FIGS. 2 through 5 show top views of the touch panels according to the first through the fourth embodiments of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 2 first, atouch panel 200 has at least onefirst sensing series 210 and at least onesecond sensing series 220. Thefirst sensing series 210 extends along a first direction D1. Thefirst sensing series 210 includes a plurality offirst sensing pads 212 and at least onefirst bridge line 214. Thefirst bridge line 214 connects two adjacentfirst sensing pads 212. A material of thefirst bridge line 214 differs from a material of thefirst sensing pads 212. Thesecond sensing series 220 extends along a second direction D2. The first direction D1 is different from the second direction D2. For example, the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2. Thesecond sensing series 220 includes a plurality ofsecond sensing pads 222 and at least onesecond bridge line 224. Thesecond bridge line 224 connects two adjacentsecond sensing pads 222. - In addition, the
touch panel 200 further includes a plurality of fan-out traces 230. The fan-outtraces 230 are connected to thefirst sensing series 210 and thesecond sensing series 220. A material of the fan-outtraces 230 may be substantially the same as or different from the material of thefirst sensing pads 212. The fan-outtraces 230 are mainly used for transmitting sensing signals from thefirst sensing series 210 and thesecond sensing series 220 to a control circuit and/or for transmitting control signals from the control circuit to thefirst sensing series 210 and thesecond sensing series 220. - It should be noted that a conductivity of the
first bridge line 214 is larger than a conductivity of thefirst sensing pads 212. For example, the material of thefirst sensing pads 212 includes transparent conductive oxide, and the material of thefirst bridge line 214 includes metal. In practice, the metal includes aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), MoAl alloy, titanium (Ti), TiAl alloy, silver (Ag), AgPd alloy or any combination of the foregoing. The transparent conductive oxide includes indium zinc oxide (IZO), indium tin oxide (ITO) or any combination of the foregoing. The above-listed materials are only exemplary and not intended to limit the present invention. According to the present embodiment, the sheet resistance of thefirst bridge line 214 is about 0.01 Ω/□ to 1000 Ω/□, and the sheet resistance of thefirst sensing pads 212 is about 0.01 Ω/□ to 1000 Ω/□.

In the meantime,second sensing pads 222 andsecond bridge lines 224 constituting thesecond sensing series 320 are manufactured with the same material, for example. In other words, the design of the present embodiment reduces a signal transmission sheet resistance of the touch panel in the first direction D1 and facilitates enhancing a signal transmission quality in the first direction D1. - Overall, if a material of higher conductivity such as metal is used to manufacture the
first bridge lines 214 inFIG. 2 or inFIG. 3 , the signal transmission sheet resistances of thetouch panels touch panel - Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment. Referring to

Meanwhile, asecond bridge line 424 of asecond sensing series 420 is also constituted by secondbridge line sections 424A and secondbridge line sections 424B manufactured with different materials, for example. For example, the firstbridge line sections 414A and the secondbridge line sections 424A are manufactured with materials of high conductivity such as metal. - In such designs, the transmission sheet resistances of the
first bridge lines 414 and thesecond bridge lines 424 are reduced by employing the high-conductivity materials. Therefore, the signal transmission quality of thetouch panel 400 in the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are effectively enhanced. - Furthermore, referring to
FIG. 5 , in order for atouch panel 500 to have more satisfactory signal transmission quality, allfirst bridge lines 514 andsecond bridge lines 524 are manufactured with materials of high conductivity such as metal. Accordingly, afirst sensing series 510 and asecond sensing series 520 both achieve satisfactory signal transmission quality. FromFIGS. 2 through 5 , thetouch panels FIGS. 2 through 5 .

Referring to bothFIGS. 5 and 6 , thetouch panel 500 substantially includes asubstrate 502, thefirst sensing series 510 and thesecond sensing series 520. Thefirst sensing series 510 and thesecond sensing series 520 are both disposed on thesubstrate 502. Further,first sensing pads 512 are co-planar withsecond sensing pads 522, for example. In addition, thetouch panel 500 further includes a firstdielectric layer 540 covering thefirst sensing series 510 and thesecond sensing pads 522. Thefirst dielectric layer 540 has a plurality ofwindows 542, for example. Thesecond bridge lines 524 are disposed on thefirst dielectric layer 540 and connect thesecond sensing pads 522 through thewindows 542. In other words, thesecond bridge lines 524 cross over thefirst bridge lines 514 and connect between two adjacentsecond sensing pads 522. - In order to provide proper protection, the
touch panel 500 further includes asecond dielectric layer 550 disposed on thefirst dielectric layer 540 to cover thefirst sensing series 510 and thesecond sensing series 520. It should be noted that according to the present embodiment thefirst bridge lines 514 and thesecond bridge lines 524 are both manufactured with materials of high conductivity, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. According to other embodiments, thefirst bridge line 514 and thesecond bridge line 524 interlaced with each other may have only one of them or a portion of them manufactured with materials of high conductivity, such as the designs of thetouch panels FIGS. 2 through 4 . - Still referring to both
FIGS. 5 and 6 , specifically, a manufacturing method of thetouch panel 500 includes the following. First, form at least onefirst sensing series 510 on thesubstrate 502. Thefirst sensing series 510 extends along a first direction D1. Thefirst sensing series 510 includes a plurality offirst sensing pads 512 and a plurality of first bridge lines 514. Each of thefirst bridge lines 514 connects two adjacentfirst sensing pads 512. Afterwards, form at least onesecond sensing series 520 on thesubstrate 502. Thesecond sensing series 520 extends along a second direction D2. The first direction D1 is different from the second direction D2. For example, the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2. Each of thesecond sensing series 520 includes a plurality ofsecond sensing pads 522 and a plurality of second bridge lines 524. Each of thesecond bridge lines 524 connects two adjacentsecond sensing pads 522. - Specifically, in the present embodiment, the steps of forming the
first sensing series 510 and thesecond sensing series 520 includes forming thefirst sensing pads 512, thefirst bridge lines 514 and thesecond sensing pads 522 on thesubstrate 502, so that thefirst sensing pads 512, thefirst bridge lines 514 and thesecond sensing pads 522 are co-planar with one another. In other words, thefirst sensing pads 512 and thesecond sensing pads 522 are formed in the same step and manufactured with the same material on a surface of thesubstrate 502. Thereafter, form a firstdielectric layer 540 on thesubstrate 502 to cover thefirst sensing pads 512, thefirst bridge lines 514 and thesecond sensing pads 522. Then, form a plurality ofwindows 542 inside thefirst dielectric layer 540. Next, form thesecond bridge lines 524 on thefirst dielectric layer 540 such that each of thesecond bridge lines 524 connects the correspondingsecond sensing pads 522 through thecorresponding windows 542. Furthermore, selectively form asecond dielectric layer 550 on thefirst dielectric layer 540 to cover thefirst sensing series 510 and thesecond sensing series 520. - The
first sensing pads 512 and thesecond sensing pads 514 are both manufactured with transparent conductive materials, for example. Usually, these transparent conductive materials would generate visual difference if they are disposed on different planes. According to the present embodiment, thefirst sensing pads 512 and thesecond sensing pads 522 are disposed on the same plane, and thus no visual difference exists between thefirst sensing pads 512 and thesecond sensing pads 522. Therefore, when thetouch panel 500 is integrated with a display panel as a display having a touch-control function, thetouch panel 500 has more satisfactory optical properties. For example, the display panel may be electrically connected to thetouch panel 500, and the display panel includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, an electro-luminescent display panel, a plasma display panel or a micro electromechanical display panel.

Referring to bothFIGS. 5 and 8 , in a design of the cross-sectional structure of thetouch panel 500, a firstdielectric layer 840 may cover the first bridge lines 514. Thefirst sensing pads 512 and the second sensing series 520 (not shown byFIG. 8 ) are disposed on thefirst dielectric layer 840. Additionally, thefirst dielectric layer 840 has a plurality ofwindows 842, and thefirst bridge line 514 connects thefirst sensing pads 512 through thecorresponding window 842. Furthermore, thesecond dielectric layer 550 covers thefirst sensing series 510 and thesecond sensing series 520. - According to the present embodiment, the
first dielectric layer 840 only covers the first bridge lines 514. A portion of thefirst dielectric layer 840 is disposed between thefirst sensing pads 512 and thesubstrate 502, and a portion of thefirst dielectric layer 840 is disposed between the second sensing pads 522 (not shown byFIG. 8 ) and thesubstrate 502. In other words, according to the present embodiment, thefirst sensing pads 512 and the second sensing pads 522 (not shown byFIG. 8 ) are simultaneously disposed on thefirst dielectric layer 840. Thus, thefirst sensing pads 512 are substantially co-planar with the second sensing pads 522 (not shown byFIG. 8 ) so that thetouch panel 500 achieves good optical properties. Certainly, according to the present embodiment, thefirst bridge lines 514 and thesecond bridge lines 524 may be entirely or only partially manufactured with metal materials of high conductivity. Thus, thetouch panel 500 has good signal transmission quality. - Specifically, the cross-sectional structure of the
touch panel 500 as shown byFIG. 8 is manufactured by the following. First, form thefirst bridge lines 514 on thesubstrate 502. Thereafter, form thefirst dielectric layer 840 over thefirst bridge lines 514 and thesubstrate 502. Form the plurality ofwindows 842 in thefirst dielectric layer 840. Thewindows 842 substantially expose a portion of each of the first bridge lines 514. Next, form thefirst sensing pads 512 and thesecond sensing series 520 on thefirst dielectric layer 840. HereinFIG. 8 only shows the second bridge lines 524.

sensing pads first dielectric layer 840. In other words, thefirst sensing pads 512 and thesecond sensing pads 522 are substantially disposed on the same plane. At this moment, thetouch panel 500 would not have any visual difference derived from thefirst sensing pads 512 and thesecond sensing pads 522 being disposed on different planes. In other words, when thetouch panel 500 is designed to be integrated with a display panel as a touch screen display, the touch screen display achieves good display quality. - Further,
FIG. 9 shows the touch panel according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 9 first, atouch panel 900 has afirst sensing series 910 and asecond sensing series 920. Thefirst sensing series 910 extends along a first direction D1 and includes a plurality offirst sensing pads 912 and afirst bridge line 914. Thefirst bridge line 914 connects all of thefirst sensing pads 912, for example. A material of thefirst bridge line 914 differs from a material of thefirst sensing pads 912. Thesecond sensing series 920 extends along a second direction D2. The first direction D1 is different from the second direction D2. Thesecond sensing series 920 includes a plurality ofsecond sensing pads 922 and a plurality of second bridge lines 924. Each of thesecond bridge lines 924 connects two adjacentsecond sensing pads 922. Moreover, thetouch panel 900 further has a plurality of fan-outtraces 930 so that signals on thefirst sensing pads 912 and thesecond sensing pads 922 are transmitted to corresponding control circuits. - According to the present embodiment, the
first bridge line 914 connects all of thefirst sensing pads 912 on thefirst sensing series 910. In other words, thefirst bridge line 914 is a single line overlapping and connecting with thefirst sensing pads 912 on the samefirst sensing series 910. Further, thefirst bridge line 914 is manufactured with a material of high conductivity, such as metal. Generally, thefirst bridge line 914 manufactured with metal provides very good signal transmission quality. However, a light-shielding property of metal itself may result in poor light transmittance or uneven visual effect in thetouch panel 900. Nevertheless, according to the present embodiment, since use of metal as the material has produced very good signal transmission quality, thefirst bridge line 914 may be designed to have a narrower line width. For example, the line width of thefirst bridge line 914 is smaller than a line width of thesecond bridge line 924. In other words, the line width of thefirst bridge line 914 may be appropriately reduced to avoid uneven light transmittance experienced by human eyes when viewing thetouch panel 900. - Overall, the
first bridge line 914 with a high conductivity and in long strip shape is employed to connect all the correspondingfirst sensing pads 912 in the present embodiment. As a result, the signal transmission quality of thetouch panel 900 is effectively enhanced at least in the first direction D1. Certainly, to further enhance the signal transmission quality of thetouch panel 900 in the second direction D2, thesecond bridge lines 924 may also be selectively manufactured with a metal material of high conductivity. The present invention does not limit the material of the second bridge lines 924. Furthermore, according to other embodiments, the designs of thefirst bridge line 914 and thesecond bridge lines 924 are interchangeable so that thesecond bridge lines 924 may serve as transmission lines of high conductivity to connect all of thesecond sensing pads 922. The present invention does not limit in this aspect. - Specifically,

At this moment, thefirst bridge line 914 is electrically connected to thefirst sensing pads 912 through the corresponding window (not shown). Thesecond bridge lines 924 cross over thefirst dielectric layer 940 between two adjacentsecond sensing pads 922 to connect thesecond sensing pads 922. - According to the present embodiment, besides the
first bridge line 914 directly disposed on thesubstrate 902, thefirst sensing pads 912 and thesecond sensing pads 922 may also be directly disposed on thesubstrate 902. In other words, thefirst sensing pads 912 and thesecond sensing pads 922 are disposed on the same plane.
