form integral body through the in-mould injection method with basal component 110.The in-mould injection method will be described with reference to figure 3 and Fig. 5.
At first, touch sensor film 120 based on electrostatic capacitance is provided.This touch sensor film 120 has the transparency conducting layer 122 that is made up of CNT.Then, touch sensor film 120 is attached in the cavity of injection moulding machine.Here; To adhere to above that and form a plurality of holes on the cavity inner wall of touch sensor film 120; And these apertures are connected to air suction pump (air inhalation pump) by path, so that touch sensor film 120 can adhere on this cavity through operation air suction pump.In this process, touch sensor film 120 converts into for should be in the case of bending 120b shown in Figure 5 of the inner surface configuration of cavity from flat condition 120a shown in Figure 3.Here, touch sensor film 120 can not split or thermal deformation can not take place, because the transparency conducting layer of touch sensor film 120 is made up of CNT.
Then, with evacuated mould and core die combination, so that cavity inside is with respect to outside seal.At last, basal component is injected into molten resin and forms basal component in the cavity through being arranged on hole (it does not have touch sensor film 120) on the cavity, so that basal component 110 can form integral body with touch sensor film 120.
In the touch sensor assemblies 100 that above method is made; Touch sensor film 120 is combined to form with basal component 110; Therefore; Touch sensor film 120 can not held with basal component owing to external force in 110 minutes, and can be firmly adhered on the basal component 110, thereby this manufacturing process is than bringing the method for combination touch sensor film and existing basal component more to simplify through applying adhesion or double faced adhesive tape.
The illustrative embodiments of design according to the present invention; Touch sensor assemblies 200 comprises touch sensor film 220; It comprises basalis 121, transparency conducting layer 222, light-emitting component 225, at least one first power supply terminal 223 and at least one second source terminal 226, shown in Fig. 6 and 7.
