Description

觸碰感測器 Touch sensor

本發明係關於一種大面積高速觸控感測器,且更特定而言係關於一種其中構成感測單元之導電圖案及用於連接該等導電圖案之橋接器交替地形成於Tx/Rx通道區域中,藉此改良由於通道電阻所致之一信號延遲之觸控感測器。 The present invention relates to a large-area high-speed touch sensor, and more particularly, to a conductive pattern in which a sensing unit is formed and a bridge for connecting the conductive patterns are alternately formed in a Tx / Rx channel region. In this way, a touch sensor with a signal delay due to channel resistance is improved.

最近,觸控感測器廣泛應用於諸如行動電話、個人數位助理(PDA)及手持式個人電腦之各種電子產品,電容式觸控感測器之製造技術最廣泛應用於該等電子產品。 Recently, touch sensors are widely used in various electronic products such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and handheld personal computers. The manufacturing technology of capacitive touch sensors is most widely used in these electronic products.

當前,一單玻璃類型電容式觸控感測器之一結構主要用於觸控感測器。 Currently, a structure of a single-glass type capacitive touch sensor is mainly used for the touch sensor.

對於根據一先前技術之單玻璃類型電容式觸控感測器,用於形成一觸控感測電極層之一材料通常係氧化銦錫(ITO)。一ITO層係藉由濺鍍直接形成於一玻璃基板上,且接著圖案化,藉此形成觸控感測電極層之一圖案。 For a single-glass type capacitive touch sensor according to a prior art, a material used to form a touch sensing electrode layer is usually indium tin oxide (ITO). An ITO layer is directly formed on a glass substrate by sputtering, and then patterned, thereby forming a pattern of a touch sensing electrode layer.

觸控感測電極層之圖案包含一X軸感測電極圖案及一Y軸感測電極圖案。在此等圖案中,使用一導電層以便感測電極圖案之一個軸跨越感測電極圖案之另一軸形成一橋接器結構。 The pattern of the touch sensing electrode layer includes an X-axis sensing electrode pattern and a Y-axis sensing electrode pattern. In these patterns, a conductive layer is used so that one axis of the sensing electrode pattern crosses the other axis of the sensing electrode pattern to form a bridge structure.

一絕緣層形成於其中X軸感測電極圖案與Y軸感測電極圖案彼此交叉之一位置處以使X軸感測電極圖案與Y軸感測電極圖案電絕緣。 An insulating layer is formed at a position where the X-axis sensing electrode pattern and the Y-axis sensing electrode pattern cross each other to electrically insulate the X-axis sensing electrode pattern from the Y-axis sensing electrode pattern.

在先前技術之單玻璃類型電容式觸控感測器中,用於形成橋接器結構之導電層之材料通常係金屬,且用於使X軸感測電極圖案與Y軸感測電極圖案電絕緣之絕緣層之材料通常係二氧化矽。 In the prior art single-glass type capacitive touch sensor, the material used to form the conductive layer of the bridge structure is usually metal, and is used to electrically insulate the X-axis sensing electrode pattern from the Y-axis sensing electrode pattern. The material of the insulating layer is usually silicon dioxide.

以此方式,一基於ITO之導電膜廣泛用作感測電極圖案,但此ITO具有一問題,在於當將該ITO施加至一大面積觸控面板時,辨識速度由於一自RC延遲而減小。 In this way, an ITO-based conductive film is widely used as a sensing electrode pattern, but this ITO has a problem in that when the ITO is applied to a large area touch panel, the recognition speed is reduced due to a self-RC delay. .

在先前技術之觸控感測器之結構中,如圖1中所展示,X軸感測圖案11及Y軸感測圖案12形成於相同平面上,且X軸感測圖案11係使用透明導電橋接器13而連接的。 In the structure of the prior art touch sensor, as shown in FIG. 1, the X-axis sensing pattern 11 and the Y-axis sensing pattern 12 are formed on the same plane, and the X-axis sensing pattern 11 is made of transparent conductive material. The bridge 13 is connected.

此處,Y軸感測圖案12不由透明導電橋接器連接,但以在形成感測圖案時連接該等感測圖案之此一方式進行圖案化。X軸感測圖案11經圖案化以彼此分離且接著在一後續程序中由透明導電橋接器13連接[參見韓國專利申請公開案第10-2012-0092004號及第10-2013-0116583號]。 Here, the Y-axis sensing pattern 12 is not connected by a transparent conductive bridge, but is patterned in such a manner that the sensing patterns are connected when the sensing pattern is formed. The X-axis sensing patterns 11 are patterned to be separated from each other and then connected by a transparent conductive bridge 13 in a subsequent procedure [see Korean Patent Application Publication Nos. 10-2012-0092004 and 10-2013-0116583].

然而,若感測圖案及透明導電橋接器之電阻並不足夠低,則具有此一結構之觸控感測器具有不良敏感性且難以實施一大面積觸控感測器。 However, if the resistance of the sensing pattern and the transparent conductive bridge is not low enough, a touch sensor with such a structure has poor sensitivity and it is difficult to implement a large area touch sensor.

特定而言,Y軸感測圖案不由透明導電橋接器連接,但在形成感測圖案時經圖案化以彼此連接,且X軸感測圖案經圖案化以彼此分離且由透明導電橋接器連接。因此,X軸與Y軸之間存在一電阻差。 In particular, the Y-axis sensing patterns are not connected by the transparent conductive bridge, but are patterned to be connected to each other when the sensing pattern is formed, and the X-axis sensing patterns are patterned to be separated from each other and connected by the transparent conductive bridge. Therefore, there is a resistance difference between the X-axis and the Y-axis.

電阻差使觸控回應速度劣化,此使得難以實施一高速觸控感測器。 The difference in resistance deteriorates the touch response speed, which makes it difficult to implement a high-speed touch sensor.

相應地,設想本發明來解決前述問題。本發明之一目標係提供一種觸控感測器,其中構成感測單元之導電圖案及用於連接該等導電 圖案之橋接器交替地形成於Tx/Rx通道區域中,藉此改良由於通道電阻所致之一信號延遲。 Accordingly, the present invention is conceived to solve the aforementioned problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a touch sensor, wherein a conductive pattern constituting a sensing unit is used to connect the conductive patterns. The patterned bridges are alternately formed in the Tx / Rx channel region, thereby improving a signal delay due to the channel resistance.

本發明之另一目標係提供一種觸控感測器,其中為了交替地引入用於連接電極圖案之橋接器,導電圖案經配置以彼此相交,該等導電圖案具有以下一結構:在該結構中,屬於構成任一感測區域之一單元之任一電極圖案與屬於構成另一毗鄰感測區域之一單元之另一電極圖案彼此連接。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a touch sensor, in order to alternately introduce a bridge for connecting electrode patterns, the conductive patterns are configured to intersect with each other, and the conductive patterns have one of the following structures: Any electrode pattern belonging to a unit constituting any one of the sensing regions and another electrode pattern belonging to a unit constituting another adjacent sensing region are connected to each other.

本發明之又一目標係提供一種具有一輔助電極線之觸控感測器,該輔助電極線形成於構成一導電圖案的屬於任一單位感測單元之任一電極圖案及屬於另一毗鄰單位感測單元之另一電極圖案上,以延伸至該等電極圖案之各別邊緣部分。 Still another object of the present invention is to provide a touch sensor having an auxiliary electrode line formed on any electrode pattern belonging to any unit sensing unit constituting a conductive pattern and belonging to another adjacent unit The other electrode patterns of the sensing unit are extended to respective edge portions of the electrode patterns.

本發明經提供以解決由觸控感測器之一RC延遲所導致之一回應速度之劣化。一電容器之充電/放電時間由一RC電路中之電阻及電容來判定。 The present invention is provided to solve a degradation of a response speed caused by an RC delay of a touch sensor. The charging / discharging time of a capacitor is determined by the resistance and capacitance in an RC circuit.

充電:V(t)=V0(1-e-t/RC),放電:V(t)=V0e-t/RC Charging: V (t) = V 0 (1-e -t / RC ), Discharging: V (t) = V 0 e -t / RC

因此,由於t=R*C=τ[sec],因此若RC值較小,則可減少將電容器充電/放電所需要之時間。 Therefore, since t = R * C = τ [sec], if the RC value is small, the time required to charge / discharge the capacitor can be reduced.

本發明經提供以降低構成觸控感測器之一電路之電阻R,藉此最小化RC延遲。交替地引入用於連接電極圖案之橋接器。 The present invention is provided to reduce the resistance R of a circuit constituting a touch sensor, thereby minimizing the RC delay. Bridges for connecting electrode patterns are alternately introduced.

在本發明中,為了交替地引入用於連接電極圖案之橋接器,具有以下一結構之導電圖案經配置以彼此相交:在該結構中屬於構成任一感測區域之一單元之任一電極圖案及屬於構成另一毗鄰感測區域之一單元之另一電極圖案彼此連接。 In the present invention, in order to alternately introduce bridges for connecting electrode patterns, conductive patterns having a structure configured to intersect each other: any electrode pattern belonging to a unit constituting any one of the sensing regions in the structure And another electrode pattern belonging to a unit constituting another adjacent sensing region is connected to each other.

為此,根據本發明之導電圖案之基本結構如圖2a及圖2b中所展示。 To this end, the basic structure of the conductive pattern according to the present invention is shown in Figs. 2a and 2b.

圖2a展示經配置以使得在其長度方向上之中心軸沿著X軸之一導 電圖案之基本結構。一導電圖案200具有:一第一電極圖案20,其定位於任一第一感測單元區域中且具有一特定區;及一第二電極圖案21,其定位於另一毗鄰第二感測單元區域中且具有一特定區。第一電極圖案20及第二電極圖案21藉由區域A中之一連接圖案而連接,第一電極圖案20及第二電極圖案21不具有任何橋接器而沿X軸整體地彼此連接。 Figure 2a shows a configuration such that the central axis in its length direction is guided along one of the X axes The basic structure of electrical patterns. A conductive pattern 200 has: a first electrode pattern 20 positioned in any one of the first sensing unit regions with a specific area; and a second electrode pattern 21 positioned in another adjacent to the second sensing unit The area has a specific area. The first electrode pattern 20 and the second electrode pattern 21 are connected by one of the connection patterns in the area A. The first electrode pattern 20 and the second electrode pattern 21 are integrally connected to each other along the X axis without any bridge.

圖2b展示經配置以使得在其長度方向上之中心軸沿著Y軸之一導電圖案之基本結構。一導電圖案200具有:一第三電極圖案22,其定位於任一第一感測單元區域中且具有一特定區;及一第四電極圖案23,其定位於另一毗鄰第二感測單元區域中且具有一特定區。第三電極圖案22及第四電極圖案23藉由區域B中之一連接圖案而連接,第三電極圖案22及第四電極圖案23不具有任何橋接器而沿Y軸整體地彼此連接。 Figure 2b shows the basic structure of a conductive pattern configured such that the central axis in its length direction is along the Y axis. A conductive pattern 200 has: a third electrode pattern 22 positioned in any one of the first sensing unit regions with a specific area; and a fourth electrode pattern 23 positioned in another adjacent to the second sensing unit The area has a specific area. The third electrode pattern 22 and the fourth electrode pattern 23 are connected by one of the connection patterns in the area B. The third electrode pattern 22 and the fourth electrode pattern 23 are integrally connected to each other along the Y axis without any bridge.

此處,根據本發明之導電圖案之基本結構之已圖解說明呈一菱形形狀,但未必具有菱形形狀。將明瞭,導電圖案之基本結構可經組態呈另一形狀,只要該等導電圖案具有其中屬於構成任一感測區域之一單元之任一電極圖案連接至屬於構成另一毗鄰感測區域之一單元之另一電極圖案之一結構即可。 Here, the basic structure of the conductive pattern according to the present invention has been illustrated in a rhombus shape, but does not necessarily have a rhombus shape. It will be clear that the basic structure of the conductive pattern may be configured into another shape, as long as the conductive patterns have any electrode pattern in which one of the cells constituting one of the sensing regions is connected to one of the cells constituting another adjacent sensing region. One structure of another electrode pattern of one unit is sufficient.

在根據本發明之第一導電圖案之基本結構中,第一電極圖案、第二電極圖案以及連接第一及第二電極圖案之連接圖案係透過相同圖案化程序而形成於相同平面上。 In the basic structure of the first conductive pattern according to the present invention, the first electrode pattern, the second electrode pattern, and the connection pattern connecting the first and second electrode patterns are formed on the same plane through the same patterning procedure.

類似地,在第二導電圖案之基本結構中,第三電極圖案、第四電極圖案及連接第三及第四電極圖案之連接圖案係透過相同圖案化程序而形成於相同平面上。 Similarly, in the basic structure of the second conductive pattern, the third electrode pattern, the fourth electrode pattern, and the connection pattern connecting the third and fourth electrode patterns are formed on the same plane through the same patterning procedure.

其中根據本發明之具有前述結構之導電圖案經配置以使得在其長度方向上之中心軸沿X及Y方向彼此垂直相交之組態如下。 The configuration in which the conductive pattern having the aforementioned structure according to the present invention is configured so that the central axes in the length direction thereof intersect each other perpendicularly in the X and Y directions is as follows.

圖3係展示其中根據本發明導電圖案經配置以彼此相交之一組態之一視圖。 FIG. 3 is a view showing a configuration in which the conductive patterns according to the present invention are configured to intersect with each other.

圖3展示以下一結構:在該結構中圖2a中所圖解說明之結構之導電圖案經配置以使得在其長度方向上之中心軸沿著X軸成一列,且圖 2b中所圖解說明之結構之導電圖案經配置以使得在其長度方向上之中心軸沿著Y軸成一列。 FIG. 3 shows a structure in which the conductive pattern of the structure illustrated in FIG. 2a is configured such that the central axis in its length direction is aligned in a row along the X axis, and FIG. The conductive pattern of the structure illustrated in 2b is configured such that the central axis in its length direction is aligned along the Y axis.

為了執行線路電阻模擬,藉由在一個表面上形成X/Y主電極且將金屬橋接器施加至透明電極(ITO)而製造2×2單位之觸控感測器。 To perform a line resistance simulation, a 2 × 2 unit touch sensor is manufactured by forming an X / Y main electrode on one surface and applying a metal bridge to a transparent electrode (ITO).

所製造觸控感測器之ITO表面電阻為150[Ω/□],沿X軸及Y軸方向兩者之ITO電極間距為4mm,Cu(為一橋接器形成材料)之厚度為2000Å,且金屬橋接器之寬度為8μm。 The ITO surface resistance of the manufactured touch sensor is 150 [Ω / □], the distance between the ITO electrodes along the X-axis and Y-axis directions is 4 mm, and the thickness of Cu (which is a bridge forming material) is 2000 Å, and The width of the metal bridge is 8 μm.

為了執行線路電阻模擬,在比較實例(參考)以及實例1及實例2中之每一者中製造具有將構成一導電圖案之一電極圖案及另一電極圖案連接的兩個不同ITO寬度之部件之觸控感測器。 In order to perform a line resistance simulation, a component having two different ITO widths connecting one electrode pattern constituting a conductive pattern and the other electrode pattern was manufactured in a comparative example (reference) and each of examples 1 and 2. Touch sensor.

此係出於確認當構成Y電極之ITO在X/Y相交部分處之寬度減小時X/Y電阻之間的一差增加之一問題之發生之目的以便減小金屬橋接器之長度以改良可視性。 This is to confirm the occurrence of a problem in which a difference between X / Y resistance increases when the width of the ITO constituting the Y electrode at the X / Y intersection portion decreases in order to reduce the length of the metal bridge to improve visibility Sex.

首先,在藉由僅沿一個方向施加金屬橋接器而製造之習用觸控感測器之比較實例(參考)中,構成Y電極之ITO之寬度在案例1中設定至50μm且在案例2中設定至25μm。 First, in a comparative example (reference) of a conventional touch sensor manufactured by applying a metal bridge in only one direction, the width of the ITO constituting the Y electrode was set to 50 μm in case 1 and set in case 2 Up to 25 μm.

線路電阻模擬之結果展示,在比較實例(參考)之案例1中X及Y電極之線路電阻分別為1552Ω及2022Ω,且在比較實例(參考)之案例2中X及Y電極之線路電阻分別為1638Ω及2375Ω。 The results of the line resistance simulation show that the line resistances of the X and Y electrodes in case 1 of the comparative example (reference) are 1552Ω and 2022Ω, and the line resistances of the X and Y electrodes in case 2 of the comparative example (reference) are 1638Ω and 2375Ω.

線路電阻模擬之結果展示,實例1之案例1中之X及Y電極之線路電阻分別為1788Ω及1787Ω,且實例1之案例2中之X及Y電極之線路電阻分別為2006Ω及2005Ω。 The results of the line resistance simulation show that the line resistances of the X and Y electrodes in Case 1 of Example 1 are 1788Ω and 1787Ω, and the line resistances of the X and Y electrodes in Case 2 of Example 1 are 2006Ω and 2005Ω, respectively.

類似地,在其中金屬輔助電極經施加以彼此相交以降低Tx/Rx導電圖案之整體電阻之實例2中,構成Y電極之ITO之寬度在案例1中設定至50μm且在案例2中設定至25μm。 Similarly, in Example 2 where the metal auxiliary electrodes are applied to intersect each other to reduce the overall resistance of the Tx / Rx conductive pattern, the width of the ITO constituting the Y electrode is set to 50 μm in Case 1 and 25 μm in Case 2 .

線路電阻模擬之結果展示,實例2之案例1中之X及Y電極之線路電阻分別為303Ω及304Ω,且實例之案例2中之X及Y電極之線路電阻分別為446Ω及446Ω。 The results of the line resistance simulation show that the line resistances of the X and Y electrodes in Case 1 of Example 2 are 303Ω and 304Ω, and the line resistances of the X and Y electrodes in Case 2 of the example are 446Ω and 446Ω, respectively.

如表1中所展示,可確認隨著構成Y電極之ITO在X/Y相交部分處之寬度增加,X/Y電極之間的電阻差增加。此外,可確認當交替地引入用於連接電極圖案之橋接器時,可將X/Y電極之電阻設定至相同位準。 As shown in Table 1, it can be confirmed that as the width of the ITO constituting the Y electrode at the X / Y intersection portion increases, the resistance difference between the X / Y electrodes increases. In addition, it was confirmed that when the bridges for connecting the electrode patterns were alternately introduced, the resistance of the X / Y electrodes could be set to the same level.

此外,可見金屬輔助電極經施加以彼此相交,藉此降低Tx/Rx導電圖案之整體電阻。因此,可能製造一大面積/高速回應觸控感測器。 In addition, it can be seen that the metal auxiliary electrodes are applied to intersect each other, thereby reducing the overall resistance of the Tx / Rx conductive pattern. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a large area / high-speed response touch sensor.

在根據本發明之觸控感測器中,構成感測單元之導電圖案及用於連接該等導電圖案之橋接器交替地形成於Tx/Rx通道區域中,藉此改良由於通道電阻所致之一信號延遲。 In the touch sensor according to the present invention, the conductive patterns constituting the sensing unit and the bridges for connecting the conductive patterns are alternately formed in the Tx / Rx channel region, thereby improving the effects caused by the channel resistance.
