Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a touch panel, and more particularly to a low-temperature five-wire narrow frame resistive touch panel. [Prior Art] The early five-wire resistive touch panel consists of a two-layer structure, as shown in the fifth figure, which comprises a conductive glass substrate (IT0 (4 Ο) and one on the conductive glass substrate). Conductive film (IT〇Fiim) (5 〇) 'The upper surface of the conductive glass substrate (40) is bonded with a transparent conductive layer' and printed with a wire line (4 1 ) around it; the conductive film (50) The lower surface is also plated with a transparent conductive layer and printed with a silver wire (5 1 ) as an inductive conduction between the two layers, and there are many fine moon-transparent and edge-like materials to make the conductive glass substrate. (4 ◦) Xiao conductive film (5 〇) is kept insulated to ensure that the two upper and lower layers are not turned on and misinterpreted when the user does not touch the panel. Please refer to the fourth line shown in the fourth figure. The touch panel is operated by a transparent conductive layer of a conductive glass substrate (4 〇) and is responsible for coordinate sensing in the X-axis (horizontal axis) and Y-axis (vertical axis) directions around the conductive glass substrate (40). On the conductive line (41), the y-axis and the γ-axis area are on the X Or a fixed voltage (such as five volts) is added to the end of the conductive line of the x-axis, and the other end is zero volt, so that the touch area formed between the X-axis and the x-axis forms a uniform voltage distribution, and the conductive film is It is only used as the voltage value of the inductive touch point. After the wafer is processed, the coordinate value of the touch point is obtained. Γ360222 The process of the five-wire resistive touch panel is extremely precise. The four-wire resistive touch panel is high, so the surrounding voltage is extremely easy to cause the uneven voltage distribution on the working surface, so that the coordinate position of the actual touch point is judged incorrectly, and even the touch panel cannot be used. Generally, the five-wire touch panel adopts I::Process 2, which uses the high-temperature silver paste of 5〇0 degrees or more in the glass base U-resistance is relatively low and the printed wiring of the sentence is uniform, ... can meet the five Line-type averaging requirements for resistance values, but due to the possibility of glass cracking after being subjected to external impacts, small-sized touch panels are often used in consumer electronics such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc. Items, if you are not careful It is possible that the glass is broken and damaged. [Explanation] According to the above description, the conductive glass substrate used in the process of the five-wire touch panel may be broken after being subjected to an external force, and the application thereof may be applied. In view of the above, the main object of the present invention is to provide a low-temperature five-wire narrow-frame resistive touch panel design, which is formed by laminating a conductive film and a plastic substrate instead of a conductive glass substrate. The conductive film is surrounded by a compensation design to achieve the anti-drop effect and the average resistance can form a uniform electric field. The technical means used for the above purpose is to design the low-temperature five-wire narrow-frame resistive touch panel. : a plastic substrate; Γ 360222 - a lower conductive film attached to the plastic substrate, the surface of which is coated with a transparent conductive layer, and a peripheral portion of the surface is formed with a wire distribution region along the side of the wire distribution region to form a plurality of different lengths An etched area of size; an upper conductive film is disposed over the lower conductive film, and the surface thereof is plated with a transparent guide The electrical layer is formed with a closed-line silver wire around the periphery of the surface.

At about 150 degrees Celsius, the resistance value of the resistor is higher than that of the high temperature process, and the hooking property is poor. The present invention forms a discontinuous number of discontinuities on the side of the conductor distribution area around the lower conductive film. And (4) regions that are independent of each other. The (four) regions can greatly or slightly change the resistance value of the adjacent wire distribution region according to their own length, so that the resistance values of the segments in the wire distribution region are one The voltage distribution of the segments can be considered to be the same, and a uniform electric field can be formed. [Embodiment] The present invention is intended to introduce a five-wire touch panel into a plastic substrate that is resistant to falling and is not easily broken. The method of the present invention is to apply a layer of conductive film to a plastic substrate in the province. In order to replace the conductive glass base s ' system &^; ^ 1 1 in the isoelectric system is a low temperature 1 process, the silver poly baking temperature is only about 150 degrees Celsius, its resistance value relative to the temperature process The resistance value is high and the hooking property is inferior. For example, the resistance value causes the voltage value of #5 volt to enter from the end point of the wire, and the length of the M wire gradually decreases, and the electric M value exceeding the middle portion may be , the remaining 4.5 volts, so that the entire section b ^, Α the voltage of the slave line can not be regarded as the same size, so that can not form a uniform sentence ^ ^ ^ „ 耵 即 即 即 无法 无法 无法The panel is added to the average value of the resistance value, ... However, the present invention can be modified in the panel structure to correct the problem that the average value of the resistance value is not good, and is on the five-wire touch panel.槎 且 and Gu Yi, P ^ know supply /, have average resistance The sexual ¥ line meets the design requirements of the touch panel. Firstly, the gentleman's fingertips of the touch panel are slightly added. The border of the touch panel is only the outer contour and the touch display. In the area between the transparent edges, if the touch panel is connected to one of the flexible printed circuit boards, the width of the frame is less than 1 Omm, and the other covers are the touch panels of the narrow frame; Sex, -+ ήα lv m , uf will set the wiring of the silver wire around the touch panel to be full of h β $ P value thousands of purposes. The design of the silver wire is forced to increase the size of the touch panel to accommodate enough The customer demand for the narrow-frame touch panel will not be greatly provided for the present invention - 4 gn- , ^ , to solve the problem of poor average resistance value of the hand & 'clear reference to the first figure Including: Decomposing a plastic substrate (1〇) according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pnUm u material can be polycarbonate (Polycarbonate, PC), poly oblique | _ _ et al. For the original - formic acid glycol MPET), poly-lower conductive film (2 〇 ), Songjia - Ren, Gan main U) and the plastic substrate (1 〇) attached to the surface of the sigma has a transparent conductive sound, electric sliding and the periphery of the surface is formed with a 360222 wire distribution area (2 1 ) ' As shown in the second and third figures, a plurality of inscribed regions (2 2 ) of different lengths are formed along the inner side of the wire distribution region (2 1 ). In this embodiment, the etching regions are 2 2) the longer the length of the etched region (2 2 ) which is formed by etching the transparent conductive layer of the lower conductive film (2 〇), the closer to the etched region (2 2 ) at both ends of the wire distribution region ( 2 1 ), The closer to the middle of the wire distribution region (2 1 ), the shorter the film is formed; an upper conductive film (3 〇) is disposed above the lower conductive film (20) and has a transparent conductive layer on the surface thereof and surrounds the periphery of the surface. A closed silver wire (3 1 ) is formed. The above-mentioned surname area (22) changes the section resistance value of the adjacent conductor distribution area (2 1 ). Since the conductive knives area (21) where the etched area is not formed originally, the resistance of each section is inconsistent. The closer the two ends are to the middle part, the voltage system gradually decreases. 5伏特。 The voltage value of the intermediate portion of the voltage is reduced to 4.5 volts. However, due to the formation of the etched region (2 2 ), the etched region $(2 2) near the ends will increase the resistance across the conductive distribution @ (2丄), causing the voltage across the terminal to drop to 4.5 volts, and the more = the shorter the etched area (2 2 ) @ of the middle part, so that the resistance value of the (7) conductive knives d(21) is gradually reduced, so that the resistance values at both ends of the conductive distribution area (2 1 ) are similar to those of the middle stage. The resistance value is reduced, so that the voltage value is gradually reduced. Finally, the electric I is about 4.5 volts from both ends to the middle, thus forming a uniform electric field. In summary, the present invention attaches a layer of conductive film to a plastic substrate 1360222 to replace the conductive glass substrate, so that the touch panel can resist falling and is not easily broken, and is formed on the side of the wire distribution area at the periphery of the lower conductive film. Discontinuous etched regions, the etched regions vary the resistance of the adjacent wire distribution regions by a large or slight change in the length of the wires, so that the electrical values of the segments of the wire distribution region are consistent, that is, when a voltage is applied to the wires When the distribution area is used, the voltage distribution of each j can be regarded as the same ' & and a ''uniform electric field can be formed on the surface of the touch panel.
