本发明实施例提供一种触控面板、其制造方法及其显示装置。触控面板包括保护外壳,保护外壳的表面区分有周边区域,且在保护外壳之周边区域具有装饰层,装饰层设置于保护外壳的下面,并于装饰层之下面设置导电圈。触控面板之基板下表面具有屏蔽层以及分布于屏蔽层周边之多个导电连接点,且导电连接点用以将屏蔽层电性连接导电圈。
由于本发明实施例的触控面板之导电圈设置于装饰层的下面,无需额外占用触控面板之周边区域的面积,因此易于实现窄边框之电子产品的设计要求。
请参考图 2A 、图 2B 与图 3 ,图 2A 是本发明实施例的触控面板之俯视图,图 2B 是本发明实施例的触控面板之仰视图,图 3 是本发明实施例的触控面板之剖面图。触控面板 5 包括保护外壳 51 、装饰层 52 、导电圈 53 、屏蔽层 54 、导电连接点 55 、基板 56 与触控感测层 57 。保护外壳 51 的表面区分有周边区域 50 ,周边区域 50 位于保护外壳 51 的周边且形成边框。装饰层 52 设置于保护外壳 51 的下面,且位于该周边区域 50 。导电圈 53 设置于装饰层 52 的下面,其为环状结构,且亦位于周边区域 50 ,以被装饰层 52 遮蔽。触控感测层 57 设置于基板 56 的上表面。屏蔽层 54 设置于基板 56 的下表面。导电连接点 55 设置于屏蔽层 54 之周边,且用以将屏蔽层 54 电性连接导电圈 53 。由于触控面板 5 之导电圈 53 设置于装饰层 52 的下面,无需额外占用触控面板 5 的周边区域 50 之面积,故易于实现窄边框之电子产品的设计要求。
另外,保护外壳 51 为透明绝缘板材,例如玻璃或透明塑胶板。导电圈 53 可以为银胶或导电胶带。屏蔽层 54 例如为由透明导电材质所形成的网状结构或平面结构,多个导电连接点 55 设置于屏蔽层 54 之周边,例如四个角落处,且跨设于基板 56 的侧面,藉以电性连接基板 56 下表面的屏蔽层 54 与基板 56 上表面的导电圈 53 。另外,导电圈 53 可以电性连接可挠性印刷电路(未绘于图 2A 、图 2B 与图 3 中)的屏蔽接脚。如此,触控面板 5 周围的干扰信号将可以分别被导电圈 53 与屏蔽层 54 所吸收,并且通过可挠性印刷电路的屏蔽接脚释放干扰信号至大地。由于导电圈 53 一般藉由低阻抗的材质制作,且通过导电连接点 55 电性连接屏蔽层 54 ,因此屏蔽层 54 具有较均匀且较低之阻抗值,且其各点不会因为与可挠性印刷电路距离不同而具有不同的屏蔽效果。
除此之外,触控面板 5 更可以包括多个周边线路 59 与绝缘层 58 。多个周边线路 59 设置于基板 56 之上表面,且电性连接触控感测层 57 与可挠性印刷电路的多个信号接脚。多个周边线路 59 还位于装饰层 52 之下,以被装饰层 52 遮蔽。绝缘层 58 位于周边线路 59 与导电圈 53 之间,以使周边线路 59 电性绝缘于导电圈 53 。绝缘层 58 可以为粘接层,例如光学胶,双面胶或 UV(ultraviolet) 光固胶等,基板 56 可以通过粘接层与保护外壳 51 贴合。于本实施例中,绝缘层 58 为一整层的结构,覆盖于周边线路 59 与触控感测层 57 之上,但于另一实施例中,绝缘层 58 可以为一环状结构,其仅覆盖于多个周边线路 59 之上,以使周边线路 59 电性绝缘于导电圈 53 即可。
请参照图 2C ,图 2C 是本发明另一实施例之触控面板之仰视图。不同于图 2B 的触控面板 5 ,于图 2C 的触控面板 5 '中,导电圈 53 '具有由周边向外延伸的至少一凸起部 53 ' a ,导电圈 53 '大部分为绝缘层(图 2C 未绘示)覆盖,仅露出凸起部 53 ' a ,导电连接点 55 通过凸起部 53 ' a 将导电圈 53 '与屏蔽层 54 电性连接。藉此,可避免导电圈 53 '被氧化或被侵蚀,并提升触控面板 5 的可靠性。
请参照图 2D ,图 2D 是本发明另一实施例之触控面板之仰视图。不同于图 2B 的触控面板 5 ,于图 2D 的触控面板 5 ''中,基板 ( 图未示 ) 与屏蔽层 54 '的周边具有至少一凹槽 53 '' a ,导电圈 53 ''大部份被绝缘层(图 2D 未绘示)所覆盖,仅通过凹槽 53 '' a 曝露出少部分的导电圈 53 '',导电连接点 55 通过凹槽 53 '' a 将导电圈 53 ''与屏蔽层 54 '电性连接。藉此,导电圈 53 ''通过尺寸设计使其大部分为绝缘层 58 (图 2D 未绘示)覆盖,故可避免导电圈 53 ''被氧化或被侵蚀,并提升触控面板 5 的可靠性。
请参考图 2E ,图 2E 是本发明另一实施例之触控面板之仰视图。不同于图 2B 的触控面板 5 ,图 2E 的触控面板 5 '''的导电连接点 55 布设于屏蔽层 54 之各边上,且每一边上布设至少一个导电连接点 55 。由图 2B 与图 2E 可以得知,导电连接点 55 的数量与设置位置皆非用以限制本发明。
请参考图 2F ,图 2F 是本发明另一实施例之触控面板之仰视图。不同于图 2B 的触控面板 5 ,图 2F 的触控面板 5 ''''于屏蔽层 54 之周边布满多个导电连接点,以形成一个导电连接圈 55 '。此导电连接圈 55 '使得导电圈 53 电性连接屏蔽层 54 ,导电连接圈 55 '可采用低阻抗的导电材质制作,例如导电胶、导电银胶,故导电连接圈 55 '电性连接于屏蔽层 54 和导电圈 53 后,可降低屏蔽层 54 和导电圈 53 的阻抗,使得屏蔽层 54 具有较均匀且较低之阻抗值,且其各点不会因为与可挠性印刷电路距离不同而具有不同的屏蔽效果。换言之,相较于图 2B 与 2E 的触控面板 5 与 5 ',触控面板 5 ''''具有更佳的干扰信号抵抗能力,适用于干扰信号十分严重的环境。
请参照图 3 与图 4 ,图 4 是本发明实施例的触控面板之制造方法的流程图。首先,在步骤 S701 中,形成装饰层 52 于保护外壳 51 的下面,其中保护外壳 51 的表面区分有周边区域 50 ,装饰层 52 位于周边区域 50 。接着,在步骤 S702 中,形成导电圈 53 于装饰层 52 的下面,其中导电圈 53 也位于周边区域 50 。接着,在步骤 S703 中,形成触控感测层 57 于基板 56 的上表面。然后,在步骤 S704 中,形成屏蔽层 54 于基板 56 的下表面。之后,在步骤 S705 中,形成多个周边线路 59 于基板 56 之上,其中多个周边线路 59 电性连接于触控感测层 57 ,且还位于装饰层 52 下面。再者,在步骤 S706 中,形成绝缘层 58 将保护外壳与基板贴合,其中绝缘层 58 位于周边线路 59 与导电圈 53 之间,绝缘层 58 可以是粘接层,例如使用粘接层贴合基板 56 与保护外壳 51 。最后,在步骤 S707 中,于屏蔽层 54 的周边设置至少一导电连接点 55 (或导电连接圈 55 '),其中导电接点 55 (或导电连接圈 55 ')用以将屏蔽层 54 电性连接于导电圈 53 ,且导电圈 53 及导电接点 55 (或导电连接圈 55 ')为涂布银胶或导电胶带之其中之ㄧ形成,相较于金属镀膜或印刷制程,采用涂布银胶或导电胶带的方式形成导电圈 53 及导电接点 55 ,其制造程序简单且制作成本较低。
在此请注意,上述触控面板之制造方法的各步骤顺序并非用以限制本发明。举例来说,步骤 S703 与 S704 可以对调,或者,步骤 S701 与 S702 可以在步骤 S703 与 S704 之后。
请接着参照图 5 ,图 5 是本发明实施例的触控显示装置之方块图。触控显示装置 8 包括触控面板 81 、显示单元 82 ,触控面板 81 位于显示单元 82 之上,触控面板 81 可以是上述各实施例的其中一种的触控面板。显示单元 82 用以显示画面。触控显示装置 8 还可以包括一触控感测电路 83 ,其中触控面板 81 电性连接触控感测电路 83 。触控感测电路 83( 包括驱动电路、感测电路与数位信号处理晶片 ) 用以判断触控面板 81 上是否有信号量的变化,以藉此获得触点位置。
综上所述,本发明实施例所提供的触控面板具有较佳且均匀的干扰信号抵抗能力、较低的制造成本与较高的可靠性。除此之外,本发明实施例所提供的触控面板还适用于窄边框之电子产品的设计。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本发明,凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,所做的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本发明保护的范围之内。
