隨著半導體與電路設計技術的進步,目前觸控裝置大量地被應用於手持裝置或其他電子裝置中,其中觸控裝置包括觸控面板與控制器。舉例來說,一般的智慧型手機都具有觸控面板,而觸控面板中具有感測電極陣列,其中感測電極陣列具有多條掃描線與驅動線。控制器可以將驅動信號傳送給感測電極陣列的驅動線,並且接收掃描線上的感測信號,以判讀使用者於觸控面板上的觸碰區域。 With the advancement of semiconductor and circuit design technology, touch devices are widely used in handheld devices or other electronic devices, wherein the touch device includes a touch panel and a controller. For example, a typical smart phone has a touch panel, and the touch panel has a sensing electrode array, wherein the sensing electrode array has a plurality of scanning lines and driving lines. The controller can transmit the driving signal to the driving line of the sensing electrode array, and receive the sensing signal on the scanning line to interpret the touch area of the user on the touch panel.
請參照圖1,圖1是傳統觸控面板的感測電極結構的俯視圖。觸控面板包含基板以及形成於基板同一表面上的感測電極結構。其中,感測電極結構具有多個第一軸向電極11與多個第二軸向電極12,其中多個第一軸向電極11與多個第二軸向電極12可以形成感測電極陣列,以用來感測觸碰區域。 Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a top view of a sensing electrode structure of a conventional touch panel. The touch panel includes a substrate and a sensing electrode structure formed on the same surface of the substrate. The sensing electrode structure has a plurality of first axial electrodes 11 and a plurality of second axial electrodes 12, wherein the plurality of first axial electrodes 11 and the plurality of second axial electrodes 12 may form a sensing electrode array. Used to sense the touch area.
於圖1中,第一軸向電極11為X軸向電極,且第二軸向電極12為Y軸向電極。每一第一軸向電極11具有多個菱形導電圖形111,其中每一個菱形導電圖形111與相鄰的菱形導電圖形111透過第一導電元件112電性連接。每一第二軸向電極12具有多個菱形導電圖形121,其中每一個菱形導電圖形121與相鄰的菱形導電圖形121透過第二導 電元件122而電性連接。此外,感測電極結構進一步包含多個絕緣隔點(未繪於圖1),分別設置在第二導電元件122與對應的第一導電元件112之間,以使第一軸向電極11與第二軸向電極12彼此電性絕緣。 In FIG. 1, the first axial electrode 11 is an X-axis electrode, and the second axial electrode 12 is a Y-axis electrode. Each of the first axial electrodes 11 has a plurality of diamond-shaped conductive patterns 111 , wherein each of the diamond-shaped conductive patterns 111 is electrically connected to the adjacent diamond-shaped conductive patterns 111 through the first conductive elements 112 . Each of the second axial electrodes 12 has a plurality of diamond-shaped conductive patterns 121, wherein each of the diamond-shaped conductive patterns 121 and the adjacent diamond-shaped conductive patterns 121 pass through the second guide The electrical component 122 is electrically connected.
