Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3, the touch-screen that an embodiment provides comprises substrate 10, barrier bed 20 and key legend induction electrode 30.
The material of substrate 10 can be tempered glass, sapphire, or can be the compound of one or more materials in the plastic materials such as PET/PC/PMMA.Substrate 10 comprises first surface 101 and relative second surface 102.First surface 101 is for carrying out touch control operation for user.The skin hardness of substrate 10 is not less than 3H (pencil hardness), to avoid easy scratch.
Substrate 10 comprises visible area 11 and is positioned at the non-visible area 12 of visible area 11 extension.Non-visible area 12 is positioned at least side of visible area 11, and in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, non-visible area 12 is positioned at the periphery of visible area 11, is also four Jun Youfei visible areas, side 12 of visible area 11.When in this touch-screen applications to the electronic equipment with display module, the information of display shown by module is observed by user by visible area 11.
Barrier bed 20 is arranged on the second surface 102 of substrate 10, and barrier bed 20 region forms the non-visible area 12 of substrate 10.
Barrier bed 20 can be obtained by second surface 102 printing ink layer at substrate 10.The non-visible area 12 of substrate 10, also namely barrier bed 20 is provided with corresponding touch controlled key region 13, and this touch controlled key region 13 comprises at least one key legend 130.Key legend 130 is formed by arranging perforation 21 on this barrier bed 20.As shown in Figure 3, the second surface 102 of substrate 10 is exposed in described perforation 21, and the region of perforation 21 then forms key legend 130.In certain embodiments, time in this touch-screen applications to the electronic equipments such as mobile phone, the light of backlight can pass this perforation 21, then key legend 130 is illuminated, with demonstrate can be observed obvious pattern image.
Key legend induction electrode 30 is arranged on the side away from substrate 10 of barrier bed 20, and described key legend induction electrode 30 is around described perforation 21 and do not cross the edge 201 of perforation 21.
Described key legend induction electrode 30 comprises drive electrode 31 and the emitting electrode 32 of cross arrangement.As shown in Figure 5, in certain embodiments, described drive electrode 31 and emitting electrode 32 extend to the visible area 11 of substrate 10.In the electronic equipment of touch-screen with these embodiments, the touch-control sensing electrode of touch-screen is not be arranged between the substrate 10 of touch-screen and display module, but integration is arranged in display module, the built-in type touch display screen yet namely alleged by industry.
Described key legend induction electrode 30 can be made up of the material being suitable as touch control electrode, such as, can be ITO conductive electrode, metal grill conductive electrode, graphene conductive electrode, carbon nanotube conducting electrode or conducting polymer conductive electrode.When adopting ITO conductive electrode, make key legend induction electrode 30 and can first form ITO electrically conductive layer, then acidproof typography is adopted, printing acid-proof ink film, then carry out etching and stripping, the final key legend induction electrode 30 forming patterning, or also can adopt exposure imaging technique, adopt dry film or photoresistance, after forming specific pattern after exposure imaging on dry film or photoresistance, then carry out etching and stripping.
By implementing the manipulations such as touch to the key legend induction electrode 30 at key legend 130 place, instruction can be assigned to this touch-screen, to complete corresponding operation.In other words, for the manipulation of this touch-screen, can reach by implementing the actions such as touch in the visible area 11 of substrate 10, also can be implemented the actions such as touch by the key legend 130 on the non-visible area 12 of substrate 10 and reach.Similar with the touch-control of the touch sensitive areas in visible area 11, the touch-control of key legend 130 also can realize several functions, such as, receive calls, hang up the telephone, menu setecting, menu return etc.
The utility model is by arranging key legend induction electrode 30 around key legend 130, and do not cross key legend 130 key legend induction electrode 30 is set, when key legend 130 can be made to be illuminated, the shade of key legend induction electrode 30 can not be produced, therefore promote the perception degree of electronic equipment.In addition, when this key legend induction electrode 30 is made up of easily broken materials such as ITO, also can avoiding need climb because of the layer difference of key legend 130 edge generation causes ITO to rupture, thus the touch-control performance of key legend induction electrode 30 is protected.
Please refer to the drawing 4, in one embodiment, this touch-screen also comprises the patterned layer 22 in the region being arranged on described perforation 21, and described patterned layer 22 blocks the second surface 102 of the substrate 10 exposed by described perforation 21 completely, and there is aberration between described patterned layer 22 and barrier bed 20.
Patterned layer 22 be equipped with again after can forming perforation 21 by barrier bed 20 there is corresponding pattern dry film again printing-ink form.Form aberration between patterned layer 22 and barrier bed 20, therefore the shape of patterned layer 22 forms described key legend, can be observed by user.Such as, patterned layer 22 can adopt the color different from barrier bed 20.In addition, in certain embodiments, the light transmission of this patterned layer 22 is better, can make the light of the backlight of electronic equipment at least part of through, thus facilitate user to observe this key legend 130.
Further, the thickness of described patterned layer 22 equals the thickness sum of induction electrode 30 and barrier bed 20.That is induction electrode 30 is positioned at same level away from the side of substrate 10 and described patterned layer 22 away from the side of substrate 10.This kind of setting can make other assemblies of this touch-screen and electronic equipment such as show module when fitting, and ensures sealing and the convenience of assembling, can prevent because of bore a hole 21 formation and produce unnecessary droplet, minute bubbles, to promote the perception of electronic equipment.
The utility model also correspondence provides a kind of electronic equipment, and this electronic equipment can be the electronic product such as mobile phone, PDA, panel computer with above-mentioned touch-screen.This electronic equipment comprises display module and backlight, and the visible area 11 of the substrate 10 of the corresponding touch-screen of display module, for electronic equipment provides the display of information.Described backlight is perforation 21 region of the barrier bed 20 of touch-screen, or simultaneously for perforation 21 region of the barrier bed 20 showing module and touch-screen provides light illumination.
Further, this electronic equipment comprises embedded touch control layer.Particularly, described display module comprises polaroid, colored filter, LCD Controlling structure and touch-control sensing electrode, and described touch-control sensing electrode is arranged between polaroid and colored filter, or described touch-control sensing electrode is arranged in LCD Controlling structure.In these embodiments, between the substrate 10 of touch-screen and display module, touch-control sensing electrode is not set.Further, in these embodiments, as shown in Figure 5, described key legend induction electrode 30 extends to the visible area 11 of substrate 10.This kind of setting has following effect: make touch-control sensing unit separately without the need to key legend induction electrode 30 region (being also touch controlled key region 13) in non-visible area 12, and directly key legend induction electrode 30 is extended to visible area 11, touch-control sensing region in electric connection visible area 11 and the touch controlled key region 13 of non-visible area, thus can be arranged on by being positioned at visible area 11 and integrating the button touch that the embedded touch layer showing module senses non-visible area 12, and without the need to making separately key legend sensing unit.Relative to Independent keys pattern sensing unit production program, this arranges because of without the need to going between separately by the electric signal transmission of non-visible area to control circuit, and therefore processing procedure is more simple, greatly reduces costs.
