The structure of the LED module of the touch panel of the present invention is for operating various functions by a user manipulating the touch sensor of the touch sensor assay 110 outside the vehicle regardless of the presence or absence of a smart key, and a trigger signal generator And smart key controller and touch panel controller.

The trigger signal generator serves to generate a signal for waking up the touch panel. Such a trigger signal generator may use a door handle switch that is mounted on a door handle and generates a trigger signal by a user's contact.

The smart key controller serves to generate a wake-up request signal when a trigger signal is generated from the trigger signal generator.

When a wake-up request signal generated from the smart key controller is received, the touch panel controller wakes up a touch panel for inputting a specific function from outside the vehicle.

Such a touch panel controller turns off the illumination LED 141 of the touch sensor assay 110 when the trigger signal does not occur or the vehicle function is not input within a predetermined time period when the trigger signal is generated. Since the lighting is deactivated, the presence or absence of the touch sensor assay 110 is not known.

In addition to the battery charging status display icon symbol for displaying status information, it directly displays the icon symbol indicating various other functions.

When the user selects the keypad icon symbol while the icon symbol for each function is displayed as described above, the keypad is displayed. Subsequently, the authentication process is performed using a method of entering a password or pattern, etc., and if authentication is normally performed, the touch panel controller recognizes the function icon symbol manipulated by the user, and then interlocks with the vehicle control device accordingly. Thus, the function is quickly performed.

In other words, compared to the method of controlling the vehicle function by using the existing touch panel to change the mode and select a specific function, it is possible to conveniently input a function without changing the mode with only one operation of the direct icon symbol, and manipulate the corresponding function. It provides the convenience to quickly perform function control according to the requirements.

Here, if the user manipulates (touches) the battery charging information display icon symbol in a state where authentication is normally performed, the battery charging status information is obtained through interworking with the battery management system (BMS), and the plurality of lenses according to the charging status -The lighting LED 141 of -A(180a) indicates a charging state that increases to 10%, 20%, 30% depending on the number of sequentially turned on, and when all 9 lens-A(180a) lights are'on' Represents a 90-100% charged state.

At this time, when charging is in progress, the lens-A 180a is divided into a'flashing' state, and when charging is completed, the corresponding lens-A 180a is classified into a'lit' state, so that the charging state of the battery can be easily recognized.

On the other hand, if a trigger signal of the touch panel controller does not occur or a vehicle function is not input within a predetermined time in the wake-up state of the touch panel after the trigger signal is generated, the touch panel is turned off and the lens-A 180a ), the presence or absence of the touch sensor assay 110 is made unknown, thereby preventing other people from illegally using the user's vehicle.

In the present invention, the partition foam 120 installed between the touch sensor assay 110 and the partition 130 effectively presses each touch sensor of the touch sensor assay 110 to increase adhesion. Therefore, in particular, when installed on the inner surface of the information input unit 160 to which the curved surface is applied, the adhesion between the curved surface of the information input unit 160 and the touch sensor assay 110 is increased, thereby improving the touch feeling.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the information input unit 160 forms the LED lighting activation unit 165 to have a step h of a predetermined depth from the surface, so that the user can easily determine the location even when the LED lighting is not activated. It is desirable to be configured to do so.

In addition, the LED lighting activation unit 165 may be configured in a preferable planar shape such that a step h of a predetermined depth is provided on the same surface as the information input unit 160.

For example, when the information input unit 160 has a curved shape, the LED lighting activating unit 165 may have the same curved shape, or may have different upper and lower tapered shapes.

The inflow of moisture can be effectively prevented by maintaining the airtightness with the upright wall portion 151 by 213) 223.

In addition, the cable hole 211 is provided with an open end to facilitate insertion of the cable 230 between a pair of support feet 214 protruding from one side of the rubber block lower 210 to a predetermined length. The rubber block upper 220 is provided with an information input unit 221 on one side of the rubber block upper 220 that presses one side of the cable 230 while blocking the opening of the support foot 214.

Then, the installation state of the cable 230 connected to the PCB substrate 140 in the form of a'L' can be maintained very firmly.
