Description
技术领域technical field
本公开涉及一种触摸窗。The present disclosure relates to a touch window.
背景技术Background technique
近来,由输入装置(诸如,手指或手写笔)通过触摸在显示装置上显示的图像而执行输入功能的触摸窗已应用于各种电器。Recently, a touch window performing an input function by an input device such as a finger or a stylus by touching an image displayed on a display device has been applied to various electric appliances.
触摸窗可以通常被分类成电阻式触摸窗和电容式触摸窗。在电阻式触摸窗中,玻璃和电极由于输入装置的压力而彼此短路,使得检测触点的位置。在电容式触摸窗中,通过感测当手指触摸电容式触摸窗时电极之间的电容变化来检测触点的位置。Touch windows can be generally classified into resistive touch windows and capacitive touch windows. In the resistive touch window, glass and electrodes are short-circuited to each other due to the pressure of the input device, so that the position of the touch point is detected. In the capacitive touch window, the position of the touch point is detected by sensing a change in capacitance between electrodes when a finger touches the capacitive touch window.
随着电阻式触摸窗重复使用,电阻式触摸窗的性能可能退化,并且在电阻式触摸窗中可能出现划痕。因此,具有优秀耐用性和长寿命的电容式触摸窗更受关注。As the resistive touch window is repeatedly used, the performance of the resistive touch window may degrade, and scratches may occur in the resistive touch window. Therefore, capacitive touch windows with excellent durability and long life have attracted more attention.
这种触摸窗可以根据电极的位置以各种类型形成。例如,电极可以形成在基板的一个表面或两个表面上。Such a touch window may be formed in various types according to positions of electrodes. For example, electrodes may be formed on one surface or both surfaces of the substrate.
电极以及与其连接的线电极布置在基板的一个表面上,使得触摸电极时检测到触摸操作,从而执行与触摸操作相对应的操作。The electrodes and wire electrodes connected thereto are arranged on one surface of the substrate so that a touch operation is detected when the electrodes are touched, thereby performing an operation corresponding to the touch operation.
在这种情况下,触摸窗的反射性和可见性可能由于基板与电极之间的材料差异而退化。例如,当布置在基板上的电极布置成与显示面板相对时,从外部入射的光从电极反射,并因此,触摸窗的可见性可能退化。In this case, the reflectivity and visibility of the touch window may be degraded due to the material difference between the substrate and the electrodes. For example, when electrodes arranged on the substrate are arranged opposite to the display panel, light incident from the outside is reflected from the electrodes, and thus, the visibility of the touch window may be degraded.
同时,当基板具有光学各向异性时,可能出现彩虹现象。具体地,当使用偏光太阳镜时,容易观察到彩虹现象。Meanwhile, when the substrate has optical anisotropy, a rainbow phenomenon may appear. Specifically, when polarized sunglasses are used, a rainbow phenomenon is easily observed.
此外,当基板具有光学各向同性时,根据偏光板的偏光方向以及偏光太阳镜的方向和角度,可能出现屏幕变黑的黑视现象。因此,触摸窗的可见性可能退化。In addition, when the substrate has optical isotropy, depending on the polarizing direction of the polarizing plate and the direction and angle of the polarizing sunglasses, a blackout phenomenon in which the screen turns black may occur. Therefore, the visibility of the touch window may be degraded.
因此,需要一种能解决前述问题的具有新型结构的触摸窗。Therefore, there is a need for a touch window with a novel structure that can solve the aforementioned problems.
发明内容Contents of the invention
实施例提供了降低反射性且具有改进可见性的触摸窗(touch window)。Embodiments provide a touch window with reduced reflectivity and improved visibility.
在一个实施例中,触摸窗,包括:基板;感测电极,该感测电极布置在基板的一个表面上;第一抗反射层(first anti-reflective layer),该第一抗反射层布置在感测电极的一个表面上;以及第二抗反射层(second anti-reflective layer),该第二抗反射层布置在基板的另一表面上,其中第一抗反射层和第二抗反射层包括彼此不同的材料。In one embodiment, the touch window includes: a substrate; a sensing electrode arranged on one surface of the substrate; a first anti-reflective layer (first anti-reflective layer), the first anti-reflective layer arranged on on one surface of the sensing electrode; and a second anti-reflective layer (second anti-reflective layer), which is arranged on the other surface of the substrate, wherein the first anti-reflective layer and the second anti-reflective layer include different materials from each other.
在另一实施例中,触摸窗包括:基板;以及感测电极,该感测电极布置在基板上,其中感测电极包括第一感测电极和第二感测电极,其中基板在其厚度方向上具有4500nm或更大的相位差。In another embodiment, the touch window includes: a substrate; and a sensing electrode arranged on the substrate, wherein the sensing electrode includes a first sensing electrode and a second sensing electrode, wherein the substrate is have a phase difference of 4500nm or more.
根据实施例的触摸窗能够降低反射性并具有改进的可见性。详细地,抗反射层被布置在感测电极的一个表面上,使得可以减小从感测电极反射的光的量。The touch window according to the embodiment can reduce reflectivity and have improved visibility. In detail, an anti-reflection layer is disposed on one surface of the sensing electrode so that the amount of light reflected from the sensing electrode can be reduced.
此外,另一抗反射层被布置在基板的一个表面上,使得可以减小从基板反射的光的量。In addition, another anti-reflection layer is disposed on one surface of the substrate, so that the amount of light reflected from the substrate can be reduced.
因此,可以降低从基板和感测电极反射的光的反射性。Accordingly, reflectivity of light reflected from the substrate and the sensing electrodes can be reduced.
此外,减小感测电极与基板之间的折射率的差的匹配层被布置在感测电极的另一表面上,使得可以防止从外部观看到电极图案,从而改进触摸窗的可见性。In addition, a matching layer that reduces a difference in refractive index between the sensing electrode and the substrate is disposed on the other surface of the sensing electrode, so that the electrode pattern can be prevented from being viewed from the outside, thereby improving visibility of the touch window.
因此,根据该实施例的触摸窗能够具有低反射性和改进的可见性。Therefore, the touch window according to this embodiment can have low reflectivity and improved visibility.
在根据实施例的触摸窗中,感测电极可以布置在基板上,并且基板在其厚度方向上可以具有4500nm或更大的相位差。In the touch window according to the embodiment, the sensing electrodes may be arranged on the substrate, and the substrate may have a phase difference of 4500 nm or more in a thickness direction thereof.
即,根据该实施例的触摸窗由于拉伸而在其厚度上可以具有4500nm或更大的相位差。因此,根据实施例的触摸窗能够防止彩虹现象。That is, the touch window according to this embodiment may have a phase difference of 4500 nm or more in its thickness due to stretching. Therefore, the touch window according to the embodiment can prevent the rainbow phenomenon.
此外,基板可以是光学各向异性基板。因此,能够防止黑视(blackout)现象。In addition, the substrate may be an optically anisotropic substrate. Therefore, a blackout phenomenon can be prevented.

在下面的描述中,当部件连接至另一部件时,部件不仅直接地彼此连接,而且也可以在其之间插入另一部件时间接地彼此连接。此外,当预定部件“包括预定元件时,该预定部件不排除其他元件,但除非另有说明,否则其还可以包括其他元件。In the following description, when a component is connected to another component, the components are not only directly connected to each other but also temporally connected to each other with another component interposed therebetween. In addition, when a predetermined part "includes a predetermined element, the predetermined part does not exclude other elements, but it may also include other elements unless otherwise specified.
为了方便或简化解释的目的,附图中所示的每个层(或膜)、每个区域、每个图案或每个结构的厚度和尺寸可以修改。此外,要素的尺寸并非完全反应实际尺寸。The thickness and size of each layer (or film), each region, each pattern, or each structure shown in the drawings may be modified for the purpose of convenience or simplified explanation. Also, the size of the elements may not fully reflect the actual size.
参考图1至图6,根据第一实施例的触摸窗10可以包括基板100、装饰层200、感测电极300、线电极(wire electrode)400和印刷电路板500。Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 , the touch window 10 according to the first embodiment may include a substrate 100 , a decoration layer 200 , a sensing electrode 300 , a wire electrode 400 and a printed circuit board 500 .
电极100可以是刚性的或柔性的。Electrode 100 may be rigid or flexible.
例如,基板100可以包括玻璃或塑料。详细地,基板100可以包括化学钢化/半钢化玻璃(诸如,钠钙玻璃或铝硅酸盐玻璃)、增强的或柔性的塑料(诸如,聚酰亚胺(PI)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、丙二醇(PPG)或聚碳酸酯(PC))或者蓝宝石。For example, the substrate 100 may include glass or plastic. In detail, the substrate 100 may include chemically tempered/semi-tempered glass (such as soda lime glass or aluminosilicate glass), reinforced or flexible plastic (such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate glycol ester (PET), propylene glycol (PPG) or polycarbonate (PC)) or sapphire.
此外,基板100可以包括光学各向同性膜。例如,基板100可以包括环烯烃共聚物(COC)、环烯烃聚合物(COP)、光学各向同性聚碳酸酯(PC)、光学各向同性聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PPMA)等。In addition, the substrate 100 may include an optically isotropic film. For example, the substrate 100 may include cycloolefin copolymer (COC), cycloolefin polymer (COP), optically isotropic polycarbonate (PC), optically isotropic polymethylmethacrylate (PPMA), or the like.
蓝宝石是一种具有优秀电学特性(诸如,介电常数)的材料,使得触摸响应速度可以被显著增加并且可以容易实现诸如悬停的空间触摸(space touch)。此外,由于蓝宝石具有高表面硬度,所以蓝宝石可应用于盖基板。这里,悬停指的是用于甚至在与显示器间隔开短距离的位置中识别坐标的技术。Sapphire is a material having excellent electrical characteristics such as dielectric constant, so that touch response speed can be significantly increased and space touch such as hovering can be easily realized. In addition, since sapphire has high surface hardness, sapphire may be applied to a cover substrate. Here, hovering refers to a technique for identifying coordinates even in locations spaced a short distance from the display.
此外,基板100可以局部弯成具有弯曲表面。即,基板100可以弯曲成具有部分平坦表面和部分弯曲表面。详细地,基板100的一端可以弯成具有弯曲表面或者可以弯成或翘曲成具有包括随机曲率的表面。In addition, the substrate 100 may be partially bent to have a curved surface. That is, the substrate 100 may be curved to have a partially flat surface and a partially curved surface. In detail, one end of the substrate 100 may be bent to have a curved surface or may be bent or warped to have a surface including random curvature.
另外,基板100可以是具有柔性性质的柔性基板。In addition, the substrate 100 may be a flexible substrate having a flexible property.
此外,基板100可以是弯曲的或弯的基板。即,包括基板100的触摸窗还可以形成为具有柔性的、弯曲的或弯的性质。因此,根据该实施例的触摸窗易于携带并且可以在设计上不同地变化。In addition, the substrate 100 may be a curved or curved substrate. That is, the touch window including the substrate 100 may also be formed to have a flexible, curved or bent property. Therefore, the touch window according to this embodiment is easy to carry and can be variously changed in design.
基板100可以包括盖基板。即,基板100可以是盖基板。可替选地,独立的盖基板还可以布置在基板的一个表面和另一表面中的至少一个处。此外,当独立的盖基板进一步布置在基板100上时,基板和盖基板可以通过粘附层彼此附接。因此,盖基板和基板可以独立地形成,并由此在触摸窗的批量生产上是有利的。The substrate 100 may include a cover substrate. That is, the substrate 100 may be a cover substrate. Alternatively, a separate cover substrate may also be arranged at at least one of the one surface and the other surface of the substrate. In addition, when an independent cover substrate is further disposed on the substrate 100, the substrate and the cover substrate may be attached to each other through an adhesive layer. Therefore, the cover substrate and the substrate can be independently formed, and thus it is advantageous in mass production of the touch window.
基板100可以包括本文限定的有源区AA和无源区UA。The substrate 100 may include an active area AA and an unactive area UA as defined herein.
图像可以显示在有源区AA中,并且图像不可以显示在布置于有源区AA周围的无源区UA中。An image may be displayed in the active area AA, and an image may not be displayed in the unactive area UA arranged around the active area AA.
此外,可以在有源区AA和无源区UA中的至少一个中检测输入装置(例如,手指、手写笔等)的位置。如果输入装置(诸如,手指)与触摸窗接触,则在输入装置与触摸窗接触的部分处出现电容变化,并且出现电容变化的部分可以被检测为接触位置。Also, a position of an input device (eg, a finger, a stylus, etc.) may be detected in at least one of the active area AA and the unactive area UA. If an input device such as a finger is in contact with the touch window, a capacitance change occurs at a portion where the input device contacts the touch window, and the portion where the capacitance change occurs may be detected as a contact position.
装饰层200可以被布置在基板100的无源区上。装饰层200可以根据期望外观的各种颜色实现。The decoration layer 200 may be disposed on the inactive area of the substrate 100 . The decoration layer 200 may be realized in various colors according to a desired appearance.
装饰层200可以通过涂覆具有预定颜色的材料而形成,这样使得不能从外部看到线电极、使线电极与外部电路连接的印刷电路板等。The decoration layer 200 may be formed by coating a material having a predetermined color such that a wire electrode, a printed circuit board connecting the wire electrode with an external circuit, and the like cannot be seen from the outside.
装饰层200可以具有适用于期望外观的颜色。例如,装饰层200可以包括白色或黑色颜料以呈现黑色或白色。例如,装饰层200可以通过沉积、印刷、湿涂覆等而形成。可替选地,装饰层200可以包括各种颜色的膜以呈现各种颜色,诸如红色和蓝色。The decoration layer 200 may have a color suitable for a desired appearance. For example, the decoration layer 200 may include white or black pigment to appear black or white. For example, the decoration layer 200 may be formed by deposition, printing, wet coating, and the like. Alternatively, the decoration layer 200 may include films of various colors to represent various colors, such as red and blue.
此外,期望的标志等可以各种方法形成在装饰层200上。In addition, desired logos and the like may be formed on the decoration layer 200 in various ways.
感测电极300可以布置在基板100上。详细地,感测电极300可以布置在基板100的有源区AA上。The sensing electrodes 300 may be disposed on the substrate 100 . In detail, the sensing electrode 300 may be disposed on the active area AA of the substrate 100 .
感测电极300可以包括导电材料。例如,感测电极300可以包括允许电力流动而不中断光透射的透明导电材料。例如,感测电极300可以包括金属氧化物,诸如铟锡氧化物、铟锌氧化物、氧化铜、氧化锡、氧化锌或氧化钛。因此,由于透明材料布置在感测有源区上,所以可以提高形成感测电极的图案的自由度。The sensing electrode 300 may include a conductive material. For example, the sensing electrode 300 may include a transparent conductive material that allows power to flow without interrupting light transmission. For example, the sensing electrode 300 may include a metal oxide such as indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, copper oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, or titanium oxide. Accordingly, since the transparent material is disposed on the sensing active region, a degree of freedom in forming a pattern of the sensing electrode may be improved.
可替选地,电极300可以包括纳米线、光敏纳米线膜、碳纳米管(CNT)、石墨烯、导电聚合物或其混合物。因此,由于透明材料布置在感测有源区上,所以可以提高形成感测电极的图案的自由度。Alternatively, the electrode 300 may include nanowires, photosensitive nanowire films, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, conductive polymers, or mixtures thereof. Accordingly, since the transparent material is disposed on the sensing active region, a degree of freedom in forming a pattern of the sensing electrode may be improved.
如果使用纳米复合材料(诸如纳米线或CNT),则感测电极可以实现为黑色。在这种情况下,能够通过控制纳米粉末的含量来控制颜色和反射率,同时确保导电性。因此,当制造柔性的和/或可弯曲的触摸窗时,可提高自由度。If nanocomposite materials such as nanowires or CNTs are used, the sensing electrodes can be realized in black. In this case, it is possible to control the color and reflectance while ensuring electrical conductivity by controlling the content of the nanopowder. Therefore, the degree of freedom can be increased when manufacturing a flexible and/or bendable touch window.
可替选地,电极层300可以包括各种金属。例如,感测电极可以包括铬(Cr)、镍(Ni)、铜(Cu)、铝(Al)、银(Ag)、钼(Mo)、金(Au)、钛(Ti)中的至少一个及其合金。Alternatively, the electrode layer 300 may include various metals. For example, the sensing electrode may include at least one of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), molybdenum (Mo), gold (Au), titanium (Ti) and its alloys.
感测电极300可以包括第一感测电极310和第二感测电极320。The sensing electrode 300 may include a first sensing electrode 310 and a second sensing electrode 320 .
第一感测电极310可以布置在盖基板100的有源区AA上,同时在第一方向上延伸。此外,第二感测电极320可以布置在盖基板100的有源区域AA上同时在第二方向上延伸。详细地,第二感测电极320可以布置在盖基板100上同时在与第一方向不同的第二方向上延伸。即,第一感测电极310和第二感测电极320可以布置在盖基板100的相同平面上以在彼此不同的方向上延伸。The first sensing electrode 310 may be disposed on the active area AA of the cover substrate 100 while extending in the first direction. In addition, the second sensing electrode 320 may be disposed on the active area AA of the cover substrate 100 while extending in the second direction. In detail, the second sensing electrode 320 may be disposed on the cover substrate 100 while extending in a second direction different from the first direction. That is, the first sensing electrodes 310 and the second sensing electrodes 320 may be arranged on the same plane of the cover substrate 100 to extend in different directions from each other.
第一感测电极310和第二感测电极320可以布置在盖基板100上以彼此绝缘。详细地,第一感测电极310通过第一连接电极311而彼此连接,绝缘层350布置在第一连接电极311上,并且第二连接电极321布置在绝缘层350上,使得第二感测电极320可以通过第二连接电极321连接。The first sensing electrode 310 and the second sensing electrode 320 may be disposed on the cover substrate 100 to be insulated from each other. In detail, the first sensing electrodes 310 are connected to each other through the first connection electrodes 311, the insulating layer 350 is disposed on the first connection electrodes 311, and the second connection electrodes 321 are disposed on the insulating layer 350, so that the second sensing electrodes 320 may be connected through a second connection electrode 321 .
因此,第一感测电极310和第二感测电极320彼此不接触,并且可以一起布置在盖基板100的相同表面(即,有源区的一个表面)上,以彼此绝缘。此外,感测电极300可以形成为网格形状。由于感测电极具有网格形状,所以不能看到感测电极的图案。即,虽然感测电极由金属形成,但不能看到该图案。此外,即使在感测电极被应用于大尺寸触摸窗时,触摸窗的电阻可降低。此外,感测电极和线电极可使用相同材料同时形成图案。Accordingly, the first sensing electrode 310 and the second sensing electrode 320 do not contact each other, and may be arranged together on the same surface (ie, one surface of the active region) of the cover substrate 100 to be insulated from each other. In addition, the sensing electrodes 300 may be formed in a mesh shape. Since the sensing electrodes have a grid shape, the pattern of the sensing electrodes cannot be seen. That is, although the sensing electrodes are formed of metal, the pattern cannot be seen. In addition, even when the sensing electrodes are applied to a large-sized touch window, the resistance of the touch window can be reduced. In addition, the sensing electrodes and the wire electrodes may be simultaneously patterned using the same material.
感测电极300可以包括多个子电极,并且子电极可以布置成网格形状同时彼此交叉。The sensing electrode 300 may include a plurality of sub-electrodes, and the sub-electrodes may be arranged in a grid shape while crossing each other.
详细地,由于子电极彼此交叉成网格形状,所以感测电极300可以包括网格线以及网格线之间的网格开口。In detail, since the sub-electrodes cross each other in a grid shape, the sensing electrode 300 may include grid lines and grid openings between the grid lines.
网格线可以具有大约0.1μm到大约10μm的线宽。如果网格线的线宽小于0.1μm,则能够通过制造工艺形成网格线,或者可以在网格线中出现短路。如果网格线的线宽超过10μm,则可以从外部看到电极图案,并因此,可见性可能降低。优选地,网格线的线宽可以是大约0.5μm至大约7μm。更优选地,网格线的线宽可以是大约1μm至大约3.5μm。The grid lines may have a line width of about 0.1 μm to about 10 μm.

When the thickness of the grid lines is less than about 100 nm, electrode resistance may increase, and thus, electrical properties may be degraded. When the thickness of the grid lines exceeds about 500 nm, the total thickness of the touch window may be thickened, and process efficiency may be degraded. Preferably, the thickness of the grid lines may be about 150 nm to about 200 nm. More preferably, the thickness of the grid lines may be about 180 nm to about 200 nm.

That is, since the substrate 100 is an optically anisotropic substrate, it is possible to prevent a blackout phenomenon that may be observed by a user wearing polarized sunglasses when an optically isotropic substrate is used.
基板100在其厚度方向上可以具有4500nm或更大的相位差。例如,基板100在其厚度方向上可以具有4500nm至10000nm的相位差。例如,基板100在其厚度方向上可以具有4500nm至8000nm的相位差。The substrate 100 may have a phase difference of 4500 nm or more in its thickness direction. For example, the substrate 100 may have a phase difference of 4500 nm to 10000 nm in its thickness direction. For example, the substrate 100 may have a phase difference of 4500 nm to 8000 nm in its thickness direction.
基板100由于在一个轴向方向上拉伸而在其厚度方向上具有4500nm或更大的相位差。例如,由于PET在一个轴向方向上拉伸,所以基板100在其厚度方向上可以具有4500nm或更大的相位差。即,基板100可以是单轴相位差膜。The substrate 100 has a phase difference of 4500 nm or more in its thickness direction due to stretching in one axial direction. For example, since PET is stretched in one axial direction, the substrate 100 may have a phase difference of 4500 nm or more in its thickness direction. That is, the substrate 100 may be a uniaxial retardation film.
当在基板100的厚度方向上的相位差小于4500nm时,可能发生彩虹现象。具体地,当使用偏光太阳镜时,可以容易观察到彩虹现象。When the phase difference in the thickness direction of the substrate 100 is less than 4500 nm, a rainbow phenomenon may occur. Specifically, when polarized sunglasses are used, a rainbow phenomenon can be easily observed.
当在基板100的厚度方向上的相位差为10000nm时,触摸窗的厚度会增加。详细地,由于基板100的厚度增加,所以在基板100的厚度方向上的相位差可以具有较大的值。When the phase difference in the thickness direction of the substrate 100 is 10000 nm, the thickness of the touch window increases. In detail, since the thickness of the substrate 100 increases, the phase difference in the thickness direction of the substrate 100 may have a larger value.
由于基板100通过拉伸而形成,所以在基板100的厚度方向上的相位差可以是4500nm或更大。因此,根据该实施例的触摸窗可防止彩虹现象。Since the substrate 100 is formed by stretching, the phase difference in the thickness direction of the substrate 100 may be 4500 nm or more. Therefore, the touch window according to this embodiment can prevent the rainbow phenomenon.
即,包括基板100的触摸窗可以具有改进的可见性。That is, the touch window including the substrate 100 may have improved visibility.
基板100的厚度可以是100μm或更小。例如,基板100的厚度可以是50μm至100μm。例如,基板100的厚度可以是80μm至100μm。The thickness of the substrate 100 may be 100 μm or less. For example, the thickness of the substrate 100 may be 50 μm to 100 μm. For example, the thickness of the substrate 100 may be 80 μm to 100 μm.
当基板100的厚度超过100μm时,触摸窗的厚度可以增加。When the thickness of the substrate 100 exceeds 100 μm, the thickness of the touch window may increase.
即,由于基板100布置成具有100μm或更小的厚度,所以包括基板100的触摸窗可以减小,并且可以改进透光率。That is, since the substrate 100 is arranged to have a thickness of 100 μm or less, a touch window including the substrate 100 may be reduced and light transmittance may be improved.
感测电极200和线电极300可以布置在基板100的相同表面上。因此,触摸窗的厚度可以减小。The sensing electrodes 200 and the wire electrodes 300 may be disposed on the same surface of the substrate 100 . Therefore, the thickness of the touch window can be reduced.
硬质涂层700还可以布置在基板100上。硬质涂层700可以布置在基板100与感测电极300之间。A hard coat layer 700 may also be disposed on the substrate 100 . A hard coat layer 700 may be disposed between the substrate 100 and the sensing electrode 300 .

当硬质涂层700的厚度超过5μm时,触摸窗的厚度可以增加。When the thickness of the hard coat layer 700 exceeds 5 μm, the thickness of the touch window may be increased.
硬质涂层700可以通过在基板100的一个表面上涂覆和固化而形成。The hard coat layer 700 may be formed by coating and curing on one surface of the substrate 100 .
独立的盖基板101还可以布置在基板100上。即,感测电极300和线电极400可由基板100支撑,并且基板100和盖基板101可以通过粘附层800彼此直接或间接粘附。因此,盖基板101和基板100可独立形成,并由此在触摸窗的批量生产中是有利的。A separate cover substrate 101 may also be disposed on the substrate 100 . That is, the sensing electrodes 300 and the wire electrodes 400 may be supported by the substrate 100 , and the substrate 100 and the cover substrate 101 may be directly or indirectly adhered to each other through the adhesive layer 800 . Accordingly, the cover substrate 101 and the substrate 100 may be independently formed, and thus are advantageous in mass production of touch windows.
例如,硬质涂层700可以布置在基板100上,感测电极300和线电极400可以布置在硬质涂层700上,粘附层800可以布置在感测电极300和线电极400上,并且盖基板101可以布置在粘附层800上。For example, the hard coat layer 700 may be disposed on the substrate 100, the sensing electrode 300 and the wire electrode 400 may be disposed on the hard coat layer 700, the adhesive layer 800 may be disposed on the sensing electrode 300 and the wire electrode 400, and The cover substrate 101 may be disposed on the adhesive layer 800 .

The cover substrate 101 may have greater hardness than the substrate 100 . The cover substrate 101 and the substrate 100 may include a transparent material. That is, the cover substrate 101 and the substrate 100 may be transparent.
盖基板101可以包括与上述基板100的材料相对应或类似的材料。The cover substrate 101 may include a material corresponding to or similar to that of the above-described substrate 100 .
盖基板101可以是刚性的或柔性的。例如,盖基板101可以包括玻璃或塑料。详细地,盖基板101可以包括化学钢化/半钢化的玻璃(诸如钠钙玻璃或铝硅酸盐玻璃)、加强的或柔性的塑料(诸如,聚酰亚胺(PI)、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、丙二醇(PPG)或聚碳酸酯(PC))或者蓝宝石。The cover substrate 101 may be rigid or flexible. For example, the cover substrate 101 may include glass or plastic. In detail, the cover substrate 101 may include chemically tempered/semi-tempered glass (such as soda lime glass or aluminosilicate glass), reinforced or flexible plastic (such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate Ethylene glycol ester (PET), propylene glycol (PPG) or polycarbonate (PC)) or sapphire.
此外,盖基板101可以包括光学各向同性膜。例如,盖基板101可以包括环烯烃共聚物(COC)、环烯烃聚合物(COP)、光学各向同性聚碳酸酯(PC)、光学各向同性聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PPMA)等。In addition, the cover substrate 101 may include an optically isotropic film. For example, the cover substrate 101 may include cycloolefin copolymer (COC), cycloolefin polymer (COP), optically isotropic polycarbonate (PC), optically isotropic polymethylmethacrylate (PPMA), or the like.
蓝宝石是一种具有优秀电学特性(诸如,电容率)的材料,使得触摸响应速度可以显著增加并且可以容易实现空间触摸(例如,悬停)。此外,由于蓝宝石具有高表面硬度,所以蓝宝石可应用于盖基板。这里,悬停指的是用于甚至在与显示器间隔开短距离的位置中识别坐标的技术。Sapphire is a material having excellent electrical characteristics such as permittivity, so that touch response speed can be significantly increased and spatial touch (eg, hovering) can be easily realized. In addition, since sapphire has high surface hardness, sapphire may be applied to a cover substrate. Here, hovering refers to a technique for identifying coordinates even in locations spaced a short distance from the display.
装饰层200可以布置在基板100上。例如,装饰层200可以布置在基板100的无源区UA上。例如,装饰层200可以布置在基板100与盖基板101之间。例如,装饰板200可以布置在盖基板101的一个表面上以与盖基板101接触。The decoration layer 200 may be disposed on the substrate 100 . For example, the decoration layer 200 may be disposed on the unactive area UA of the substrate 100 . For example, the decoration layer 200 may be disposed between the substrate 100 and the cover substrate 101 . For example, the decoration board 200 may be disposed on one surface of the cover substrate 101 to be in contact with the cover substrate 101 .
装饰层200可以形成为膜。因此,当盖基板101是柔性的或者包括弯曲表面时,装饰层200可易于布置在盖基板101的一个表面上。此外,可以防止装饰层200的分离,从而改进触摸窗的可靠性。The decoration layer 200 may be formed as a film. Accordingly, when the cover substrate 101 is flexible or includes a curved surface, the decoration layer 200 may be easily disposed on one surface of the cover substrate 101 . In addition, separation of the decoration layer 200 may be prevented, thereby improving reliability of the touch window.
包括偏光板的显示面板还可以布置在基板100下面。显示面板可以是有机发光显示面板或液晶显示面板。A display panel including polarizing plates may also be disposed under the substrate 100 . The display panel may be an organic light emitting display panel or a liquid crystal display panel.
基板100可以改变通过偏光板透射的光。例如,基板100可以改变通过偏光板透射的光的轴线。例如,通过穿过偏光板而线性偏光的光的轴线可以被改变成通过穿过基板100而圆偏光的光。The substrate 100 may change light transmitted through the polarizer. For example, the substrate 100 may change the axis of light transmitted through the polarizing plate. For example, the axis of light linearly polarized by passing through the polarizing plate may be changed to light circularly polarized by passing through the substrate 100 .
当基板的单轴拉伸方向为x时,基板100的单轴拉伸方向和偏光板的偏光方向可与x形成45度至大约45度的角度。这里,该角可以是从根据该实施例的触摸窗的前部观察到的角度。When the uniaxial stretching direction of the substrate is x, the uniaxial stretching direction of the substrate 100 and the polarization direction of the polarizer may form an angle of 45 degrees to about 45 degrees with x. Here, the angle may be an angle viewed from the front of the touch window according to this embodiment.
例如,由于基板1000与包括偏光板的显示面板布置成45度的角度,所以当穿过包括偏光板的显示面板的光在一个轴的方向上振动时,穿过基板100的光可以在两个轴的方向上振动,使得能够防止黑视现象。For example, since the substrate 1000 is arranged at an angle of 45 degrees to the display panel including the polarizing plate, when the light passing through the display panel including the polarizing plate vibrates in the direction of one axis, the light passing through the substrate 100 may be in two directions. Vibration in the direction of the axis makes it possible to prevent the blackout phenomenon.
详细地,由于基板100与包括偏光板的显示面板布置成45度的角度,所以穿过包括偏光板的显示面板的光可在x轴或y轴的方向上振动,并且穿过基板100的光可以在x轴和y轴两者的方向上振动,使得能够防止黑视现象。因此,即使在使用偏光太阳镜时,也能够防止彩虹现象的出现。In detail, since the substrate 100 is arranged at an angle of 45 degrees to the display panel including the polarizer, the light passing through the display panel including the polarizer can vibrate in the direction of the x-axis or the y-axis, and the light passing through the substrate 100 It is possible to vibrate in directions of both the x-axis and the y-axis, so that the blackout phenomenon can be prevented. Therefore, rainbow phenomenon can be prevented even when polarized sunglasses are used.

粘附层800可以分别布置在盖基板101与第一基板110之间以及第一基板110与第二基板120之间。因此,盖基板101、第一基板110和第二基板120可以彼此结合。The adhesive layer 800 may be disposed between the cover substrate 101 and the first substrate 110 and between the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120, respectively. Accordingly, the cover substrate 101, the first substrate 110, and the second substrate 120 may be combined with each other.
第一基板110和第二基板120中的每个在其厚度方向上可以具有4500nm或更大的相位差。Each of the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 may have a phase difference of 4500 nm or more in a thickness direction thereof.
当第一基板110和第二基板120中的任一个是光学各向异性膜时,会发生彩虹现象。具体地,当显示面板是有机发光显示面板时,会发生彩虹现象。When any one of the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 is an optically anisotropic film, a rainbow phenomenon occurs. Specifically, when the display panel is an organic light emitting display panel, a rainbow phenomenon occurs.
即,在根据该实施例的触摸窗中,第一基板110和第二基板120两者在其厚度方向上具有4500nm或更大的相位差以及100μm或更小的厚度,使得可防止彩虹现象和黑视现象。此外,由于触摸窗的厚度减小,所以可改进柔性性质。That is, in the touch window according to this embodiment, both the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 have a phase difference of 4500 nm or more in the thickness direction thereof and a thickness of 100 μm or less, so that the rainbow phenomenon and blacksight phenomenon. Also, since the thickness of the touch window is reduced, flexible properties may be improved.
包括偏光板的显示面板还可以布置在第二基板120下面。显示面板可以是有机发光显示面板或液晶显示面板。A display panel including polarizing plates may also be disposed under the second substrate 120 . The display panel may be an organic light emitting display panel or a liquid crystal display panel.

当第二基板120的单轴拉伸方向为x时,第二基板120的单轴拉伸方向和偏光板的偏光方向可以形成与x的45度至大约45度的角度。这里,该角度可以是从根据该实施例的触摸窗的前部观察到的角度。When the uniaxial stretching direction of the second substrate 120 is x, the uniaxial stretching direction of the second substrate 120 and the polarization direction of the polarizer may form an angle of 45 degrees to about 45 degrees with x. Here, the angle may be an angle viewed from the front of the touch window according to this embodiment.
例如,由于第二基板120和包括偏光板的显示面板布置成45度的角度,所以当穿过包括偏光板的显示面板的光在一个轴的方向上振动时,穿过第二基板120的光可以在两个轴的方向上振动,使得能过防止黑视现象。因此,即使在使用偏光太阳镜时,能够防止彩虹现象的出现。For example, since the second substrate 120 and the display panel including the polarizing plate are arranged at an angle of 45 degrees, when the light passing through the display panel including the polarizing plate vibrates in the direction of one axis, the light passing through the second substrate 120 It is possible to vibrate in the directions of two axes, so that the blackout phenomenon can be prevented. Therefore, even when polarized sunglasses are used, the rainbow phenomenon can be prevented.
