靜電電容式感測器Electrostatic capacitance sensor

本發明,係有關於靜電電容式感測器,特別是有關於被設置有含有導電性奈米線料(wire)之透明電極的靜電電容式感測器。The present invention relates to an electrostatic capacitance type sensor, and more particularly to an electrostatic capacitance type sensor provided with a transparent electrode containing a conductive nanowire.

在專利文獻1中,係揭示有一種手指觸碰式檢測面板,其係在透明玻璃基板上,被形成有銦錫氧化物(ITO)層之X電極以及Y電極。在專利文獻1所記載之手指觸碰式檢測面板中,係被設置有使X電極以及Y電極相互作交叉之部分。Y電極,係經由開孔部來藉由導電體膜而被作電性連接。如此這般,藉由在基板上使X電極以及Y電極相互作交叉,並設置將Y電極作電性連接之架橋配線部,係能夠將檢測面板薄型化。Patent Document 1 discloses a finger touch detection panel, which is an X electrode and a Y electrode on which a indium tin oxide (ITO) layer is formed on a transparent glass substrate. The finger touch detection panel described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a portion where the X electrode and the Y electrode cross each other. The Y electrode is electrically connected by a conductive film through an opening portion. In this way, by crossing the X electrodes and the Y electrodes on the substrate, and providing a bridge wiring portion for electrically connecting the Y electrodes, the detection panel can be made thin.

於此,對於市場的動向而言,係期望將靜電電容式感測器之形狀設為曲面,或者是構成為能夠將靜電電容式感測器作彎折。因此,作為靜電電容式感測器之透明電極的材料,例如係會有使用含有金奈米線料、銀奈米線料以及銅奈米線料等之金屬奈米線料(導電性奈米線料)之材料的情形。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻]Here, for the market trend, it is expected that the shape of the electrostatic capacitance sensor is a curved surface, or it is configured to be able to bend the electrostatic capacitance sensor. Therefore, as a material of the transparent electrode of the electrostatic capacitance sensor, for example, metal nanowires (conductive nanowires) containing gold nanowires, silver nanowires, copper nanowires, and the like are used.

[發明所欲解決之課題][Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

若是在透明電極之材料中使用含有導電性奈米線料之材料,則會有使相互獨立的透明電極和被設置在將該些之透明電極作連接之交叉部分處的架橋配線部之間之接觸面積變得較為狹窄的問題。換言之,包含導電性奈米線料之材料的透明電極,係藉由露出於透明電極之表面處的導電性奈米線料來確保自身與架橋配線材料之間之導電性,並藉由自身與導電性奈米線料之間之間隙來確保透明性。因此,當架橋配線部之材料係為含有導電性奈米線料之材料的情況時,透明電極與架橋配線部之間之接觸,係成為線料與線料之間的點接觸。或者是,當架橋配線部之材料係為例如ITO等之氧化物系材料的情況時,透明電極與架橋配線部之間之接觸,係成為導電性奈米線材之線或點與面之間的接觸。起因於此,若是在透明電極之材料中使用含有導電性奈米線料之材料,則透明電極和架橋配線部之間之接觸面積會變得較為狹窄。故而,係會有使導通安定性降低之虞。If a material containing a conductive nanowire is used as the material of the transparent electrode, there will be a gap between the transparent electrode which is independent of each other and the bridge wiring portion provided at the crossing portion where the transparent electrodes are connected. The contact area becomes narrower. In other words, a transparent electrode containing a conductive nanowire material ensures the conductivity between itself and the bridge wiring material by the conductive nanowire exposed at the surface of the transparent electrode, and by itself and Gap between conductive nanowires to ensure transparency. Therefore, when the material of the bridge wiring part is a material containing a conductive nanowire, the contact between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring part becomes a point contact between the wire and the wire. Alternatively, when the material of the bridge wiring portion is an oxide-based material such as ITO, the contact between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring portion becomes a line or point between the conductive nanowire and the surface. contact. For this reason, if a material containing a conductive nanowire is used as the material of the transparent electrode, the contact area between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring portion becomes relatively narrow. Therefore, there is a concern that the conduction stability may be reduced.

又,若是發生靜電放電(ESD;Electro Static Discharge),而在透明電極與架橋配線部之間的接觸部分處流動大的電流,則該接觸部分係會有局部性地發熱並熔斷之虞。亦即是,若是在透明電極之材料使用含有導電性奈米線料之材料,則雖然靜電電容式感測器之變形性能係提昇,但是,另一方面,係會有使導通安定性以及ESD耐性降低之虞。In addition, if an electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs and a large current flows in a contact portion between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring portion, the contact portion may locally generate heat and melt. That is, if a material containing a conductive nanowire is used as the material of the transparent electrode, although the deformation performance of the electrostatic capacitance sensor is improved, on the other hand, it will make the conduction stability and ESD There is a risk of reduced tolerance.

本發明,係為用以對於上述先前技術之課題作解決者,其目的,係在於提供一種能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制的靜電電容式感測器。 [用以解決課題之手段]The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide an electrostatic capacitance type sensor capable of suppressing reductions in conduction stability and ESD resistance. [Means to solve the problem]

為了解決上述課題,本發明之靜電電容式感測器,其特徵為,係具備有:基材,係具有透光性;和複數之第1透明電極,係在基材之其中一方之主面的檢測區域處,沿著第1方向而被作並排配置,並具有透光性,並且包含導電性奈米線材;和複數之第2透明電極,係在檢測區域處,沿著與第1方向相交叉之第2方向而被作並排配置,並具有透光性,並且包含導電性奈米線材;和第1連結部,係將相鄰之2個的第1透明電極相互作電性連接,並包含非晶質氧化物系材料;和第2連結部,係將相鄰之2個的第2透明電極相互作電性連接,並包含非晶質氧化物系材料,第1連結部和第2連結部,係在從與主面相正交之方向來作了觀察的平面觀察下,以並不會相互交叉的方式而被作配置,在第1連結部處,係具備有分別被配設在相鄰之2個的第1透明電極上之第1連接面,第1連接面係與各別之第1透明電極作電性連接,在第2連結部處,係具備有分別被配設在相鄰之2個的第2透明電極上之第2連接面,第2連接面係與各別之第2透明電極作電性連接。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the electrostatic capacity sensor of the present invention is characterized by comprising: a base material having translucency; and a plurality of first transparent electrodes on a main surface of one of the base materials. The detection area is arranged side by side along the first direction, is transparent, and contains conductive nanowires; and a plurality of second transparent electrodes are located at the detection area along the first direction. The second direction intersects with each other and is arranged side by side, which is translucent and contains conductive nanowires; and the first connection portion is used to electrically connect two adjacent first transparent electrodes to each other, And includes an amorphous oxide-based material; and a second connection portion that electrically connects two adjacent second transparent electrodes to each other, and includes an amorphous oxide-based material, a first connection portion and a second connection portion 2 The connecting portion is arranged so that it does not intersect with each other when viewed from a plane orthogonal to the main surface. The first connecting portion is provided with a separate arrangement. 1st connection surface on 2 adjacent 1st transparent electrodes, 1st connection It is electrically connected to each of the first transparent electrodes. At the second connection portion, it is provided with a second connection surface and a second connection surface which are respectively disposed on two adjacent second transparent electrodes. It is electrically connected to the respective second transparent electrodes.

藉由在第1連結部處設置第1連接面,並在第2連結部處設置第2連接面,並且將各個的連接面(第1連接面或第2連接面)配設於成為電性連接之對象的透明電極(第1透明電極、第2透明電極)上,係能夠將第1透明電極與第1連結部之接觸面積以及第2透明電極與第2連結部之接觸面積分別擴廣。藉由此,係成為能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。   又,由於係在平面觀察下,將第1連結部和第2連結部以不會相互交叉的方式來作配置,因此,相較於使該些相互交叉之構成,係能夠將製造工程簡略化。The first connection surface is provided at the first connection portion, the second connection surface is provided at the second connection portion, and each connection surface (the first connection surface or the second connection surface) is disposed to be electrically conductive. The transparent electrodes (the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode) to be connected are capable of widening the contact area between the first transparent electrode and the first connection portion and the contact area between the second transparent electrode and the second connection portion, respectively. . This makes it possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance. In addition, since the first connection portion and the second connection portion are arranged so as not to cross each other in a plan view, the manufacturing process can be simplified as compared with the configuration in which these mutually intersect. .

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:在第1連結部所被形成之區域中,係被形成有於平面觀察下將第2透明電極之一部分作覆蓋的絕緣層,將2個的第1透明電極作電性連接之第1連結部,係被配置在與2個的第1透明電極相鄰之第2透明電極上的絕緣層上。In the electrostatic capacitance sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the electrostatic sensor is configured such that, in a region where the first connection portion is formed, it is formed with insulation covering a part of the second transparent electrode in a plan view. Layer, the first connection portion electrically connecting the two first transparent electrodes is disposed on the insulating layer on the second transparent electrode adjacent to the two first transparent electrodes.

藉由此,由於第1連結部係包夾著絕緣層而被敷設於第2透明電極上,因此係成為更容易取得較大的在平面觀察下之第1連結部的面積。故而,係能夠將與第1透明電極之間的接觸面積確保為廣,並且係能夠使第1連結部之電阻值降低。故而,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。As a result, the first connection portion is laid on the second transparent electrode with the insulating layer sandwiched therebetween, so that it is easier to obtain a larger area of the first connection portion in a planar view. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a wide contact area with the first transparent electrode and to reduce the resistance value of the first connection portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:第1連結部,係在成為電性連接之對象之2個的第1透明電極之各者之上,具備有沿著與第1方向相交叉之方向而延伸的圖案。In the electrostatic capacitance type sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the first connecting portion is provided on each of the two first transparent electrodes that are to be electrically connected, and is provided with A pattern extending in a direction crossing the first direction.

藉由此,由於第1連結部,係在第1透明電極上,具備有沿著與第1方向相交叉之方向而延伸的圖案,因此係能夠將以不會與第2連結部相交叉的方式來作敷設的第1連結部之圖案縮短。故而,係能夠將第1連結部之電阻值降低,而能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。並且,係能夠將第1連結部與第1透明電極之間的接觸面積擴廣,亦即是能夠將第1連結部之第1連接面擴廣。故而,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。Accordingly, since the first connection portion is provided on the first transparent electrode and has a pattern extending in a direction crossing the first direction, the first connection portion can be formed so as not to intersect the second connection portion. The pattern of the first connection portion to be laid is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the resistance value of the first connection portion, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance. In addition, the contact area between the first connection portion and the first transparent electrode can be enlarged, that is, the first connection surface of the first connection portion can be enlarged. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:第1連結部,係在成為電性連接之對象之2個的第1透明電極之各者之上,具備有沿著第2方向而延伸的圖案,並且,係在與2個的第1透明電極相鄰之2個的第2透明電極上之各者的絕緣層上,具備有沿著第1方向而延伸的圖案。In the electrostatic capacitance type sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the first connecting portion is provided on each of the two first transparent electrodes that are to be electrically connected, and is provided with The pattern extending in the second direction is provided on the insulating layer of each of the two second transparent electrodes adjacent to the two first transparent electrodes, and includes a pattern extending in the first direction. .

藉由此,由於係成為容易取得在平面觀察下之第1連結部之更大的面積,因此,係能夠將與第1透明電極之間的接觸面積確保為廣,並且係能夠使第1連結部之電阻值降低。故而,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。This makes it possible to obtain a larger area of the first connection portion in a planar view, so that the contact area with the first transparent electrode can be ensured to be wide, and the first connection can be made. The resistance value of the part decreases. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:在絕緣層處,係被形成有面臨第2透明電極並於上下而貫通絕緣層之第2通孔,經由第2通孔,相鄰之第2透明電極係藉由第2連結部而被作電性連接。In the electrostatic capacitance type sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the structure is such that, at the insulating layer, a second through hole facing the second transparent electrode and penetrating the insulating layer above and below is formed through the second through hole. The hole and the adjacent second transparent electrode are electrically connected through the second connection portion.

藉由此,經由被設置在絕緣層處之第2通孔,由於相鄰之第2透明電極係藉由第2連結部而被作電性連接,因此,無關於與第2透明電極相鄰之第1透明電極之圖案形狀,均能夠藉由第2連結部來容易地將相鄰之第2透明電極作連接。As a result, since the adjacent second transparent electrode is electrically connected through the second connection portion through the second through hole provided in the insulating layer, the second transparent electrode is not adjacent to the second transparent electrode. The pattern shapes of the first transparent electrodes can easily connect adjacent second transparent electrodes through the second connection portion.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:絕緣層,在平面觀察下,係將第1透明電極之一部分作覆蓋,在絕緣層處,係被形成有面臨第1透明電極並於上下而貫通絕緣層之第1通孔,經由第1通孔,相鄰之第1透明電極係藉由第1連結部而被作電性連接。In the electrostatic capacitance sensor of the present invention, it is more desirable to be composed of: an insulating layer, which covers a part of the first transparent electrode in a planar view, and is formed at the insulating layer to face the first The transparent electrode passes through the first through hole of the insulating layer on the upper and lower sides, and the adjacent first transparent electrode is electrically connected through the first connecting portion through the first through hole.

藉由此,由於在絕緣層處,係除了第2通孔之外更進而被設置有第1通孔,而第1連結部以及第2連結部係被配置在一樣的絕緣層上,因此,圖案形狀之限制係變少,藉由此,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。又,由於係配置在身為略平面之絕緣層上,因此係能夠以良好精確度來形成連結部之圖案。Therefore, since the first through hole is provided in addition to the second through hole at the insulating layer, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are arranged on the same insulating layer, Restrictions on the pattern shape are reduced, and by this, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance. In addition, since it is arranged on the insulating layer that is slightly flat, it is possible to form the pattern of the connecting portion with good accuracy.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:在第1透明電極以及第2透明電極上,係於平面觀察下,在除了第1連結部以及第2連結部以外之區域處,被配置有包含非晶質氧化物系材料之圖案層。In the electrostatic capacitance type sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the first and second transparent electrodes are structured in a planar view, and the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode are other than the first connection portion and the second connection portion. In the region, a pattern layer containing an amorphous oxide-based material is arranged.

藉由此,由於係藉由與連結部(第1連結部以及第2連結部)相同之材質(非晶質氧化物系材料)並且具有相同之外觀(反射性)的圖案層來將透明電極(第1透明電極以及第2透明電極)作覆蓋,因此,係能夠使連結部難以被視覺辨認到。Therefore, the transparent electrode is made of a pattern layer having the same material (amorphous oxide-based material) and the same appearance (reflective) as the connection portion (the first connection portion and the second connection portion). (The first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode), so that the connection portion can be made difficult to be visually recognized.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:圖案層,係被與第1連結部以及第2連結部之其中一方作電性連接,並與另外一方相互絕緣。In the electrostatic capacity sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the pattern layer is configured as: a pattern layer which is electrically connected to one of the first connection portion and the second connection portion and is insulated from the other.

若依據此構成,則藉由將圖案層與其中一方之連結部作電性連接,係能夠將該連結部和圖案層所被作配置的透明電極之間之接觸面積實質性擴廣,藉由此,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。According to this configuration, by electrically connecting the pattern layer to one of the connection portions, the contact area between the connection portion and the transparent electrode in which the pattern layer is arranged can be substantially enlarged. This makes it possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:係具備有:第1導出配線,係被與藉由複數之第1連結部所作了連結的複數之第1透明電極作電性連接;和第2導出配線,係被與藉由複數之第2連結部所作了連結的複數之第2透明電極作電性連接,在相鄰之第1透明電極與第1導出配線之間,係被形成有包含非晶質氧化物系材料之第1阻抗設定部,並且,在相鄰之第2透明電極與第2導出配線之間,係被形成有包含非晶質氧化物系材料之第2阻抗設定部。In the electrostatic capacity sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the electrostatic sensor is configured to include: a first lead-out wiring; and a plurality of first transparent electrodes connected to each other by a plurality of first connecting portions. Electrical connection; and the second lead-out wiring are electrically connected to a plurality of second transparent electrodes connected by a plurality of second connecting portions, and the adjacent first transparent electrode and the first lead-out wiring are electrically connected. A first impedance setting section including an amorphous oxide-based material is formed, and a system including the amorphous oxide-based is formed between the adjacent second transparent electrode and the second lead-out wiring. The second impedance setting section of the material.

藉由此,由於係被設置有第1阻抗設定部以及第2阻抗設定部,因此,藉由改變第1阻抗設定部以及第2阻抗設定部之圖案面積以及形狀,係能夠使沿著第1方向之第1透明電極之群的阻抗和沿著第2方向之第2透明電極之群的阻抗相互一致。因此,係能夠避免電流集中於單一場所處的情況,而能夠對於ESD耐性之降低作抑制。As a result, the first impedance setting section and the second impedance setting section are provided. Therefore, by changing the pattern areas and shapes of the first impedance setting section and the second impedance setting section, the first impedance setting section and the second impedance setting section can be changed. The impedance of the group of first transparent electrodes in the direction and the impedance of the group of second transparent electrodes in the second direction coincide with each other. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a current is concentrated in a single place, and to suppress a reduction in ESD tolerance.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:導電性奈米線料,係為從由金奈米線料、銀奈米線料以及銅奈米線料而成之群之中所選擇的至少1者。In the electrostatic capacitance type sensor of the present invention, it is preferable to be composed of: conductive nano wire, which is made of gold nano wire, silver nano wire, and copper nano wire. At least one selected from the group.

藉由此,相較於在透明電極之材料中使用例如ITO等之氧化物系材料的情況,係能夠使靜電電容式感測器之變形性能提昇,並且能夠更進一步對於彎折時之電阻的上升作抑制。Therefore, compared with the case where an oxide-based material such as ITO is used as the material of the transparent electrode, the deformation performance of the electrostatic capacitance sensor can be improved, and the resistance of the sensor during bending can be further improved. Ascend to suppress.

在本發明之靜電電容式感測器中,較理想,係構成為:非晶質氧化物系材料,係為從由非晶質ITO、非晶質IZO、非晶質GZO、非晶質AZO以及非晶質FTO而成之群之中所選擇的至少1者。In the electrostatic capacitance sensor of the present invention, it is preferable that the system is composed of: an amorphous oxide-based material, which is composed of amorphous ITO, amorphous IZO, amorphous GZO, and amorphous AZO. And at least one selected from the group consisting of amorphous FTO.

藉由此,相較於在架橋配線部之材料中使用例如結晶性ITO等的情況,係能夠使靜電電容式感測器之變形性能提昇,並且能夠對於彎折時之電阻的上升作抑制。又,相較於在架橋配線部之材料中使用有例如導電性奈米線材等的情況,係能夠更進一步提高架橋配線部之不可視性。 [發明之效果]Therefore, compared with the case where crystalline ITO is used as the material of the bridge wiring portion, the deformation performance of the electrostatic capacitance sensor can be improved, and the increase in resistance during bending can be suppressed. In addition, the invisibility of the bridge wiring portion can be further improved compared to the case where a conductive nanowire is used as the material of the bridge wiring portion. [Effect of the invention]

In this way, the silver nanowires in the transparent resin layer are formed in extremely few areas, and the conductivity of this part disappears and becomes the insulating area 18. In addition, depending on the etching conditions, an insulating region 18 in which silver nanowires are not present in the transparent resin layer at all can be produced.

在靜電電容式感測器10中,若是從Z1側起來作為操作體之其中一例而使手指作接觸,則在手指與手指附近之第1透明電極13之間、以及手指與手指附近之第2透明電極14之間,係產生有靜電電容。靜電電容式感測器10,係能夠基於此時之靜電容量之變化,而算出手指之接觸位置。靜電電容式感測器10,係基於手指與第1電極連結體13C之間的靜電電容之變化,來偵測出手指之位置的X座標(X1-X2方向之座標),並基於手指與第2電極連結體14C之間的靜電電容之變化,來偵測出手指之位置的Y座標(Y1-Y2方向之座標)(自我電容檢測型)。In the electrostatic capacitance type sensor 10, if the finger is brought into contact as an example of the operating body from the Z1 side, between the finger and the first transparent electrode 13 near the finger, and between the finger and the second transparent electrode 13 near the finger, An electrostatic capacitance is generated between the transparent electrodes 14. The electrostatic capacity sensor 10 can calculate the contact position of a finger based on the change in the electrostatic capacity at this time. The electrostatic capacitance type sensor 10 detects the X coordinate (the coordinate in the direction of X1-X2) of the position of the finger based on the change in the electrostatic capacitance between the finger and the first electrode connecting body 13C, and based on the finger The change in the electrostatic capacitance between the two-electrode coupling body 14C is used to detect the Y coordinate (coordinates in the Y1-Y2 direction) of the finger position (self-capacitance detection type).

於此,一般而言,當透明電極為藉由含有導電性奈米線料之材料而形成的情況時,透明電極和架橋配線部之間之接觸面積係會有變得較為狹窄的情況。亦即是,導電性奈米線料,係藉由露出於透明電極之表面處的導電性奈米線料,來確保自身與架橋配線材料之間之導電性。因此,當架橋配線部之材料係為含有導電性奈米線料之材料的情況時,透明電極與架橋配線部之間之接觸,係成為線料與線料之間的點接觸。或者是,當架橋配線部之材料係為例如ITO等之氧化物系材料的情況時,透明電極與架橋配線部之間之接觸,係成為線料之線或點與面之間的接觸。藉由此,若是在透明電極之材料中使用含有導電性奈米線料之材料,則透明電極和架橋配線部之間之接觸面積係會有變得較為狹窄的情況,起因於此,係會有導通安定性降低的情形。又,若是發生靜電放電(ESD;Electro Static Discharge),而在透明電極與架橋配線部之間的接觸部分處流動大的電流,則該接觸部分係會有局部性地發熱並熔斷的情形。亦即是,若是在透明電極之材料使用含有導電性奈米線料之材料,則雖然靜電電容式感測器之變形性能係提昇,但是,另一方面,係會有使導通安定性以及ESD耐性降低的情形。又,若是在架橋配線部之材料中使用結晶性之氧化物系材料或金屬系材料,則會有使彎折時之電阻上升或者是導致架橋配線部斷線的情形。Here, in general, when the transparent electrode is formed of a material containing a conductive nanowire, the contact area between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring portion may become relatively narrow. That is, the conductive nanowires ensure the conductivity between the conductive nanowires and the bridge wiring material by the conductive nanowires exposed on the surface of the transparent electrode. Therefore, when the material of the bridge wiring part is a material containing a conductive nanowire, the contact between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring part becomes a point contact between the wire and the wire. Alternatively, when the material of the bridge wiring portion is an oxide-based material such as ITO, the contact between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring portion is a contact between a wire or a point and a surface. Therefore, if a material containing a conductive nanowire is used as the material of the transparent electrode, the contact area between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring portion may become narrower. There may be cases where the conduction stability is reduced. In addition, if an electrostatic discharge (ESD) occurs and a large current flows in a contact portion between the transparent electrode and the bridge wiring portion, the contact portion may locally generate heat and blow. That is, if a material containing a conductive nanowire is used as the material of the transparent electrode, although the deformation performance of the electrostatic capacitance sensor is improved, on the other hand, it will make the conduction stability and ESD Case of reduced tolerance. In addition, if a crystalline oxide-based material or a metal-based material is used as the material of the bridge wiring portion, the resistance at the time of bending may be increased or the bridge wiring portion may be disconnected.

相對於此,在本實施形態之靜電電容式感測器10中,係在平面觀察下將第1連結部20和第2連結部21以不會相互交叉的方式來作配置,並在第1連結部20處設置第1連接面20a,並且在第2連結部21處設置第2連接面21a,而將各個的連接面分別配設於成為電性連接之對象的透明電極(第1透明電極13、第2透明電極14)上。藉由此,係能夠將第1透明電極13和第1連結部20之接觸面積以及第2透明電極14和第2連結部21之接觸面積分別擴廣,而成為能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。又,由於係將第1連結部20和第2連結部21以在平面觀察下不會相互交叉的方式來作配置,因此,相較於使該些相互交叉之構成,係成為能夠將製造工程簡略化。On the other hand, in the electrostatic capacitance type sensor 10 of this embodiment, the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21 are arranged so as not to intersect with each other in a plan view, and are placed in the first place. A first connection surface 20a is provided at the connection portion 20, and a second connection surface 21a is provided at the second connection portion 21, and each connection surface is disposed on a transparent electrode (first transparent electrode) that is the object of electrical connection. 13. The second transparent electrode 14). As a result, the contact area of the first transparent electrode 13 and the first connection portion 20 and the contact area of the second transparent electrode 14 and the second connection portion 21 can be expanded, respectively, and they can be resistant to continuity and ESD. The reduction is suppressed. In addition, since the first connecting portion 20 and the second connecting portion 21 are arranged so as not to cross each other in a planar view, the manufacturing process can be performed more than the configuration that intersects each other. Simplify.

第1透明電極13和第2透明電極14係含有導電性奈米線材,第1連結部20和第2連結部21係含有非晶質氧化物系材料。因此,相較於在第1連結部20和第2連結部21之材料中使用結晶性之氧化物系材料或金屬系材料的情況,係能夠使靜電電容式感測器10之變形性能提昇,並且能夠分別確保第1透明電極13與第1連結部20之密著性以及第2透明電極14與第2連結部21之間的密著性。又,係能夠對於彎折時之電阻的上升作抑制。The first transparent electrode 13 and the second transparent electrode 14 include a conductive nanowire, and the first connecting portion 20 and the second connecting portion 21 include an amorphous oxide-based material. Therefore, compared with the case where a crystalline oxide-based material or a metal-based material is used as the material of the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21, the deformation performance of the electrostatic capacitance type sensor 10 can be improved. In addition, the adhesion between the first transparent electrode 13 and the first connection portion 20 and the adhesion between the second transparent electrode 14 and the second connection portion 21 can be secured. In addition, it is possible to suppress an increase in resistance during bending.

當導電性奈米線材為從身為金屬奈米線材之由金奈米線材、銀奈米線材以及銅奈米線材所成之群中而選擇之至少1者的情況時,相較於在第1透明電極13以及第2透明電極14之材料中使用例如ITO等之氧化物系材料的情況,係能夠使靜電電容式感測器10之變形性能提昇,並且能夠更進一步對於彎折時之電阻的上升作抑制。When the conductive nanowire is at least one selected from the group consisting of metal nanowires, gold nanowires, and copper nanowires, which is a metal nanowire, compared to the first In the case where an oxide-based material such as ITO is used as the material of the first transparent electrode 13 and the second transparent electrode 14, the deformation performance of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 10 can be improved, and the resistance during bending can be further improved. To suppress the rise.

當非晶質氧化物系材料為從由非晶質ITO、非晶質IZO、非晶質GZO、非晶質AZO以及非晶質FTO所成之群中而選擇之至少1者的情況時,相較於在第1連結部20和第2連結部21之材料中使用例如結晶性ITO等的情況,係能夠使靜電電容式感測器10之變形性能提昇,並且能夠對於彎折時之電阻的上升作抑制。又,相較於在第1連結部20和第2連結部21之材料中使用有例如導電性奈米線材等的情況,係能夠更進一步提高第1連結部20和第2連結部21之不可視性。When the amorphous oxide-based material is at least one selected from the group consisting of amorphous ITO, amorphous IZO, amorphous GZO, amorphous AZO, and amorphous FTO, Compared with the case where crystalline ITO is used as the material of the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21, the deformation performance of the electrostatic capacitance sensor 10 can be improved, and the resistance to bending can be improved. To suppress the rise. In addition, compared with the case where conductive nanowires are used for the materials of the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21, the invisibility of the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21 can be further improved. Sex.

如同圖4(b)中所示一般,由於第1連結部20係包夾著絕緣層30而被敷設於第2透明電極14上,因此係成為更容易取得較大的在平面觀察下之第1連結部20的面積。故而,係能夠將與第1透明電極13之間的接觸面積確保為廣,並且係能夠使第1連結部20之電阻值降低。故而,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。As shown in FIG. 4 (b), since the first connection portion 20 is laid on the second transparent electrode 14 with the insulating layer 30 sandwiched therebetween, it becomes easier to obtain a larger first portion in plan view. 1 area of the connecting portion 20. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a wide contact area with the first transparent electrode 13 and to reduce the resistance value of the first connection portion 20. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance.

由於第1連結部20,係在第1透明電極13上,具備有沿著與第1方向相交叉之第2方向而延伸的圖案,因此係能夠將以不會與第2連結部21相交叉的方式來作敷設的第1連結部20之圖案縮短。故而,係能夠將第1連結部20之電阻值降低,而能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。並且,係能夠將第1連結部20與第1透明電極13之間的接觸面積擴廣,又,係能夠將第1連結部20之第1連接面20a擴廣,因此,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。Since the first connection portion 20 is provided on the first transparent electrode 13 and has a pattern extending in the second direction intersecting the first direction, it is possible to prevent the first connection portion 20 from intersecting the second connection portion 21. The pattern of the first connection portion 20 to be laid is shortened. Therefore, the resistance value of the first connection portion 20 can be reduced, and the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance can be suppressed. In addition, since the contact area between the first connection portion 20 and the first transparent electrode 13 can be widened, and because the first connection surface 20a of the first connection portion 20 can be widened, the system can be stable against conduction. The reduction of the properties and ESD tolerance is suppressed.

藉由將絕緣層30設為如同圖3(b)中所示一般之矩形框狀之圖案,由於係成為容易取得在平面觀察下之第1連結部20之更大的面積,因此,係能夠將與第1透明電極13之間的接觸面積確保為廣,並且係能夠使第1連結部20之電阻值降低。故而,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。By forming the insulating layer 30 in a generally rectangular frame-like pattern as shown in FIG. 3 (b), since it becomes easy to obtain a larger area of the first connection portion 20 in a planar view, it is possible to While ensuring a wide contact area with the first transparent electrode 13, the resistance value of the first connection portion 20 can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance.

以下,針對變形例作說明。 〈第1變形例〉   圖5,係為對於在上述實施形態中之前述之區域A1處的第1變形例作展示之平面圖。在上述實施形態中,第1連結部20,係如同圖3(b)中所示一般,在平面觀察下,於矩形框狀之絕緣層30上被形成為略矩形框狀,並以通過相鄰之2個的第2透明電極14之雙方之上的方式而被作配置。代替此,第1變形例之第1連結部120,係如同圖5中所示一般,並不被形成於X1側之絕緣層30上地而僅被形成於X2側之絕緣層30之上,並以僅通過相鄰之2個的第2透明電極14中之X2側之上的方式而被作配置。於此情況,亦係與上述實施形態之第1連結部20同樣的,絕緣層30之Y1側之第1圖案30a上的第1連結部120,係從其之中央部起一直延伸到達Y1側之第1透明電極13上地而被形成,藉由此,Y1側之第1透明電極13和第1連結部120係被作電性連接。又,絕緣層30之Y2側之第3圖案30c上的第1連結部120,係從其之中央部起一直延伸到達Y2側之第1透明電極13上地而被形成,藉由此,Y2側之第1透明電極13和第1連結部120係被作電性連接。藉由此些,第1連結部120之Y1側端部以及Y2側端部的各者之下面(第1連接面),係與在Y1-Y2方向上而相鄰之2個的第1透明電極13分別作接觸。Hereinafter, modifications will be described. <First Modification Example> FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a first modification example of the aforementioned area A1 in the above embodiment. In the above embodiment, the first connecting portion 20 is formed into a substantially rectangular frame shape on a rectangular frame-shaped insulating layer 30 in a planar view as shown in FIG. The two adjacent second transparent electrodes 14 are arranged on both sides. Instead of this, the first connecting portion 120 of the first modification is not formed on the insulating layer 30 on the X1 side but is formed only on the insulating layer 30 on the X2 side, as shown in FIG. 5. It is arranged so that it passes only on the X2 side of the two adjacent second transparent electrodes 14. In this case, the first connecting portion 120 on the first pattern 30a on the Y1 side of the insulating layer 30 is the same as the first connecting portion 20 of the above embodiment, and extends from the central portion to the Y1 side. The first transparent electrode 13 is formed on the ground. As a result, the first transparent electrode 13 on the Y1 side and the first connection portion 120 are electrically connected. In addition, the first connecting portion 120 on the third pattern 30c on the Y2 side of the insulating layer 30 is formed to extend from the central portion thereof to the first transparent electrode 13 on the Y2 side, whereby Y2 The first transparent electrode 13 on the side and the first connecting portion 120 are electrically connected. With this, the underside (first connecting surface) of each of the Y1 side end portion and the Y2 side end portion of the first connecting portion 120 is first transparent to the two adjacent ones in the Y1-Y2 direction. The electrodes 13 are in contact.

於此,作為「第1連結部」,雖係以如同上述實施形態之第1連結部20或第1變形例之第1連結部120一般地來沿著與第1方向(Y1-Y2方向)相正交之第2方向(X1-X2方向)而於成為電性連接之對象之2個的第1透明電極13之各者之上延伸的形態為理想,但是,只要是身為與第1方向相交叉之方向,則係亦可為並非與第1方向相正交之方向。又,在第2透明電極14上,雖係以如同上述實施形態之第1連結部20或第1變形例之第1連結部120一般地來沿著第1方向延伸為理想,但是,係亦能夠以朝向並非與第2方向相互一致之方向來延伸的方式而形成。Here, as the "first connecting portion", the first connecting portion 20 or the first connecting portion 120 of the first modification example is generally along the first direction (Y1-Y2 direction) as in the first embodiment. It is ideal that the second direction (X1-X2 direction) orthogonal to each other extends over each of the two first transparent electrodes 13 that are to be electrically connected, but as long as it is the same as the first direction The directions where the directions intersect may be directions that are not orthogonal to the first direction. The second transparent electrode 14 is preferably extended along the first direction in the same way as the first connection portion 20 of the above embodiment or the first connection portion 120 of the first modification. However, the second transparent electrode 14 is also preferably extended in the first direction. It can be formed so as to extend in a direction that does not coincide with the second direction.

如此這般,藉由使第1連結部在成為電性連接之對象之2個的第1透明電極13之各者之上而沿著與第1方向相交叉之方向延伸,係能夠將以不會與第2連結部相交叉的方式來作敷設的第1連結部之圖案縮短。故而,係能夠將第1連結部之電阻值降低,而能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。並且,係能夠將第1連結部與第1透明電極13之間的接觸面積擴廣,亦即是能夠將第1連結部之第1連接面擴廣。故而,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。As such, by extending the first connection portion over each of the two first transparent electrodes 13 that are the object of electrical connection, and extending in a direction crossing the first direction, the The pattern of the first connection portion to be laid so as to intersect with the second connection portion is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the resistance value of the first connection portion, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance. In addition, the contact area between the first connection portion and the first transparent electrode 13 can be enlarged, that is, the first connection surface of the first connection portion can be enlarged. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance.

In addition, the first connecting portion 220 on the third pattern 230c on the Y2 side of the insulating layer 230 is formed to extend from the central portion thereof to the first transparent electrode 13 on the Y2 side, whereby Y2 The first transparent electrode 13 on the side and the first connection portion 220 are electrically connected.

在第3變形例中,係除了第2變形例之通孔231、232(第2通孔)之外,更進而被設置有於Z1-Z2方向上而貫通絕緣層230之通孔341、342(第1通孔)。又,第1連結部320,雖然係為在絕緣層230上以包圍第2連結部221之外側的方式而被形成者,但是,係並未如同上述實施形態之第1連結部20、第1變形例之第1連結部120以及第2變形例之第1連結部220一般地而一直延伸至第1透明電極13上,而並未被與第1透明電極13作連接。In the third modification, in addition to the through holes 231 and 232 (second through holes) of the second modification, the through holes 341 and 342 are provided in the Z1-Z2 direction and penetrate the insulating layer 230. (1st through hole). The first connection portion 320 is formed on the insulating layer 230 so as to surround the outer side of the second connection portion 221, but it is not the same as the first connection portion 20 and the first connection portion of the embodiment described above. The first connecting portion 120 of the modified example and the first connecting portion 220 of the second modified example generally extend to the first transparent electrode 13 without being connected to the first transparent electrode 13.

通孔341、342,係分別被形成在與相鄰之2個的第1透明電極13之各者相對應的位置處。進而,2個的通孔341、342係被第1連結部320所覆蓋。藉由此構成,相鄰之2個的第1透明電極13中之Y1側的第1透明電極13係經由其中一方之通孔341而被與第1連結部320作電性連接,Y2側的第1透明電極13係經由另外一方之通孔342而被與第1連結部320作電性連接,藉由此些之連接,相鄰之2個的第1透明電極13係經由第1連結部320而被作電性連接。於此,第1連結部320之下面中的位置於通孔341、342上之面,係成為第1連接面,此第1連接面係位置於第1透明電極13之上側處。進而,藉由對於絕緣層230而除了通孔231、232(第2通孔)之外更進而設置通孔341、342(第1通孔)之構成,由於第1連結部320以及第2連結部221係被配置在一樣的絕緣層230上,因此,圖案形狀之限制係變少,藉由此,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。又,由於係配置在身為略平面之絕緣層230上,因此係能夠以良好精確度來形成第1連結部320以及第2連結部221之圖案。The through holes 341 and 342 are formed at positions corresponding to each of the two adjacent first transparent electrodes 13. Furthermore, the two through holes 341 and 342 are covered by the first connection portion 320. With this configuration, the first transparent electrode 13 on the Y1 side of the two adjacent first transparent electrodes 13 is electrically connected to the first connection portion 320 through one of the through holes 341, and the Y2 side The first transparent electrode 13 is electrically connected to the first connection portion 320 through the other through-hole 342.

Furthermore, the insulating layer 230 has a configuration in which through-holes 341 and 342 (first through-holes) are provided in addition to the through-holes 231 and 232 (second through-holes), because the first connection portion 320 and the second connection Since the part 221 is arranged on the same insulating layer 230, there are fewer restrictions on the shape of the pattern, and by this, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance. Moreover, since it is disposed on the insulating layer 230 which is a substantially flat surface, the patterns of the first connection portion 320 and the second connection portion 221 can be formed with good accuracy.

針對其他之變形例作說明。以下,雖係作為上述實施形態之變形例來作說明,但是,係亦可對於上述第1~第3變形例作適用。Other modifications will be described. The following description is made as a modification example of the above embodiment, but it is also applicable to the first to third modification examples described above.

若是在身為第1透明電極13以及第2透明電極14上之於平面觀察時的去除第1連結部20以及第2連結部21後之區域處,配置含有非晶質氧化物系材料的圖案層,則藉由此圖案層為具有與第1連結部20以及第2連結部21相同之外觀或反射性一事,由於係能夠使第1連結部20以及第2連結部21難以被視覺辨認到,因此係為理想。進而,若是將此圖案層與第1連結部20以及第2連結部21之其中一方作電性連接,並與另外一方之連結部相互絕緣,則係能夠將圖案層所被作配置的透明電極和與其相對應之連結部之間之接觸面積實質性擴廣,藉由此,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。If it is the first transparent electrode 13 and the second transparent electrode 14 in a region where the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21 are removed in a planar view, a pattern containing an amorphous oxide-based material is disposed. Layer, because the pattern layer has the same appearance or reflectivity as the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21, because the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21 are difficult to be visually recognized , So the system is ideal. Further, if this pattern layer is electrically connected to one of the first connection portion 20 and the second connection portion 21 and is insulated from the other connection portion, the transparent electrode in which the pattern layer is disposed can be arranged. The contact area between the connecting portion and the corresponding connecting portion is substantially enlarged, and thus the reduction in the conduction stability and the ESD resistance can be suppressed.

若是在各連接區域15a、15b、16a、16b上,亦同樣的於去除第3連結部22以及第4連結部23後之區域處,配置含有非晶質氧化物系材料的圖案層,則藉由此圖案層為具有與第3連結部22以及第4連結部23相同之外觀或反射性一事,由於係能夠使第3連結部22以及第4連結部23難以被視覺辨認到,因此係為理想。進而,若是將此圖案層與第3連結部22以及第4連結部23分別作電性連接,則係能夠將圖案層所被作配置的連接區域和與其相對應之連結部之間之接觸面積實質性擴廣,藉由此,係能夠對於導通安定性以及ESD耐性之降低作抑制。含有非晶質氧化物系材料之圖案層,係亦可被設置在連接區域15b和第1連接端部15之間以及連接區域16b和第2連接端部16之間。If a pattern layer containing an amorphous oxide-based material is disposed on each of the connection regions 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b, and in the same region after removing the third connection portion 22 and the fourth connection portion 23, borrow Therefore, the pattern layer has the same appearance or reflectivity as the third connection portion 22 and the fourth connection portion 23, and since the third connection portion 22 and the fourth connection portion 23 are difficult to be visually recognized, it is ideal. Furthermore, if this pattern layer is electrically connected to the third connection portion 22 and the fourth connection portion 23, respectively, it is the contact area between the connection area where the pattern layer is arranged and the corresponding connection portion. Substantial expansion can suppress the decrease in the conduction stability and the ESD tolerance. The pattern layer containing an amorphous oxide-based material may be provided between the connection region 15 b and the first connection end portion 15 and between the connection region 16 b and the second connection end portion 16.

較理想,係在相鄰之第1透明電極13和第1導出配線151之間,形成包含非晶質氧化物系材料之第1阻抗設定部,並在相鄰之第2透明電極14和第2導出配線161之間,形成包含非晶質氧化物系材料之第2阻抗設定部。在此構成中,藉由改變第1阻抗設定部以及第2阻抗設定部之圖案面積以及形狀,係能夠使沿著第1方向之第1透明電極13之群(第1電極連結體13C)的阻抗和沿著第2方向之第2透明電極14之群(第2電極連結體14C)的阻抗相互一致。因此,係能夠避免電流集中於單一場所處的情況,而能夠對於ESD耐性之降低作抑制。Preferably, a first impedance setting portion including an amorphous oxide-based material is formed between the adjacent first transparent electrode 13 and the first lead-out wiring 151, and the adjacent second transparent electrode 14 and the first Between the two lead-out wirings 161, a second impedance setting portion including an amorphous oxide-based material is formed. In this configuration, by changing the pattern area and shape of the first impedance setting section and the second impedance setting section, it is possible to make the group of the first transparent electrodes 13 (the first electrode connection body 13C) along the first direction. The impedance and the impedance of the group of the second transparent electrodes 14 (the second electrode connecting body 14C) along the second direction are consistent with each other. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a current is concentrated in a single place, and to suppress a reduction in ESD tolerance.
