Description

M361675 五、新型說明: 【新型所屬之技術領域】 本創作係有關於一種薄膜觸控板,尤指一種可簡化製程又可 擴大觸控板透光範圍之薄膜觸控板者。 【先前技術】 薄膜觸控板係指一種由薄膜(thin film)所組成之透明觸控板 者,如同其他基材(如:印刷電路板/pCB)組成之非透明觸控板一 樣’薄膜表面亦分佈有若干高透光率的導電體可感應手指或導體 接觸時所產生之電性變化(如:電容反應),藉由分析不同位置上的 導電體來得出所接觸之位置。由於薄膜觸控板中薄膜與導電體皆 可透光’故可與一般顯示器(diSpiay)上下組合成具直覺性操作之觸 控面板(touchpanel) ’同時,因其質地較印刷電路板輕盈,故更適 合裝配在各種攜帶型電子產品上’例如:手機M361675 V. New Description: [New Technology Field] This creation is about a film touch panel, especially a film touch panel that simplifies the process and expands the light transmission range of the touch panel. [Prior Art] A film touch panel refers to a transparent touch panel composed of a thin film, like a non-transparent touch panel composed of other substrates (eg, printed circuit board/pCB). A plurality of high-transmittance conductors are also distributed to sense electrical changes (eg, capacitive reactions) that occur when a finger or conductor is in contact, and the position of the contact is obtained by analyzing the electrical conductors at different locations. Since the film and the conductor in the film touch panel can transmit light, it can be combined with a general display (diSpiay) to form an intuitively operated touch panel (at the same time, because the texture is lighter than the printed circuit board) More suitable for assembly on a variety of portable electronic products 'eg mobile phones

、smart phone、PDA 上的觸控螢幕’令該類型產品得以省去螢幕外的鍵盤及游標觸控 £空間,讓產品更加輕薄短小。 目前薄膜觸控板所使用之薄膜多為PET材質之塑膠片,不僅 膠膜的厚度可以做得很薄,同時塑膠薄膜的表面還可以鍍上透明 導電氧化物(Transparent Conductive Oxide, TCO)作為感應用的導 電體’常見的銦氧化錫(IndiumTin0xide,IT0)即是TC〇的一種。 由於金屬原子可以導電,而其氧化後的分子TCO製成的鍍臈又具 有相當透光性’故非常符合薄膜觸控板對導電體低電阻率與高透 光率的需求。 M361675 声敫^者半導體各項技術的發展,攜帶型電子產品勢必將走向高 、夺代’因此,新一代的薄膜觸控板將會越來越薄,TCO 也會持續下降以提供高透光率所帶來的低耗能優勢,同 工、控板的尺寸與導電體分布的密度也會變大,最終使得電 σσ的面積幾乎就等於薄膜觸控板的尺寸。 」而如第i圖所不,傳統的薄膜觸控板的薄膜Μ表面除了内 品1(也手指轉體贼舰C)分佈有導電體1外,内區域外 區B齡佈有導電縣成的轉4以及導路末端的排線接 ‘、將導電體1感應到的電性變化經由排線接點2傳遞至後 續訊號處理元件分析。 无 因此,在財_賴控板製財,係先完成賴Μ上的導 電體1佈置以及其延伸至邊緣區Β的導電體細線3 ,再於邊緣區Β Ρ刷上具有導路4與排線接點2圖案之導電膠。由於早期薄膜觸 控板的尺寸舰迷你,導紐1陳量也从好,PET膠膜與 ^電體1的厚度也還不是很薄;因此,在導電膠印刷的範圍 與用里都*大以及邊緣區B佈線密度不高的情況下,導電膠導路 4的製作過輯產品還微於會有太大的影響H隨著了⑺ 膠膜的製造技術越來越精良,薄膜M與導電體丨厚度越來越薄, 以及觸控板面積越作越大而邊緣區B越來越細的情形下;導電膠 導路4對產品*㈣影響也就越來越_,例如:導轉製程中 烘烤步驟娜朗破壞以及邊賴B佈線紐的限制。 3火、烤過S75是製作導電膠導路4不可或缺的步驟,因為導電 膠的、、且成材料不外乎為:導電粒子、溶劑以及固化物,所以當導 電膠印刷上薄職仍需_烘烤才能使導·巾的關揮發,令 M361675 其:的導電成分(如:銀粒子)比例升高才能使導路4真正導電;也 就是說’烘烤的溫度越高、時間越久,留下的導電成分越高導電 效果就越好。可是,烘烤所使用的高溫將會使得不耐高溫的膠膜 發生形變,而謎彎曲的表面除了造餅f财的細線3與導電 膠導路4容易脆化剝落外,已完成導電體J的部分也會因此發生 導電體1 ®案偏移,導致感應出的電性變化不符合預期結果。而 '且’ #薄膜觸控板所使㈣膠膜或導電體1越薄,膠膜形變與剝 籲落,現象也就越明顯;此外,當薄膜觸控板使用導電膠的範圍與 用里越大(如.尺寸增加以及配合排線接點2位置增加導路*長度 專)供烤所使用的溫度或時間也會增加,連帶的使產品良率大幅 下降。 田 由此可知,如果新一代薄膜觸控板仍舊使用導電膠來製作導 路4,隨著薄臈Μ與導電體!厚度越來越薄或導路4的範圍與用 置跟著觸控板尺寸變大,薄膜觸控板的良率將會受導電膠製程的 影響而大幅下滑。 _ 除此之外,如同第1圖所舉例,當導電體1分佈越來越密導 路4的數量跟著變多,此時,限於導電膠布線密度的極限,導路* 所在的邊緣區B也必須變大,造成產品實際上能感應的區域變 小,透光區域也跟著縮小了。因此,同樣的產品尺寸在使用導電 膠‘路4的薄膜觸控板時,使用者能操控的區域會隨著導電體密 度增加而變小。 • 由此可知,當觸控板尺寸越作越大、薄膜材質與導電膜的厚 度酼著技術發展越來越薄時,舊有的導電膠導路4設計不僅會使 產品的良率大幅下降,產品的使用區與透光區也無法跟著擴大的 M361675 觸控板尺寸增加,造成觸控板成本的浪費以及形成笨重的觸控板 外觀。 雖然’多數廠商在以黑框遮蔽邊緣的不透光導路4時,一併 將頂板邊緣凸起或是在頂板黑框的下方塗佈一層銀膠’令手指或 導體碰觸到邊緣區時不致於對下方的銀導路產生錯誤的電性反 應,形成觸碰位置的誤判,以令頂板的立體框或黑框除了遮蔽效 •用外還具有保護電路的功能。不過,不管是邊緣凸起或是平面黑 鲁框的设计,還是不能改變觸控區縮小與邊緣區加大的成本浪費以 及笨重外型。 ' 因此,如果可以減少導電膠的使用範圍或是更甚者免去導電 膠的製程,塑膠薄膜發生形變的機率將變小,產品的良率也會大 大提升,而大幅降低的導電膠製程成本也可以提升產品的市場競 爭率。又,若連接導電體1與排線接點2之導路4可以使用透明 的材質,不需要另加一層黑框遮瑕頂板’則整個薄膜觸控板都是 透明的,將使得薄膜觸控板的外觀設計不再被黑框限制而更具有 # 可看性。 而且,如果可以於薄膜上邊緣區B設置透明的接地導電膜, 則其下方的連接走線或是薄膜下方的電路將可獲得保護,不會受 到手指或導體的電性影響而產生誤判。 因此,如何能簡化製程成本及減少導電膠之使用,又,得以 避免薄臈產生形變、提高產品良率與優勢競爭力,係為本創作人 致力達成之目標。 M361675 【新型内容】 為解決上述習知技術使用上的問題,本創作提出一種薄膜觸 控板(也111〇111^011(:]1?_’其至少包括:一可透光絕緣體薄膜,其 中該薄膜之上表面係供以一個以上手指或導體於其上方區域接 • 近,且其下表面内區域設有一個以上感應部感應該手指或導體接 近所形成之電性變化,以及其内區域外之邊緣處設有一個以上接 -合^便與後續之峨處理元件電性連接。其中,域應部主要 •材貝為透明導電氧化物(Transparent Conductive Oxide, TCO),且可 延伸至該薄膜下表面之邊緣處,並得以繼續沿著邊緣延伸至與該 接合部電性連接。 、/ 本創作之主要目的倾供—種可簡錄紅細觸控板。由 於上述销應部可延伸至表面邊緣並得以賴延伸至該接合部, 故並不需要先前專利所述之導電科路製程,亦可以完成與排線 接點之連接。雌感應部所有的部分可選擇糊—咖圖 的過程中完成,不僅節省了製程成本也提高了產品的良率。 2叙再-目的雜供—射歓透絲社薄 t專感應部於邊緣的部她是tc_,故本創作 峨㈣_物域,w要先前專利 薄ίίίΓΓ糕狀鹤或雜,使_難板的厚度更加 溥並4去框架或黑框之製程與成本。 板乍之又目的係提供—種具有邊緣電性防護之薄膜觸押 板。其中,_膜上又另具有至4 鬚觸控 膜之上表面並電接—接地端, ==部,位於該薄 防護層。 戚、有保護邊緣電路之電磁波 M361675 本創作之3 -目的係提供—種具有邊緣電性防護之薄翻控 板。其中’該_上又另具有至少—個τ接地賴部,位於該薄 膜之下表面並電接—接地端,形成__具有保護邊緣電路之電磁波 防護層。 為使本創作之結構與優點能有更清楚明瞭之圖像,以下提供 最佳實施例與相關圖式詳細說明。 【實施方式】 本創作薄膜觸控板第-實施例如第2八至2(:圖所示,至少包 括:-透明絕緣體薄膜A,其係具有上、下兩表面Α1〇、Α2〇,供 以-個以上手指或導體於其上表面操作進行輸入動作,而其 下表面A2G則具有-個以上感應部^以及—個以上接合部12。 其中,該感應部11可感應該手指或導體接近時之電性變化,並經 由該接合部12將該雜變化傳送至賴輯處理元魏行分析。 其中,第2C圖所示為帛2Α ®之正面俯視圖,該感應部η係主 要分佈於内區域之感應區C,而該接合部12係設置於感應區c外 侧之邊緣區B ;同時,該感應部n可延伸至邊緣區B並可繼續沿 著邊緣區B與該接合部12電接,以便將其感制的該手指或導體 產生之電性變化送出。 由於本創作之該感應部11以及其延伸之邊緣區B部分皆為透 明導電氧化物(Transparent Conductive Oxide, TCO)材質,除使本創 作薄膜觸控板之感應區C以及邊緣區b皆可具有高透光率外,該 薄膜之製雜序將得以簡化。轉財的τα)細製程,於感應 區C的TCO圖案完成後’還需進入邊緣區Β的導電膠印刷過程, M361675 整個TCO _舰才得㈣成。在柄射,該_表面上的所 有TCO圖案皆可於同一步驟中完成,省去邊緣區的導 f,丨不僅節省印刷與材料成本,更重要的是免去該薄翻導電= 產4率,以及省切程的機11成本與環境維護成 本。本創作中的該接合部12亦可同為TCO材質,令該薄膜Α上 圖案製程中完成,更加省略導電膠製程 以及其所&成的產σσ良率下降與成本增加。 t創作之第二實施例如第3Α至3C圖所示,在該薄膜Α之上 表面邊緣區B另設有—似上具導電體之上接地保護部13。其 :,該上接地倾部13之範圍可涵蓋其下方域應部n延伸至 緣區B之部分,以及或該接合部u㈣免該手指轉體對上述 = 性反應影響接觸位置的判斷。由於#該手指或導體接 '、、’區Β時’可能會—次觸酬好紐賊應部1卜這與接 ^應區C的結果是不同的;如第3C圖所舉例,該感應部、11 感應區C部分細橫狀條浙佈,以辨識出不_丫軸接觸位 ,’不^其延伸部分,所有的該感應部n縮小為複數條細線擠在 :里緣:Μ,故該手指或導體接觸邊緣_時會造成後續 减處理疋件對接觸位置的誤判。 該上接地保護部13還可以與接地端電接,以增加其電磁、皮防 護之功能,其涵絲__形式也不蚊於上述之範圍與形 二可以為TC〇膜、導電膠、或金屬膜,且其圖案形式可 宜L主、膜、毅膜、翻格,令邊雜B透光率增加或增強 紅特疋頻段電磁波之防護功能。 本創作之第三實施例如第4A至4C圖所示,在該薄膜A之下 M361675 緣區B另設有-個以上具導電體之下接 接地保護部Η财以她_接;射,該下 其涵蓋範圍可包括:除了人# 9力,、電磁波防護之功能, 分外之區域,使該下:::::=卩— 導體之影響,錢該_ Α上方若=受該手指或 下方電路之電磁聽護。該下接地倾部m,=其對,自 Ϊ網膜’且其圖案形式可為機狀膜、莫空膜、 令邊緣區B透光率增加或增強某些特定頻段電磁波之防 另本創作中之薄膜A,其感應^M1在感應Μ之分佈不一定 如第2C圖所示為橫條狀分佈,亦可以為點狀鱗分佈,以作為鍵 盤、按鍵選項或是二維矩陣接觸位置之輸入用。 第5圖所示為該薄膜觸控板之第四實施例,其中,該薄膜a 的上表面A10置中處設有一個以上第一感應部31感應該手指或導 體所形成之電性變化,以及其上表面邊緣處設有一個以上第一接 _合部32糾織續之訊號處理元件雜連接。該第—感應部31 亦為透明導電氧化物(Transparent Conductive Oxide, TCO),且可延 伸至該薄膜A上表面之邊緣處,並得以繼續沿著邊緣延伸至與該 第一接合部32電性連接。如此’該第一感應部31與該感應部u 刀佈的方式可以不同,例如:該第一感應部31可以行(column)向 排列而該感應部11可以列(row)向排列,分別用以偵測X軸與γ . 軸之接觸位置。 或是如第6圖所示之第五實施例,該薄膜觸控板除該薄膜A 外又包括:一第一薄膜F置於該薄膜A之上方,其材質為透明絕 M361675 緣體且其下表面置中處設有一個以上第一感應部3】感應該手指 或導體所形成之·變化,以及其下表面邊緣處設有一個以上第 、接a P 32用以與後續之訊號處理元件電性連接,同時,該第一 感應 ^ 31 為透明導電氧化物(Transparent Conductive Oxide, γο) ’且可延伸至該第—薄鮮下表面之邊緣處,並得以繼續沿 著邊緣延伸至触第—接合部32電性連接。如此,該第一感應部 31與該感應部11分佈的方式可以不同,例如:該第-感應部31 #可以縱(C〇1_)向排列而該感應部11可以橫(row)向排列,分別用 以偵測X軸與γ軸之接觸位置。 又如第7 ®所示之第六實施例’該薄麵控板除該薄膜A外 又包括.-絕緣膠層(5設於該薄膜八之下表面,·以及一第二薄膜 S設於該絕緣縣G下方,其材f為透親緣體,且其上表面置 中處設有-個以上第二感應部41感應該手指或導體所形成之電性 變化,以及其上表面邊緣處設有一個以上第二接合部42用以與後 續之訊號處理元件電性連接,同時,該第二感應部41為透明導電 鲁軋化物(Transparent Conductive Oxide, TCO),且可延伸至該第二薄 膜S上表面之邊緣處,並得以繼續沿著邊緣延伸至與該第二接合 部42電性連接。如此,該第二感應部41與該感應部u分佈的方 式可以不同,例如:該第一感應部41可以縱(c〇lumn)向排列而該 感應部11可以橫(row)向排列’分別用以偵測X軸與γ軸之接觸 位置。該絕緣膠層G不一定為充滿絕緣膠之空間,亦可以點狀分 佈絕緣膠。 上述透明導電氧化物(Transparent Conductive Oxide, TCO)材 質應用並不侷限於目前業界常用之銦氧化錫(ΙΤ0),也可以是氧化 M3 61675 鋅摻鋁(AZO) ’或是其他金屬氧化物。 此外,該接合部12、該第一接合部32或該第二接合部42連 接後續訊號處理排線時,可包括:一層TCO以及一層導電膠,以 便於使用異方性導電貧(Anis〇tr〇pic Conductive Paste,ACP)或異方 性導電膜(Anisotropic Conductive Film, ACF)建立垂直方向之導電 線路時,提供多一層防護避免ACP/ACF中的金屬顆粒對TC〇層 造成磨損。 綜上所述,依上述實施方式與結構確能達到本創作之目的與 作用’且本_未見於其他公開專雜實際應贿品中,亦符合 新型專利要件,纽法提出申請,謹請獲准專利,是所至盼。 上述實施例與圖式為應用本創作構想之舉例,並不因此侷限 本創作之專·圍,任何依本創作構想延伸應用或修飾改變,在 不脫離本創作之等效_τ,均應包含在摘作之權力範圍内, 合予陳明。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖絲前技射個導電膠作為連接_表面導電體與後續 訊號處理元件之圖式說明。 第2Α圖係本創作㈣—實施例_結構之縱向剖面示意圖。 第2Β圖係本創作中第—實關_結構之橫向剖面示意圖。 第2C圖係本創作中第—實施例_表面佈線之示音圖。 圖係本創作中第二實施例_結構之縱向:二圖。 3Β _本創作中第二實施_騎構之橫向剖面示意圖。 12 M361675 第3C圖係本創作中第二實施例薄膜表面佈線之示意圖。 第4A圖係本創作中第三實施例薄膜結構之縱向剖面示 第4B圖係本創作中第三實施例薄膜結構之橫向剖面示=圖。 第4C圖係本創作中第三實施例薄膜表面佈線之示音^圖。 第5圖係本創作中第四實施例薄膜結構之縱向剖面示音圖 第6圖係本創作中第五實施例薄膜觸控板結構之縱向^面。 第7圖係本_巾第六實施例薄_控板結構之縱㈣==意圖 【主要元件符號說明】 C ·感應區 G:絕緣膠層 Α2〇 :薄膜之下表面 2.連接排線接點 12 :接合部 32 :第一接合部 42 :第二接合部 14 :下接地保護部 A:薄膜 B:邊緣區 F:第一薄膜 S:第二薄膜 Μ:具導電膠導路之薄膜 Α10 :薄膜之上表面 I : X轴向導電體 • 3:延伸至邊緣之導電體細線 4:導電膠導路 II :感應部 31 :第一感應部 41 :第二感應部 13 :上接地保護部 13The smart phone on the smart phone and PDA makes this type of product save the keyboard and cursor touch space outside the screen, making the product lighter and shorter. At present, the film used in the film touch panel is mostly a plastic sheet of PET material, and the thickness of the film can be made thin, and the surface of the plastic film can also be plated with Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO). The applied electrical conductor 'Indium Tin Oxide (IT0) is a kind of TC〇. Since the metal atom can conduct electricity, and the oxidized molecular TCO has a relatively high light transmittance, it is very suitable for the low resistivity and high transmittance of the conductor touch panel. M361675 The development of various technologies of the sonar, the portable electronic products are bound to go high and win the generation. Therefore, the new generation of thin film touch panels will become thinner and thinner, and the TCO will continue to drop to provide high light transmission. The low energy consumption advantage brought by the rate, the size of the co-worker, the control board and the distribution of the conductor are also increased, and finally the area of the electric σσ is almost equal to the size of the film touch panel. As shown in Figure i, the film surface of the conventional film touch panel has a conductive body 1 in addition to the inner product 1 (also a finger-turned thief ship C). The turn 4 and the wire end of the guide end are connected, and the electrical change induced by the conductor 1 is transmitted to the subsequent signal processing component through the wire contact 2 for analysis. Therefore, in the financial management, the control panel is used to complete the arrangement of the conductor 1 on the Lai and the conductor thin wire 3 extending to the edge region, and then the guide 4 and the row on the edge region. Wire contact 2 pattern of conductive adhesive. Due to the size of the early film touch panel, the size of the guide button 1 is also good, and the thickness of the PET film and the electric body 1 is not very thin; therefore, the range and the use of the conductive adhesive printing are large. And when the edge region B wiring density is not high, the conductive rubber guide 4 has a slightly smaller effect on the production of the product. With the (7) film manufacturing technology is more and more sophisticated, the film M and conductive The thickness of the body is getting thinner and thinner, and the area of the touchpad is getting bigger and the edge area B is getting thinner; the conductive adhesive guide 4 is more and more affected by the product*(4), for example: conduction In the process of baking, Nalang destroys and limits the B wiring. 3 fire, baked S75 is an indispensable step in the production of conductive adhesive guide 4, because the conductive adhesive, and the material is nothing more than: conductive particles, solvents and cured materials, so when the conductive adhesive printing on the thin post It is necessary to bake in order to volatilize the guide towel, so that the proportion of the conductive component (such as silver particles) of M361675 is increased to make the guide 4 truly conductive; that is, the higher the baking temperature and the longer the time The higher the conductive component left, the better the conductive effect. However, the high temperature used for baking will cause the film which is not resistant to high temperature to be deformed, and the surface of the mysterious curved surface has completed the electric conductor J except that the thin wire 3 of the cake and the conductive rubber guide 4 are easily embrittled and peeled off. The portion of the conductor 1 ® will also be offset, resulting in an induced electrical change that does not meet the expected results. The 'and' #膜触摸板 makes (4) the thinner the film or conductor 1, the deformation and peeling of the film, the more obvious the phenomenon; in addition, when the film touchpad uses conductive adhesive range and use The larger (such as the increase in size and the increase in the length of the guide wire * with the position of the wire 2), the temperature or time used for baking will increase, and the associated product yield will be greatly reduced. Tian knows that if the new generation of film touch panels still use conductive adhesive to make the guide 4, along with the thin turns and the conductor! As the thickness becomes thinner or the range of the guide 4 and the size of the guide track become larger, the yield of the film touch panel will be greatly reduced by the influence of the conductive adhesive process. _ In addition, as exemplified in Fig. 1, when the number of conductors 1 is more and more dense, the number of the guides 4 is increased. At this time, it is limited to the limit of the density of the conductive paste, and the edge region B where the guides * are located. It must also become larger, resulting in a smaller area where the product can actually be sensed, and the light-transmissive area is also reduced. Therefore, the same product size when using the conductive adhesive 'Channel 4's thin film touch panel, the area that the user can control becomes smaller as the density of the conductor increases. • It can be seen that when the size of the touch panel is larger and the thickness of the film material and the conductive film is becoming thinner and thinner, the old conductive rubber guide 4 design not only greatly reduces the yield of the product. The product's use area and light transmission area can not increase with the size of the enlarged M361675 touchpad, resulting in waste of the cost of the touchpad and the appearance of a bulky touchpad. Although 'most manufacturers are wearing a black frame to cover the edge of the opaque guide 4, and the edge of the top plate is raised or a layer of silver glue is applied under the black frame of the top plate to make the finger or conductor touch the edge area. It does not cause an erroneous electrical reaction to the underlying silver guide path, resulting in a misjudgment of the touch position, so that the stereo frame or the black frame of the top plate has the function of protecting the circuit in addition to the shielding effect. However, whether it is a raised edge or a flat black frame design, it is not possible to change the cost reduction and the cumbersome appearance of the touch area reduction and edge area increase. Therefore, if the use range of the conductive adhesive can be reduced or the process of the conductive adhesive can be eliminated, the probability of deformation of the plastic film will be small, the yield of the product will be greatly improved, and the cost of the conductive adhesive process can be greatly reduced. It can also increase the market competition rate of products. Moreover, if the conductive path 1 is connected to the conductive path 1 and the guiding line 4 of the wiring contact 2, a transparent material can be used, and no additional black frame is needed to conceal the top plate. The entire film touch panel is transparent, which will make the film touch panel. The design is no longer limited by the black frame and is more visible. Moreover, if a transparent grounding conductive film can be provided on the upper edge region B of the film, the wiring below the wiring or the circuit under the film can be protected from being misinterpreted by the electrical influence of the finger or the conductor. Therefore, how to simplify the process cost and reduce the use of conductive adhesive, and to avoid the deformation of thin and thin, improve product yield and competitive advantage, is the goal that the creators are committed to. M361675 [New content] In order to solve the above problems in the use of the prior art, the present invention proposes a thin film touch panel (also 111〇111^011(:]1?_' which at least includes: a light transmissive insulator film, wherein The upper surface of the film is provided with more than one finger or conductor in the upper area thereof, and the inner surface of the lower surface is provided with more than one sensing portion to sense the electrical change formed by the proximity of the finger or the conductor, and the inner region thereof.
