- 1 is a transparent conductive film
- 2 is an input pen
- 3 is a bus bar
- 4 is an upper electrode
- 5 is a lower electrode. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 12, by pressing a part of the surface of the transparent touch panel with the input pen 2 from the input surface side, for example, the upper electrode 4 side, the transparent conductive film 1 is formed.
- the input electrodes 4 and 5 are brought into contact with each other to make them electrically conductive to perform an input operation, and the input information is transmitted to a predetermined device via the bus bar 3.
- the transparent touch panel according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a lower electrode 5 composed of a transparent conductive film 1 provided on the surface of a lower electrode substrate 15.
- the upper electrode 4 composed of the transparent conductive film 1 provided on the surface of the upper electrode substrate 14 is laminated so as to be separated by a number of spacers 10.
- the spacer 10 for example, a spacer having a diameter of 20 to 100 / m, a height of 4 to 25 ⁇ m, and an interval between the spacers 10 of 1 to 5 mm is used.
- the spacer is usually formed on the surface of the upper or lower electrode.
- Each of the lower electrode substrate and the upper electrode substrate of the above embodiment has heat resistance.
- a plastic substrate or a glass substrate having excellent transparency for example, as a plastic substrate, a polycarbonate resin, a polyethylene terephthalate resin, a polyether sulfone resin, a polyacrylate resin, or triacetate resin is used.
- the glass substrate is not particularly limited as long as it has a small hue.
- Examples of the transparent conductive film 1 of the above-described embodiment include ATO (antimony oxide / tin oxide), FTO (tin oxide / fluoride), ITO (indium oxide / tin oxide), FATO (antimony oxide / tin oxide).
- ATO antimony oxide / tin oxide
- FTO tin oxide / fluoride
- ITO indium oxide / tin oxide
- FATO antimony oxide / tin oxide
- Metal oxides which are N-type semiconductors represented by tin oxide / fluorine dope.
- ITO is suitable because the transparent conductive film itself has no coloring and has excellent transparency.
- the transparent conductive film 1 has an arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of 0.4 nm ⁇ Ra ⁇ 4 O nm and a root-mean-square roughness (Rms) of 0.6 nm ⁇ R ms in its surface shape. Configure to be ⁇ 3.0 nm. The reason for this is that, by configuring the transparent conductive film 1 in this manner, as shown in FIG. 1, the aggregates of crystal grains are densely arranged and the film has good smoothness. This is because, as shown in 2, it is possible to quickly secure the contact area at the time of input.
- the contact will be markedly point-like, and the contact area is small and not suitable for input. (See Fig. 5 and Figs. 17 to 19). Even if either arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) or root mean square (Rms) is in the above range, proper input cannot be expected. If the arithmetic average roughness (Ra) exceeds 4. Onm or the root-mean-square roughness (Rms) exceeds 3.0 nm, the sliding characteristics of the transparent conductive film 1 are adversely affected.
- the following parameter representing the surface shape of the transparent conductive film 1 (Rp / Rmax) force 0.55 or less, the cross section of the aggregate of particles constituting the surface shape is as shown in FIG. It is configured so as to have a simple trapezoidal shape or rectangular shape (see Figs. 15 and 16). The reason is that if such a shape is obtained, a very stable input can be ensured, and the switch is indispensable. This is because the sliding characteristics have a long life and good results can be obtained.
- the transparent touch panel of the above embodiment in the case of a transparent conductive film 1 s constituting at least one electrode and an indium tin oxide film, a metal oxide film observed on the surface thereof is used.
- the average crystal grain size (R) in the plane of the object is 40 nm ⁇ R ⁇ 200 nm, and the arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of the surface of the transparent conductive film 1 is 0.4 nm ⁇ Ra ⁇ 3. O nm
- the root-mean-square roughness (Rms) is 0.6 nm ⁇ Rms ⁇ 2.
- RpXRmax the surface shape
- the cross section of the aggregate of particles is configured to have a trapezoidal shape or a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. That is, RpZRmax x 0.55 is set.
- Rp represents the center line depth
- Rmax represents the maximum roughness of the surface. All units are nm. The centerline depth Rp and the maximum roughness RmaX will be described later.
- the average crystal grain size (R) in the plane of the metal oxide observed on the surface is 40 nm ⁇ R ⁇ 200.
- the reason for making the distribution in the nm range is as follows. In other words, when the average crystal grain size (R) is distributed in the range of less than 40 nm, the input becomes unstable when light touch input is performed, while the average crystal grain size (R) is distributed in the range exceeding 200 nm. In such a case, it is extremely difficult to manufacture the transparent conductive film 1 having such an average crystal grain size (R).
- the average crystal grain size (R) within the range of 40 nm ⁇ R ⁇ 200 nm and forming a stable oxide film with few barriers typified by grain boundaries, etc.
- the contact resistance when the transparent conductive film comes into contact can be reduced, and stable input can be achieved.
- the indium tin oxide film is mainly formed by a sputtering method, and it is possible to obtain a film having good crystallinity.
- the substrate temperature at the time of film formation is required. Prescriptions such as maintaining at a high temperature or annealing at a predetermined temperature after film formation are taken.
- the average crystal grain size (R) should be in the range of 40 nm ⁇ R ⁇ 200 nm. For example, by setting the substrate temperature at the time of film formation to 350 ° C or performing aging at 150 to 200 ° C for several hours or more after film formation, the crystal growth is promoted. Good to do.
- the specific resistance is small, so that it is necessary to form a considerably thin film for touch panel applications. For this reason, the average crystal grain size tends to be reduced naturally.
- the coating method and the printing method are not only simpler than the sputtering method, but also can easily control the grains and adjust the specific resistance. It is also suitable for controlling the surface shape.
- the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) is 0.21 nm
- the root mean square (Rms) is 0.26 nm in the line A-B, and C — At the D line, it was 0.28 nm.
- the vertical axis represents height
- the horizontal axis represents distance.
- the transparent touch panel of the above embodiment since it is considered to be about 0 A, it is considered that the mobility of carriers is reduced due to grain boundary scattering, which is normally negligible, and a problem occurs during light touch input. Further, in the transparent touch panel of the above embodiment, as another example, at least one of the transparent conductive films 1 constituting the electrode is replaced with indium oxide-tin oxide tin film instead of fluorine or antimony-added silicon oxide.
- the average crystal grain size (R) in the plane of the metal oxide observed on the surface is 80 nm ⁇ R ⁇ 400 nm
- the arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of the surface of the transparent conductive film 1 Is 0.4 nm ⁇ Ra ⁇ 4.0 nm
- the root-mean-square roughness (Rms) is 0.6 nm ⁇ Rms ⁇ 3.O nm
- the surface shape (RpZRmax), 0.55 or less the cross-section of the aggregate of the particles constituting the surface shape is configured to have a trapezoidal shape or a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. That is, Rp / Rmax ⁇ 0.55.
- Rp represents the centerline depth
- Rma X represents the maximum roughness.
- the unit is nm.
- the center line depth Rp and the maximum roughness Rmax will be described later.
- the average crystal grain size (R) in the plane of the metal oxide observed on the surface is 80 nm ⁇ R
- the reason for the distribution in the range of ⁇ 400 nm is as follows. In other words, when the average crystal grain size (R) is distributed in the range of less than 80 nm, the input becomes unstable when a light touch input is performed, while the average crystal grain size (R) exceeds 400 nm. If they are distributed, the transparent conductive film serving as the opposing electrode will be damaged by the 03 convexity on the surface, resulting in poor sliding durability.
- the contact when the transparent conductive film on the opposing substrate comes into contact Resistance can be reduced and stable input can be achieved.
- a tin oxide film containing fluorine or antimony is mainly formed by a gas phase method represented by a CVD method.
- the growth of crystal grains can be adjusted so that the film formation temperature is as high as 450 ° C to 550 ° C and the average crystal grain size (R) falls within the range of 80 nm ⁇ R ⁇ 400 nm. It is possible.
- a transparent conductive film is formed by coating or printing using a sol-gel material
