As shown in Figure 8, in other embodiments, the transparent feel photopolymer resin forming this dry film 500 is positive type photosensitive matrix.That is, illumination place is dissolved in developer solution.Before dry film 500 is exposed, also comprise the step of the diaphragm 530 removing conductive layer 520 surface.Then adopt and carry out according to the shape of the second electrode the mask board to explosure selected.Because illumination place is dissolved in developer solution, so when will retain the figure of the second electrode, the mask board to explosure with the second electrode shape complementation should be adopted.In the present embodiment, reaction depth can be regulated by adjustment exposure energy, thus reduce the drafting department retained and the difference in height of background portion being dissolved in developer solution, avoid pattern to be not easy by identification.
In the process expose dry film 500, exposure wavelength is 300nm ~ 400nm, and exposure energy is 10mJ/cm
2~ 500mJ/cm
2.In the process that dry film after overexposure is developed, adopt massfraction be 0.1% ~ 10% weak base salt solution develop.Weak base salt can be sal tartari, sodium carbonate etc.
Then, dry film 500 is cured, makes transparent bonding layer 510 form described matrix 301.
The mode of heat curing or UV solidification can be adopted: when adopting heat curing mode to solidify, the temperature of heat curing is 80 DEG C ~ 150 DEG C, admittedly the roasting time is 10min ~ 60min.When adopting the solidification of UV curing mode, it is 200mJ/cm that UV solidifies energy
2~ 2000mJ/cm
2.Transparent feel photopolymer resin has photosensitive property when being in fluid state or semi-cured state, does not have photosensitive property when transparent feel photopolymer resin is in solid state.
Conductive layer 520 after solidification and transparent bonding layer 510 are the second conductive layer 300 as shown in Figure 1 and matrix 301.
Further, also comprise the step of formation first conductive trace 212 and the second conductive trace 312, the first conductive trace 212 is electrically connected with the first electrode 210, and the second conductive trace 312 is electrically connected with the second electrode 310.
