Description
The present invention relates to a touch panel and a method of manufacturing the same.
With the development of computers using digital technology, auxiliary devices of computers are being developed together. Personal computers, portable transmission devices, and other personal information processing devices use various input devices such as a keyboard and a mouse And performs text and graphics processing.
However, as the use of computers is gradually increasing due to the rapid progress of the information society, there is a problem that it is difficult to efficiently operate a product by using only a keyboard and a mouse which are currently playing an input device. Therefore, there is an increasing need for a device that is simple and less error-prone, and that allows anyone to easily input information.
In addition, the technology related to the input device is shifting beyond the level that satisfies the general functions, such as high reliability, durability, innovation, design and processing related technology, etc. In order to achieve this purpose, As a possible input device, a touch screen has been developed.
The touch panel is provided on the display surface of a flat display device such as an electronic notebook, a liquid crystal display device (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), or an el (electroluminescence) and an image display device such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) And is a tool used to allow the user to select desired information while viewing the image display device.
The types of touch panel are resistive type, capacitive type, electro-magnetic type, SAW type, surface acoustic wave type, and infrared type. Separated by. These various types of touch panels are employed in electronic products in consideration of problems of signal amplification, differences in resolution, difficulty in design and processing technology, optical characteristics, electrical characteristics, mechanical characteristics, environmental characteristics, input characteristics, durability and economical efficiency Currently, the most widely used methods are resistive touch panels and capacitive touch panels.
On the other hand, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2010-0095989 discloses a method of manufacturing a conventional touch panel.
The above-mentioned patent discloses a method of forming a metal electrode layer on a substrate. As such, recently, researches on touch panels for forming electrode layers using metals having much higher electrical conductivity than indium tin oxide (ITO) have been actively conducted.
However, the touch panel in which the metal electrode is formed has a problem in that visibility of the touch panel is deteriorated because sparkling occurs in the electrode when the metal electrode is visually recognized or light is irradiated from the outside.
In addition, since a vacuum deposition method is generally used as a method of forming an electrode layer made of a metal on a substrate, expensive vacuum deposition equipment is required, which increases the manufacturing cost of the touch panel.
The present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, one aspect of the present invention is a metal electrode layer formed on the substrate is formed by a plating method, wherein the blackening layer is formed to include a touch panel and a manufacturing method thereof It is to provide.

In the touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the seed layer may be formed in a mesh pattern.
In the touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the seed layer is any one of poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene / polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT / PSS), polyaniline, polyacetylene or polyphenylenevinylene It may be made of a conductive polymer containing, or may be made of a metal oxide including Indum-Thin Oxide (ITO).
In the touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the metal catalyst layer may include palladium (Pd).
In the touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the metal layer may include nickel (Ni).
In the touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrode layer may include gold (Au).
In the touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the transparent substrate may be a window.
Method of manufacturing a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, (a) preparing a transparent substrate; (b) forming a seed layer on the transparent substrate; (c) forming a metal catalyst layer on the seed layer by electroless plating; (d) forming a metal layer on the metal catalyst layer by electroless plating; And (e) forming an electrode layer on the metal layer by an electroless plating method.
In the method of manufacturing a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the seed layer may be formed in a mesh pattern.
In the method of manufacturing a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the seed layer is poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene / polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT / PSS), polyaniline, polyacetylene or polyphenylenevinylene It may be made of a conductive polymer containing any one of, or may be made of a metal oxide including Indum-Thin Oxide (ITO).
In the method of manufacturing a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step (b), the seed layer forming material is completely coated on the transparent substrate and then etched, or the seed layer is meshed through a direct patterning process. It may be a step of forming a pattern.
In the method of manufacturing a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the metal catalyst layer may include palladium (Pd).
In the method of manufacturing a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, the metal layer may include nickel (Ni).

The features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description based on the accompanying drawings.
Prior to that, terms and words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed in a conventional and dictionary sense, and the inventor may properly define the concept of the term in order to best explain its invention It should be construed as meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention.
According to the present invention, the metal catalyst layer and the metal layer have a dark color to function as a blackening layer. Therefore, the electrode layer is prevented from shining even when light is radiated from the outside, thereby improving the visibility of the touch panel.
In addition, since the metal catalyst layer, the metal layer, and the electrode layer are formed by electroless plating, an expensive vacuum deposition apparatus is not required in the manufacturing process of the touch panel, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the touch panel.
