[Prior Art] Conventional capacitive touch panels can be classified into absolute position type and matrix type. Referring to FIG. 5, the absolute position capacitive touch panel is mainly provided with a protective layer (50), a touch layer (51), a buffer layer (52) and a substrate (53). ). Wherein, the protective layer (50) is transparent and has a high hardness scratch protection function, so it is located at the outermost layer for the finger to touch; further referring to the sixth figure, the touch layer (51) includes a plurality of transparent sensing The electrode (51〇) is generally an indium tin oxide (I το) transparent conductive electrode, and each transparent sensing electrode (51〇) is designed into different shapes according to requirements as a capacitive sensing touch button, and all transparent sensing electrodes are used. (510) The commonly formed area is a visible area (511), and each of the transparent sensing electrodes (5 〇) is respectively connected to the side of the visible area (51丄) from the periphery via a metal signal wire (512). An electrical connection circuit board (513) through which an external control chip (not shown) can be connected through the electrical connection circuit board (513). The buffer layer (52) is transparently insulated for the aforementioned transparent sensing. The electrode is attached, the main material is cerium oxide, and the substrate (53) is generally made of glass. The matrix type capacitive touch panel can be further divided into a single-layer substrate structure and a two-layer substrate structure. For the single-layer substrate, please refer to the seventh figure, and a protective layer (60) is stacked from top to bottom. a touch layer (61), a first buffer layer 20096149, a substrate (63), a second buffer layer (64), a second touch layer (65), and an insulating layer (66) For the double-layer substrate structure, please refer to the eighth figure. A protective layer (7〇), a first substrate (71), a first buffer layer (72), and a first touch are sequentially stacked from top to bottom. a control layer (73), a spacer layer (74), a second touch layer (75), a second buffer layer (76), and a second substrate (77), wherein, further referring to the ninth figure, The first capacitive layer (61, 73) and the first touch layer (65, 75) of the matrix capacitive touch panel of the single-layer or double-layer substrate respectively comprise a plurality of row electrodes as a single axis (81 ) or the column electrode (80), which becomes the capacitive sensing touch button of the χ axis and the γ axis which are staggered up and down, and the column electrodes (80) are also connected to the one via the metal signal wire (82). The circuit board (9〇) for electrical connection on the side, and the row electrode (81) of each row are similar to the circuit board (90) for electrical connection, so a transparent signal electrode (83) is used as the connecting wire, generally Indium tin oxide (IT〇) transparent conductive electrode. Regardless of the type of touch panel described above, the difference in resistance between the touch buttons and the circuit board for electrical connection will affect the sensing capability of the capacitive touch panel®. With the current ability to control the chip, only per The maximum resistance between the signal wires is within 1 〇〇 ohm. Since the resistance of the metal material is extremely small, the current wire is used as the signal transmission wire to avoid between the longest wire and the shortest wire. The difference in resistance value is too large. 'However, the use of metal wires can solve the problem of excessive difference in resistance value, but the disadvantage is that the production of metal wires requires the purchase of process-related equipment. In addition to the high equipment cost, it is necessary to increase the number in the process. The production process of the metal wire is therefore making the overall production of the touch panel time-consuming and reducing the production efficiency of 200945149. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It can be seen from the above description that the transparent sensing electrode constituting the button on the conventional capacitive touch panel transmits signal transmission through the metal wire and the electrical connection circuit board and the control chip, but the metal wire not only consumes equipment in the process. Cost 'and multiple processes reduce production efficiency. In view of this, the main object of the present invention is to provide a circuit structure of a capacitive touch panel, which can eliminate the manufacturing process of the metal wires, thereby reducing the cost and improving the production efficiency. The main technical means for achieving the above purpose is to apply the circuit structure of the capacitive touch panel to at least one touch layer of the capacitive touch panel, comprising: an electrical connection circuit board is disposed on the touch One of the control layers can be connected to an external control chip; the plurality of transparent sensing electrodes are formed as capacitive sensing touch buttons on the touch layer, wherein the transparent sensing electrodes are respectively connected via a transparent signal electrode To the circuit board for electrical connection, the line width of each transparent signal electrode is proportional to the distance between the transparent sensing electrode and the circuit board for electrical connection. Since the resistance value of the transparent signal electrode is much larger than the resistance value of the metal wire, the present invention uses different lengths of transparent signal electrodes as signal wires to replace the metal wires to reduce the cost and design different widths, so that the transparent The difference in resistance between the signal electrode lines is reduced, so as not to affect the sensing capability of the 200945149 ring-type touch panel. [Embodiment] Referring to the first embodiment, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is applied to at least one touch layer (1) of a capacitive touch panel, and includes: an electrical connection circuit The board (2〇a) 'connected to one side of the touch layer (丨〇) can be connected to an external control chip (not shown), and the circuit board (20a) for electrical connection can be a flexible circuit a plurality of transparent sensing electrodes (3 〇) are formed as capacitive sensing touch buttons to form the touch layer (1 〇), and each transparent sensing electrode (3 〇) is respectively passed through a transparent signal electrode (40) Connected to the electrical connection circuit board (2〇a), wherein the line width of each transparent signal electrode (4〇) is based on the transparent sensing electrode (3〇) and the electrical connection circuit board (2〇a) Depending on the distance, the shortest transparent sensing electrode (3〇) from the electrical connection board (20a) has a minimum line width of the transparent signal electrode (40a) connected to the circuit board (2〇a). The farthest transparent sensing electrode (3〇), the transparent signal electrode (4〇b) ® connected to it has the most line width . Due to the longer length of the transparent signal electrode (4〇), the resistance value is larger, 'there is a proportional relationship between the two; and the resistance value is inversely proportional to the width of the transparent signal electrode (4〇). The signal electrode (40) must be increased in width so that the difference in resistance between the transparent signal electrodes (4 turns) is the maximum allowable value of the current control wafer, that is, the difference in resistance value is within 100 ohms. Referring to the second embodiment, another preferred embodiment of the present invention is applied to the upper and lower touch layers (n, 12) of a capacitive touch panel and 200945149. The (11, 12) is disposed above and below. The embodiment includes: an electrical connection circuit board (2 〇b) disposed between the upper and lower touch layers (11, 12) and located on one side.

Connected to the electrical connection circuit board (20b)' to form a capacitive sensing touch button on the horizontal axis; further, the shortest transparent sensing electrode (32) from the electrical connection circuit board (20b), The connected transparent signal electrode (4〇c) has the smallest line width. On the contrary, the farther the distance is, the larger the line width is, so the lower transparent sensing electrode (32) which is farthest from the electrical connection circuit board (2〇b) The connected transparent signal electrode (4〇d) has the largest line width. In this embodiment, since the upper transparent sensing electrodes of the upper touch layer (11) are vertically connected in series and directly connected to the electrical connection circuit board (2 〇b) at one end, each vertical longitudinal transparent sensing electrode is connected ( The transparent signal electrodes (40e) of 31) are all similar in length; and the transparent sensing electrodes (32) under the lower touch layer (12) are connected in series, so they must be connected by transparent signal electrodes (4〇) of different lengths respectively. To the electrical connection board (20b), and by the aforementioned line width change original 200945149, the difference between the resistance values of the transparent signal electrodes (40) is within the standard value. The upper transparent sensing electrodes (3) of the touch layer (11) may also be connected in series to the horizontal connection and connected to the electrical connection circuit board (20b) with transparent signal electrodes of different lengths and line widths, but relatively The lower transparent sensing electrodes (32) of the touch layer (12) must be connected in series to be vertically connected in series to be interleaved with the upper transparent sensing electrodes. Referring to the second and fourth figures, the difference from the foregoing embodiments is that the sensing electrodes on the touch layer are directly connected to the control wafer (21) disposed on one side via the transparent signal electrodes. In summary, the present invention connects the transparent sensing electrode of the touch layer and the circuit board for electrical connection by using the transparent signal electrode as a signal wire, and is connected to the external control chip through the circuit board for electrical connection, and makes the distance electrical connection The farther the transparent sensing electrode of the circuit board is connected, the larger the line width of the transparent signal electrode is, so that the difference between the resistance values of the transparent signal electrodes is within the standard value, so as not affecting the sensing capability of the capacitive touch panel, It can replace the conventional metal wire, eliminating the cost of adding metal processing equipment, and eliminating the need for multiple metal processes, which greatly improves production efficiency.
