Abstract
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 capable of electrically connecting an upper electrode formed on an upper substrate of a touch panel and a lower electrode formed on a lower substrate by a simple method, and a method of manufacturing the same.
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.
The upper substrate and the lower substrate are attached to each other by adhering the lower surface of the upper electrode and the upper surface of the lower electrode with a double-sided adhesive tape.
Next, a dispenser is formed to electrically connect at least some of the lower electrode and at least some of the upper electrode. Typically, a vertically penetrating empty space for forming a dispenser is formed in the double-sided adhesive tape, and the space is filled with an electrically conductive dispenser to electrically connect some of the lower electrode and some of the upper electrode.
In the case of forming the dispenser in an injection method, a through hole for injecting an electrically conductive material in a liquid state is formed in the lower substrate. That is, the dispenser is formed by forming an upper electrode and a lower electrode on the upper substrate and the lower substrate, and then bonding the both sides with a double-sided adhesive tape, injecting a liquid electrically conductive material through the through hole of the lower substrate, and curing the same. Can be.
In the case of forming the dispenser in the injection method as described above, an appropriate amount of electrically conductive material must be injected into the space formed by the lower surface of the upper electrode, the double-sided adhesive tape, and the upper surface of the lower electrode. There is a difficult problem. If the amount of the electrically conductive material injected is small, the upper electrode and the bottom electrode may not be electrically connected. On the other hand, if the amount of the electrically conductive material injected is too large, the gap between the upper electrode and the lower electrode may lead to product failure. There was a problem that could be. In addition, there is a problem that the through hole must be formed in the lower substrate in order to inject the electrically conductive material.
The present invention was created to solve the problems described above, the problem to be solved by the present invention is a touch to form a dispenser for electrically connecting the electrode of the upper substrate and the electrode of the lower substrate through a simple process. A panel, a touch panel, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided.
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 a double-sided adhesive tape adhered to the upper electrode and the lower electrode to adhere the upper substrate and the lower substrate to each other And a dispenser for electrically connecting some of the plurality of upper electrodes and some of the plurality of lower electrodes. The double-sided adhesive tape forms a space penetrated in the vertical direction in which the dispenser is disposed, and the dispenser is disposed in a through hole formed in the double-sided adhesive tape, so that the dispenser is disposed on a portion of the plurality of upper electrodes and a portion of the plurality of lower electrodes. It is an electrically conductive double-sided adhesive tape to be bonded to each other.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of manufacturing a touch panel includes: patterning an upper transparent conductive film on a lower surface of an upper substrate, forming a plurality of upper electrodes on a lower surface of the upper transparent conductive film, and lower transparent on an upper surface of a lower substrate Patterning a conductive film, forming a plurality of lower electrodes on an upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film, forming a dot spacer on an upper surface of the lower transparent conductive film of the lower substrate, a part of the plurality of upper electrodes and the plurality of Adhering a double-sided adhesive tape having a through-hole formed in a vertical direction at a position corresponding to a region of a part of the lower electrodes of the upper electrode and the lower electrode, and electrically conductive double-sided to the through-hole formed in the double-sided adhesive tape. Disposing an adhesive tape and overlying the upper substrate on the double-sided adhesive tape; And a step of bonding the lower substrate of the other.
According to the present invention, a dispenser for electrically connecting some of the plurality of upper electrodes and some of the plurality of lower electrodes is formed of an electrically conductive double-sided adhesive tape, so that the upper electrode and the lower electrode are more electrically connected to each other. It can be adhered, it is difficult to control the injection amount of the electrically conductive material has a conventional method of injecting and curing the electrically conductive material to form a dispenser, and the problems caused by it can be fundamentally solved and for the injection of the electrically conductive material There is an effect that the through hole formed in the lower substrate can be omitted.
