本发明第一实施例提供一种触摸屏, 如图 2所示, 包括: 基板 1; 位于 基板 1上的沿第一方向排列的多条第一电极 11;位于基板 1上的沿第二方向 排列的多条第二电极 12(图 2中仅示出一条第一电极 11和一条第二电极 12 ); 第一电极 11和第二电极 12为透明电极, 第一电极 11和第二电极 12交叉排 列且彼此绝缘; 第一电极 11在交叉区域断开为多个第一子电极 111 , 相邻的 两个第一子电极 111通过金属或合金形成的桥接构件 13电性连接;桥接构件 13与未断开的第二电极 12通过绝缘层 14相绝缘。该触摸屏还包括位于与桥 接构件 13相对应的区域的消隐构件,其例如包括至少两层消隐层,各消隐层 为不同致密度的具有降低外界光线反射作用的膜层。图 2中未示出各消隐层。
例如, 消隐层可以为任何低反射率的膜层。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例提供的触摸屏, 各膜层位于第一基板之上 包含两种情况, 以图 2为例, 第一电极 11位于基板 1上, 可以理解为第一电 极 11与基板 1相接触, 或者第一电极 11位于基板 1上方, 二者之间还包括 其他功能膜层,例如二者之间还包括緩沖层以提高第一电极 11在基板 1上的 附着力。
所述交叉排列为第一电极和第二电极之间具有一定夹角 (对应三角形中 的锐角)或相互垂直。
本发明第一实施例提供的触摸屏中, 所述各消隐层靠近外界光线的入射 面, 所述桥接构件相对于用于其的消隐构件远离外界光线的入射面。 即外界 光线先经过消隐层再经过桥接构件, 实现降低外界光线反射率的目的。 所述 外界光线为由显示面板外部入射的自然光, 即区别于显示面板中的背光。
本发明第一实施例提供的所述触摸屏中, 各消隐层的致密度不同, 不同 致密度的膜层对外界光线的反射不同, 不同反射之间发生光学的相消作用可 进一步使得触摸屏在桥接构件对应区域的反射率降低。
在图 3至 6所示示例中,消隐构件由两个消隐层, 即第一消隐层 15和第 二消隐层 16构成。
光是电磁波, 如图 3所示 (未示出第一消隐层上方的基板) , 当其顺次 经过第一消隐层 15和第二消隐层 16时, 在二者表面发生反射, 如果两束反 射光之间的光程差满足半波长的奇数倍, 则两束反射光发生相消干涉, 使得 反射光强进一步减小或无反射光的存在,桥接构件的无视化程度进一步提高。
例如, 外界光线经过第一消隐层 15 和第二消隐层 16 时满足如下公式 ( 1-1 )和(1-2 ) : = 2nldl = (2ml -ΐμ/2 公式( 1-1 )
Δ^2 = ^η,ά, - 2n2d2 \ = (2m2 - 1)1/2 公式(1-2 ) 其中, 其中 ni为第一消隐层的折射率, (^为第一消隐层的厚度, l为任 意正整数, n2为第二消隐层的折射率, d2为第二消隐层的厚度, 2为任意正 整数, 为外界光的波长。
满足上述公式(1-1 )和(1-2 ) 的反射光线最大程度相消, 然而只要能 保证两列波在同一时刻叠加后的振幅不大于其中某一束反射波的振幅就可达 到降低光线反射率的目的。
例如, 当第一消隐层 15的材料确定时, 公式中的折射率 确定, 入射 波波长义一定的前提下, 可通过控制第一消隐层 15的厚度 ηι来调节光程差 AS, , 使其满足公式(1-1 )。 当然第一消隐层 15的厚度 d越薄越好, 即设置 第一消隐层 15的厚度满足 A S=A/2时最佳。 同样的, 可以通过控制 ^、 d2、 n2来调节光程差 M2 , 使其满足公式(1-2 ) 。
在一个示例中, 所述第一和第二消隐层的材料选自下列材料构成的组: 金属氧化物、 金属氮化物、 金属氮氧化物、 合金氧化物、 合金氮化物、 合金 氮氧化物等。 由于金属或合金的氧化物、 氮化物、 氮氧化物本身颜色是非金 属色, 偏灰色和黑色, 对光线的吸收作用较佳, 使得反射到触摸屏出光侧的 光线减少, 降低光线的反射率, 提高桥接构件无视化的程度。
本发明第一实施例在第一电极 11和第二电极 12交叉的区域设置有绝缘 层、 第一消隐层 15和第二消隐层 16以及桥接构件, 绝缘层用于避免第二电 极与第一电极的接触或避免与桥接构件的接触。第一消隐层 15和第二消隐层 16所在区域与桥接构件所在区域对应,或第一消隐层 15和第二消隐层 16的 面积不小于桥接构件所在区域的面积, 用于降低光线入射到桥接构件所在区 域时光的反射率。
为了更清楚地说明本发明第一实施例提供的桥接构件与各消隐层的相对 位置, 以下以图 4-图 6所示的示例的触摸屏为例说明。 图 4-图 6所示的为图 2所示的触摸屏在 A-A,向的截面图。

在一个示例中, 各第一电极和各第二电极通过两次构图工艺完成, 例如 在基板上制作各第一电极, 然后在第一电极与第二电极交叉的区域设置绝缘 层, 最后在基板上制作各第二电极, 第二电极与第一电极相对的区域通过绝 缘层相绝缘。
第二和第三实施例提供的触摸屏中, 各消隐层的制作材料、 致密度和结 构与上述第一实施例提供的触摸屏中的各消隐层设置类似, 这里不再赘述。

以下介绍本发明实施例提供的触摸屏的制作法。
针对不同的触摸屏其制作方法不同。
首先说明具有桥接构件的触摸屏的制作方法, 至少对第一实施例的触摸 屏结构, 主要包括以下步骤:
在基板上形成多条交叉排列的第一电极和第二电极的过程; 第一电极在 与第二电极交叉的区域断开为多个第一子电极; 第一电极和第二电极为透明 电极;

在一个实例中,依次形成所述第一消隐层和所述第二消隐层例如执行为: 通过磁控溅射法在含有氧气、 氮气或氮氧混合气体作为反应气体, 氩气 作为沖击靶材的入射气体的腔体中以第一金属或第一合金为靶材制作所述第 一消隐层;
通过磁控溅射法在含有氧气、 氮气或氮氧混合气体作为反应气体, 氩气 作为沖击靶材的入射气体的腔体中以第二金属或第二合金为靶材制作所述第 二消隐层; 当用于形成所述第一消隐层和第二消隐层的靶材相同时, 制作第 一消隐层和第二消隐层时通入腔体中的气体类型不同, 或气体类型相同且通 气量不同。
例如, 在磁控溅射腔体中通入至少包含反应性气体 02或 N2或含 02或 N2的混合气体, 以及氩气 Ar作为沖击靶材的入射气体, 磁控溅射腔体中的 靶材为某一金属或者金属合金, 例如可以为钼铌合金, 或铝钕合金或者为与 桥接构件中的至少一种金属相同的靶材。在等离子体 Plasma的作用下形成金 属的氧化物、 氮化物或氮氧化物的膜层, 或者形成合金氧化物、 氮化物或氮 氧化物。
本发明实施例提供的另一种触摸屏的制作方法, 至少对应第二实施例的 触摸屏结构, 该方法包括:
在基板上形成多条交叉排列的第一电极和第二电极;第一电极和 /或第二 电极为至少两层叠层设置的消隐层, 各消隐层为致密度不同的具有降低光线 反射作用的膜层;
在基板上形成位于所述交叉区域用于绝缘第一电极和第二电极的绝缘层 的过程。
在一个示例中,所述触摸屏包括第一消隐层和第二消隐层;在此情况下, 所述形成第一电极的步骤包括:
根据第一电极图形在所述基板上依次形成第一消隐层和第二消隐层作为 第一电极;
在形成有所述第一电极的基板上形成绝缘层;
在形成有所述绝缘层的基板上形成所述第二电极。
在一个示例中, 形成所述第二电极的步骤例如包括: 根据第二电极图形 在所述基板上依次形成第一消隐层和第二消隐层作为第二电极。
在一个示例中,依次形成所述第一消隐层和所述第二消隐层例如执行为: 通过磁控溅射法在至少含有氧气、 氮气或氮氧混合气体的腔体中以金属 或合金为靶材制作所述第一消隐层;
通过磁控溅射法在至少含有氧气、 氮气或氮氧混合气体的腔体中以金属 或合金为靶材制作所述第二消隐层。
例如, 当用于形成所述第一消隐层和第二消隐层的靶材相同时, 制作第 一消隐层和第二消隐层时通入腔体中的气体类型不同, 或气体类型相同且通 气量不同; 依次形成所述第一消隐层和所述第二消隐层的步骤与上述提到的 制作第一消隐层和所述第二消隐层的步骤类似, 即在磁控溅射腔体中通入反 应性气体 02或 N2或含 02或 N2的混合气体以及沖击靶材的入射气体, 磁控 溅射腔体中的靶材为某一金属或者金属合金, 例如可以为钼铌合金, 或铝钕 合金或者为与桥接构件中的至少一种金属相同的靶材。 在等离子体 Plasma 的作用下形成金属的氧化物、 氮化物或氮氧化物的膜层, 或者形成合金氧化 物、 氮化物或氮氧化物。
本发明实施例提供的另一种触摸屏的制作方法, 至少对应第三实施例的 触摸屏结构, 该方法与上述对应第二实施例的触摸屏制作方法基本相同, 除 此之外还包括在第一电极和 /或第二电极上制作导电层的过程。
当所述第一电极由至少两层消隐层组成时, 该方法还包括:
在所述第一电极上形成与所述第一电极图像相对应的第一导电层。
当所述第二电极由至少两层消隐层组成时, 该方法还包括:
在所述第二电极上形成与所述第二电极图像相对应的第二导电层。
第一导电层和第二导电层的制作方法可以通过常规的! ¾ 工艺制作, 制 作材料与本发明上述实施例提到的第一导电层和第二导电层的制作材料相 同, 这里不再赘述。
需要说明的是, 本发明通过磁控溅射法制作消隐层的步骤与现有技术类 似, 不同之处在于, 靶材为本发明上述说明的某一金属或者金属合金, 反应 气体为 02或 N2或含 02或 N2的混合气体。
如果两层消隐层相接触, 则在同一次! ¾莫工艺制作两层不同致密度的消 隐层, 即制作两层消隐层, 通过控制磁控溅射腔体中通入的反应气体形成不 同致密度的消隐层。 例如要形成第一消隐层为钼铌的氧化物, 第二消隐层为 钼铌的氮氧化合物, 只需要在形成钼铌的氧化物之后在磁控溅射腔体中接着 通入一定量的氧气和氮气即可。 或者通过通入某一气体的量先少后多或先多 后少形成不同致密度的消隐层。
用于消隐层的材料除一般为本发明实施例中提到的通入气体反应后形成 的金属的氧化物、 氮化物或氮氧化物或合金的氧化物、 氮化物或氮氧化物, 还可以为具有低反射特征的金属材料或具有金属特性的非金属材料, 该材料 的反射率需要在 20%以下, 且需要与何其接触的金属层材料具有良好的附着 性, 应力差异小, 可刻蚀, 且刻蚀速率与后面的金属层差异性小。 两层金属 的气体通入量的差异需要至少差 5%, 例如可以差 5%或 20%等。
本发明实施例提供的触摸屏可以是任何具有桥接构件的触摸屏, 触摸屏 中设置有与桥接构件相对应的区域的消隐构件, 实现降低触摸屏中桥接构件 的反射率, 实现触摸屏无视化的目的。 或者本发明实施例提供的触摸屏中第 一电极和第二电极为金属或合金, 在与第一电极和第二电极相对应的区域中 设置有消隐构件。 所述消隐构件例如至少包括两层叠层设置的消隐层。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例提供两层消隐层的设置方式还可以适用于 任何需要有消隐作用的金属引线。 例如在显示技术领域, 在显示区域不可避 免地需要设置金属引线, 则该金属引线上方或下方可以设置本发明所述的至 少两层消隐层实现消隐的效果。 例如, 本发明实施例提供的桥接构件和消隐 构件可以至少适用于金属网线结构需要被消隐的产品中。
本发明实施例还提供一种显示装置, 包括上述触摸屏。
综上所述, 本发明实施例提供的触摸屏, 包括设置在基板上的非透明构 件(例如、 第一电极、 第二电极、 金属或合金桥接构件或其他导电层) , 以 及位于与所述非透明构件与所述外界环境之间的消隐构件。 该消隐构件例如 包括两层不同致密度的消隐层, 其中, 所述消隐层为金属氧化物、 金属氮化 物或金属氮氧化物。 由于各消隐层为金属氧化物、 金属氮化物或金属氮氧化 物, 金属的氧化物、 氮化物、 氮氧化物本身颜色是非金属色, 偏灰色和黑色, 对光线的吸收作用较佳, 使得较少的外界光线被非透明构件反射出触摸屏, 降低光线的反射率。 此外, 各消隐层的致密度不同, 不同致密度的膜层对光 线的吸收程度不同, 不同的吸收效果之间发生光学的相消作用进一步使得非 透明构件的整体反射率降低。
虽然上文中已经用一般性说明及具体实施方式, 对本发明作了详尽的描 述, 但在本发明基础上, 可以对之作一些修改或改进, 这对本领域技术人员 而言是显而易见的。 因此, 在不偏离本发明精神的基础上所做的这些修改或 改进, 均属于本发明要求保护的范围。
