Background
With the development of economy and the progress of society, touch screen terminal equipment such as mobile phones and tablet computers are increasingly popular with people, and people can perform various entertainment activities such as chatting and watching through the touch screen terminal equipment. The touch screen is an important component of the touch screen terminal device, and mainly plays roles in displaying and realizing human-computer interaction, wherein the ogs (one glass solution) capacitive screen is more and more widely applied due to the advantages of high light transmittance, high reaction speed, long service life, low production cost and the like.
An OGS capacitive screen is formed by directly forming an ITO (Indium Tin Oxides, abbreviated as ITO, i.e., Indium Tin oxide) conductive film, a sensor, etc. on a protective glass, i.e., the protective glass plays a role in both touch sensor and protection, since the ITO conductive film needs to be electrically connected with an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit, abbreviated as FPC) in a touch screen terminal device, a gold finger electrically connected with the ITO conductive film, etc. needs to be arranged on the protective glass, and then the gold finger is connected with the FPC to electrically connect the ITO conductive film, etc. with the FPC, thereby implementing a touch function of the OGS capacitive screen.
In the production of the existing OGS capacitive screen, after the production of the ITO conductive film and the gold finger is completed, a blank layer is further required to be sprayed on the protective glass to blank the ITO conductive film and to form an OC photoresist protective layer by spraying an OC photoresist (also called as a protective layer photoresist) to protect the ITO conductive film and the gold finger, and in order to prevent the blank layer and the OC photoresist layer from covering the gold finger on the protective glass, a BPO photoresist material is firstly sprayed on the whole surface of the protective glass, and then the other parts of the glass except the gold finger are covered by an auxiliary mask, and then a BPO photoresist pattern covering the gold finger is obtained by development to protect the gold finger, and then after the blank layer and the OC photoresist layer are sprayed, the BPO photoresist pattern is removed by development and etching to expose the gold finger, but since the area of the gold finger only occupies one fifteenth of the glass area, after the BPO photoresist material is sprayed on the whole surface, the rest of the BPO photoresist which is not developed is shielded by the auxiliary photomask, which causes waste, and when the BPO photoresist pattern is obtained by developing, other positions of the protective glass need to be shielded by the auxiliary photomask, and the like, so that the process is troublesome and the practicability is not strong.
Wherein, regarding the BPO: BPO is a white fine-grained or powdery aqueous solid, a diacyl organic peroxide. The chemical name, Dibenzoyl peroxide (the english name is Dibenzoyl peroxide) and Benzoyl peroxide (Benzoyl peroxide), the common name is initiator BPO; the chemical formula is as follows: c14H10O4. Used as an initiator for polymerization reactions (such as polystyrene, polyacrylic), a curing agent for unsaturated resins, and a vulcanizing agent for silicone rubber. The BPO photoresist is a negative protective photoresist, specifically a photosensitive resin, like BM photoresist and OC photoresist.

Wherein, the parameters of the ink jet machine (i.e. the inkjet machine on the market) are set after the glass piece is placed on the ink jet platform, and the needed BPO pattern is directly jet-printed,
s3, placing the glass piece subjected to ink jet in an exposure machine, starting the exposure machine, and carrying out exposure operation;
specifically, in this embodiment, the exposure machine may be a common exposure apparatus in the market, which is not described herein.
And S4, placing the exposed glass piece in a developing device (the developing device is common in the market), starting the developing device, and carrying out developing operation, wherein the developing solution in the developing device can be a tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution (TMAH solution) with the concentration of 1.80-2.50%.
And S5, placing the developed glass piece in baking equipment, and starting the baking equipment to perform baking operation.
To sum up, as shown in fig. 4, the BPO photoresist sprayed on the gold finger 2 is exposed, developed, and baked to polymerize the BPO, and then the machine directly prints the required pattern to protect the gold finger 2, thereby saving the BPO photoresist and the production cost, and further avoiding using an auxiliary mask to cover other portions of the glass during exposure and development.
In the above, in the present embodiment, in step S2, in order to ensure the local BPO photoresist ink-jetting effect (e.g., uniformity) at the gold finger 2, it is preferable that the viscosity of the BPO photoresist in the ink-jet stage is 5-10cps (mpa · S), the spraying height of the ink-jet stage is 5-30mm (mm), the spraying speed of the ink-jet stage is 150-.
In the above, specifically, in the present embodiment, in step S3, on the premise of ensuring a better exposure effect, in order to save the exposure cost (reduce the exposure power as much as possible), the exposure energy of the exposure machine may be preferably 800 and 1000 mj/cm, and more preferably 900 mj/cm.
In the above, specifically, in the present embodiment, in step S3, the baking device may be a commercially available baking device, and in order to ensure a better baking effect and baking speed, the baking temperature of the baking device is preferably 120 ℃ to 140 ℃, and the baking time is preferably 3 min to 5min (minutes).
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, after step S5, the method may further include:
and S6, plating a silicon dioxide film layer 3 on the BPO photoresist ink-jet surface of the baked glass piece.
Specifically, for example, the BPO photoresist sprayed surface of the glass after baking is coated with the silicon dioxide film layer 3 by vacuum magnetron continuous plating deposition, and the silicon dioxide film layer 3 is used as a blanking layer, so that the blanking effect can be achieved, and the phenomenon that a user observes an ITO pattern in the protective glass 1 and experiences poor feeling when using the protective glass is avoided.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, after step S6, the method further includes:
s7, spraying OC light resistor on the silicon dioxide film layer 3.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, an OC photoresist is sprayed on the silicon dioxide film 3 to form an OC photoresist layer 4 covering the silicon dioxide film 3, and the OC photoresist layer 4 can protect the internal structure.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, after step S7, the method further includes:
s8, placing the glass piece after the OC process in a film stripping device for membrane stripping,
specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, although the BPO is covered by the silica and OC, the BPO coating is about 10-15um thick, which is much larger than the thickness of the OC layer (1.5-2 um) and the thickness of the silica (less than 1000A), and the stripping solution can dissolve the BPO from the side surface. Meanwhile, the silicon dioxide layer 3 and the OC photoresist layer 4 on the BPO photoresist pattern 5 will also fall off along with the peeling of the BPO photoresist pattern 5, thereby exposing the gold finger 2 covered and protected by the BPO photoresist pattern 5.

And in step S2, the number of nozzles is greater than 1000 (typically 1000-.
Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the cover glass 1 on the glass member is cut to a predetermined size to obtain a plurality of cover glasses 1 in which the gold fingers 2 are covered and protected by the BPO resist pattern 5, and the production efficiency is high.
The BPO photoresist ink-jet process provided by the invention can save BPO photoresist and save cost by directly spraying and printing the required pattern on the glass piece by adopting the ink-jet process, and in addition, as the BPO photoresist is only sprayed at the position of the golden finger 2, other parts of the protective glass do not need to be covered by using an auxiliary photomask during subsequent exposure and development, the production process is simpler, the production efficiency can be greatly improved, and the production time can be saved.
