Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a touch panel, and more particularly to a touch panel having an anti-missing function. [Prior Art] U.S. Patent No. 6,819, 316, "Flexible Capacitive Touch Sensor" has disclosed that electrical leads, electrodes, and conductive areas are set. In the outer peripheral area of the substrate, it is intended to maximize the active area. The capacitive touch sensor disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,819,316, contributes to the extent of the area of the active area. However, there are some problems in the application of touch panels to handheld products (such as mobile phones). The marginal area of the touch panel often has a misunderstanding situation. Therefore, it is invented by the people who have improved their minds. The panel prevents false detections that occur in the marginal area. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a control panel capable of preventing occurrence of false detection sensing in a marginal region. In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the present invention provides a touch panel having an anti-missing function, including a touch detector (t〇uch %黯), and a marginal region of the touch 200928904 sensor (outer per i) The phera 1 area is configured to connect at least one electrical lead to the touch sensor, wherein the conductive shielding layer is disposed at a position corresponding to the marginal region to prevent the user from being used. Error detection sensing caused by touches in the marginal area. The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention.

The touch panel 1 with the anti-missing function of the present invention includes: a touch sensor 10 and a conductive shielding layer 11 , and the shielding layer 11 covers the touch sensor 1 Out Outer peripheral area 10b. In the first figure, the area marked with a slash is the marginal area1. The touch sensor 1 can directly use a conventional touch sensor, such as a touch sensor of US6, 819, 316, or a projected capacitive touch sensor (Projected capacitive touch sensor). ° See Figure 2A, since the touch sensor i is to maximize the area of the active area 10a, so the electrical leads 101 and the electrodes 103 are placed. Marginal area i〇b 200928904 Nakata - Object, such as a finger, after touching the active area 1', the touch sensor 1 can immediately detect the touch position, and the transmission should touch The two-dimensional coordinate signal of the touch position. Since the marginal area jump is provided with the running line ιοί and the electrode 103, and the running line 1〇1 and the electrode 1〇3 are electrically connected to the active area IGa, when the user touches the marginal position of the touch control surface, It may also be judged that the touch panel is touched. However, the marginal area (10) does not belong to the range of the active area l〇a, therefore, the touch in the marginal area will cause the wrong touch gamma induction.
