As described above, since mouse roller is a kind of mechanical moving element, long-time service is easily broken down.In addition,
Traditional mouse roller usually has a larger size, thus this mouse roller be dfficult to apply to Ultrathin mouse (such as based on
The mouse of photoelectric sensor) in.In with the mouse of touch panel and the combination substitution mouse roller of touch sensor, touch surface
The touch-surface of plate is plane.In this way, the frictional force that user will be only capable of experiencing touch-surface and bring when touching.For
For the skilled user using the mouse with mouse roller, user's body will be influenced by being not felt by the rotation of mouse roller
Test.
The touch panel available for mouse that embodiment of the disclosure is proposed solves the above problem at least in part.Under
Kept man of a noblewoman selects the schematic perspective view for reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, wherein figure 1 illustrating touch panel 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure,
Fig. 2 shows the schematic sectional view of the touch panel 100 shown in Fig. 1.
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, generally, touch panel 100 described here includes substrate 1 and at least one protrusion
2.Substrate 1 has first surface 101 and the second surface 102 opposite with first surface 101.At least one protrusion 2 is by cloth
Put on the first surface 101 of substrate 1 and set along the direction W vertical with the predetermined touch direction L of touch panel 100.
It is at least one prominent when user touches touch panel 100 along predetermined touch direction L using this configuration
The rotating tactual illusion of roller (haptic illusion) can be brought to user by playing portion 2, that is, roller can be provided a user
Rotation sense.It is at least one prominent in the case where this touch panel 100 to be applied in the electronic equipment of such as mouse etc
Playing portion 2 can bring to user similar to the experience for rotating mouse roller.In this way, touch panel 100 is in user's body proved recipe
Face provides good compatibility, and avoids cognitive load of the increase user during using input equipment.
Touch panel 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to various equipment.For example, touch panel 100 can
Be integrated into the input equipment of mouse etc, or such as intelligent watch, HMD (head-mounted display) and bracelet etc can
In wearable device.At this time, finger is slided on touch panel 100 along predetermined touch direction L, operated content can be controlled,
Such as make its rolling or movement, etc..
As shown in Figure 1, in certain embodiments, touch panel 100 can include being arranged at least along predetermined touch direction L
First group of rib 201 on one protrusion 2.First group of rib 201 can be arranged in whole at least one protrusion 2 or
On person part protrusion 2.Spacing between first group of rib 201 can be identical or different.By at least one protrusion 2
First group of rib 201 of upper arrangement, the contact area that can be reduced at least between a protrusion 2 and the finger of user, so as to subtract
Small frictional force between them.In this manner it is possible to further enhance the roller rotation sense provided a user.
In certain embodiments, touch panel 100 further includes the first surface that substrate 1 is arranged in along predetermined touch direction L
Second group of rib 103 on 101.Second group of rib 103 can be aligned with first group of rib 201, this is not necessary certainly
Set.By arranging second group of rib 103 on the first surface 101 of substrate 1, can reduce the first surface 101 of substrate 1 with
Contact area between the finger of user, so as to reduce frictional force therebetween.In this manner it is possible to the so that finger of user
The more easily slip on the first surface 101 of substrate 1.
In certain embodiments, substrate 1 and at least one protrusion 2 can use metal material or other conductive materials,
Or polymeric material or other non-conducting materials are integrally formed.In further embodiments, substrate 1 and at least one protrusion
2 can utilize identical or different material separately formed, and then for example can be by adhesive by least one protrusion 2
