Technical field
The present invention relates to the touch-control field, particularly relate to a kind of individual layer multiple spot capacitance touch screen.
Background technology
Contact panel is also referred to as touch-screen, be widely used in the electronic product miscellaneous, such as GPS (GPS), mobile phone (cellular phone) and the multiple information processing terminal (ATM, mobile communication terminal) etc., to replace traditional input media, as keyboard and mouse.
At present, adopt vacuum evaporation or magnetron sputtering mode that transparent conductive material tin indium oxide (ITO) is coated on usually and form transparent conductive body on PET or the glass substrate to be applied to capacitance touch screen.Common touch panel component comprises one or more layers emission/sensing signal electrode usually, the substrate of a slice support electrode, shield assemblies and have another plate bases of scratch resistance, anti-dazzle, anti-fingerprint/water, antireflection etc. is made this type of contact panel and need be made good component joint to two together respectively.Can make the thickness of contact panel thicker if use the substrate contain the multilayer sensing electrode to add the manufacture of two-layer substrate that another sheet has shield assemblies and have a substrate of scratch resistance, anti-dazzle, anti-fingerprint/water, antireflection etc., and owing to comprise multilayer sensing electrode substrate and need to combine after the layering manufacturing, complex manufacturing increases the cementing agent cost that makes up between substrate and the substrate.
The induction electrode of conventional monolayers multiple spot capacitance touch screen and drive electrode are over against area and the distance the same size of value almost, cause the induction electrode of contact conductor terminal away from the non-visible area in top to be electrically connected to the contact conductor terminal by relatively long lead-in wire like this, because the ITO lead resistance is bigger, each induction electrode is also different to top lead terminal row's resistance value R, cause each induction electrode to discharge and recharge time t ≈ RC (wherein, C is electric capacity between induction electrode and drive electrode) inconsistent, make poor-performings such as sensitivity of touch screen.

Discharge and recharge time t ≈ RC as can be known by the induction electrode unit, the performance difference that the electrode unit R increase that causes owing to the increase of contact conductor length for balanced each row induction electrode unit causes, can make the induction electrode unit discharge and recharge the balance that time t ≈ RC tries one's best by the size that changes C, thereby obtain more satisfactory even performance.
Please refer to Fig. 1, the public electrode unit 140 and the induction electrode unit 150 that are arranged on the substrate 130 are to be made by transparent conductive material, and thickness is generally 100~500 Ethylmercurichlorendimides.According to the electricity rule, after electrifying electrodes, can form an electric field between two electrodes when two, the side of electrode also is the little electric field of an equivalence.The side of two electrodes also constitutes a plane-parallel capacitor, and according to computing formula C=(ε the S)/d of parallel plate capacitor, wherein, ε: medium specific inductive capacity between pole plate, S: pole plate is over against area, d: polar plate spacing; Want to change the size of C, can realize by adjusting S or d, maybe can be by adjusting S simultaneously and d realizes.
Thus, the main design of the individual layer multiple spot capacitance touch screen of present embodiment is: by changing the size of induction electrode unit, reach the purpose of adjusting S and d simultaneously, and then change the size of C, make each induction electrode unit discharge and recharge the balance that time t ≈ RC tries one's best.
Please refer to Fig. 2, show the schematic diagram of the electrod-array of individual layer multiple spot capacitance touch screen that can balanced each electrode charge and discharge time.
The visible area of this individual layer multiple spot capacitance touch screen is provided with two row electrodes, can certainly be multiple row, and this sentences two and classifies example as and describe.Each row electrode comprises first electrode 210 and a plurality of second electrode unit 220 that places first electrode, 210 1 sides and be arranged in order of a strip, and each second electrode unit 220 is drawn from the bottom of visible area downwards by contact conductor 230 independently.On the direction that contact conductor 230 is drawn, namely among Fig. 2 on the downward direction shown in the arrow X, each second electrode unit, 220 size increases gradually.Like this, from top to bottom, the spacing d of each second electrode unit and first electrode 210 progressively reduces, i.e. d1 among Fig. 2〉d2〉d3〉d4; Meanwhile, 210 at each second electrode unit 220 and first electrode progressively increases over against area S.According to formula C=(ε S)/d, from top to bottom, S progressively increases, d progressively reduces, and therefore the C between each second electrode unit 220 and first electrode 210 progressively increases, and from top to bottom, contact conductor length and the resistance value R of each second electrode unit obviously reduce gradually, therefore, according to t ≈ RC, the time that discharges and recharges of each second electrode unit is comparatively balanced.
Need point out that among Fig. 2, from top to bottom, each second electrode unit 220 progressively increases over against area S with 210 at first electrode, respectively the spacing d of second electrode unit and first electrode 210 progressively reduces.This spacing d also can be a definite value, and according to formula C=(ε S)/d, C also progressively increases.In addition, be appreciated that contact conductor 230 also can upwards draw from the top of visible area, at this moment, then from the bottom to top, each second electrode unit, 220 size increases gradually, and is just opposite when also namely drawing downwards with contact conductor 230.
In addition, among Fig. 2, the contact conductor of a plurality of second electrode units 220 draw the direction unanimity.Also can be that draw at the make progress top of visible area of the contact conductor of part second electrode unit 220, the contact conductor of a part of second electrode unit 220 be upwards drawn from the bottom of visible area in addition.Particularly, each row electrode is divided into upper and lower two subregions, and the contact conductor of second electrode unit in the last subregion is all drawn from the top of visible area, and on the direction from the bottom to top, each second electrode unit, 220 size increases gradually; The contact conductor of second electrode unit is all drawn from the bottom of visible area in the following subregion, and on the direction from top to bottom, each second electrode unit, 220 size increases gradually.In other words, size that we can say second electrode unit 220 increases from the middle to both ends successively.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2, second electrode unit, 220 positions in the plural electrode array are corresponding and to form multirow second electrode also be sensing electrode, with second electrode unit, 220 shapes in delegation's sensing electrode and measure-alike.Can guarantee the time that the discharges and recharges unanimity of second electrode unit of each row so better, make touch-screen obtain more preferably evenly performance.
