本发明涉及显示触摸屏制造领域,尤其是涉及一种触摸面板用触摸线路的保护方法。
背景技术
在平板显示行业中,触摸屏适用范围越来越广泛,从个人电脑、电视机等大型电子设备到手机、平板电脑、电子词典等小型电子设备的显示装置中大都要使用液晶显示元件或触摸屏。目前,触摸屏的主要技术可以分为以下两类:第一类是外挂式触摸屏,如OGS(One Glass Solution,即单片玻璃解决方案);第二类是内嵌式触摸屏,其包括两种技术形态:On-cell和In-cell。其中,On-cell是指将触摸面板功能嵌入到彩色滤光片基板和偏光板之间的方法,In-cell是指将触摸面板功能嵌入到液晶像素中的方法。由于On-cell和In-cell技术是在显示面板上一体化实现,可实现显示面板的薄型化和轻量化,成为目前及以后的主要发展趋势。
目前,On-cell触摸技术主要是在液晶显示面板的CF(color filter,即彩色滤光片)基板的背面设置有金属层,该金属层一般由一层或两层构成,用于实现触摸功能。其中,两层金属层结构的中间一般会设置一绝缘层以将二者隔开。每一金属层都设置有多条横向或者纵向的金属线组成,该金属线露出在CF基板的表面,且每条金属线将触摸区域与外部触摸控制电路电性连接以在二者之间传输信号。
在显示屏的制程过程中,一般是先将多个小的液晶显示屏整合在一个大的玻璃基板上,在完成阵列、彩膜、成盒对组等制程之后,需要通过切割将每个小的显示屏从所述玻璃基板上分离出来。然而,在On-cell和In-cell技术中, 由于金属线是露出在所述CF基板的外表面,而且在将显示屏从玻璃基板切割分离过程中会产生较多的玻璃屑,因此,玻璃屑残留在玻璃基板上或玻璃基板经过的位置,很容易造成所述金属线刮伤或者断开或者发生短路,导致触摸区域与外部触摸控制电路之间无法传输信号,从而造成显示屏上对应区域的触摸功能失灵,如此,不但降低了产品良率,还增加了生产成本。
发明内容

请参阅图1,图1为根据本发明一实施例的触摸面板的结构示意图。如图1所示,在本发明的实施例中,所述触摸面板100包括:背光模组10、阵列基板20、CF(color filter,即彩色滤光片)基板30及金属层50。所述背光模组10、所述阵列基板20及所述CF基板30依次层叠排列在一起形成一个整体,也即是说,所述阵列基板20位于所述背光模组10上,所述CF基板30位于所述阵列基板20上,所述金属层50设置于所述CF基板30相对于所述阵列基板20的一侧面上。

所述金属层50设置于所述CF基板30相对于所述阵列基板20的一侧面上,具体地,该金属层50由一层金属线构成,其设置于所述CF基板30的第二表面33(即该CF基板30的背面),用于实现触摸功能。在本发明实施例中,所述金属层50包括多条第一金属线组51及多条第二金属线组53,多条所述第一金属线组51之间相互平行(可设定该第一金属线组51为横向排列),多条所述第二金属线组53之间相互平行(可设定该第二金属线组53为纵向排列),且与每一所述第一金属线组51相垂直。请参阅图2,图2为图1所示金属层的第一金属线组与第二金属线组的排列示意图。
较佳地,多条所述第一金属线组51之间等间距地相互平行,多条所述第二金属线组53之间等间距地相互平行,且与所述第一金属线组51之间相互交叉排列,从而在所述CF基板30的第二表面33形成网格状排列的区域。
所述触摸面板100上对应于该网格状排列的多条第一金属线组51及多条第二金属线组53区域即为具有触摸功能的触摸线路区域,其用于用户实现触控输入操作。每个第一金属线组51和第二金属线组53均包括有多条金属线,且每个第一金属线组51和每个第二金属线组53均与外部触摸控制电路电性连接,即,所述具有触摸功能的触摸线路区域通过所述第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53与一外部触摸控制电路(图未示)电性连接,以传输所述触摸线路区域产生的触摸信号至所述触摸控制电路,或将该触摸控制电路发出的控制信号传输至该触摸线路区域,进而实现该触摸面板100的触摸功能。
可以理解,在本发明的其他实施例中,所述金属层50并不局限于由一层金属线构成,其还可以由两层金属线构成。当该金属层50的数量为两层时,该两层金属结构之间还设置一绝缘层,以将两个所述金属层绝缘隔开。另外, 本说明书中,触摸面板用触摸线路不仅包含位于触摸线路区域内的金属线,而且也包含位于该触摸线路区域上的电极,还可以包含边框区域的金属配线。
所述触摸面板100还包括液晶层(图未示),该液晶层位于所述阵列基板20与所述CF基板30之间,具体地,该液晶层位于所述阵列基板20与所述CF基板30的第一表面31之间,所述背光模组10发出的光线可透过该液晶层照射到所述CF基板30上。

在本发明实施例中,所述保护膜60可由快速溶解于水的胶材制成,较佳地,该保护膜60可由聚乙烯醇(Poly Vinyl Alcoho,PVA)制成,其聚合度为500~5000,醇解度大于85mol/L。如图3所示,所述保护膜60可为网格形状的膜层,其涂覆于所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53上,则该CF基板30上所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53之外的区域露出没有被该保护膜60覆盖,该网格形状的保护膜的形状和尺寸与所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53交叉排列形成的网格的形状和尺寸相匹配。可以理解,该保护膜60的厚度可以通过涂布PVA胶材的量来控制,以达到较好的保护效果。较佳地,所述保护膜60的厚度为1微米(um)~50um。所述网格形状的保护膜可通过网版印刷的方法制成。
可以理解,所述保护膜60的形态并不局限于网格形状,其还可以为其他形状,请参阅图4,图4为根据本发明另一实施例的触摸面板涂布有保护膜的示意图。如图4所示,所述保护膜60可为平面状的膜层,即该保护膜60涂覆于该CF基板30的整个第二表面33,并覆盖了所述第一金属线组51及所述第 二金属线组53以及该第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53之外的区域。该保护膜60的厚度可以通过涂布PVA胶材的量来控制,以达到较好的保护效果。较佳地,所述保护膜60的厚度为1um~50um。所述网格形状的保护膜可通过Coater、Inkjet、APR版转印等方法制成。

具体为,在本发明实施例中,所述触摸面板100包括:背光模组10、阵列基板20、CF(color filter,即彩色滤光片)基板30及金属层50。所述背光模组10、所述阵列基板20及所述CF基板30依次层叠排列在一起形成一个整体,也即是说,所述阵列基板20位于所述背光模组10上,所述CF基板30位于所述阵列基板20上,所述金属层50设置于所述CF基板30相对于所述阵列基板20的一侧面上。
在本发明的实施例中,所述背光模组10为该触摸面板100的关键零组件之一,其用于提供充足的亮度与分布均匀的光源,以使得所述触摸面板100可以正常显示影像。所述阵列基板20为TFT(thin film transistor,薄膜晶体管)阵列基板,其设置所述背光模组10上。所述CF基板30位于所述阵列基板20相对于所述背光模组10的一侧,该CF基板30是一种表现颜色的光学滤光片,其可通过精确选择预通过波段范围的光波,并反射掉其他不希望通过的波段范围的光波。所述CF基板30包括第一表面31及与该第一表面31平行的第二表面33,在本发明的实施例中,所述第一表面31为所述CF基板30的正面,其正对所述背光模组10。所述第二表面33为该CF基板30的背面。

较佳地,多条所述第一金属线组51之间等间距地相互平行,多条所述第二金属线组53之间等间距地相互平行,且与所述第一金属线组51之间相互交叉排列,从而在所述CF基板30的第二表面33形成网格状排列的区域。
所述触摸面板100上对应于该网格状排列的多条第一金属线组51及多条第二金属线组53区域即为具有触摸功能的触摸线路区域,其用于实现用户触控输入操作。每个第一金属线组51和第二金属线组53均包括有多条金属线,且每个第一金属线组51和每个第二金属线组53均与外部触摸控制电路电性连接,即,所述具有触摸功能的触摸线路区域通过所述第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53与一外部触摸控制电路(图未示)电性连接,以传输所述触摸线路区域产生的触摸信号至所述触摸控制电路,或将该触摸控制电路发出的控制信号传输至该触摸线路区域,进而实现该触摸面板100的触摸功能。
可以理解,在本发明的其他实施例中,所述金属层50并不局限于由一层金属线构成,其还可以由两层金属线构成。当该金属层50的数量为两层时,该两层金属结构之间还设置一绝缘层,以将两个所述金属层绝缘隔开。另外,本说明书中,触摸面板用触摸线路不仅包含位于触摸线路区域内的金属线,而且也包含位于该触摸线路区域上的电极,还可以包含边框区域的金属配线。
所述触摸面板100还包括液晶层(图未示),该液晶层位于所述阵列基板20与所述CF基板30之间,具体地,该液晶层位于所述阵列基板20与所述CF基板30的第一表面31之间,所述背光模组10发出的光线可透过该液晶层照射到所述CF基板30上。
步骤220,在所述触摸面板100的CF基板30上涂覆溶解于水的胶材。
具体为,在本发明的实施例中,所述溶解于水的胶材可为聚乙烯醇(Poly Vinyl Alcoho,PVA)液体,其聚合度为500~5000,醇解度大于85mol/L。所述PVA液体涂覆于所述CF基板30具有所述金属层50的第二表面33上,并覆盖住所述金属层50的第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53上,因而对该第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53具有保护作用。
在本发明的一个实施方式中,在所述触摸面板100的CF基板30上通过 网版印刷的方式涂布PVA液体至第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53上,具体为,该PVA液体涂覆于述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53上,则该CF基板30上所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53之外的区域露出没有涂布该PVA液体。
在本发明的另一实施方式中,在所述触摸面板100的CF基板30上涂布整面覆盖的PVA液体,具体为,该PVA液体涂布于该CF基板30的整个第二表面33,并覆盖了所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53以及该第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53之外的区域。在所述触摸面板100的CF基板30上涂布整面覆盖的PVA液体的方式包括但并不局限于:Coater、Inkjet、APR版转印等方法。
步骤230,将涂覆溶解于水的胶材的CF基板30根据预定的烘烤温度进行干燥处理以得到一保护膜60以保护所述金属层50。
具体为,在本发明的实施例中,将涂覆有PVA液体的CF基板30按照预定的烘烤温度进行烘烤处理,例如,将涂覆有PVA液体的CF基板30可放置于烤箱内进行真空烘烤并进行冷却,以得到一保护膜60,或者,将涂覆有PVA液体的CF基板30放置于高压气体成型模具中进行烘烤,泄压后开模取出冷却,以得到一保护膜60。较佳地,所述预定的温度小于等于70℃。
如图3所示,在所述触摸面板100的CF基板30上通过网版印刷的方式涂布PVA液体,并根据预定的烘烤温度进行干燥处理以得到的保护膜60为网格形状的膜层,该保护膜60覆盖于所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53上,则该CF基板30上的所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53之外的区域露出没有被该保护膜60覆盖,该网格形状的保护膜60的形状和尺寸与所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53交叉排列形成的网格的形状和尺寸相匹配。可以理解,该保护膜60的厚度可以通过涂布PVA的量来控制,以达到较好的保护效果。较佳地,所述保护膜60的厚度为1微米(um)~50um,即,该保护膜60的厚度为大于等于1微米且小于等于50微米。
如图4所示,在所述触摸面板100的CF基板30上涂布整面覆盖的PVA液体,并根据预定的烘烤温度进行干燥处理以得到的保护膜60为平面状的膜层,即该保护膜60涂覆于该CF基板30的整个第二表面33,并覆盖了所述第 一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53以及该第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53之外的区域。该保护膜60的厚度可以通过涂布PVA的量来控制,以达到较好的保护效果。较佳地,所述保护膜60的厚度为1um~50um。
步骤240,通过切割将每个液晶显示屏从一玻璃基板上分离出来。
在液晶显示屏的制程过程中,一般是先将多个小的液晶显示屏整合在一个大的玻璃基板上,在完成阵列、彩膜、成盒对组等制程之后,需要通过切割将每个小的液晶显示屏从所述玻璃基板上分离出来。由于该保护膜60涂覆于所述金属层50的第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53上,并对该第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53具有保护作用,因此,在将液晶显示屏从玻璃基板切割分离过程中,避免了残留的玻璃屑刮断或损坏所述金属层50的第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53,从而保证了触摸线路区域与外部触摸控制电路正常传输信号,如此,不但可提升了触摸面板的产品良率,还可降低该触摸面板的生产成本。
步骤250,将切割之后的CF基板30进行水洗以去除所述保护膜60。
具体为,在本发明的实施例中,由于所述保护膜60由可快速溶解于水的PVA胶材制成,因此通过水洗即可将覆盖于所述CF基板30上所述第一金属线组51及所述第二金属线组53的保护膜60清洗干净。例如,将切割之后的CF基板30置于传送带输送到一水槽内以清水清洗,并将水温调节至合适的温度,则该保护膜60即可溶解于水中直至完全去除该保护膜60,之后晾干即可。
综上所述,在本发明的触摸面板用触摸线路的保护方法中,所述金属层50的第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53上涂布有溶解于水的胶材,并将该溶解于水的胶材烘干干燥后形成一保护膜60,该保护膜60可覆盖并保护第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53等触摸线路。因此,所述金属层50的第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53上形成该保护膜60之后,在将液晶显示屏从玻璃基板切割分离过程中,可避免了残留的玻璃屑刮断或损坏所述金属层50的第一金属线组51及第二金属线组53等触摸线路,从而保证了触摸线路区域与外部触摸控制电路正常传输信号,如此,不但可提升了触摸面板的产品良率,还可降低该触摸面板的生产成本。
在本说明书的描述中,参考术语“一个实施例”、“一些实施例”、“示例”、 “具体示例”或“一些示例”等的描述意指结合该实施例或示例描述的具体特征、结构、材料或者特点包含于本发明的至少一个实施例或示例中。在本说明书中,对上述术语的示意性表述不一定指的是相同的实施例或示例。而且,描述的具体特征、结构、材料或特点可以在任何的一个或多个实施例或示例中以合适的方式结合。
以上所揭露的仅为本发明一种较佳实施例而已,当然不能以此来限定本发明之权利范围,本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分流程,并依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化,仍属于发明所涵盖的范围。
