- FIG. 6 is a perspective view schematically showing the relationship with the MD2 or MD2 direction).
- FIG. 1B is a schematic view showing the relationship between the MD1 direction and the MD2 direction when viewed in plan from the stacking direction.
- the plastic cover 11 and the film sensor 12 constituting the touch panel 1 are a straight line indicating the MD1 direction of the plastic cover 11 and the film sensor when viewed in plan in the stacking direction (Z1-Z2 direction) They are stacked so that they are orthogonal to the straight line indicating the 12 MD2 directions, that is, the angle X between these two directions is 90 degrees.
- the plastic cover 11 is manufactured by, for example, extruding a plastic base material such as polycarbonate resin (PC) or acrylic resin (PMMA).
- the resin flow direction MD1 of the plastic cover 11 is the extrusion direction.
- the flow direction of the resin can be confirmed by measuring the birefringence distribution of the plastic cover 11.

- the plastic cover 11 may draw the arc which protrudes in Z2 direction along MD1 direction is shown.
- the plastic cover 11 may be a single-layered one made of one kind of plastic substrate, a two-layered one made by laminating two kinds of plastic substrates, or the like. When the plastic cover 11 is formed of two layers of a PMMA layer and a PC layer, warpage tends to occur in the direction in which the surface on the PMMA side protrudes.

- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the flow direction MD2 of the resin of the film sensor 12 (film base layer) is the stretching direction.
- the flow direction of the resin can be confirmed by measuring the birefringence distribution of the film substrate layer.
- the film sensor 12 tends to shrink in the direction (roll direction, longitudinal direction, MD2 direction) stretched during manufacturing.
- the linear expansion coefficient of the film sensor 12 in the MD2 direction depends on the type of resin forming the film sensor 12, the manufacturing conditions, etc.
- the linear expansion coefficient of a PET film is generally about 1.2 ⁇ 10 -5 is there.
- the thickness of the film sensor 12 is not limited, it is usually 200 micrometers or less, and it may be preferable to set it as 100 micrometers or less.

Therefore, the MD 1 of the plastic cover 11 is parallel to the TD (Transverse Direction, transverse direction to the flow of resin) 2 of the film sensor 12, and the MD 2 of the film sensor 12 is parallel to the TD 1 of the plastic cover 11.
- the plastic cover 11 can suppress the contraction of the film sensor 12 in the MD2 direction.
- an angle X between the MD1 direction and the MD2 direction is 90 degrees. Therefore, warping of the plastic cover 11 in the MD1 direction and contraction of the film sensor 12 in the MD2 direction can be effectively suppressed.
- the MD1 direction and the MD2 direction are stacked so as to intersect or not be parallel to each other, the effect of suppressing the warpage of the plastic cover 11 and the contraction of the film sensor 12 can be obtained. Therefore, even if the angle X (see FIG. 1 (b)) is not 90 degrees, the above-described effect can be obtained.
- the angle X is preferably 45 degrees to 135 degrees, and more preferably 80 degrees to 100 degrees.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view as viewed in the direction of AA ′ of FIG. 2 (b).
- OCA optical Clear Adhesive

- a decorative layer 14 is provided between the plastic cover 11 and the film sensor 12.
- FIG. 4 shows a state in which the touch panel 1 is peeled off from the housing 2 due to warping.
- a force is generated in the direction in which the touch panel 1 warps, that is, in the direction in which the touch panel 1 and the housing 2 are peeled off.
- peeling between the touch panel 1 and the housing 2 occurs, and the warpage progresses. The peeling is likely to occur from the vicinity of the corner C (see FIG. 2B) of the touch panel 1.
- the occurrence of peeling is an appearance problem as such, but when the warp of the touch panel 1 progresses due to the peeling, the appearance (design) of the touch panel 1 may be further deteriorated. For example, when stress is applied to the decorative layer 14 provided on the peripheral portion of the touch panel 1 due to warpage, the appearance may be uneven.
- the warp of the touch panel 1 may cause functional problems. For example, if the force applied to the film sensor 12 becomes uneven due to warpage, the sensitivity distribution may become uneven. Furthermore, air bubbles may partially occur between the plastic cover 11 and the film sensor 12. In this case, since the dielectric constant of the film sensor 12 differs depending on the presence or absence of air bubbles, the sensitivity distribution of the touch panel 1 becomes even more nonuniform.
- the flow direction MD1 of the resin of the plastic cover 11 and the flow direction MD2 of the resin of the film sensor 12 intersect or are not parallel when viewed in plan from the stacking direction.
- the film sensor 12 exerts the function of suppressing the warpage of the plastic cover 11, and the touch panel 1 and the housing 2 can be maintained in a bonded state.

- the touch panel of the comparative example in which the MD1 direction of the plastic cover and the MD2 direction of the film sensor were parallel to each other was warped due to storage under a high temperature environment.
- the amount of warpage of the touch panel was larger than the sum of the amounts of warpage obtained by evaluating the plastic cover and the film sensor alone.
- the amount of warpage of the touch panel is increased by the synergistic action.
- the touch panel of the embodiment in which the MD1 direction of the plastic cover and the MD1 direction of the film sensor are orthogonal to each other is also an initial stage by storage under high temperature environment. No change occurred while maintaining the warpage amount.

Even in the initial stage, the amount of warpage was maintained and no change occurred.
- the laminating direction of the resin flow direction MD1 of the plastic cover and the flow direction MD2 of the resin of the film sensor non-parallel it is possible to suppress warping of the touch panel under high temperature environment and high temperature / high humidity environment. It is possible to stably manufacture the touch panel and the input device having the touch panel with high reliability in appearance and function.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and examples described above, and includes the same aspect as the technical idea.
- the input device according to the present invention is capable of maintaining good appearance and function without deterioration in design due to warpage and non-uniform input sensitivity in a high temperature environment, for example, car navigation It is useful as an input device installed in a high temperature environment, such as a touch panel for a personal computer.

また、特許文献1および2には、高温環境下で使用される場合の問題について記載されていない。例えば、カーナビゲーションのタッチパネルとして用いられる場合、高温にさらされることによって外観上や機能上の問題が生じるおそれがあるが、当該高温環境下において生じ得る問題は、記載されていない。
これにより、高温環境下における反りを抑制することができる。
反りを効果的に抑制する観点から、前記樹脂の流れ方向MD1と樹脂の流れ方向MD2とが直交していることが好ましい。
高温環境下における反りの抑制により、プラスチックカバーと筐体との接合を維持することができる。
これにより、高温環境下における外観および機能が良好に維持される入力装置を安定的に製造することができる。
図1(a)は、本実施形態に係るタッチパネル1における、プラスチックカバー11の樹脂の流れ方向MD1(以下、適宜MD1またはMD1方向という)と、フィルムセンサ12の樹脂の流れ方向MD2(以下、適宜MD2またはMD2方向という)との関係を模式的に示す斜視図である。図1(b)は、積層方向から平面視した場合における、MD1方向とMD2方向との関係を示す模式図である。
図3は、図2(b)のA-A’方向に見た断面図である。同図に示すように、タッチパネル1のフィルムセンサ12は、一方の面が粘着層3を介して筐体2に接合されており、他方の面が光学透明粘着層13(OCA:Optical Clear Adhesive)を介してプラスチックカバー11に接合されている。光学透明粘着層13は、例えば、アクリル系粘着剤からなり、その厚さは25μm程度から200μm程度である。プラスチックカバー11とフィルムセンサ12との間には、加飾層14が設けられている。
(測定方法)
環境条件(雰囲気):高温(95℃)、高温・高湿(85℃・相対湿度85%)
保存時間:120時間、240時間
測定:所定の環境下に所定時間保存した後、室温で2時間放置、冷却後、測定した。試料を水平面Hに載置し、側方から見て最も高く盛り上がっている部分の水平面Hからの距離を反りの大きさWとした(図1(a)参照)。
(測定試料)
直交積層タッチパネル:上記プラスチックカバーと上記フィルムセンサとを、積層方向から平面視した場合に、MD1方向とMD2方向とが直交するように積層した(角度X=90度、図1(b)参照)。
プラスチックカバー:2種2層(PMMA/PC)、9inch(200×125mm、厚さt2mm)
フィルムセンサ:PET、9inch(200×125mm、厚さt50μm)
額縁状の筐体:PC、9inch(200×125mm、厚さt2mm、枠幅5~30mm)
粘着層:アクリル系

平行積層タッチパネル:上記プラスチックカバーと上記フィルムセンサとを、積層方向から平面視した場合に、MD1方向とMD2方向とが平行になるように積層した(角度X=0度、図1(b)参照)。
このように、プラスチックカバーとフィルムセンサとの積層において、MD1方向とMD2方向とを非平行にすることにより、高温環境下において大きな反りが生じることを防止し、外観上、機能上の問題が生じない入力装置が得られた。
