Detailed Description
In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings and appended detailed description.
Before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, the conventional nanowire touch layer and the haze problem thereof will be described first.
The mass production of the nano-silver wire touch layer will be described below as an example. Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a conventional nano-silver wire touch layer, referring to fig. 1 and 11, in which a first substrate layer is shown, a nano-silver wire film layer 12 is shown with a touch array pattern with a X, Y direction staggered horizontally and vertically, and nano-silver wires 121 and 13 are included in the nano-silver wire film layer 12, and a second substrate layer is shown. In fig. 1, a parallel light is incident on the nano silver wire touch layer, and factors such as secondary refraction and reflection are not considered. The nano silver wire has a diameter of about 20 to 100nm, a length of about 20 to 70um, an aspect ratio of about 1000, and different lengths and different bending forms, so that a large amount of diffuse reflection is generated on the surface of the nano silver wire, and the parallel light in fig. 1 enters the touch layer for example, and the surface of the nano silver wire generates a large amount of diffuse reflection, so that the direction of emergent light is disordered, namely, the surface of the nano silver film layer shows a high haze.
In practical applications, the touch layer is not limited to the nano silver wire touch layer, and similar high haze problems can occur in touch layers containing some other nano metal wires.
For the problem of high haze of the nano metal wire touch layer, some solutions may be adopted, for example, a layer of high reflection or low reflection film is added on the basis of the nano metal wire touch layer, but this way can additionally increase the thickness of the touch layer, and influence the flexible bending and transmittance of the touch layer. There is also a method of roughening the surface of the nanowire, but there is no way to effectively control the surface roughening degree and amount of the nanowire according to the current physical or chemical preparation method of the nanowire.
In summary, for the existing nanowire touch layer, the preparation method thereof and the touch device in the embodiment of the invention are provided, so as to solve the problem that the existing nanowire touch layer has larger haze and is easy to cause a user to see a screen out of sight.

Example two
Fig. 6 is a step flowchart of a method for manufacturing a touch layer according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 6, the method for manufacturing a touch layer according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 601: and adding a high refractive index polymer into the nanowire ink to form a nanowire mixed solution.
In this step, the nanowire ink is a nanowire suspension formed by adding a common solvent to the nanowire, wherein the common solvent may be deionized water, alcohols (such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol), benzenes (such as toluene), etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
A high refractive index polymer 222, such as polybrominated phenyl methacrylate, may be added to the nanowire ink to form a nanowire mixture.
Optionally, before or after this step, the method may further comprise the steps of: at least one of metal oxide nanoparticles, high atomic number monomers, and high atomic number polymers is added to the nanowire ink. The metal oxide nano particles, the high atomic number monomer and the high atomic number polymer can improve the conduction rate of the nano metal wire, so that the touch sensing capability of the touch layer can be improved.
Step 602: and coating the nanowire mixed solution on a second substrate layer to form a nanowire coating.
In an alternative implementation of the present invention, referring to fig. 7, the prepared nanowire mixture may be coated on the second substrate layer 23, thereby forming the nanowire coating 01. The mode of coating the nanowire mixture is not limited to roll coating, slit coating, spin coating, spraying, and the like, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited thereto.
In a second alternative implementation, referring to fig. 8, the present step may specifically include the following steps: forming a plurality of second microstructures 231 on the second substrate layer 23 by pressing the second pressing plate; coating the nanowire mixture on the second substrate layer 23 to form a nanowire coating 01 including a plurality of second light-condensing structures 224; the second light collecting structure 224 matches the shape of the second microstructure 231.
Wherein the second platen includes a plurality of microstructures that match the shape of the second microstructures 231. Referring to fig. 8, for example, the second microstructure 231 may be a hemispherical concave structure, and accordingly, the microstructure on the second platen may be a hemispherical convex structure matching the shape of the hemispherical concave structure. In a specific application, the second substrate layer 23 may be laminated by a second platen, where a surface of the second platen on which the first platen structure is formed contacts the second substrate layer 23, so that a plurality of second microstructures 231 may be formed on the second substrate layer 23. Optionally, the second substrate layer 23 formed with the plurality of second microstructures 231 may be further subjected to a curing process to accelerate the shaping of the second microstructures 231. Then, referring to fig. 9, the prepared nanowire mixture may be coated on the second substrate layer 23 formed with the plurality of second microstructures 231 to form a nanowire coating 01 including the plurality of second light collecting structures 224.
Further alternatively, the surface of the first platen structure may be subjected to specular highlight in advance, so that the surface of the second microstructure 231 may be smoother, and further diffuse reflection of the touch layer may be reduced. In practical application, the first pressing plate structure on the second pressing plate can be manufactured through nano etching and other processes, and the manufacturing process of the first pressing plate structure is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the invention.
That is, in one implementation, the second microstructure 231 is not formed on the second substrate layer 23, and accordingly, the second light condensing structure 224 is not formed on the lower surface of the nanowire coating 01. In the second implementation, the second substrate layer 23 is formed with a second microstructure 231, and correspondingly, the lower surface of the nanowire coating 01 is also formed with a second light condensing structure 224.
By designing a three-dimensional light-gathering microstructure above or below the nanowire coating, the surface area and volume of the nanowire coating can be increased, the number of the nanowire which acts on the nanowire coating can be correspondingly increased, so that a touch layer electrode with stronger electric conduction capacity can be obtained, and the electric conduction capacity of the touch layer is improved.
In addition, in the embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the nano metal wire coating 01 is not required, and the required thickness can be formulated according to the expected purpose or the thickness.
Step 603: and curing the nanowire coating.
In this step, the nanowire coating 01 may be subjected to a curing process, wherein the manner of the curing process is not limited to UV (ultraviolet) curing, infrared curing, warming curing, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited thereto.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 10 or 11, this step may also be implemented by including: and forming a plurality of first light gathering structures 223 on the nanowire coating 01 through pressing by the first pressing plate 02, and curing the nanowire coating 01 in the pressing process of the first pressing plate 02.
In which fig. 12 shows a schematic view of a first platen 02, referring to fig. 12, the first platen 02 includes a plurality of second platen structures 021 that match the shape of the first light focusing structures 223. Referring to fig. 8, for example, the first light condensing structure 223 may be a hemispherical convex structure, and accordingly, the second pressing plate structure 021 on the second pressing plate 02 may be a hemispherical concave structure matching with the shape of the hemispherical convex structure. In a specific application, the first pressing plate 02 may be used to press the nanowire coating 01, where the surface of the second pressing plate 02 where the second pressing plate structure 021 is formed is in contact with the nanowire coating 01, so that a plurality of first light focusing structures 223 may be formed on the nanowire coating 01. The nanowire coating 01 may be subjected to a curing treatment, such as UV curing by using an ultraviolet lamp 03 shown in fig. 10, while being pressed by the first pressing plate 02, and after the curing is completed, the upper first pressing plate 02 is removed, as shown in fig. 13.
Further alternatively, the surface of the second pressing plate structure 021 may be subjected to specular highlight in advance, so that the surface of the first light focusing structure 223 may be smoother, and further diffuse reflection of the touch layer is reduced. In practical application, the second pressing plate structure on the first pressing plate can also be processed and manufactured through nano etching and other processes, so that the purpose of obtaining the three-dimensional structure layer with the light condensation function, namely the first light condensation structure is achieved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, fig. 10 shows a case where a light condensing structure is formed only on the upper surface of the nanowire coating, fig. 11 shows a case where light condensing structures are formed on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the nanowire coating, and of course, as shown in fig. 2, no light condensing structure may be provided on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the nanowire coating.
Step 604: and patterning the cured nanowire coating to form a nanowire film layer with a touch array pattern.
In the step, the cured nanowire coating can be subjected to patterning treatment to form a touch array pattern with transverse and longitudinal staggered X direction and Y direction on the cured nanowire coating, so that a nanowire film layer with the touch array pattern is obtained.
Optionally, a touch array pattern may be formed on the cured nano metal wire coating by a laser lithography technology, and the embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit a process for forming the touch array pattern.
Step 605: and forming a first substrate layer on the nano metal wire film layer to obtain the touch control layer.
In this step, the first substrate layer 21 may be formed on the nanowire film layer, thereby obtaining a touch layer, as shown in fig. 3 or 5.
In the case that the first light focusing structure is formed on the upper surface of the nanowire film layer, the first substrate layer 21 can fill up the gaps between the first light focusing structures under the action of gravity, so that a plurality of first microstructures 211 can be formed on one side of the first substrate layer 21, which is close to the nanowire film layer, that is, a shape similar to that of the second pressing plate structure of the first pressing plate 02 is formed.
