Embodiment
Exemplary embodiment is more fully described below with reference to accompanying drawing;However, it is possible in different forms will be exemplary Embodiment embodies, and should not be considered limited to embodiment given here.
Hereinafter, the embodiment that those of ordinary skill in the art can easily implement is described in detail with reference to figure 1- Fig. 3 B.
Fig. 1 is the floor map according to the touch panel of an embodiment.
Referring to Fig. 1, the touch panel according to an embodiment is capacitive touch screen panel, and including:Transparency carrier 10th, multiple first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b and position sensing line 15 on the transparent substrate 10 are formed. Position sensing line 15 is electric by the externally connected driving of the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b by pad cell 20 Road.
First detection pattern 12a is formed as in screen using the transparent electrode material of such as tin indium oxide (ITO) etc It is connected to each other on long side direction.For example, when long side direction is vertical direction (Y direction), the first detection pattern 12a is formed as It is connected to each other on column direction in screen.First detection pattern 12a can be connected to the relevant position detection of each column unit Line 15.
When the long side direction of screen is horizontally oriented (X-direction), the first detection pattern 12a can be formed as in screen It is connected to each other on interior line direction.For convenience, it is assumed that the long side direction of screen is column direction.
First detection pattern 12a can be patterned as being connected to each other on the column direction of screen.First detection pattern 12a The pattern with separation can also be formed as.Therefore, the first detection pattern 12a being arranged in same row can be by separation Bridge pattern is connected to each other.
Second detection pattern 12b is similar with the first detection pattern 12a to be formed using transparent electrode material.Second detection pattern 12b is formed as connecting on the short side direction of screen.
When the short side direction of screen is horizontally oriented (X-direction), the second detection pattern 12b can be formed as in screen It is connected to each other on interior line direction.Second detection pattern 12b can be respectively connecting to the position sensing line 15 of each row unit.
Second detection pattern 12b can be patterned as being connected to each other on the line direction of screen.Second detection pattern 12b The pattern with separation can also be formed as.Therefore, arrange that the second detection pattern 12b in the same row can be by the bridge that separates Pattern connects.
In the present embodiment, by structure as description:Wherein the first detection pattern 12a is patterned as the row in screen It is connected to each other on direction, and the second detection pattern 12b is connected to each other by the bridge pattern 14 of separation.
When the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b are located in different layers, the first detection pattern 12a and Two detection pattern 12b can be patterned as respectively in a column direction be connected to each other on line direction.
Position sensing line 15 (does not show the first detection pattern 12a and the second externally connected drive circuits of detection pattern 12b Go out).External drive circuit can be the position sensing circuit by pad 20.
Position sensing line 15 can be arranged in the outside of the screen of display image.Except for forming the first detection pattern 12a Outside the second detection pattern 12b transparent material, position sensing line 15 can be by such as molybdenum (Mo), silver-colored (Ag), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), a variety of low electrical resistant materials of aluminium (Al), molybdenum/aluminium/molybdenum (Mo/Al/Mo) etc are made.Bridge pattern 14 can be by examining with position The identical material of survey line 15 is made up of identical technique.
When the contact object of such as human hand or touch rod etc contacts with above-mentioned touch panel, there are capacitance variations. The capacitance variations of contact position are sent to driving electricity from detection pattern 12a and 12b via position sensing line 15 and pad cell 20 Road (not shown).Capacitance variations are converted to electric signal by X input processing circuits and Y input processing circuit (not shown).So as to obtain Obtain contact position.
Touch panel can be formed in the separate substrates on image display device to be attached to.Touch panel also may be used To be formed in the separate substrates to be integrated with the display panel of image display device.
Touch panel can be formed on the upper substrate of organic electroluminescence display panel or liquid crystal display panel.Therefore, touch Touching panel plate can integrate with display panel.When display panel and touch panel integrate each other, can provide thin Image display device.
When the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b each pattern form and essentially identical size, screen The base electric capacity on base electric capacity and screen short side direction on long side direction is different from each other.Therefore, touch sensitivity possible deviation.
When performing touch input to touch panel, it is assumed that the change of electric capacity is produced by touched detection pattern.Cause This, touch electric capacity is Δ C, and the base electric capacity of detection pattern is Cnode before touch.Therefore, touch sensitivity is Δ C/ Cnode。
Base electric capacity is caused by structural issue.Base electric capacity has main component, such as positioned at touch panel Caused parasitic capacitance between other elements of the display panel of lower section.For example, parasitic capacitance can be by forming in organic light emission Cathode electrode on the preceding surface of display panel produces.Parasitic capacitance can also be by forming on the preceding surface of liquid crystal display panel Public electrode produce.Parasitic capacitance can also be produced by the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b.
Caused parasitism between ground signal line, the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b in display panel Electric capacity can also be the auxiliary element of base electric capacity.
Electric capacity is touched to realize that touch panel designs.Therefore, the average capacitance changed by caused touch event For detecting location.
Therefore, when base electric capacity is small and touch electric capacity is big, the touch sensitivity of touch panel improves.When the first detection figure When being connected to each other on the long side direction of screen, the first detection pattern 12a number ratio is connected to each other case 12a on short side direction The second detection pattern 12b number it is more.Therefore, the first detection pattern 12a base electric capacity is more than the second detection pattern 12b base Electric capacity.First detection pattern 12a touch electric capacity is identical with the second detection pattern 12b.On the whole, on screen long side direction Touch sensitivity is low, therefore the overall touch sensitivity of touch-screen is deteriorated.
In the present embodiment, in order to prevent touch sensitivity to be deteriorated, the first detection pattern 12a of reduction respective area, with Just the big base electric capacity on screen long side direction is reduced.In order to reduce on screen long side direction with the base electric capacity on short side direction it Difference, the second detection pattern 12b is designed as the area with increase.
The present embodiment is modified to the pattern form of detection pattern so that the first detection pattern 12a respective area is small In the second detection pattern 12b respective area.Modification to the pattern form of detection pattern reduce on screen long side direction with The difference of base electric capacity on short side direction.Therefore, the touch sensitivity of touch panel can be improved.
The example of first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b pattern form will be described with reference to figure 2A- Fig. 3 B.
Fig. 2A is the principal plane figure for showing the first detection pattern and the second detection pattern according to an embodiment.Fig. 2 B are figures The amplification view of 2A specific part.
As described by referring to Fig. 1, the first detection pattern 12a is patterned as on the column direction (Y direction) of screen It is connected to each other.Second detection pattern 12b is disposed on the line direction (X-direction) of screen, and in the short side direction of screen On line direction (X-direction) on be connected to each other.Second detection pattern 12b can be separated each other, and by bridge pattern 14 each other Connection.
Referring to Fig. 2A, the first detection pattern 12a be patterned as having from each side of polygon and be inwardly recessed (that is, with Recessed shape inwardly patterns) at least one recessed unit 12a1.
The second detection pattern 12b being adjacently positioned with the first detection pattern 12a is patterned as having from each of polygon At least one protuberance 12b1 on individual side outstanding (that is, outwards being patterned with protruding shape).
Second detection pattern 12b protuberance 12b1 has corresponding with the first detection pattern 12a recessed unit 12a1 Shape.Protuberance 12b1 is located in the space formed by recessed unit 12a1.
When the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b have identical diamond shape, the second detection pattern 12b area equally increases with protuberance 12b1 numbers.First detection pattern 12a area also with recessed unit 12a1 Number equally reduces.
Reduce with each first detection pattern 12a area, each passage on screen long side direction, i.e., on column direction Each passage at base electric capacity reduce, therefore touch sensitivity is improved.The first detection figure can be determined by testing The width and number of the case 12a recessed unit being inwardly formed from each side, to reduce base electric capacity in a range.The scope It must is fulfilled for the predetermined touch electric capacity needed for touch panel.
By the first detection pattern 12a of reduction area, the base electric capacity on screen long side direction reduces.Pass through increase second Detection pattern 12b area, the base electric capacity increase on screen short side direction.Therefore, screen long side direction can be accurately matched The size of base electric capacity upper and on short side direction.
Second detection pattern 12b is patterned as having from the outstanding protuberance 12b1 in each side of polygon.It is more Side shape can have diamond shape.As illustrated, the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b are close to each other arrangement.Cause This, can ensure to reduce difference not with the first detection pattern 12a area for increasing the second detection pattern 12b space of area It is more.
Second detection pattern 12b each protuberance 12b1 can be protruded with corresponding to each of the first detection pattern 12a The recessed unit 12a1 much the same area of area.The first detection pattern 12a recessed unit 12a1 being inwardly recessed area Area with the second detection pattern 12b outstanding protuberance can be approximately or substantially identical each other.
The present embodiment not limited to this.Second detection pattern 12b each protuberance 12b1 area can be less than the first inspection Mapping case 12a each recessed unit 12a1 area.In this case, the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b can be arranged more closely each other.
It is very big when having between the base electric capacity for having very big difference between the length of screen long side and the length of short side and being compensated During difference, the second detection pattern 12b each protuberance 12b1 area can be each recessed more than the first detection pattern 12a Unit 12a1 area.
When the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b pattern form change, screen long side direction (Y-axis side To) on can match each other with the base electric capacity on short side direction (X-direction).
Due to approximate or identical each other with the touch sensitivity on short side direction on screen long side direction, therefore position sensing In error be reduced and accuracy is improved.It is, therefore, possible to provide the touch screen panel with improved touch sensitivity Plate.
Self-driven capacitive touch screen panel applies voltage to each passage on screen long side direction and on short side direction Or electric current, and detect whether to generate touch event by curtage caused by measurement.The detection is by producing electricity The opening position of stream or voltage applies curtage and occurred.Therefore, the base electric capacity in all directions matches each other so that can be with Reduce the error in position sensing, and improve touch sensitivity.
The touch panel for being configured to have the detection pattern of above-mentioned shape is formed directly into or is attached to FPD On the upper substrate of panel.Panel display board can be organic electroluminescence display panel and liquid crystal display panel.
Bridge pattern 14 for the second detection pattern 12b to be connected to each other is made up of low resistive metal.Low resistive metal has There is opaque characteristic, so as to stop the light sent from panel display board.
The each pixel (not shown) formed on the viewing area of panel display board is arranged in the matrix form.Bridge pattern 14 It can be arranged in the horizontal direction as arranging pixel (not shown) on a display panel.When bridge pattern 14 a part with When the pixel formed in respective regions is completely overlapped, from the light that overlapping pixel is sent by bridge pattern blocks.Therefore produce dark Spot.
In order to overcome blackening, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 B, bridge pattern 14 is inclined by arranging, so as to minimize and pixel (not shown) it is overlapping.Pixel (not shown) is formed in the region corresponding with bridge pattern.Therefore, will not produce above-mentioned dark Spot.
In the present embodiment, bridge pattern 14 is neither be arranged vertically nor horizontally disposed, but arranged with slant pattern.
Bridge pattern 14 is formed on another layer by inserting insulating barrier between the second detection pattern 12b.Moreover, bridge Pattern 14 is formed that the second detection pattern 12b is electrically connected to each other by the contact hole 17 being formed in insulating barrier.
Insulating barrier can be by silica (SiO2) or silicon nitride (SiNx) be made, and with being different from transparent conductive material Refractive index.Transparent material can be used for forming insulating barrier and the first and second detection patterns.
The refractive index of silica is 1.5, and the refractive index of transparent conductive material (ITO) is 1.97.Therefore, therebetween Difference is very big.
Region between detection pattern 12a and 12b, i.e., do not form in the region of transparent conductive material, refractive index it Difference is apparent.Touch panel reflects and reflects the light sent from display panel and exterior light.Therefore, display device can Opinion property is deteriorated.
In order to overcome the problem, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2A, in the first detection pattern 12a adjacent to each other and second In region 16 between detection pattern 12b, multiple island shape dummy pattern 16a can be formed to prevent from exposing insulating barrier.
Now, dummy pattern 16a is with detection pattern 12a and 12b identical transparent conductive material by being made, and so doing can be with Prevent insulating barrier from exposing as before, produced so as to overcome by the refringence between transparent conductive material and insulating barrier Raw observability is deteriorated.
Fig. 3 A- Fig. 3 B are the views of the shape of the edge cells for the detection pattern for showing Fig. 2.
The problem of Fig. 3 A are shown when horizontally and vertically forming the edge of detection pattern.Fig. 3 B are shown according to an embodiment The detection pattern being tilted by a predetermined angle edge.
Referring to Fig. 3 A, be configured to have detection pattern 12a and 12b touch panel be formed directly into or be attached to it is flat On the upper substrate of plate display panel.Panel display board can be organic electroluminescence display panel and liquid crystal display panel.
Detection pattern 12a and 12b are formed in the region overlapping with multiple pixels 22.Multiple pixels 22 are provided at flat board In the pixel region of display panel.Because the resolution ratio of pixel 22 is very high, therefore some interference bars may be observed on screen Line.Pixel 22 is provided in the pixel region of panel display board.Interference fringe passes through display panel and touch screen panel in light The opening position of plate occurs.
Because display panel has high-resolution, the size and spacing of pixel 22 diminish.Therefore, sent from display panel What light was refracted or scattered at the detection pattern 12a and 12b of touch panel vertical edge 12c1 and horizontal edge 12c2 Possibility increases.
Fig. 3 A- Fig. 3 B show vertically and horizontally edge 12c1 and 12c2 with refraction or scattering.In Fig. 3 A- Fig. 3 B In, the vertically and horizontally edge 12c1 and 12c2 of detection pattern are corresponding with the recessed unit of the first detection pattern.However, detection The vertically and horizontally edge not limited to this of pattern.Also by the first detection pattern 12a and the second detection pattern 12b integral edge Vertical edge (parallel to Y-axis) or horizontal edge be described (parallel to X-axis).
Fig. 3 A- Fig. 3 B reference 16a is assigned to be formed between the first and second detection pattern 12a and 12b Multiple island shape dummy pattern 16a in region.With reference to figure 2A, the first and second detection pattern 12a and 12b are adjacent to each other.
As shown in fig. 3, each pixel 22 formed on display panel (not shown) is rectangle.Work as touch screen panel When plate is coupled on display panel, the vertically and horizontally edge of the pixel column of display panel and the detection pattern of touch panel The possibility that the specific locations of 12c1 and 12c2 in one line are met is very big.Therefore, detected from light caused by pixel 22 Generation interference fringe is refracted in the vertical and/or horizontal edge of pattern.
In the present embodiment, in order to overcome the interference fringe the problem of, by vertical/water of the detection pattern of touch panel Flat edge 12c1 and 12c2 is tilted by a predetermined angle α, so as to prevent the column (or row) of the pixel 22 of display panel to be arranged to and erect Directly/horizontal edge 12c1 is parallel with 12c2.Shown in Fig. 3 B the detection pattern of touch panel vertical/horizontal edge 12c1 and 12c2。
The edge 12c1 and 12c2 of detection pattern are inclined by predetermined angular to eliminate vertically or horizontally component.This inclination makes The number for obtaining pixel 22 overlapping on edge line minimizes, and minimizes the refraction of light and scattering.Therefore, can remove Harmful interference fringe.
Inclined angle alpha can not be vertical nor horizontal.However, unless problematic when operating touch sensor, Otherwise inclined angle alpha can be any angle.For example, by the axle offset of about 2-10 degree, observability can be reduced.
Optical interference and pattern between the detection pattern 12a and 12b of touch panel and the pixel 22 of display panel Spacing is closely related.For example, when the spacing of pixel 22 is the arbitrary integer time of detection pattern 12a and 12b spacing, display surface The pixel of plate and the detection pattern of touch panel repeat in identical opening position.Therefore, interference fringe produces, and may be Human eye is identified.Interference fringe may show visual optical rules, i.e. moire pattern.
In the present embodiment, by the line space design of pixel 22 for be not detection pattern 12a and 12b spacing arbitrary integer Times, so as to remove harmful interference fringe by the way that pixel and detection pattern are arranged as into random pattern.
However, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, dummy pattern has square shape.In this case, Dummy pattern 16a vertical/horizontal edge unit aligns (Fig. 3 A) with corresponding pixel 22, or dummy pattern 16a it is vertical/ The horizontal edge unit length overlapping with pixel becomes longer (Fig. 3 B).
In this case, as described above, can be by dummy pattern 16a vertical and/or water from light caused by pixel 22 Flat edge cells refraction, so as to produce interference fringe.
Therefore, in another embodiment, will describe to be optimized to the observability for improving the pixel corresponding with dummy pattern Dummy pattern structure.
