The rim area DA of contact panel 10 defines first area D1 and second area D2 further, and second area D2 is around this first area D1, and this first area D1 is contiguous this active region AA of second area D2 comparatively.In the present embodiment, this first area D1 is for laying many cablings 174 arranged in parallel, and this second area D2 is for laying electrostatic protection line 175.
Many the corresponding first area D1 of cabling 174 is arranged at substrate 171 surface.Many cabling 174 interval first interval S, and each cabling 174 all has the first width L.
In present embodiment, cabling 174 is the cabling of double-deck different materials, and the material of this two-layer wiring is divided into tin indium oxide (Indiumtinoxide, ITO) and copper (Cu).Change ground, the silver-colored pulp material that cabling 174 also can be individual layer is formed.These many cablings 174 respectively with the plurality of touch control electrode 173 and drive module 110 to be electrically connected, in the plurality of touch control electrode 173 and drive between module 110 and transmit touching signals.
The corresponding second area D2 of electrostatic protection line 175 and this many cablings 174 are arranged at the surface of substrate 171 with layer; and be electrically connected with the earth terminal of contact panel 10 external circuit or the earth terminal of driving circuit 110; conducting to earth terminal for being led off by the electrostatic charge entering the second electrode lay 170, preventing electrostatic charge from transferring to cabling 174 and touch control electrode 173.In the present embodiment, this electrostatic protection line 175 is arranged on the periphery of these many cablings 174, and with this many cablings 174 parallel arranged, and the second width y of this electrostatic protection line 175 is greater than the first width L of this cabling 174, is beneficial to the conduction of electric charge.
Further, definition electrostatic protection line 175 is the second spacing z apart from the minor increment of these many cablings 174, and definition electrostatic protection line 175 is the 3rd spacing x apart from the minor increment of the outward flange 171a of substrate 171.In the present embodiment; second spacing z is less than the second width y; be not less than the first width L of these many cablings 174 and the half of the first interval S sum simultaneously; i.e. z >=(L+S)/2; preferably to ensure that electrostatic charge all conducts from electrostatic protection line 175, prevent electrostatic charge from transferring to cabling 174 and touch control electrode 173.
Insulation course 172 directly covers the plurality of touch control electrode 173, many cablings 174, electrostatic protection line 175 and substrates 171, and the thickness of insulation course 172 is less than 100 μm.
First operator guards 120 is arranged at the surface of insulation course corresponding to rim area DA 172, and part first operator guards 120 is to should arrange and comprise a staircase structure, the corresponding second area D2 of part first operator guards 120 by first area D1.First operator guards 120 is also used as electrostatic protection.
First operator guards 120 comprises the first protective wire 121 and the second protective wire 122.
First protective wire 121 is to being arranged at the surface of this insulation course 172 by first area D1 and second area D2, and the first protective wire 121 is electrically connected, as leading transmission electrostatic charge off with earth terminal.First protective wire 121 has a breach 121a at the corresponding first area D1 in the side of this insulation course 172 contiguous, thus makes the thickness of the first protective wire 121 corresponding first area D1 be less than the thickness of the corresponding second area D2 of the first protective wire 121.
Preferably, the thickness of the corresponding second area D2 of the first protective wire 121 is not more than 20 μm, and the height of this breach 121a is not more than 5 μm, and that is the thickness of the corresponding first area D1 of the first protective wire 121 is not more than 15 μm.Because the integral thickness of the first protective wire 121 is not more than 20 μm, while therefore the setting of the first protective wire 121 more effectively can lead transmission electrostatic charge off, the integral thickness of the second electrode lay 170 can't be made to affect greatly.In addition; when the thickness of breach 121a remains on below 5 μm; it can not affect greatly the electric conductivity of the first protective wire 121; effectively can also change the charge transfer path of the first protective wire 121 simultaneously, namely make the first protective wire 121 away from insulation course 172 side received by electric charge guide to the side of the contact insulation layer 172 with breach 121a.
First protective wire 121 has the 3rd width a, and the outward flange 171a of the first protective wire 121 outer and substrate 171 has the 4th spacing m.Preferably; 3rd width a is greater than the second width y of electrostatic protection line 175; and the 4th spacing m be less than the 3rd spacing x, thus make the first protective wire 121 compared with electrostatic protection line 175 more close to the outward flange 171a of substrate, make outside electrostatic charge first can enter the first protective wire 121.In addition; first protective wire 121 covers electrostatic protection line 175 on substrate 171 thickness direction; thus make the conductive capability of the first protective wire 121 be greater than the conductive capability of electrostatic protection line 175; most of electrostatic charge is transmitted in the first protective wire 121, to prevent electrostatic protection line 175 damaged.
In present embodiment, the first protective wire 121 entirety is trapezium structure, and change ground, the first protective wire 121 can entirety be also rectangle or square structure.First protective wire 121 is conductor and has the first impedance R1, and its material can select silver-colored pulp material.
The corresponding first area D1 of second protective wire 122 is arranged at insulation course 172 surface, and has the 4th width b, and wherein, the 4th width b is less than the 3rd width a.Part second protective wire 122 is filled in breach 121a; and the part not being filled in breach 121a extends the 5th width h with cover part cabling 174 from this first protective wire 121 to the direction of contiguous the plurality of touch control electrode 173, thus corresponding first area, insulation course 172 side D1 electrostatic charge directly can not conduct to cabling 174 through insulation course 172.Change ground, the second protective wire 122 also can all be filled in breach 121a.
The side of the contiguous outward flange 171a of the second protective wire 122 and electrostatic protection line 175 have the 5th spacing r away from the side of outward flange 171a on vertical substrate 171 thickness direction; 5th spacing r is not more than the half of the second spacing z; make the second protective wire 122 comparatively cabling 174 more close to electrostatic protection line 175; to prevent electrostatic charge from transferring to cabling 174 with more having, reach effect of protection cabling 174.
In present embodiment, the thickness of the second protective wire 122 is identical with the height of breach 121a, is all not more than 5 μm.In addition, the material of the second protective wire 122 can be conductive material, such as ITO or development.Wherein, when the material of the second protective wire 122 is conductive material, the second protective wire 122 has the second impedance R2.
Second impedance R2 of the second protective wire 122 is greater than the first impedance R1 of the first protective wire 121; that is; the conductive capability of the first protective wire 121 is greater than the conductive capability of the second protective wire 122; thus; second protective wire 122 engages indentation 121a; the electrostatic charge entering the first protective wire 121 can not be transmitted from breach 121a direction, but concentration of transmissions is to the first protective wire 121 corresponding to second area D2, to form protection to cabling 174.
In the present embodiment, when the second impedance R2 of the second protective wire 122 is more than 100 times of the first impedance R1 of the first protective wire 121, can preferably prevent the electrostatic charge entering the first protective wire 121 from transferring to cabling corresponding to first area D1 174.
Change ground, the second protective wire 122 also can be insulating material, and it can be the material identical with insulation course 172, and accordingly, the second protective wire 122 can complete in same processing procedure with insulation course 172.Be appreciated that its impedance is much larger than the impedance of the first protective wire 121 of conduction when the second protective wire 122 is for insulating material.
Compared to prior art; correspondence is provided with the first area D1 of these many cablings 174; to should the second protective wire 122 of many cablings 174 embed in the breach 121a of the bottom of the first protective wire 121; again because the conductive capability of the second protective wire 122 is less than the conductive capability of the first protective wire 121; therefore; when exterior static enters in contact panel 10; static guiding can carry out leading transmission off to the direction away from cabling 174 by the first protective wire 121, thus prevents electrostatic charge from directly transferring to cabling 174 and touch control electrode 173.
Further; owing to being also provided with electrostatic protection line 175 further outside cabling 174; therefore; when outside a large amount of electrostatic charge enters in contact panel 10; electrostatic charge can also directly be led off to electrostatic protection line 175 place by the first protective wire 121, thus more effectively prevents electrostatic charge from transferring to cabling 174.
In addition, the first operator guards 120 part covers cabling 174, and therefore, and the partial width not covering cabling 174 is less, thus ensures that rim area DA width is less, adapts to the narrow frame demand of contact panel 10.
It should be noted that, the structure of the first electrode layer 150 is substantially identical with the structure shown in Fig. 4, and this instructions repeats no more.Be appreciated that the touch control electrode (not shown) included by the first electrode layer 150 and the touch control electrode 173 included by the second electrode lay 170 form touch-control structure TE jointly.
