Abstract

A touch panel mainly disposes a plurality of first electrodes and a plurality of second electrodes on a first substrate and a second substrate in a parallel manner, respectively. Each first electrode and each second electrode respectively possess at least one first branch line and at least one second branch line. An insulation layer having a plurality of through holes is disposed between said first electrodes and second electrodes, so that the first branch line of each first electrode and the second branch line of each second electrode are crossed to form a touch sensing region at the location of each through hole. Thereby, even if the first branch line of each first electrode or the second branch line of each second electrode is broken by excessive external force, electrical short circuit or signal degradation to the first electrodes and the second electrodes will not occur.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a touch panel, and more particularly to a touch panel capable of reducing a short circuit due to electrode breakage. 5 [Prior Art] Please refer to a conventional touch panel (1) shown in the first figure and the second figure, which mainly includes a first substrate (2) and a plurality of first rows disposed side by side on the first substrate (2) An ITO conductive film (3), a second substrate (4), a plurality of second conductive films (5) disposed side by side on the second substrate (4), and a plurality of first ITO conductive films disposed on the first substrate a spacer (6) between the second IT conductive films (5). When the second substrate (4) is deformed by being pressed by an external force, at least one of the first tantalum conductive films (3) in the range of the pressed portion is deformed to be in contact with the corresponding second conductive film (5). In order to produce a voltage change. However, since the first 1TO conductive film (3) is in contact with the second IT conductive film (5) as the second substrate (4) b is deformed, if the second substrate (4) is subjected to a large external force When the pressure is deformed by contact pressure for a long time, the first ΙΤ0 conductive film corresponding to the pressed portion may be broken due to stress concentration, and thus the entire first ΙΤ0 conductive film may be broken. 20 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a contact (four) plate which can cause short circuit or good signal due to electrode breakage. The first embodiment of the present invention provides a touch panel comprising: a plurality of first electrodes, a second substrate, a plurality of second electrodes, and a plurality of insulating layers. The first substrate has a first surface for the first electrodes to be juxtaposed; each of the first electrodes has at least one first branch; the second substrate has a second surface opposite the first surface for the first substrate The second electrodes are juxtaposed; each of the first electrodes has at least one second branch line, and the second branch line and the first branch line are parental; the insulating layer is disposed between the first electrodes and the second electrodes And having a plurality of perforations, wherein the perforations respectively correspond to the first branch line of each of the first electrodes and the second branch line of each of the second electrodes, so that the first branch line of each of the first electrodes and the second branch of each of the first electrodes The two branch lines form a touch sensing area at each of the positions of the through holes. 10 Therefore, when an external force touches any of the touch sensing regions, the first branch line corresponding to the first electrode of the touch sensing region and the second branch line of the second electrode will contact to generate a voltage change. Even if the first branch line or the second branch line is broken by an excessive external force, the main lines of the first electrodes or the second electrodes are not affected, so as to effectively avoid causing each of the first electrodes or the second portions. ^ 15 Very short circuit or poor signal.
