Description
本申请涉及显示技术领域,特别涉及一种触控面板、触控面板的制作方法以及显示装置。
触控面板(Touch Panel)因其方便的使用方式在游客导览系统、自动柜员机、可携式电子产品以及工业控制系统等显示技术领域获得了越来越多的应用。传统的触控面板的触控电极的材料通常为氧化铟锡(ITO),但是,ITO薄膜由于自身的脆性、导电性及透光率等问题而限制了触控面板向柔性化发展。目前,产业界一直在致力于开发ITO的替代材料,其中,纳米金属线具有较优异的力学特性,特别是纳米银线具有优良的导电性,同时由于其纳米级别的尺寸效应,使得其具有优异的透光性与耐曲挠性,因此,可用其替代ITO作为触控电极的材料。然而,现有的触控面板的触控效果不够理想,且难以实现窄边框的设计要求。
发明内容

与现有技术相比,本申请的实施例具有以下有益效果:
本申请实施例中的触控面板包括:基底,所述基底具有第一区域和围绕所述第一区域的第二区域;走线层,位于所述第二区域上;以及导电层,位于所述第一区域上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层,暴露的走线层作为所述触控面板的走线引出区。所述触控面板的制作方法包括:提供基底,所述基底具有第一区域和围绕所述第一区域的第二区域;形成走线层,所述走线层位于所述第二区域上;以及形成导电层,所述导电层位于所述第一区域上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层,暴露的走线层作为走线引出区。因所述导电层直接覆盖部分所述走线层,则所述走线层与所述导电层直接接触,使得两者之间的有效接触面积容易控制,有利于稳定两者之间的接触电阻,从而提高所述触控面板的触控效果;另外,因为部分所述走线层被所述导电层覆盖,暴露的走线层作为走线引出区,所以可以相应地减小所述走线引出区的面积;再者,暴露的走线层对应所述触控面板的边框区,这样可以减小所述触控面板的边框区的尺寸,因此,所述触控面板还可以实现窄边框的设计需求,从而满足显示装置窄边框的市场需求。

发明人发现,在纳米银线触控面板的制备工艺中,通常是将纳米银线溶液直接涂布在基底上以形成纳米银线导电层。但是,纳米银线导电层仅凭较弱的分子间作用力搭接在一起,因此,纳米银线导电层与基底的结合强度较差,很 容易在弯折过程中发生滑移,出现触控面板的电阻较高和电阻不稳定的现象。于是,发明人尝试在纳米银线导电层上再涂覆覆盖层(over coating),通常覆盖层为透明的绝缘胶层,如光学胶层,涂覆的覆盖层能够提高纳米银线导电层与基底之间的附着力;但是,由于走线层形成在覆盖层之上,则涂覆的覆盖层会降低纳米银线导电层与走线层的有效接触面积,增加两者间的接触电阻,导致触控面板的触控效果下降。其中,所述有效接触面积是指所述导电层和所述走线层接触的部分中可以起到导电作用的部分的面积。于是,在上述结构的基础上,为了保证触控面板的触控效果,需要扩大所述纳米银线导电层与所述走线层的接触面积,而该接触面积决定了触控面板的边框区的尺寸大小。因此,该触控面板无法满足窄边框的设计需求,进而难以满足显示装置的市场需求。
基于上述发现,本申请的实施例提供一种触控面板包括:基底,所述基底具有第一区域和围绕所述第一区域的第二区域;走线层,位于所述第二区域上;以及导电层,位于所述第一区域上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层,暴露的走线层作为走线引出区。因所述走线层与所述导电层直接接触,使得两者之间的有效接触面积容易控制,有利于稳定两者之间的接触电阻,从而提高所述触控面板的触控效果;另外,因为部分所述走线层已被所述导电层覆盖,暴露的走线层作为走线引出区,这样可以相应地减小所述走线引出区的面积;再者,暴露的走线层对应所述触控面板的边框区,这样可以减小所述触控面板的边框区的尺寸,因此,所述触控面板还可以实现窄边框的设计需求,从而满足显示装置窄边框的市场需求。
同时,本申请的实施例还提供一种触控面板的制作方法,如图1所示,本申请实施例的触控面板的制作方法包括:
步骤S1、提供基底,所述基底具有第一区域和围绕所述第一区域的第二区域;
步骤S2、形成走线层,所述走线层位于所述第二区域上;以及
步骤S3、形成导电层,所述导电层位于所述第一区域上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层,暴露的走线层作为走线引出区。
所述制作方法首先在所述第二区域上形成了所述走线层,然后形成导电层,所述导电层位于所述第一区域上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层,暴露的走线层作 为走线引出区,使得所述走线层与所述导电层直接接触,且可以减小走线引出区的面积,因此,所述制作方法不仅能够提高触控面板的触控效果,还可实现窄边框的设计需求,从而满足显示装置窄边框的市场需求。
以下结合图1至图4更详细的列举所述触控面板及其制作方法、显示装置的实施例,以清楚说明本申请的内容,应当明确的是,本申请的内容并不限制于以下实施例,其它通过本领域普通技术人员的常规技术手段的改进亦在本申请的思想范围之内。需说明的是,附图均采用非常简化的形式且均使用非精准的比例,仅用以方便、明晰地辅助说明本申请实施例的目的。
首先,执行步骤S1,提供基底10,所述基底10具有第一区域A1和围绕所述第一区域A1的第二区域A2,如图2所示。
本实施例中,所述基底10可以呈方形,则所述第二区域A2呈方形环状。所述基底10通常由透明的绝缘材料制成,所述基底10可以为刚性基底,所述刚性基底的材质可以是如玻璃、金属、或陶瓷等;所述基底10也可以为柔性基底,所述柔性基底的材质可以但不限于为亚克力、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)、聚丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯(ABS)、聚酰胺(PA)、聚酰亚胺(PI)、聚苯并咪唑聚丁烯(PB)、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBT)、聚碳酸酯(PC)、聚醚醚酮(PEEK)、聚醚酰亚胺(PEI)、聚醚砜(PES)、聚乙烯(PE)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚乙烯四氟乙烯(ETFE)、聚环氧乙烷、聚乙醇酸(PGA)、聚甲基戊烯(PMP)、聚甲醛(POM)、聚苯醚(PPE)、聚丙烯(PP)、聚苯乙烯(PS)、聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)、聚氨酯(PU)、聚氯乙烯(PVC)、聚氟乙烯(PVF)、聚偏二氯乙烯(PVDC)、聚偏二氟乙烯(PVDF)或苯乙烯-丙烯腈(SAN)等。本实施例中,所述柔性基底的材质为聚酰亚胺。
接着,执行步骤S2,形成走线层11,所述走线层11位于所述第二区域A2上,如图2所示。
较佳的,所述走线层11的材质包括金线、银线、氧化铟锡、金属筛网或石墨烯中的一种或多种。具体形成所述走线层11的方式包括但不限于印刷(如可以采用凹版印刷、凸版印刷、柔印或转印等)、溅射或者蒸镀等。所述走线层11用作后续触控电极的互连线。
然后,执行步骤S3,形成导电层12,所述导电层12位于所述第一区域A1 上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层11,暴露的走线层11作为走线引出区B,如图3所示。
所述导电层12作为所述触控面板的触控电极,相应的,所述导电层12对应所述触控面板的触控区域,而所述走线引出区B对应所述触控面板的边框区。所述触控区域即显示装置的显示区域,也被称为可视区,所述可视区通常用于透光显示,所述边框区通常不透光以突出所述可视区的显示内容。因而,所述走线层11与所述导电层12直接接触,使得两者之间的有效接触面积容易控制,有利于稳定两者之间的接触电阻,从而可以提高所述触控面板的触控效果;而且,因为部分所述走线层11已被所述导电层12覆盖,则可以相应地减小所述走线引出区B的面积,即可以减小所述触控面板的边框区的尺寸,从而可以实现窄边框的设计需求。
较佳的,所述导电层12的材质包括纳米金属线,其可以但不限于为纳米金线或纳米银线。本实施例中,由于银在一般状态下为银白色金属,且为不透明材料,导电性极佳,因此所述导电层12优选为纳米银线层。所述纳米银线层中的纳米银线的线长可以在10微米至300微米之间,纳米银线的线径(或线宽)可以小于500纳米,且其长宽比(线长与线径之比)可以大于10。形成所述导电层12的方式包括但不限于:喷墨、撒播、凹版印刷、凸版印刷、柔印、纳米压印、丝网印刷、刮刀涂布、旋转涂布、针绘(stylus plotting)、夹缝式涂布或流涂。进一步的,为了保证所述触控面板具有更好的触控效果,所述导电层12与所述走线层11直接接触的有效面积大于或者等于0.25平方毫米,这样,可以实现所述导电层12(触控电极)与所述走线层11(所述触控电极的互连线)之间良好的电连接,使所述触控面板的信号传输良好、抗干扰能力强。
此外,为了进一步增强所述导电层12与所述基底10的粘附力,在完成上述步骤后,还可以在所述导电层12上形成覆盖层13,如图4所示。所述覆盖层13可以为绝缘胶层,如酚醛树脂、聚氯乙烯树脂、透明光学胶等材料中的一种或多种。本实施例中,所述覆盖层13的材料为透明光学胶,形成所述覆盖层13的步骤可以是:将透明光学胶溶液采用喷涂工艺涂布在所述导电层12上;再进行加热烘干,固化形成所述覆盖层13。进一步,所述透明光学胶溶液具有流动性,而所述导电层12通常呈网状,在未固化前,所述透明光学胶溶液会渗入所 述导电层12中,使得固化后形成的覆盖层13在其厚度方向上至少部分会嵌入所述导电层12中,可以使纳米银线更好地附着在所述基底10上,从而使所述纳米银线之间不易发生移动,搭接更加牢固,进而增加所述触控面板的导电性和灵敏性。
上述触控面板的制作方法首先在所述第二区域A2上形成了所述走线层11,然后,形成导电层12,所述导电层12位于所述第一区域A1上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层11,暴露的走线层11作为走线引出区B,使得所述走线层11与所述导电层12直接接触,且可以减小走线引出区B的面积,因此,所述制作方法不仅能够提高触控面板的触控效果,还可实现窄边框的设计需求。
相应的,通过上述制作方法形成的触控面板包括:基底10,所述基底10具有第一区域A1和围绕所述第一区域A1的第二区域A2;位于所述第二区域A2上的走线层11;位于所述第一区域A1上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层11的导电层12,所述走线层11与所述导电层12直接接触的有效面积大于或者等于0.25平方毫米,暴露的走线层11作为所述触控面板的走线引出区B;位于所述导电层12上的覆盖层13。因所述走线层11与所述导电层12直接接触,使得两者之间的有效接触面积容易控制,有利于稳定两者之间的接触电阻,从而提高所述触控面板的触控效果;另外,因为部分所述走线层11已被所述导电层12覆盖,暴露的走线层11作为走线引出区B,所以可以相应地减小所述走线引出区B的面积,再者,暴露的走线层对应所述触控面板的边框区,这样可以减小所述触控面板的边框区的尺寸,因此,所述触控面板还可以实现窄边框的设计需求。
显然,所述触控面板并不只限于上述制作方法得到。
最后,本实施例提供了一种包括上述触控面板的显示装置,其中,所述导电层12作为显示装置的触控电极,所述走线层11作为显示装置的触控电极的互连线,所述走线引出区B对应显示装置的边框区,于是,所述显示装置可以满足显示装置窄边框的市场需求。所述显示装置可以但不限于为液晶显示面板、电子纸、手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
综上,本申请的触控面板包括:基底,所述基底具有第一区域和围绕所述第一区域的第二区域;走线层,位于所述第二区域上;以及导电层,位于所述第一区域上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层,暴露的走线层作为所述触控面板的走线引出区。所述触控面板的制作方法包括:提供基底,所述基底分为第一区域和围绕所述第一区域的第二区域;形成走线层,所述走线层位于所述第二区域上;以及形成导电层,所述导电层位于所述第一区域上且直接覆盖部分所述走线层,暴露的走线层作为走线引出区。因所述导电层直接覆盖部分所述走线层,则所述走线层与所述导电层直接接触,使得两者之间的有效接触面积容易控制,有利于稳定两者之间的接触电阻,从而提高所述触控面板的触控效果;而且,暴露的走线层对应所述触控面板的边框区,因为部分所述走线层已被所述导电层覆盖,暴露的走线层作为走线引出区,所以可以相应地减小所述走线引出区的面积,即减小所述触控面板的边框区的尺寸,因此,所述触控面板还可以实现窄边框的设计需求,从而满足显示装置窄边框的市场需求。
进一步的,所述导电层与所述走线层直接接触的有效面积大于或者等于0.25平方毫米,可以实现所述导电层与所述走线层之间良好的电连接,使所述触控面板的信号传输良好,抗干扰能力强。
再进一步的,在所述导电层上形成覆盖层,所述覆盖层能够增加所述导电层与所述基底的粘附力,能够提高所述触控面板的导电性和灵敏性,进一步提高触控面板的触控效果。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本申请进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本申请的精神和范围。这样,倘若本申请的这些修改和变型属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本申请也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
