Description

觸控面板及其製造方法 Touch panel and method of manufacturing same

本發明有關於一種觸控技術,且特別是一種觸控面板及其製造方法。 The invention relates to a touch technology, and in particular to a touch panel and a manufacturing method thereof.

近年來隨著觸控面板的技術發展,觸控面板已廣泛地運用於各類電子裝置中,例如手機、手提電腦以及掌上型電腦等。觸控面板(touch panel)一般會與顯示面板(display panel)相整合為觸控顯示螢幕,以作為電子裝置的輸入輸出介面,達到觸控顯示功能。據此,使用者可透過手指或觸控物件(如觸控筆)觸碰觸控顯示螢幕來控制電子裝置,以對應操控電子裝置。 In recent years, with the development of touch panel technology, touch panels have been widely used in various electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptop computers, and palmtop computers. The touch panel is generally integrated with the display panel as a touch display screen to serve as an input/output interface of the electronic device to achieve a touch display function. Accordingly, the user can touch the touch display screen through a finger or a touch object (such as a stylus) to control the electronic device to correspondingly operate the electronic device.

現行觸控面板的觸控感應電路,一般是製作於導電薄膜或是單片導電玻璃(One ITO Glass)上。具體地說,觸控感應電路的多個感測電極的觸控陣列通常佈設於導電薄膜或是單片導電玻璃的可視區域,而周邊引線則是佈設於導電薄膜或是單片導電玻璃的周邊區域。習知導電薄膜係利用異向性導電膠(Anisotropic conductive film,ACF)透過熱壓合方式與可撓式軟性印刷電路板(Flexible Print Circuit Board,FPC)相黏合。藉此,透過設於導電薄膜上連接觸控陣列的周邊引線電路來與軟性印刷電路板上相對應的引線電路相連,以將感測信號傳至後端偵測判斷電路。 The touch sensing circuit of the current touch panel is generally fabricated on a conductive film or a single piece of conductive glass (One ITO Glass). Specifically, the touch array of the plurality of sensing electrodes of the touch sensing circuit is usually disposed on the conductive film or the visible area of the single conductive glass, and the peripheral leads are disposed on the periphery of the conductive film or the single conductive glass. region. Conventional conductive films are bonded to a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) by means of an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) through a thermocompression bonding method. Thereby, the peripheral lead circuit connected to the touch array disposed on the conductive film is connected to the corresponding lead circuit on the flexible printed circuit board to transmit the sensing signal to the back end detection judging circuit.

然而,導電薄膜通常是使用聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯薄膜(PET Film)的材料,所能承受的溫度較低,故而在導電薄膜與可撓式軟性印刷電路板的貼合過程中,容易因壓合產生應力而使導電薄膜引起變形,導致水波紋問題。具體地說,在導電薄膜之周邊區域 上佈設間距過大的銀線線路,導電薄膜會於貼合過程中因引線區域與非引線區域的貼合膠固化收縮率不同形成應力,而在高溫下牽拉上下層的導電薄膜引起其表面不平整。據此,當外部投射的可見光通過導電薄膜時,會因導電薄膜表面不平整而產生不同的干涉現象,進而會在可視區域與周邊區域之間形成一串凹凸不平的水波紋,造成視覺上的差異。再者,隨著可視區域的擴大,使引線線路與可視區域之間的距離越來越近,水波紋的現象就會越明顯,降低了觸控面板的良率。 However, the conductive film is usually a material using a polyethylene terephthalate film (PET film), which can withstand a relatively low temperature, so that in the process of bonding the conductive film to the flexible flexible printed circuit board, It is easy to cause deformation of the conductive film due to stress generated by press-bonding, resulting in water ripple problems. Specifically, in the peripheral region of the conductive film The silver wire line with an excessively large pitch is disposed on the upper surface, and the conductive film forms a stress due to the difference in the curing shrinkage ratio of the bonding material between the lead portion and the non-lead region during the bonding process, and the conductive film of the upper and lower layers is pulled at a high temperature to cause the surface to be not smooth. Accordingly, when the externally projected visible light passes through the conductive film, different interference phenomena are generated due to the uneven surface of the conductive film, and a series of rugged water ripples are formed between the visible area and the peripheral area, thereby causing visual appearance. difference. Moreover, as the visible area is enlarged, the distance between the lead line and the visible area is getting closer and closer, and the phenomenon of water ripple is more obvious, which reduces the yield of the touch panel.

有鑑於此,本發明實施例提供一種觸控面板及其製造方法,可透過於觸控面板上非可視區內佈設多條延伸導線,來使每條引線間的間距縮短,以均勻地撐起導電薄膜,避免發生因導電薄膜表面不平整,產生不同干涉現象,而於可視區域與周邊區域之間形成水波紋,影響顯示品質。 In view of the above, the embodiment of the invention provides a touch panel and a manufacturing method thereof, which can reduce the spacing between each lead by uniformly arranging a plurality of extending wires on the non-visible area of the touch panel to uniformly support The conductive film avoids the occurrence of different interference phenomena due to the unevenness of the surface of the conductive film, and forms a water ripple between the visible area and the surrounding area, which affects the display quality.

The number of the leads 17 may be defined according to the number of sensing electrode shafts 131 in the touch array, which is not limited in this embodiment.

接著,如圖2所示,每條引線17的延伸導線177為一條狀導線,且每條引線17的延伸導線177具相同的高度。每一條引線17的延伸導線177沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向的長度L係大於對應的第二端子部175沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向的長度。引線17的延伸導線177沿基板11的第一軸向DE1的長度L大於或等於觸控陣列中該些感測電極軸131沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向的長度。引線17的延伸導線177沿基板11的第二軸向DE2方向的長度則是小於或等於第二端子部175沿基板11的第二軸向DE2方向的長度。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the extended wires 177 of each of the leads 17 are strip-shaped wires, and the extended wires 177 of each of the leads 17 have the same height. The length L of the extended wire 177 of each of the lead wires 17 in the first axial direction DE1 direction of the substrate 11 is greater than the length of the corresponding second terminal portion 175 in the first axial direction DE1 direction of the substrate 11. The length L of the extended wire 177 of the lead 17 along the first axial direction DE1 of the substrate 11 is greater than or equal to the length of the sensing electrode axis 131 in the touch array along the first axial direction DE1 of the substrate 11. The length of the extended wire 177 of the lead 17 in the second axial direction DE2 of the substrate 11 is less than or equal to the length of the second terminal portion 175 in the second axial direction DE2 of the substrate 11.

任兩相鄰的延伸導線177之間的間距W是小於位於這兩條延伸導線177下方的兩個第二端子部175之間的間距。於實務上,任兩相鄰的延伸導線177之間的間距W小於1.4毫米(mm),較佳係介於0.2毫米至1.4毫米之間。每一條引線17的延伸導線177沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向的長度L於本實施例是大於兩相鄰的延伸導線177之間的間距W。 The spacing W between any two adjacent extension wires 177 is smaller than the spacing between the two second terminal portions 175 located below the two extension wires 177. In practice, the spacing W between any two adjacent extension wires 177 is less than 1.4 millimeters (mm), preferably between 0.2 millimeters and 1.4 millimeters. The length L of the extended wire 177 of each of the leads 17 in the first axial direction DE1 of the substrate 11 is greater than the spacing W between the two adjacent extended wires 177 in this embodiment.

於一實施方式中,當兩相鄰之延伸導線177之間的間距介於0.2毫米至1.4毫米之間時,各延伸導線177沿第一軸向DE1方向的長度L係介於1.8倍的間距W至29倍的間距W之間。換言之,當兩相鄰之延伸導線177之間的間距W介於0.2毫米至1.4毫米之間時,各延伸導線177沿第一軸向DE1方向的長度L與兩相鄰之延伸導線177之間的間距W的比值是介於1.8~29之間。 In one embodiment, when the distance between two adjacent extended wires 177 is between 0.2 mm and 1.4 mm, the length L of each of the extended wires 177 along the first axial direction DE1 is 1.8 times the pitch. W to 29 times the spacing between W. In other words, when the spacing W between two adjacent extending wires 177 is between 0.2 mm and 1.4 mm, the length L of each of the extending wires 177 along the first axial direction DE1 and between the two adjacent extending wires 177 The ratio of the pitch W is between 1.8 and 29.

而於另一實施方式中,當兩相鄰之延伸導線177之間的間距W介於0.2毫米至0.4毫米之間時,各延伸導線177沿第一軸向DE1方向的長度L係介於9倍的間距W至29倍的間距W之間。換言之,當兩相鄰之延伸導線177之間的間距W介於0.2毫米至 0.4毫米之間時,各延伸導線177沿第一軸向DE1方向的長度L與兩相鄰之延伸導線177之間的間距W的比值係介於9~29之間。 In another embodiment, when the spacing W between two adjacent extending wires 177 is between 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm, the length L of each of the extending wires 177 along the first axis in the DE1 direction is between 9. The spacing is between W and 29 times the spacing W. In other words, when the spacing W between two adjacent extended wires 177 is between 0.2 mm and The ratio of the length L of each of the extension wires 177 in the DE1 direction of the first axis to the pitch W between the adjacent extension wires 177 is between 9 and 29 between 0.4 mm.

所述延伸導線177沿第一軸向DE1方向的長度L亦可以是依據相鄰之第一端子部171之間的間距(例如距離d1)來設置,其中第一端子部171是用以連接後端偵測電路的連接接墊。每條引線17與可視區域13之間的距離為d2。所述距離d2可依據所需可視區域13的面積大小與引線17的佈設面積需求來調整。於本實施例中,所述距離d2較佳係介於0.2毫米與0.4毫米之間。 The length L of the extension wire 177 along the first axial direction DE1 may also be set according to the spacing (for example, the distance d1) between the adjacent first terminal portions 171, wherein the first terminal portion 171 is used for connection. The connection pad of the terminal detection circuit. The distance between each lead 17 and the visible area 13 is d2. The distance d2 can be adjusted according to the size of the area of the desired visible area 13 and the layout area requirement of the lead wires 17. In the present embodiment, the distance d2 is preferably between 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm.

值得注意的是,習知因相鄰引線17靠近可視區域的一端之間的間距過大,而使得設有觸控陣列及多條引線17的基板11於壓合過程中因引線區域與非引線區域的黏合膠固化收縮率不同,引起基板11表面不平整。當外部投射的可見光通過基板11時,會因導電薄膜表面不平整而產生不同的干涉現象,進而會在可視區域13與周邊區域15之間形成一串凹凸不平的水波紋,造成視覺上的差異。故由可視區域的擴增而縮短引線17與可視區域13之間的距離d2,例如距離d2小於0.4毫米時,可視區域與周邊區域之間的水波紋的現象即會越來越明顯,影響顯示品質。 It should be noted that the spacing between the ends of the adjacent lead wires 17 near the visible region is too large, so that the substrate 11 provided with the touch array and the plurality of leads 17 is subjected to the lead region and the non-lead region during the pressing process. The adhesive has different curing shrinkage rates, causing the surface of the substrate 11 to be uneven. When the externally projected visible light passes through the substrate 11, different interference phenomena may occur due to the uneven surface of the conductive film, and a series of rugged water ripples may be formed between the visible region 13 and the peripheral region 15 to cause a visual difference. . Therefore, the distance d2 between the lead 17 and the visible area 13 is shortened by the expansion of the visible area. For example, when the distance d2 is less than 0.4 mm, the phenomenon of water ripple between the visible area and the surrounding area becomes more and more obvious, affecting the display. quality.

據此,本實施例藉由增設延伸導線177以均勻地支撐設有觸控陣列及多條引線的基板11,有效避免基板11於壓合過程中因引線區域與非引線區域的黏合膠固化收縮不同而引起透明導電膜表面不平整。當外部投射的可見光通過基板11時,會因導電薄膜表面不平整而產生不同的干涉現象,進而形成水波紋。從而,即便可視區域13的面積擴增,使引線17鄰近於可視區域13一端與可視區域之間的距離小於0.4毫米,也不會有水波紋現象產生。據此,本發明可解決透明基板11於壓合中因膠合固化收縮不同而造成表面不平整,導致因光線干涉不同產生水波紋的問題,且在可視區域13的面積擴增下,仍得以維持可視區域13的顯示品質。 Accordingly, in this embodiment, the extension lead 177 is added to uniformly support the substrate 11 provided with the touch array and the plurality of leads, thereby effectively preventing the substrate 11 from curing and shrinking due to the bonding of the lead region and the non-lead region during the pressing process. The surface of the transparent conductive film is not flat due to the difference. When the externally projected visible light passes through the substrate 11, different interference phenomena may occur due to uneven surface of the conductive film, thereby forming water ripples. Thus, even if the area of the visible area 13 is enlarged, the distance between the end of the lead 17 adjacent to the visible area 13 and the visible area is less than 0.4 mm, and no water ripple phenomenon occurs. Accordingly, the present invention can solve the problem that the transparent substrate 11 is surface uneven due to different curing and shrinkage in the press-bonding, resulting in water ripple due to different light interference, and is maintained under the area expansion of the visible region 13. The display quality of the visible area 13.

附帶一提的是,如圖2所示,本實施例之揭示的延伸導線177 為單一條條狀導線。然而,在實務上,每一條延伸導線177可包括多條沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向呈一直線排列之線段。該些延伸導線177可佈設於相對應的該第二端子部175的上方,且該些延伸導線177的至少其中一部份與第二端子部175重疊。該與第二端子部175重疊之延伸導線177並與第二端子部175電性連接該些延伸導線177之間的間距係介於0.2毫米至1.4毫米之間。 Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2, the extended wire 177 disclosed in this embodiment is attached. It is a single strip of wire. However, in practice, each of the extension wires 177 may include a plurality of line segments arranged in a line along the first axial direction DE1 of the substrate 11. The extension wires 177 can be disposed above the corresponding second terminal portions 175, and at least a portion of the extension wires 177 overlap the second terminal portions 175. The distance between the extension wire 177 overlapping the second terminal portion 175 and the second terminal portion 175 electrically connecting the extension wires 177 is between 0.2 mm and 1.4 mm.

特別說明的是,只要使延伸導線177沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向的總長度大於第二端子部175沿第一軸向DE1方向的長度,並縮短相鄰引線17鄰近於可視區域13一端之間的間距即可達到透過延伸導線175均勻地撐起佈設有引線17的基板11的目的。此外,延伸導線177的形狀亦可依據實際設計需求為矩形狀或其他幾何形狀,只要使延伸導線177的寬度(即延伸導線177沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向的長度)大於或等於觸控陣列中該些感測電極軸131的寬度(即感測電極軸131沿基板11的第一軸向DE1方向的長度)即可。 Specifically, the total length of the extended wire 177 in the first axial direction DE1 of the substrate 11 is greater than the length of the second terminal portion 175 in the first axial direction DE1, and the adjacent lead 17 is shortened adjacent to the visible region 13 The spacing between one end can achieve the purpose of uniformly propping up the substrate 11 on which the leads 17 are laid by the extension wires 175. In addition, the shape of the extension wire 177 may also be rectangular or other geometric shape according to actual design requirements, as long as the width of the extension wire 177 (ie, the length of the extension wire 177 along the first axial direction DE1 of the substrate 11) is greater than or equal to the touch. The width of the sensing electrode shaft 131 in the array (ie, the length of the sensing electrode shaft 131 along the first axial direction DE1 of the substrate 11) may be used.

如前述,引線17的第一端子部171、導線部173及第二端子部175與延伸導線177在製程上是分開形成於基板11上。舉例來說,每條引線17的第一端子部171、導線部173以及第二端子部175可以是以同一道工序先形成於基板11上周邊區域15內,其中所述工序可以是印刷製程工序。而後,於每條引線17的第二端子部175的上方以另一道印刷製程工序形成延伸導線177。 As described above, the first terminal portion 171, the lead portion 173, and the second terminal portion 175 of the lead 17 are formed separately from the extension lead 177 on the substrate 11 in the process. For example, the first terminal portion 171, the lead portion 173, and the second terminal portion 175 of each lead 17 may be formed in the upper peripheral region 15 of the substrate 11 in the same process, wherein the process may be a printing process . Then, an extension wire 177 is formed over the second terminal portion 175 of each lead 17 by another printing process.

而後,於周邊區域15對應的保護蓋板25上佈設一層遮蔽層23,覆蓋周邊區域15該些引線17。具體地說,遮蔽層23可直接透過塗佈油墨或光阻方式形成一黑色矩陣(Black Matrix)於保護蓋板25的下表面,以遮蔽該些引線17,避免該些引線17被顯現出來。於其他實施方式中,遮蔽層23可以佈設在保護蓋板25的上表面。例如,可以是設置於一透明基材上,再將該透明基材貼合於保護蓋板25的下表面。遮蔽層23的材料包括油墨或光阻等,本實施例並不限制。 Then, a shielding layer 23 is disposed on the protective cover 25 corresponding to the peripheral region 15 to cover the lead wires 17 of the peripheral region 15. Specifically, the shielding layer 23 can directly form a black matrix on the lower surface of the protective cover 25 through the coating ink or the photoresist to shield the leads 17 from being exposed. In other embodiments, the shielding layer 23 may be disposed on the upper surface of the protective cover 25. For example, it may be disposed on a transparent substrate, and the transparent substrate may be attached to the lower surface of the protective cover 25. The material of the shielding layer 23 includes ink or photoresist, etc., and the embodiment is not limited.

The lead wire 35 is electrically connected between the back end detecting circuit (not shown) and the touch array (not shown), wherein the back end detecting circuit can be realized by a detecting chip. Each of the lead wires 35 includes a first terminal portion 351, a wire portion 353, and a second terminal portion 355.
