Specific embodiment
In the background technology it has been already mentioned that current touch panel narrow frame design relatively difficult to achieve.This is because cabling is logical
It is often to be formed using printing technology, but the process deviation of printing technology is bigger, cabling is easily accessible visible area, causes touch surface
The visibility bad order of plate.For this purpose, inventors have found that can be bonded a cover board in the subsequent technique of touch panel, usually may be used
The edge of vision area can reserve a certain distance with guarantee to be bonded it is smooth there is not bubble, and this gap of visual area edge can be with
Adequately it is utilized.
With specific reference to shown in Fig. 1, a kind of touch panel includes on substrate 1 ', and the substrate 1 ' includes visible area 11 ' and side
Frame area 12 ', the rim area 12 ' surround the visible area 11 ', and the routing layer 4 ' of touch panel covers the rim area 12 ', is
Avoid the routing layer 4 ' from entering the visible area 11 ', cause bad order, need the rim area 12 ' with it is described can
A certain distance (being greater than 0.3mm) is left between vision area 11 '.And in order to be bonded cover board, the edge of the visible area 11 ' also needs
A certain distance (being greater than 0.3mm) is reserved, the gap in area 111 ' Yu the 11 ' edge of visible area can be operated, this comes,
When the routing layer 4 ' is printed in the rim area 12 ', the routing layer 4 ' can be applied into the 11 ' edge of visible area away from
From to not interfere with the visible area 11 '.But this method is needed in the rim area 12 ' and the visible area
Between 11 ' and the edge of visible area 11 ' and gap can be reserved between operating space 111 ', further increase the rim area 12 '
Size, do not meet the design requirement of narrow frame.
In view of this, the nano metal line in rim area is led the present invention provides a kind of touch panel and preparation method thereof
After forming routing layer in electric layer, then the full wafer covering transparent insulating layer on the routing layer and nano metal line conductive layer, then
It is formed on the insulating layer opaque layer again, the opaque layer eliminates can operating space part, that is, the opaque layer
Inward flange with it is described can the edge of operating space be aligned, if the routing layer is applied into visible area, due to the transparent insulating layer
Be it is transparent, the opaque layer be it is opaque, the opaque layer cover the routing layer and it is described can operating space
The gap at the edge of edge and the visible area can also cover the routing layer and be applied into the part of the visible area, drop
Low touch panel generates the probability of visual bad order.
