觸控面板Touch panel

本案是有關於反射色度優異的感測(sensor)電極陣列(array)、使用於投影型靜電容量方式的觸控面板(touch panel)的較佳的感測電極陣列、感測電極陣列的使用方法、製造方法以及觸控面板。The present invention relates to a sensor electrode array excellent in reflection chromaticity, a preferred sensing electrode array used in a projection type electrostatic capacitance type touch panel, and a sensing electrode array. Method, manufacturing method, and touch panel.

一般而言,靜電容量方式的觸控面板是位置輸入裝置,該位置輸入裝置捕捉人的指尖與導電膜之間的靜電容量的變化,從而對指尖的位置進行檢測,上述靜電容量方式的觸控面板有表面型觸控面板與投影型觸控面板。表面型觸控面板的構造簡單,但難以同時對2個點以上的接觸(多點觸控(multi touch))進行偵測。另一方面,投影型觸控面板是多個電極排列為矩陣(matrix)狀而構成,更具體而言,多個第1電極群沿著水平方向排列,隔著絕緣層,多個第2電極群沿著垂直方向排列,從而構成投影型觸控面板,該投影型觸控面板為如下的構成,即,利用多個第1電極群以及多個第2電極群來依序逐步對容量變化進行檢測,藉此,可檢測出多點觸控。In general, a capacitive touch panel is a position input device that captures a change in electrostatic capacitance between a fingertip of a person and a conductive film to detect the position of the fingertip. The touch panel has a surface type touch panel and a projection type touch panel. The surface type touch panel has a simple structure, but it is difficult to detect more than two points of contact (multi touch) at the same time. On the other hand, the projection type touch panel is configured such that a plurality of electrodes are arranged in a matrix shape, and more specifically, a plurality of first electrode groups are arranged in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of second electrodes are interposed via an insulating layer. The group is arranged in a vertical direction to constitute a projection type touch panel. The projection type touch panel has a configuration in which a plurality of first electrode groups and a plurality of second electrode groups are used to sequentially perform capacity change. Detection, whereby multi-touch can be detected.

近年來,對於如上所述的觸控面板,多點觸控與大畫面化的需求增強,正在開發上述投影型的靜電容量方式的觸控面板。逐步使用透明導電體即氧化銦錫(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)等作為電極材料,但對於大畫面化所需的電極細線化而言,上述電極材料的電阻高,此成為細線化以及觸控面板響應性的阻礙。為了解決上述問題,正在開發如下的技術,該技術是對金、銀、以及銅等的金屬薄膜進行微細加工,藉由不會被觸控者看到的線寬的導電性細線來構成電極群(專利文獻1)。In recent years, with respect to the touch panel as described above, the demand for multi-touch and large screen is increasing, and the above-described projection type electrostatic capacitance type touch panel is being developed. Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), which is a transparent conductor, is used as an electrode material. However, the electrode material has a high electrical resistance for thinning of the electrode required for large screen, which is a thin line and a touch panel. Responsive obstacles. In order to solve the above problems, a technique is being developed in which a metal thin film such as gold, silver, or copper is microfabricated, and an electrode group is formed by a conductive thin line of a line width which is not seen by a touch person. (Patent Document 1).

又,關於利用金屬薄膜時的微妙的金屬色、及光澤對畫面產生的影響的問題,於專利文獻2中已揭示有對金屬表面進行黑色化處理的方法,但耐久性不充分。Further, in the case of the problem of the effect of the subtle metallic color and the gloss on the screen when the metal thin film is used, Patent Document 2 discloses a method of blackening the metal surface, but the durability is insufficient.

即便可藉由金屬薄膜的微細加工來形成低電阻的導電性細線,實際上,亦難以不使金屬細線產生剝離或斷裂而穩定地製造大面積的電極圖案(pattern)。又,如下的問題或色調變動的問題亦尚未解決,上述問題是指對於觸控面板形成之後的環境變化,形成的金屬細線會引起遷移(migration),使觸控面板的響應性下降。Even if a low-resistance conductive thin wire can be formed by microfabrication of a metal thin film, it is difficult to stably produce a large-area electrode pattern without peeling or breaking the metal thin wires. Further, the following problems or problems of color tone change have not yet been solved. The above-mentioned problem refers to a change in the environment after the formation of the touch panel, and the formed thin metal wires cause migration and decrease the responsiveness of the touch panel.

[反射色度][reflective chromaticity]

本發明的感測電極陣列的導電性金屬層具有固有的反射色,因此,必須儘可能地將反射色調整為中性色(neutral),較佳為對反射色度進行調整,使L*a*b*表色系統(color specification system)中的L*為6~13,a*為-0.7~1.5,b*為-5.0~1.2。The conductive metal layer of the sensing electrode array of the present invention has an inherent reflected color.

The value is a value measured by a method defined in JIS-Z8729:1994. The measurement method of JIS-Z8729 includes a measurement method using reflection and a measurement method using transmission. However, in the present embodiment, a value obtained by measurement using reflection is used.

關於L*a*b*表色系統中的L*值、a*值、以及b*值,眾所周知,L*值表示明度,a*值與b*值表示色相與彩度。具體而言,若a*值的符號為正,則表示紅色的色相,若a*值的符號為負,則表示綠色的色相。若b*值的符號為正,則為黃色的色相,若b*值的符號為負,則為藍色的色相。又,a*值與b*值均是絕對值越大,則表示顏色的彩度越大且顏色越鮮豔,絕對值越小,則表示彩度越小。於本發明中,a*值自清晰的紅色系朝儘可能小的值變更,且b*值自清晰的黃色朝微不足道的藍色變更,藉此,意圖獲得易於識別的觸控面板。測定方法的詳情揭示於實例的項中。Regarding the L* value, the a* value, and the b* value in the L*a*b* color system, it is known that the L* value represents brightness, and the a* value and b* value represent hue and chroma.

Details of the assay method are disclosed in the examples.

[感測電極的形成方法][Method of forming a sensing electrode]

接著,對本發明的第一感測電極及第二感測電極的形成方法進行說明。Next, a method of forming the first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode of the present invention will be described.

首先,一面參照圖10(a)~圖10(e),一面對利用金屬箔或薄膜(上述A))作為形成電極的材料時的形成方法進行說明。圖10(a)是兼作為絕緣層的透明基體15,且是例如約100 µm的PET薄膜。潔淨化該薄膜的表面,接著在該薄膜的表面設置金屬或合金的薄層21(圖10(b))。設置薄層的方法有真空製膜法與化學製膜法,但於膜薄的情形時,可使用蒸鍍法等的真空製膜法。濺鍍法或離子鍍法與蒸鍍法相比較,易於獲得導電性佳的膜且為較佳的方法。於膜厚超過500 nm的情形時,可使用電解電鍍法或無電解電鍍法,能夠以低成本來製膜,故而較佳。First, a method of forming a metal foil or a film (the above A) as a material for forming an electrode will be described with reference to FIGS. 10(a) to 10(e). Fig. 10 (a) is a transparent substrate 15 which also serves as an insulating layer, and is, for example, a PET film of about 100 μm. The surface of the film is cleaned, and then a thin layer 21 of metal or alloy is provided on the surface of the film (Fig. 10(b)). The method of providing the thin layer may be a vacuum film forming method or a chemical film forming method. However, when the film is thin, a vacuum film forming method such as a vapor deposition method can be used. Compared with the vapor deposition method, the sputtering method or the ion plating method is easy to obtain a film having good conductivity and is a preferred method. When the film thickness exceeds 500 nm, electrolytic plating or electroless plating can be used, and film formation can be performed at low cost, which is preferable.

金屬可使用上述(1)所揭示的材料,但較佳為使用銀、銅、鋁或這些金屬的合金。可使用濺鍍法等作為薄層的形成方法,但亦可為其他方法。形成的金屬的薄層的厚度越薄,則越不易剝離,因此較佳,但若上述金屬的薄層的厚度薄,則電阻會變高,作為觸控面板的響應性會變差,因此,上述金屬的薄層的厚度較佳為0.1 µm以上且為3 µm以下,更佳為0.2 µm以上且為2 µm以下。為了防止剝離,較佳為將「線寬/厚度」的比率設為2.5以上,進而較佳為將上述比率設為4以上。As the metal, the material disclosed in the above (1) can be used, but it is preferred to use silver, copper, aluminum or an alloy of these metals. A sputtering method or the like can be used as a method of forming a thin layer, but other methods are also possible. The thinner the thickness of the thin metal layer to be formed, the more difficult it is to peel off. Therefore, when the thickness of the thin metal layer is thin, the electric resistance is increased, and the responsiveness of the touch panel is deteriorated. The thickness of the thin layer of the above metal is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 3 μm or less, more preferably 0.2 μm or more and 2 μm or less. In order to prevent peeling, it is preferable to set the ratio of "line width/thickness" to 2.5 or more, and it is more preferable to set the ratio to 4 or more.

The developer is developed to thereby form a mesh pattern of the cured photoresist film. The mesh pattern is etched by an etching solution, and the cured photoresist film is peeled off and removed, whereby a mesh pattern including fine metal wires is formed (FIG. 10(c)). 31 of Fig. 10(c) shows conductive thin wires of the formed mesh pattern.

接著,於上述已形成的感測電極上設置包覆層32(圖10(d))。於本發明中,將上述包覆層稱為黑化層。該黑化層具有不使金屬或合金的金屬光澤顯眼的視覺性功能,且具有因防止金屬銹蝕及防止遷移而使耐久性提高的功能。以下,另外對上述黑化層(包覆層)的材料進行說明。黑化層(包覆層)的厚度較佳為5 µm以下,更佳為3 µm以下,尤佳為0.2 µm以上且為2 µm以下。Next, a cladding layer 32 is provided on the above-described formed sensing electrode (Fig. 10(d)). In the present invention, the above coating layer is referred to as a blackening layer. The blackening layer has a visual function that does not make the metallic luster of the metal or alloy conspicuous, and has a function of improving durability by preventing metal corrosion and preventing migration. Hereinafter, the material of the blackening layer (coating layer) will be described.

接著,除去上述黑化層(包覆層)的不將電極細線予以包覆的視認部上的黑化層,藉此,可形成視認性、耐久性優異的網格圖案的電極(圖10(e))。Then, the blackened layer on the visible portion of the blackened layer (coating layer) which does not cover the electrode thin wires is removed, whereby an electrode having a mesh pattern excellent in visibility and durability can be formed (FIG. 10 (FIG. 10) e)).

當使用包含導電性的奈米粒子的墨水(或漿料)時(上述B)),可將上述網格圖案直接印刷至兼作為絕緣層的透明基體層。於印刷之後,當根據需要,於進行熱處理等而形成的金屬圖案上設置黑化層時,可進行與上述相同的處理。When an ink (or slurry) containing conductive nanoparticles is used (B) above, the above-described mesh pattern can be directly printed onto a transparent substrate layer which also serves as an insulating layer. After the printing, when a blackening layer is provided on the metal pattern formed by heat treatment or the like as needed, the same treatment as described above can be performed.

[黑化層中所使用的材料與層的形成方法][Method of Forming Materials and Layers Used in Blackening Layer]

構成本發明的黑化層的主成分為選自鎳、鉻、鋅、錫、以及銅中的元素的至少一種化合物即可,可具有導電性,亦可不具有導電性。除了本發明的方法之外,亦可組合地使用染色法等的方法。The main component constituting the blackening layer of the present invention may be at least one compound selected from the group consisting of nickel, chromium, zinc, tin, and copper, and may or may not have conductivity. In addition to the method of the present invention, a method such as a dyeing method may be used in combination.

作為本發明中的黑化層的較佳的積層方法的例子,可列舉電鍍處理與化學蝕刻(chemical etching)法。Examples of a preferred lamination method of the blackened layer in the present invention include a plating treatment and a chemical etching method.

電鍍處理只要是眾所周知的被稱為黑色電鍍的處理,則無特別的限制,可列舉黑色鎳電鍍、黑色鉻電鍍、黑色Sn-Ni合金電鍍、Sn-Ni-Cu合金電鍍、以及黑色鋅鉻酸鹽(chromate)處理等作為例子。具體而言,可使用日本化學產業(股)製造的黑色電鍍浴(商品名為NIKKA BLACK,Sn-ni合金系)、(股)金屬化學工業製造的黑色電鍍浴(商品名為黑鉻(ebony chrome)85系列,Cr系)、DIPSOL(股)製的鉻酸鹽劑(商品名為ZB-541,鍍鋅黑色鉻酸鹽劑)。電鍍法可為無電解電鍍、電解電鍍中的任一種方法,可採用緩和的條件,亦可為高速電鍍。關於電鍍厚度,只要可識別出黑色,則厚度並無限定,但通常的電鍍厚度較佳為5 µm以下。The plating treatment is not particularly limited as long as it is a well-known treatment called black plating, and examples thereof include black nickel plating, black chrome plating, black Sn-Ni alloy plating, Sn-Ni-Cu alloy plating, and black zinc chromic acid. A chromate treatment or the like is taken as an example. Specifically, a black electroplating bath (trade name: NIKKA BLACK, Sn-ni alloy system) manufactured by Nippon Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., and a black electroplating bath manufactured by the metal chemical industry (trade name: black chrome (ebony) can be used. Chrome (85 series, Cr series), DIPSOL (stock) made of chromate (trade name ZB-541, galvanized black chromate). The electroplating method may be any one of electroless plating and electrolytic plating, and may be a mild condition or a high-speed electroplating. Regarding the plating thickness, the thickness is not limited as long as black can be recognized, but the usual plating thickness is preferably 5 μm or less.

於本發明中,亦可對導電性金屬部的一部分進行氧化處理或硫化處理而形成黑色部。例如於導電性金屬部為銅的情形時,作為銅表面的黑化處理劑的例子,可使用MELTEX(股)製造的商品名:ENPLATE MB438A、B;三菱瓦斯化學(股)製造的商品名:nPE-900;MEC(股)製造的商品名:MEC etch BOND BO-7770V;ISOLATE化學研究所製造的商品名:COPPER BLACK CuO、COPPER BLACK CuS、及硒系的COPPER BLACK no.65等。除了上述之外,當然例如亦可對硫化物進行處理而產生硫化氫(H22S),將銅的表面黑化為硫化銅(CuS)。對於上述處理而言,只要可識別為黑色,則厚度並無限定,但通常上述厚度較佳為3 µm以下,進而較佳為0.2 µm~2 µm。In the present invention, a part of the conductive metal portion may be subjected to an oxidation treatment or a vulcanization treatment to form a black portion. For example, when the conductive metal portion is copper, as an example of the blackening treatment agent for the copper surface, a product name manufactured by MELTEX Co., Ltd.: ENPLATE MB438A, B; Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd. may be used: nPE-900; MEC (stock) manufactured by MEC etch BOND BO-7770V; trade name manufactured by ISOLATE Chemical Research Institute: COPPER BLACK CuO, COPPER BLACK CuS, and selenium-based COPPER BLACK no. 65. In addition to the above, of course, the sulfide may be treated to generate hydrogen sulfide (H22S), and the surface of the copper may be blackened to copper sulfide (CuS). The thickness of the above treatment is not limited as long as it can be recognized as black. However, the thickness is usually preferably 3 μm or less, and more preferably 0.2 μm to 2 μm.

於本發明中,為了使感測電極陣列獲得所期望的反射色度,較佳為以2個步驟以上的步驟來進行黑化處理。例如較佳為於氧化處理之後進行還原處理,具體而言,利用含有亞氯酸鈉或過硫酸鈉等的氧化劑的鹼性水溶液來進行處理之後,利用含有二甲胺硼烷、硼氫化鈉、以及福馬林等的還原劑的溶液來進行處理。一般認為:前者是藉由使表面變粗糙來增加黑色調,後者是將因前者處理而變得不穩定的表面狀態予以穩定化,藉此,成為較佳的形態。In the present invention, in order to obtain a desired reflection chromaticity of the sensing electrode array, it is preferable to perform the blackening treatment in steps of two or more steps. For example, it is preferred to carry out a reduction treatment after the oxidation treatment, and specifically, after treatment with an alkaline aqueous solution containing an oxidizing agent such as sodium chlorite or sodium persulfate, the dimethylamine borane and sodium borohydride are used. A solution of a reducing agent such as formalin is used for the treatment. It is considered that the former is to increase the black tone by roughening the surface, and the latter is stabilized by the surface state which is unstable by the former treatment, thereby achieving a preferable form.

上述黑化層的表面較佳為具有某程度的表面粗糙度(Ra)。Ra較佳為0.15 µm以下,更佳為0.05 µm~0.14 µm。若Ra超過0.15 µm,則耐磨性或密著性有時會變差,因此不佳。The surface of the blackening layer preferably has a certain degree of surface roughness (Ra). Ra is preferably 0.15 μm or less, more preferably 0.05 μm to 0.14 μm. When Ra exceeds 0.15 μm, abrasion resistance or adhesion may be deteriorated, which is not preferable.

Ra的測定法大致分為呈直線地利用觸針來對面進行測定的方法(觸針)、以及光學性地進行測定的方法(光切斷法、光線反射法),亦可利用上述兩種方法中的任一種方法來進行測定。The measurement method of Ra is roughly classified into a method (a stylus) for measuring the surface by a straight line using a stylus, and a method for optically measuring (light cutting method or light reflection method), and the above two methods may be used. Either method is used for the measurement.

當導電性細線的線寬狹窄,且無法確保測定區域(area)時,除了將曝光區域擴大之外,以相同的操作來對已製作的導電性固體部分進行測定,且計算出Ra。When the line width of the conductive thin wires was narrow and the measurement area could not be secured, the prepared conductive solid portion was measured by the same operation except that the exposure region was enlarged, and Ra was calculated.

對應於使用觸控面板的影像顯示裝置的大型化,亦要求觸控面板本身實現大型化。對於大型化,電極必須實現低電阻化,並且電極之間的寄生電容必須降低,因此,若將擬(dummy)電極配置於電極之間,則有效果。擬電極是不與感測電極連接的孤立的電極群。然而,對於擬電極而言,為了對寄生電容進行控制,亦可將孤立短線予以連結而形成抽出線。Corresponding to the enlargement of the image display device using the touch panel, the touch panel itself is required to be enlarged. For the enlargement, the electrodes must be low-resistance, and the parasitic capacitance between the electrodes must be lowered. Therefore, it is effective to arrange the dummy electrodes between the electrodes. The pseudo electrode is an isolated electrode group that is not connected to the sensing electrode. However, for the pseudo electrode, in order to control the parasitic capacitance, the isolated short lines may be connected to form an extraction line.

將對上述試料31-1實施上述黑化處理方法之三所得的試料設為31-2。又,將對上述試料31-1實施上述黑化處理方法之四所得的試料設為31-3。將進一步對上述試料31-3實施上述黑化處理方法之三所得的試料設為31-4。又,將如下的試料設為31-5,該試料是使用市售的鉻系黑色電鍍浴,以3.2 A/cm來對上述試料31-1電鍍0.5分鐘,然後洗淨所得的試料。The sample obtained by performing the above-described blackening treatment method on the sample 31-1 was set to 31-2. Further, the sample obtained by subjecting the sample 31-1 to the fourth blackening treatment method was 31-3. The sample obtained by further performing the above-described blackening treatment method on the sample 31-3 was set to 31-4. In addition, the sample was set to 31-5, and the sample was plated at 3.2 A/cm for 0.5 minutes using a commercially available chromium-based black plating bath, and the obtained sample was washed.

[表3] [table 3]

根據以上的結果,當利用電鍍來進行黑化處理時,為了獲得所期望的反射色度,較佳為利用硫酸鋅七水合物的高濃度液來進行處理,進而較佳為利用硫酸鋅七水合物的低濃度液與高濃度液來進行二階段處理。一般認為硫酸鋅七水合物的高濃度液的處理具有使表面變粗糙的作用。然而,由於電鍍效率不充分,因此,一般認為如下的形態為最佳的結果,該形態是指利用電鍍效率佳的硫酸鋅七水合物的低濃度液來進行處理之後,利用硫酸鋅七水合物的高濃度液來進行處理。According to the above results, when the blackening treatment is performed by electroplating, in order to obtain a desired reflection chromaticity, it is preferably treated with a high concentration liquid of zinc sulfate heptahydrate, and further preferably using zinc sulfate heptahydrate. The low concentration liquid of the substance and the high concentration liquid are subjected to a two-stage treatment. It is considered that the treatment of the high concentration liquid of zinc sulfate heptahydrate has the effect of roughening the surface. However, since the plating efficiency is insufficient, it is generally considered that the following form is an optimum result. This form refers to the use of zinc sulfate heptahydrate after treatment with a low concentration liquid of zinc sulfate heptahydrate having excellent plating efficiency. The high concentration liquid is processed.

又,可藉由上述二階段處理來獲得具有耐久性的金屬細線電極。於金屬細線電極的表面設置氧化膜,或實施利用電鍍處理的低反射處理,例如利用黑色鉻來防止反射等已揭示於日本專利特開2006-344163號中,但並無與耐久性相關的揭示。Further, a metal thin wire electrode having durability can be obtained by the above two-stage process. An oxide film is provided on the surface of the metal thin wire electrode, or a low reflection process by a plating process, for example, using black chrome to prevent reflection, etc., is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-344163, but there is no disclosure relating to durability. .

將上述試料31-4以及試料31-5於60℃、RH90%的環境下保存500小時,然後在通常的環境下保存24小時之後,進行與表3相同的測定。結果,可知:對於試料31-4,僅觀測出誤差範圍的變動,而對於試料31-5,L*增加至15.0為止,Ra亦增加至0.20為止,朝本發明中的不佳的色度、與不佳的表面粗糙度的方向發生了變動。The sample 31-4 and the sample 31-5 were stored in an environment of 60 ° C and RH 90% for 500 hours, and then stored in a normal environment for 24 hours, and then the same measurement as in Table 3 was carried out. As a result, it was found that in the sample 31-4, only the fluctuation of the error range was observed, and in the sample 31-5, L* was increased to 15.0, and Ra was also increased to 0.20, which was a poor chromaticity in the present invention. The direction with poor surface roughness has changed.
