Description
The present invention relates to a touch panel and a method of manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a touch panel and a method of manufacturing the same, which can operate more stably by preventing the air in the space between the upper substrate and the lower substrate from escaping to the outside during touch panel operation.
Touch panels are widely used as input devices of various electronic devices.
The touch panel is mainly configured and used together with an image display device such as a flat panel display, and is generally operated by touching a specific point of the touch panel with a finger or a pen. Such a touch panel is typically a resistive type consisting of two resistive sheets arranged so as to be insulated by dot spacers and to be in contact with each other by being pressed. Various types of touch panels are known, such as capacitive type, ultrasonic type, optical (infrared) sensor type, and electromagnetic induction type.
Among the various touch panels, the resistive touch panel is widely used as an input device such as an electronic organizer, PDA, portable PC, etc. in combination with a liquid crystal display device, and is thinner, smaller, lighter, and consumes more power than other methods. It is known to have advantages. The resistive touch panel has a matrix method and an analog method according to a detection method, and the analog method uses a 4-wire resistive film method, a 5-wire resistive film method, and an 8-wire resistive film depending on the wiring of electrodes for detecting touch points. Method and the like.
BACKGROUND ART A resistive touch panel having an electrode for detecting a touched point is typically provided with a plurality of electrodes on the upper substrate and the lower substrate, and the electrodes are formed in an electrically separated state from each other. More specifically, the upper transparent conductive film is patterned on the lower surface of the upper substrate, and a plurality of upper electrodes are printed on the lower surface of the upper transparent conductive film, the lower transparent conductive film is patterned on the upper surface of the lower substrate, and the upper surface is on the upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film. The electrodes are printed, and the upper and lower substrates are attached to each other by attaching double-sided adhesive tapes respectively to the lower surface of the upper electrode and the upper surface of the lower electrode.
In this case, the upper electrode is formed substantially along the outer periphery of the upper substrate, and the lower electrode is formed substantially along the outer periphery of the lower substrate. The plurality of upper electrodes formed on the upper substrate are formed spaced apart from each other to be electrically separated from each other. Similarly, a plurality of lower electrodes formed on the lower substrate are also formed in a spaced state so as to be electrically separated from each other. Accordingly, even when the lower surface of the upper electrode and the upper surface of the lower electrode are bonded to each other by the double-sided adhesive tape, when the touch panel is pressed, air in the space between the upper substrate and the lower substrate is vacated between the plurality of upper electrodes and the plurality of upper electrodes. It may be discharged to the outside through the empty space between the lower electrodes.
If the air in the space between the upper substrate and the lower substrate is discharged to the outside during the operation of the touch panel has a problem that may cause a malfunction of the touch panel.
In order to solve this problem, a method of filling the space between the plurality of upper electrodes and the space between the plurality of lower electrodes with an electrically insulating material has been introduced.
However, the method of filling the space between the plurality of upper electrodes and the space between the plurality of lower electrodes with an electrically insulating material has to be performed in a separate process after forming the upper electrode and the lower electrode, which makes the manufacturing process of the touch panel complicated. There is. Furthermore, there is a problem that an electrically insulating material filling the space between the plurality of upper electrodes and the space between the plurality of lower electrodes may be separated during operation of the touch panel.
The present invention was created to solve the above problems, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to seal the space between the upper substrate and the lower substrate of the touch panel through a simple structure to prevent the air is discharged to the outside It is to provide a touch panel and a method of manufacturing the same.
The touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object is, an upper substrate on which a lower transparent conductive film is patterned and a plurality of upper electrodes are formed, the lower transparent conductive film is patterned on the upper surface A lower substrate having a plurality of lower electrodes formed thereon, a dot spacer formed on an upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film, and an upper portion formed on a lower surface of the upper transparent conductive film so as to surround the outer side of the plurality of upper electrodes in a closed shape. Dummy electrode, a lower dummy electrode formed on the upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film to surround the outer side of the plurality of lower electrodes in the form of a closed figure, the upper electrode and the lower electrode, and the upper dummy electrode And a double-sided adhesive tape attached to the lower dummy electrode to adhere the upper substrate and the lower substrate to each other, and And a dispenser (dispenser) for electrically connecting a portion of the part and the plurality of lower electrodes of the plurality of upper electrode group.
On the other hand, the touch panel manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, patterning the upper transparent conductive film on the lower surface of the upper substrate, forming a plurality of upper electrodes on the lower surface of the upper transparent conductive film, the lower surface on the upper surface of the lower substrate Patterning a transparent conductive film, forming a plurality of lower electrodes on an upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film, and forming an upper dummy electrode on a lower surface of the upper transparent conductive film to surround an outer side of the plurality of upper electrodes in a closed shape Forming a lower dummy electrode on an upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film to surround outer surfaces of the lower electrodes in a closed shape; and forming a dot spacer on an upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film on the lower substrate. And a double-sided adhesive tape on the upper electrode and the lower electrode, and the upper dummy electrode and the lower dummy. Attaching the upper substrate and the lower substrate to each other by adhering to electrodes, and forming a dispenser for electrically connecting some of the plurality of upper electrodes and some of the plurality of lower electrodes. .
The forming of the plurality of upper electrodes and the forming of the upper dummy electrode may be simultaneously performed by a printing method.
The forming of the plurality of lower electrodes and the forming of the lower dummy electrode may be simultaneously performed by a printing method.
According to the present invention, an upper dummy electrode and a lower dummy electrode are respectively provided to enclose a plurality of upper electrodes formed on the upper substrate and a plurality of lower electrodes formed on the lower substrate in the form of a closed shape, thereby providing a gap between the upper substrate and the lower substrate. The space of the seal is sealed to prevent air from leaking out of the space between the upper and lower substrates during touch panel operation.
In particular, since the dummy electrodes are formed together at the time of forming the electrodes of the upper and lower substrates, the space between the upper and lower substrates can be sealed by a simple process.
