However, the use of the above-described input device has a drawback in that it is required to learn how to use it and occupies a space, which makes it difficult to improve the completeness of the product. Therefore, there is a growing demand for an input device that is convenient and simple and can reduce malfunctions. In accordance with such a demand, a touch screen panel has been proposed in which a user directly touches or approximates a screen with a hand or a pen while viewing the display device.

In addition, an optical method, an ultrasonic method, and the like are known.

Generally, these types of touch screen panels include a touch area for touch recognition, a routing interconnection area and a pad area formed outside the touch area to exchange signals with the touch electrodes formed in the touch area. In this specification, a region where a routing wiring region and a pad region are combined is defined as a bezel region. These bezel areas generally increase as the number of channels connecting the routing wires increases due to the large touch area.

Hereinafter, a conventional touch screen panel will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1C.

According to the above-described configuration, the plurality of second touch electrodes R1 to R14 of the touch screen panel according to the embodiment of the present invention are arranged on one side (the right side in FIG. 3B) of the touch area TA (The left end side), and then the length becomes shorter from the second corner portion (upper left corner in Fig. 3B).

3B) from the other side (the right end side in Fig. 3B) of the touch area TA to the virtual line L in the x-axis direction (? R14 <? R13 <? R12 <...? R2 <? R1).

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3B, the length of the second touch electrodes R1 to R14 and the angle with respect to the x axis are changed from right to left. However, this is merely an illustrative explanation, To the right end side. In this case, the plurality of first touch electrodes T1 to T14 should be formed to cross the plurality of second touch electrodes R1 to R14.

In the touch screen panel according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 2 to 3B, the first touch electrodes T1 to T14 and the second touch electrodes R1 to R14 are formed on different surfaces of the transparent substrate SUB However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, after the first touch electrodes T1 to T14 and the second touch electrodes R1 to R14 are formed on different first and second substrates, respectively, the first and second substrates are connected to each other Or may be joined together to form a touch screen panel.

3A and 3B, the first touch electrodes T1 to T14 and the second touch electrodes R1 to R14 may be connected to a bar or a stripe (stripe) shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first touch electrodes T1 to T14 and the second touch electrodes R1 to R14 may be formed by connecting a plurality of electrode patterns having a triangular, honeycomb, polygonal, or a combination structure thereof It is possible. In this case, it is preferable that these shapes are formed so as not to overlap with each other and to connect the parts connecting these shapes.

The routing wiring region RA is formed only on one side of the touch region among the regions outside the touch region TA formed with the first and second touch electrodes T1 to T14 and R1 to R14, (RW1) and a plurality of second routing wirings (RW2).

The pad region PA is formed outside the routing wiring region RA and includes a plurality of first routing pads RP1 and a plurality of second routing pads RP2.

Each of the plurality of first routing pads RP1 is connected to each of the plurality of first routing wirings RW1 and each of the plurality of second routing pads RP2 is connected to the plurality of second routing wirings RW2 Respectively.

In the touch screen panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, since one ends of the first and second touch electrodes T1 to T14 and R1 to R14 can be formed on one side of the touch area TA, The first and second routing wirings RW1 and RW2 connected to the first and second touch electrodes T1 to T14 and R1 to R14 may be formed on one side of the touch region TA as shown in FIG. . Therefore, in the touch screen panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessary to form any of the first and second routing wirings RW1 and RW2 on the other side of the touch region.

In contrast, in the conventional touch screen panel, the first routing lines RW1 connected to the first touch electrodes Tx are formed on the right side of the touch area TA, Since the second routing interconnections RW2 connected to the electrodes Rx are formed on the lower side of the touch region TA and formed on at least two sides of the touch region TA, the first routing interconnections RW1 are formed The bezel area is increased.

Therefore, according to the touch screen panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, the bezel area can be reduced by the area where the first routing wirings RW1 are formed with respect to the touch screen panel of the related art.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. For example, in the description of the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the length of the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes and the angle with respect to the x axis direction are moved from one side of the touch region to the other side is described as an example, The present invention is not limited to this, and if the first touch electrodes and the second touch electrodes are formed so as to intersect with each other, they may be formed to be opposite to each other. Also, the numbers of the first and second touch electrodes, the first and second routing wires, the first and second routing pads described in the embodiments of the present invention are merely exemplary and the numbers may be adjusted It should be understood that it can be done. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification, but should be defined by the claims.
