[ field of technology ]
The present disclosure relates to pressure sensing devices, and particularly to a pressure input device and a method for manufacturing the same.
[ background Art ]
Consumer products, such as mobile phones, mobile navigation systems, mobile gaming devices, and mobile media players, are looking for new input methods. A touch device commonly used today is a sensing device that receives an input signal by touching. The ideal touch device is capable of sensing not only touch position but also touch pressure, which provides an additional degree of freedom for touch input and accommodates different input methods such as stylus, finger, and glove-donned finger. Therefore, touch sensing technology that simultaneously implements pressure and position has been developed and has received wide attention from the industry. The technology is prepared by using indium tin oxide (ITO for short) material through a yellow light process. However, since the yellow light process is complicated in manufacturing process and high in equipment cost, meanwhile, the ITO material is large in brittleness, indium is an expensive rare metal, the storage amount in nature is relatively small, the cost is relatively high, and the indium tin oxide serving as a detection electrode of the touch device greatly improves the manufacturing cost, so that the whole manufacturing cost of the touch device is high, and the development of industry is restrained to a certain extent. In addition, the following problems also exist in using an ITO thin film as a conductive film for touch control: (1) As the resistance and application size become larger, the current transmission speed between the electrodes becomes slower, resulting in a slower corresponding speed (time from finger contact with the fingertip to detection of the position); (2) When pressure is applied to the conductive film formed by ITO, only single-layer deformation occurs, the resistance change rate is small, and the pressure sensing precision is poor.
In summary, finding a new solution to solve the disadvantages of ITO, such as high price, complex process, and poor damage resistance, has become an effort in the industry.

[ detailed description ] of the invention
For the purpose of making the technical solution and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples of implementation. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a schematic cross-sectional structure of a nano silver wire thin film structure 110 is shown, a nano silver wire thin film 1105 is disposed on a first substrate 1107, the nano silver wire thin film 1105 includes a plurality of nano silver wires 1101 embedded in a matrix 1103, and the nano silver wires 1101 are arranged in the matrix 1103 and overlap with each other to form a conductive network. The matrix 1103 refers to a solution containing nano silver wires 1101, which is disposed on a first substrate 1107 by a coating method, etc., and is heated and dried to volatilize volatile substances, so that the volatile substances remain on the non-nano silver wires 1101 on the first substrate 1107. The nano-silver wires 1101 are interspersed or embedded therein to form a conductive network, with portions of the nano-silver wires 1101 protruding from the matrix 1103 material. The nano silver wire 1101 forms a nano silver wire film 1105 by virtue of a matrix 1103, and the matrix 1103 can protect the nano silver wire 1101 from external environments such as corrosion, abrasion and the like.
Wherein the nano-silver wire 1101 (silver nano wires, SNW for short) has a wire length of 10 μm to 300 μm, preferably 20 μm to 100 μm, and most preferably has a length of 20 μm to 50 μm, the nano-silver wire 1001 has a wire diameter (or wire width) of less than 500nm or less than 200nm,100nm, preferably less than 50nm, and an aspect ratio (ratio of wire length to wire diameter) of more than 10, preferably more than 50, more preferably more than 100, more than 400, and more than 500. In addition, the nano silver wire 1101 can be silver plated on the surface of other conductive metal nano wires and the surface of non-conductive nano wires. The electrode structure formed by adopting the nano silver wire film 1105 has the following advantages: compared with ITO, the nano silver wire film 1105 has the advantages of low price, simple process, good flexibility, bending resistance and the like, and in addition, the nano silver wire film 1105 has large resistance change rate when being subjected to pressure, can be used for a pressure electrode of a pressure sensing input device, and can obtain better effect. The first substrate 1107 is typically a transparent insulating material, and the substrates described herein and below of the present invention may include, but are not limited to, 2D or 3D substrates, rigid substrates such as glass, tempered glass, sapphire glass, and the like; also flexible substrates such as PEEK (polyetheretherketone), PI (Polyimide), PET (polyethylene terephthalate ), PC (polycarbonate), PES (polyethylene glycol succinate, polyethylene succinate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PVC (Polyvinyl chloride ), PP (Polypropylene) and composites of any two thereof are possible. The transparent substrate may also be a polarizer or filter substrate.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic structural diagram of a nano silver wire pressure sensing input device according to the present invention is shown, but not limited thereto. When a user touches with a finger, the nano silver wire film 1105 will be slightly deformed, and the wire length of the nano silver wire film 1105 in the corresponding touch area will be changed (due to being pressed), so as to affect the equivalent resistance value of the nano silver wire film 1105. In addition, since the nano silver wire film 1105 is made of the nano silver wires 1101, when the nano silver wire film 1105 is pressed, besides physical deformation, the nano silver wires 1101 forming the nano silver wire film 1105 can be close to each other due to the action of pressure, so that the space positions among the nano silver wires 1101 are changed, the lap points are increased, and the change of resistance is caused, and the change of resistance is measured through a pressure sensing chip (not shown), so that the detection of the pressure is realized. Therefore, when the force of the touch is different, the nano silver wire film 1105 will generate different resistance changes. If the force of the touch is large, the resistance of the nano silver wire film 1105 has large variation; conversely, if the force of the touch is small, the resistance of the nano-silver wire film 1105 has a small variation. Therefore, by measuring the resistance change of the nano silver wire film 1105, the touch force can be determined.
Since the nano-silver wire film 1105 is generally made of the same material, an important parameter to be considered is the material selection of the nano-silver wire film 1105, namely the strain Factor (GF) of the material. The strain Factor (GF) of the material is calculated as follows:
GF=(ΔR/R)/(ΔL/L);
wherein R is the equivalent resistance of the conductive material when the conductive material is not touched, deltaR is the resistance variation of the conductive material after touched, L is the line length of the conductive material when the conductive material is not touched, deltaL is the line length variation of the conductive material after touched. In one embodiment, the strain factor GF of the conductive material is greater than 0.5 for better sensitivity for better detection of the magnitude of Δr.
Referring to fig. 4A-4B, a first embodiment of a pressure sensing input device 10 of the present invention is provided, and the pressure sensing input device includes a first substrate 11, a first conductive layer 13 disposed on a surface of the first substrate 11, and a pressure sensing chip 14. The conductive layer includes a plurality of first pressure sensing electrodes 131, and the pressure sensing chip 14 is electrically connected to the first pressure sensing electrodes 131. The first substrate 11 may further include a plurality of first pressure sensing electrodes 131 arranged in an mxn equidistant matrix, which is illustrated herein by a small number of first pressure sensing electrodes 131.
The first pressure sensing electrode 131 is used for sensing the pressure, and the first pressure sensing electrode 131 is formed by a nano silver wire film. The nano silver wire film comprises nano silver wires and a matrix, when the nano silver wire film is pressed, the nano silver wire film deforms, the number of the lap points of the nano silver wires is increased, and the resistance change rate is increased. The strain factor of the first pressure sensing electrode is greater than 0.5.
The pressure sensing chip 14 detects the magnitude of the pressure by detecting the amount of resistance change generated by the first pressure sensing electrode 131 after receiving the pressure. The pressure sensing chip 14 is connected to the first pressure sensing electrode 131 through a plurality of first electrode connection wires 132. The material of the first electrode connection line 132 is not limited to ITO, but may be transparent nano silver wire, nano copper wire, graphene, polyaniline, PEDOT: PSS transparent conductive polymer material, carbon nanotube, graphene, or the like.
In some embodiments, the pressure sensing chip 14 may further include a wheatstone bridge circuit 141, where the wheatstone bridge circuit 141 amplifies the signal of the change of the resistance value of the first pressure sensing electrode 131, so that the pressure sensing chip 14 can more accurately detect the external pressure, and thus perform subsequent different control signal outputs.
The first conductive layer 13 has a refractive index of 1.3-2.5, more preferably 1.35-1.8, and a thickness of about 10nm-5 μm, preferably 20nm-3 μm, more preferably 50nm-200nm at Fang Zuxiao ohm/sq.
The light transmittance or clarity of the first conductive layer 13 may be quantitatively defined by the following parameters: light transmittance and haze. The light transmittance refers to the percentage of incident light transmitted through the medium, and the light transmittance of the first conductive layer 13 is at least 80%, and may be 90%, and may even be as high as 95% -97%. Haze is an index of light diffusion, haze is the percentage of the amount of light separated from the incident light and scattered during transmission, and haze is the appearance of cloudiness or turbidity due to light diffusion of the nano silver wire surface in the first conductive layer 13. The problem of haze of the screen can result in strong reflection of light from the screen in the case of outdoor scene light illumination, and in severe cases, can cause the user to see out of sight of the screen. In embodiments of the invention the haze may not exceed 3% and may even reach not more than 1.5%.
Preferably, the first pressure sensing electrode 131 is in the shape of an elongated wire having a line width of 3-500 μm, preferably 3-100 μm.
In this embodiment, the cross section of the first pressure sensing electrode 131 is rectangular, and the change of the resistance change Δr of the first pressure sensing electrode 131 after being touched mainly depends on the change Δl of the line length of the first pressure sensing electrode 131 after being touched. In other embodiments, when the first pressure sensing electrode 131 is formed in a square, oval or other irregular pattern having a small aspect ratio, the change in ΔR will depend primarily on the amount of deformation of the first pressure sensing electrode 131, rather than solely on ΔL.
In another embodiment modification, the first substrate 11 may be a protective cover (not shown) for acting as a protective cover of the first conductive layer 13, where the protective cover (not shown) has a first surface (not shown) and an oppositely disposed second surface (not shown), and the first conductive layer 13 is disposed on the second surface (not shown) of the protective cover (not shown), and the first surface (not shown) is used for a user to apply a touch action.

When a user applies a touch-pressing action to the protective cover 71, the force is transferred to the first pressure sensing electrode 721 in the first conductive layer 72 under the protective cover 71, causing deformation of the first pressure sensing electrode 721, thereby causing a resistance change, which is processed by the pressure sensing chip (not shown) to determine the magnitude of the pressure. In addition, when the user's finger approaches, capacitive coupling between the first touch sensing electrode 722 and the second touch sensing electrode 751 is affected, so that the corresponding position of the finger touch can be detected through the corresponding chip process.

Compared with the prior art that the induction electrode is prepared by adopting the ITO material, the ITO material can only realize single-layer deformation. In the present invention, when a user applies a touch-pressing action, after the action force is transferred to the first conductive layer, each corresponding pressure sensing electrode in the conductive layer generates a corresponding action, and the nano silver wire is correspondingly physically deformed. Specifically, when the nano silver wires are pressed, due to the action of pressure, the distance between the nano silver wires is close to each other, so that the space positions between the nano silver wires are changed, the overlapping points of the nano silver wires are increased, and the resistance is changed.
The change of the microcosmic space positions among the nano silver wires and the physical deformation jointly act to bring more remarkable resistance value change, and the pressure sensing chip in the pressure sensing input device processes signals, so that the position of the touch action and the touch force are calculated and obtained, different functional operations which can be realized by different touch force are further realized, and compared with the pressure sensing electrode prepared from other materials, the nano silver wire sensing electrode provided by the invention has better touch sensitivity.
Secondly, the pressure sensing film with the nano silver wires is provided with the pressure sensing electrodes and the touch sensing electrodes which are arranged in a coplanar mode, and the functions of pressure detection and touch position detection can be simultaneously realized in one nano silver wire pressure sensing film.

Third, the pressure sensing input device of the nano silver wire provided by the invention can comprise two or more conductive layers, wherein the conductive layers can comprise at least one of a pressure sensing electrode and a touch sensing electrode. The pressure sensing electrode and the touch sensing electrode (including the first touch sensing electrode and the second touch sensing electrode) are integrated in the same pressure sensing input device, and compared with the traditional structure of superposing the pressure sensing layer and the touch screen, the pressure sensing input device has the advantages of being thinner in thickness, better in light transmittance and the like. In addition, the pressure sensing electrode and the touch sensing electrode in the pressure sensing input device provided by the invention adopt complementary non-overlapping shape design, so that the thickness of the pressure sensing input device is reduced, and the visibility effect of a display module arranged under the pressure sensing input device is improved. The pressure sensing input device can further comprise a protective layer or an optical matching layer, so that a pressure sensing film and a pressure touch control with better performance can be obtained according to requirements.

According to the invention, the dark matter additive particles with the particle size of 50-500 nm are added into the nano silver wire solution for manufacturing the pressure sensing input device, and the light reflection of the nano silver wire in the nano silver wire pressure sensing input device can be effectively reduced and the visibility of the nano silver wire is reduced due to the addition of the dark matter additive particles.
One of the methods for manufacturing the nano silver wire pressure sensing input device provided by the invention is to directly form a pattern on the transparent insulating layer, and the transparent insulating layer can be removed from the substrate or reserved on the substrate according to the requirement. As distinguished from the features of the prior art in which a conductive micropattern must be formed on a substrate. Therefore, the material property requirement of the substrate is greatly reduced, and the required conductive micropattern can be formed by only coating the nano silver wire solution after the patterned grooves are transferred on the transparent insulating layer and then curing the nano silver wire solution, wherein the flexible substrate or the rigid substrate is adopted. In this regard, the material properties of the substrate are required to be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, the method for manufacturing the nano silver wire pressure sensing input device can also adopt an etching mode to prepare the conductive layer, wherein the etching can be divided into complete etching and non-complete etching, the complete etching refers to that other conductive materials except the conductive pattern are completely removed, and the etching method can lead to obvious chromatic aberration of an etching area and a non-etching area. Instead of etching completely refers to etching the region into a region isolated from the electrode structure region so that there is no contact between the conductive pattern and the non-conductive region, but the conductive material of the non-conductive region is not removed. Compared with complete etching, the non-complete etching can lead the electrode in the etching area to have smaller chromatic aberration with the electrode in the non-etching area, and the appearance effect of the product is better.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention, but any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. within the principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
