Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device which can raise the breaking resistance of a wiring member extending to the outside from the side of the input device, a display device using the input device, and an electronic device using the display device. <P>SOLUTION: An installation part 8 is formed integratedly with a lower substrate 3 at the side end 3b of a side to which a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 6 of the lower substrate 3 is led out. A projection length L0 from the side end 2b of an upper sheet 2 of the installation part 8 is made longer than the length L1 of a wiring exposing part 6a2 of the FPC 6. On the installation part 8, the wiring exposing part 6a2 and a part of the back end 6e of the FPC 6 is installed. By this way, when trying to bend the FPC 6 downward, a bending force becomes hard to act on the wiring exposing part 6a2 which is the weakest against the bending force, and the breaking resistance of the FPC 6 can be raised properly. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は例えばタッチパネルなどの入力装置およびこの入力装置を用いた表示装置およびこの表示装置を用いた電子機器に係り、特に、入力装置の側方から外部へ延出する配線部材の耐折性を向上させることができる入力装置およびこの入力装置を用いた表示装置、並びに前記表示装置を用いた電子機器に関する。   The present invention relates to an input device such as a touch panel, a display device using the input device, and an electronic apparatus using the display device, and in particular, the folding resistance of a wiring member extending from the side of the input device to the outside. The present invention relates to an input device that can be improved, a display device using the input device, and an electronic apparatus using the display device.

下記特許文献1には、タッチパネルの具体的な構造について開示されている。
前記タッチパネルは、下面にITO(酸化インジウムスズ)等からなる透明電極を有し、略長方形に形成された透明フィルムからなる可撓性の上部電極シートと、上面にITO等からなる透明電極を有し、前記上部電極シートとほぼ同形に形成された透明プラスチック基板からなる下部電極基板とを有している。前記上部電極シートと前記下部電極基板は、それぞれの透明電極どうしが所定の間隔を保って対向するように、その長方形の外周部に所定幅に形成された回路レジストで対向配置されている。
Patent Document 1 below discloses a specific structure of a touch panel.
The touch panel has a transparent electrode made of ITO (indium tin oxide) or the like on the lower surface, a flexible upper electrode sheet made of a transparent film formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and a transparent electrode made of ITO or the like on the upper surface. And a lower electrode substrate made of a transparent plastic substrate formed substantially in the same shape as the upper electrode sheet. The upper electrode sheet and the lower electrode substrate are disposed to face each other with a circuit resist formed on the outer periphery of the rectangle with a predetermined width so that the transparent electrodes face each other with a predetermined interval.

前記タッチパネルの具体的な構造について図6,図7を用いて説明する。
図6に示すように、入力装置1は、上部シート2と下部基板3を有しており、たとえば液晶ディスプレイ等の表示部材4の上方に所定の間隔を空けて、筐体5に位置決め固定される。
A specific structure of the touch panel will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 6, the input device 1 includes an upper sheet 2 and a lower substrate 3, and is positioned and fixed to the housing 5 at a predetermined interval above a display member 4 such as a liquid crystal display. The

上部シート2の下面2aの全面には図示しない抵抗膜(ITO膜)が所定の厚さで形成されており、この抵抗膜下には、X1−X2方向に間隔を置いて平行に形成された1対の上部電極(図示しない)が形成されている。   A resistance film (ITO film) (not shown) is formed on the entire lower surface 2a of the upper sheet 2 with a predetermined thickness. Under the resistance film, the resistance film is formed in parallel in the X1-X2 direction. A pair of upper electrodes (not shown) are formed.

下部基板3の上面3aの全面には図示しない抵抗膜(ITO膜)が所定の厚さで形成されており、この抵抗膜上には、Y方向に間隔を置いて平行に形成された1対の下部電極(図示しない)が形成されている。   A resistance film (ITO film) (not shown) is formed on the entire upper surface 3a of the lower substrate 3 with a predetermined thickness. On the resistance film, a pair formed in parallel with an interval in the Y direction. The lower electrode (not shown) is formed.

上部シート2は、下面2aに形成された抵抗膜を下部基板3に形成された抵抗膜に対向させ、かつ、前記上部電極を前記下部電極が存在しない側部に位置させて配置し、図示しない回路レジストによって、所定の間隔を空けて下部基板3と対向するように組み合わされている。   The upper sheet 2 is arranged such that the resistance film formed on the lower surface 2a is opposed to the resistance film formed on the lower substrate 3, and the upper electrode is positioned on the side where the lower electrode does not exist, not shown. The circuit resist is combined so as to face the lower substrate 3 at a predetermined interval.

前記回路レジストは、上部シート2及び下部基板3の、所定の側端部近傍には形成されておらず、図7に示すように、前記所定の側端部近傍では前記下部電極及び前記上部電極からの引き出し電極21,31が形成されており、引き出し電極21,31がフレキシブルプリント基板6(以下、FPC6と言う)に導電性接着剤7を介して接合されている。FPC6は、熱圧着されており、上部シート2及び下部基板3の側端部2b,3bから外部方向へ引き出されている。   The circuit resist is not formed in the vicinity of the predetermined side end portions of the upper sheet 2 and the lower substrate 3, and as shown in FIG. 7, the lower electrode and the upper electrode are disposed in the vicinity of the predetermined side end portion. Lead electrodes 21 and 31 are formed, and the lead electrodes 21 and 31 are joined to a flexible printed circuit board 6 (hereinafter referred to as FPC 6) via a conductive adhesive 7. The FPC 6 is thermocompression-bonded and pulled out from the side sheets 2b and 3b of the upper sheet 2 and the lower substrate 3 to the outside.

図7に示すように、FPC6は、ベースフィルム8と、その上下に形成された配線部90,90、配線部90,90を覆うポリイミド等のカバー層100とを有して構成される。   As shown in FIG. 7, the FPC 6 includes a base film 8, wiring portions 90 and 90 formed above and below the base film 8, and a cover layer 100 such as polyimide covering the wiring portions 90 and 90.

図7に示すように、FPC6の先端部6aは、ベースフィルム8の上下に配線部90が露出した状態になっている。これは、引き出し電極21,31と配線部90,90とを導電性接着剤7,7を介して電気的に接続させるためである。
特開2002−222055号公報
As shown in FIG. 7, the tip portion 6 a of the FPC 6 is in a state where the wiring portion 90 is exposed above and below the base film 8. This is because the lead electrodes 21 and 31 and the wiring portions 90 and 90 are electrically connected via the conductive adhesives 7 and 7.
JP 2002-2222055 A

図7に示すように、FPC6の先端部6aの長さT0は、上部シート2と下部基板3との間での接合長さT2よりも長い寸法で形成される。   As shown in FIG. 7, the length T <b> 0 of the front end portion 6 a of the FPC 6 is formed with a dimension longer than the joining length T <b> 2 between the upper sheet 2 and the lower substrate 3.

これは、例えば先端部6aの長さT0と接合長さT2とをほぼ同程度で形成すると、位置ずれなどが生じてFPC6が上部シート2と下部基板3間に接合されたとき、FPC6を構成するカバー層100が引き出し電極21,31との間に入り込む可能性があり、このような場合には、引き出し電極21,31と配線部90間を適切に電気的に接続させることができなくなるからである。   For example, when the length T0 and the joining length T2 of the front end portion 6a are formed to be approximately the same, the FPC 6 is configured when the FPC 6 is joined between the upper sheet 2 and the lower substrate 3 due to misalignment or the like. The cover layer 100 to be inserted may enter between the extraction electrodes 21 and 31, and in such a case, the extraction electrodes 21 and 31 and the wiring portion 90 cannot be appropriately electrically connected. It is.

このため、先端部6aの長さT0は、接合長さT2よりも長くするが、このことによって、配線部90が剥き出しにされた部分が、上部シート2及び下部基板3の側端部2b,3bから長さT1だけ外部へ延出した状態にされる。   For this reason, the length T0 of the front end portion 6a is longer than the joining length T2, and as a result, the portions where the wiring portion 90 is exposed are the side end portions 2b of the upper sheet 2 and the lower substrate 3, From 3b, the state is extended to the outside by a length T1.

図6に示すFPC6の外部接続端子6bは、図示しない表示装置や電子機器の端子部と接合される部分であり、通常、図7のように、図示下方向かあるいは上方向へ折り曲げられて、前記表示装置等の端子部と電気的に接続される。   The external connection terminal 6b of the FPC 6 shown in FIG. 6 is a portion joined to a terminal portion of a display device or an electronic device (not shown), and is usually bent downward or upward as shown in FIG. It is electrically connected to a terminal portion of the display device or the like.

しかし、FPC6には、配線部90が剥き出しにされた長さT1の配線箇所があるため、この部分での耐折性は非常に弱く、何回かFPC6を上下方向へ折り曲げると、前記長さT1部分での配線部90が断線するといった問題があった。   However, since the FPC 6 has a wiring portion of the length T1 where the wiring portion 90 is exposed, the folding resistance at this portion is very weak. When the FPC 6 is bent up and down several times, the length There was a problem that the wiring portion 90 at the T1 portion was disconnected.

一方、上記のような断線を抑制するために、接着剤や樹脂およびテープ等の補強部材を、配線部90が剥き出しにされた配線箇所の下面などに設ける等の手段も考えられた。しかし、そのような場合でも、FPC6を折り曲げる際に、剥き出しにされた配線部90に強い折り曲げ力が作用し、断線しやすい。また、前記補強部材を形成する煩雑さや、前記補強部材を高精度に形成しないと、所定の箇所からFPC6を折り曲げることができない等の不具合があった。   On the other hand, in order to suppress the disconnection as described above, means such as providing a reinforcing member such as an adhesive, resin, and tape on the lower surface of the wiring portion where the wiring portion 90 is exposed has been considered. However, even in such a case, when the FPC 6 is bent, a strong bending force acts on the exposed wiring portion 90 and is easily disconnected. In addition, there are problems such as the complexity of forming the reinforcing member and the FPC 6 cannot be bent from a predetermined location unless the reinforcing member is formed with high accuracy.

本発明は上記従来の課題を解決するものであり、特に、入力装置の側方から外部へ延出する配線部材の耐折性を向上させることができる入力装置およびこの入力装置を用いた表示装置、並びに前記表示装置を用いた電子機器を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and in particular, an input device capable of improving the folding resistance of a wiring member extending from the side of the input device to the outside, and a display device using the input device An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device using the display device.

本発明は、
下面に上部抵抗膜が形成されるとともに、前記上部抵抗膜下に一対の上部電極が形成された可撓性の上部シートと、上面に下部抵抗膜が形成されるとともに、前記下部抵抗膜上に一対の下部電極が形成された下部基板と、前記下部基板と前記上部シートとの間に介在し、前記上部電極及び前記下部電極に電気的に接続されるとともに、前記上部シート及び前記下部基板の側方から外部へ引き出される配線部材とを有し、
前記上部シートの操作領域上を前記下部基板方向へ押圧したときに、その押圧点の平面座標が、前記上部電極及び下部電極から前記配線部材を介して検出される入力装置において、
前記下部基板の側端部には部分的に前記上部シートの側端部よりも外部方向へ突出する載置部が前記下部基板と一体に成形され、
前記配線部材の先端部は、前記下部基板と前記上部シートとの間に固定されるとともに前記載置部上に載置されることを特徴とするものである。
The present invention
An upper resistance film is formed on the lower surface, a flexible upper sheet having a pair of upper electrodes formed below the upper resistance film, a lower resistance film is formed on the upper surface, and on the lower resistance film A lower substrate on which a pair of lower electrodes are formed; and interposed between the lower substrate and the upper sheet; and electrically connected to the upper electrode and the lower electrode; and A wiring member drawn out from the side to the outside,
In the input device in which the plane coordinates of the pressing point are detected from the upper electrode and the lower electrode through the wiring member when the operation area on the upper sheet is pressed toward the lower substrate.
A placement part that projects partially outward from the side edge of the upper sheet is formed integrally with the lower board at the side edge of the lower board,
The front end portion of the wiring member is fixed between the lower substrate and the upper sheet and is placed on the placement portion.

本発明では、下部基板の側端部には部分的に上部シートの側端部よりも外部方向へ突出する載置部が下部基板と一体に成形されている。   In the present invention, a mounting portion that projects partially outward from the side edge of the upper sheet is formed integrally with the lower substrate at the side edge of the lower substrate.

従来では、下部基板と上部シートとは同じ寸法で形成されていたが、本発明では、下部基板に上部シートの側端部よりも外部方向へ突出する、配線部材の先端部を載置するための載置部を設けた。このため、従来、断線の生じやすかった配線部材の固定端(下部基板と上部シート間で固定される箇所)の付け根付近を、載置部上に載置することができ、折り曲げ力が極力、作用しないようにすることができ、配線部材の耐折性を向上させることができる。   Conventionally, the lower substrate and the upper sheet are formed with the same dimensions. However, in the present invention, the tip of the wiring member that protrudes outward from the side edge of the upper sheet is placed on the lower substrate. The mounting part was provided. For this reason, conventionally, the vicinity of the root of the fixed end of the wiring member that is likely to be disconnected (the portion fixed between the lower substrate and the upper sheet) can be placed on the placement portion, and the bending force is as much as possible. It can be prevented from acting, and the folding resistance of the wiring member can be improved.

従来では、配線部材の耐折性を、接着剤や樹脂等、別部材による補強部材によって確保することが考えられたが、本発明では、配線部材のための載置部を下部基板と一体に成形したことで、より簡単な手法で配線部材の耐折性を向上させることが可能になる。   Conventionally, it has been considered that the folding resistance of the wiring member is secured by a reinforcing member made of another member such as an adhesive or resin. However, in the present invention, the mounting portion for the wiring member is integrated with the lower substrate. By forming, it becomes possible to improve the bending resistance of the wiring member by a simpler method.

本発明では、前記配線部材は、ベースフィルムと、前記ベースフィルムの上下に形成された配線部と、前記配線部を覆うカバー層とを有して構成され、
前記配線部が前記上部電極及び前記下部電極と電気的に接続されており、
前記配線部材の先端部は前記配線部が露出した状態になっており、前記配線部材の後端部は前記配線部が前記カバー層で覆われた状態になっており、
前記載置部の前記上部シートの側端部からの突出長さが、前記先端部のうち前記上部シートの側端部から外方へ延出する配線露出部の長さより長いことが好ましい。
In the present invention, the wiring member is configured to include a base film, wiring portions formed above and below the base film, and a cover layer covering the wiring portion,
The wiring portion is electrically connected to the upper electrode and the lower electrode;
The wiring member has a front end portion in a state where the wiring portion is exposed, and a rear end portion of the wiring member is in a state in which the wiring portion is covered with the cover layer,
It is preferable that the protruding length of the placement portion from the side end portion of the upper sheet is longer than the length of the exposed wiring portion extending outward from the side end portion of the upper sheet in the tip portion.

これにより、折り曲げ力に最も弱い配線露出部が、載置部上に完全に載置されることで、配線露出部に折り曲げるときの力が作用しにくくなり、配線部材の耐折性を適切に向上させることができる。   As a result, the wiring exposed part that is the weakest to the bending force is completely placed on the mounting part, so that the force when bending the wiring exposed part is less likely to act, and the folding resistance of the wiring member is appropriately set. Can be improved.

また本発明では、前記載置部には前記配線部材の位置決め手段が設けられていることが好ましい。この場合、前記載置部には前記配線部材方向に向けて突出する突起部が設けられ、前記配線部材には前記突起部と対向する位置に開口部が設けられ、前記突起部が前記開口部に挿入されて前記配線部材が位置決めされることが好ましい。あるいは、前記載置部には前記配線部材方向に向けて突出する突起部が設けられ、前記突起部が、前記配線部材を幅方向に固定することで前記配線部材が位置決めされることが好ましい。   In the present invention, it is preferable that the placement portion is provided with positioning means for the wiring member. In this case, the mounting portion is provided with a protruding portion protruding toward the wiring member direction, the wiring member is provided with an opening at a position facing the protruding portion, and the protruding portion is the opening portion. It is preferable that the wiring member is positioned by being inserted into the wiring. Alternatively, it is preferable that the placement portion is provided with a protruding portion that protrudes in the direction of the wiring member, and the wiring member is positioned by fixing the wiring member in the width direction.

このように、突出する載置部を設けることで、載置部に配線部材のための位置決め手段を設けることができるとともに、配線部材を載置部上に適切に固定することが可能である。   Thus, by providing the mounting part which protrudes, it is possible to provide positioning means for the wiring member on the mounting part, and it is possible to appropriately fix the wiring member on the mounting part.

また本発明では、前記配線部材が、前記載置部上で固定部材を介して接合されて固定されることが好ましい。これによって、より効果的に配線部材を載置部上に固定することができる。   Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that the said wiring member is joined and fixed via a fixing member on the said mounting part. As a result, the wiring member can be more effectively fixed on the placement portion.

本発明では、前記載置部は、前記下部基板と一体に射出成形されたものであることが好ましい。   In the present invention, it is preferable that the mounting portion is injection-molded integrally with the lower substrate.

射出成形により、載置部を下部基板に簡単に一体成形することができる。
また本発明では、前記下部基板はプラスチック材料で形成されていることが好ましい。この場合、前記下部基板が、ノルボン系透明樹脂またはポリオレフィン系透明樹脂で形成されていることが好ましい。
By the injection molding, the mounting portion can be easily integrally formed with the lower substrate.
In the present invention, the lower substrate is preferably made of a plastic material. In this case, it is preferable that the lower substrate is formed of a norbon-based transparent resin or a polyolefin-based transparent resin.

ノルボン系透明樹脂およびポリオレフィン系透明樹脂は、光の透過率が高く、かつ下部基板内部において複屈折が起きにくい。このため、下部基板の下方に設けられた表示部材に表示された画像等が鮮明に写し出され、上方から前記画像等を確実に見ることができる。また、ノルボン系透明樹脂およびポリオレフィン系透明樹脂は、耐熱性に優れており、射出成形時の高温にも耐えることができ、下部基板の成形時の反りを少なくすることができる。さらに、ノルボン系透明樹脂およびポリオレフィン系透明樹脂は、吸湿性に劣っている。このため、吸湿される空気中の水蒸気などが少なく、吸湿による下部基板の強度変化を防止することができる。   Norbon-based transparent resins and polyolefin-based transparent resins have high light transmittance, and birefringence hardly occurs inside the lower substrate. For this reason, an image or the like displayed on the display member provided below the lower substrate is clearly displayed, and the image or the like can be reliably viewed from above. Further, the norbon-based transparent resin and the polyolefin-based transparent resin are excellent in heat resistance, can withstand high temperatures during injection molding, and can reduce warpage during molding of the lower substrate. Furthermore, norborn transparent resin and polyolefin transparent resin are inferior in hygroscopicity. For this reason, there are few water vapor | steam etc. in the air to absorb moisture, and it can prevent the intensity | strength change of the lower board | substrate by moisture absorption.

本発明の表示装置は、上記のいずれかに記載の入力装置が実装されたことを特徴とするものである。
また本発明の電子機器は、上記の表示装置が搭載されたことを特徴とするものである。

An electronic apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that the display device is mounted.

上記したように、本発明では、配線部材の耐折性を向上させることができるので、表示装置あるいは電子機器の端子部へ接続させるために、配線部材をどのように折り曲げても、配線部材に断線が生じにくく、電気的接続性に優れた表示装置及び電子機器を提供することが可能である。   As described above, in the present invention, since the folding resistance of the wiring member can be improved, no matter how the wiring member is bent in order to be connected to the terminal portion of the display device or electronic device, the wiring member It is possible to provide a display device and an electronic device that are less likely to be disconnected and have excellent electrical connectivity.

図2に示すように、上部電極21aと接続される引き出し上部電極21bが上部シート2の側端部近傍に形成され、一方、下部電極31aと接続される引き出し下部電極31bが、下部基板3の側端部近傍に形成される。   As shown in FIG. 2, an extraction upper electrode 21 b connected to the upper electrode 21 a is formed in the vicinity of the side edge of the upper sheet 2, while an extraction lower electrode 31 b connected to the lower electrode 31 a is formed on the lower substrate 3.

引き出し上部電極21bが形成された上部シート2、および引き出し下部電極31bが形成された下部基板3の側端部近傍には、前記絶縁スペーサは形成されず、図2に示すように、引き出し上部電極21bと引き出し下部電極31bに導電性接着剤7を介してフレキシブルプリント基板6(以下、FPC6という)が接合されている。   The insulating spacer is not formed in the vicinity of the side edge of the upper sheet 2 on which the extraction upper electrode 21b is formed and the lower substrate 3 on which the extraction lower electrode 31b is formed. As shown in FIG. A flexible printed circuit board 6 (hereinafter referred to as FPC 6) is joined to 21b and the lead-out lower electrode 31b via a conductive adhesive 7.

そして、たとえば図示しない入力ペン等で上部シート2の操作領域22内の任意の箇所を下方へ押圧すると、まず上部シート2が下方に変形して操作領域22と32との間において、上部シート2に形成された上部抵抗膜と下部基板3に形成された下部抵抗膜が接触する。   For example, when an arbitrary position in the operation area 22 of the upper sheet 2 is pressed downward with an input pen or the like (not shown), the upper sheet 2 is first deformed downward and the upper sheet 2 is moved between the operation areas 22 and 32. The upper resistance film formed on the lower substrate 3 is in contact with the lower resistance film formed on the lower substrate 3.

押圧点でのX座標検出は、上部シート2の上部電極21a間に電圧を印加すると、上部シート2の下面2aに形成された上部抵抗膜の抵抗によって上部電極21a間に電位勾配が生じる。押圧点での電位を、下部基板3に形成された下部電極31aからFPC6の外部接続端子6bを通じて検出すると、押圧点でのX座標を知ることができる。   In the X coordinate detection at the pressing point, when a voltage is applied between the upper electrodes 21a of the upper sheet 2, a potential gradient is generated between the upper electrodes 21a due to the resistance of the upper resistance film formed on the lower surface 2a of the upper sheet 2. When the potential at the pressing point is detected from the lower electrode 31a formed on the lower substrate 3 through the external connection terminal 6b of the FPC 6, the X coordinate at the pressing point can be known.

また、押圧点でのY座標検出は、下部基板3の下部電極31a間に電圧を印加すると、下部基板3の上面3aに形成された下部抵抗膜の抵抗によって下部電極31a間に電位勾配が生じる。押圧点での電位を、上部シート2の上部電極21aからFPC6の外部接続端子6bを通じて検出すると、押圧点でのY座標を知ることができる。   Further, in the Y coordinate detection at the pressing point, when a voltage is applied between the lower electrodes 31 a of the lower substrate 3, a potential gradient is generated between the lower electrodes 31 a due to the resistance of the lower resistance film formed on the upper surface 3 a of the lower substrate 3. . When the potential at the pressing point is detected from the upper electrode 21a of the upper sheet 2 through the external connection terminal 6b of the FPC 6, the Y coordinate at the pressing point can be known.

FPC6は、ポリイミドフィルム等からなるベースフィルム6dと、ベースフィルム6dの上下に形成された銅箔等からなる配線部6b1,6b2と、ポリイミド等からなり、配線部6b1,6b2を覆うカバー層6cとを有して構成される。   The FPC 6 includes a base film 6d made of polyimide film or the like, wiring portions 6b1 and 6b2 made of copper foil or the like formed above and below the base film 6d, a cover layer 6c made of polyimide or the like and covering the wiring portions 6b1 and 6b2. It is comprised.

図2,図3に示すように、上部配線部6b1は2本設けられており、同じく2本設けられた引き出し上部電極21bに導電性接着剤7を介して接合されている。また、下部配線部6b2も同様に2本設けられており、同じく2本設けられた引き出し下部電極31bに導電性接着剤7を介して接合されている。なお、各引き出し電極と各配線部とは熱圧着されて接合されることが好ましい。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, two upper wiring portions 6 b 1 are provided, and are joined to the lead-out upper electrode 21 b provided with the same two via the conductive adhesive 7. Similarly, two lower wiring portions 6b2 are also provided, and are joined to the lead-out lower electrode 31b provided with the same two via the conductive adhesive 7. Each lead electrode and each wiring part are preferably bonded by thermocompression bonding.

本発明では、図2および図3に示すように、下部基板3の側端部3bには、部分的に上部シート2の側端部2bよりも外部方向へ突出する載置部8が、下部基板3と一体に成形されている。   In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the side end portion 3 b of the lower substrate 3 has a placement portion 8 that partially protrudes outward from the side end portion 2 b of the upper sheet 2. It is molded integrally with the substrate 3.

FPC6の先端部6aは、ベースフィルム6dと、その上下に形成された配線部6b1,6b2のみで形成され、配線部6b1,6b2が露出した状態になっている。FPC6の後端部6eは、ベースフィルム6dの上下に形成された配線部6b1,6b2がカバー層6cで覆われた領域である。   The front end portion 6a of the FPC 6 is formed by only the base film 6d and the wiring portions 6b1 and 6b2 formed above and below the base film 6d, and the wiring portions 6b1 and 6b2 are exposed. The rear end portion 6e of the FPC 6 is a region where the wiring portions 6b1 and 6b2 formed above and below the base film 6d are covered with the cover layer 6c.

FPC6の先端部6aは、引き出し電極21b,31bとの間に、導電性接着剤7を介して接合される固定端部6a1と、外部に配線部6b1,6b2が剥き出しの状態にある配線露出部6a2とで構成される。   The front end portion 6a of the FPC 6 includes a fixed end portion 6a1 joined to the lead electrodes 21b and 31b via the conductive adhesive 7, and a wiring exposed portion in which the wiring portions 6b1 and 6b2 are exposed to the outside. 6a2.

載置部8上には、FPC6の配線露出部6a2と、後端部6eの一部とが載置されている。   On the placement part 8, the wiring exposed part 6a2 of the FPC 6 and a part of the rear end part 6e are placed.

すなわち、載置部8は、上部シート2の側端部2bからの突出長さ(X1−X2方向の長さ)L0が、上部シート2の側端部2bから外方へ延出する配線露出部6a2の長さL1よりも長く形成されている。なお、図3に示すように、載置部8は下部基板3の側端部3bから部分的に突出成形される。載置部8の幅寸法(図示Y1−Y2方向の長さ)は、少なくともFPC6の幅寸法より広ければよい。   That is, the mounting portion 8 has a wiring exposure in which a protruding length (length in the X1-X2 direction) L0 from the side end 2b of the upper sheet 2 extends outward from the side end 2b of the upper sheet 2. It is formed longer than the length L1 of the part 6a2. As shown in FIG. 3, the placement portion 8 is partially protruded from the side end portion 3 b of the lower substrate 3. The width dimension of the placement portion 8 (the length in the Y1-Y2 direction in the drawing) may be at least wider than the width dimension of the FPC 6.

上記したように、載置部8上には、配線露出部6a2と、カバー層6cによって配線部6b1,6b2が保護された後端部6eの一部が載置される。よって、図2に示すように、FPC6を下方向へ折り曲げようとすると、カバー層6cの存在により最も折り曲げ力に強いFPC6の後端部6eの載置部8との境界付近から、FPC6が下方向へ折り曲げられるので、折り曲げ力に最も弱い配線露出部6a2に対し前記折り曲げ力が作用しにくくなり、FPC6の耐折性を適切に向上させることができる。   As described above, the wiring exposed portion 6a2 and a part of the rear end portion 6e where the wiring portions 6b1 and 6b2 are protected by the cover layer 6c are placed on the placement portion 8. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the FPC 6 is bent downward, the FPC 6 is lowered from the vicinity of the boundary with the mounting portion 8 of the rear end portion 6e of the FPC 6 that is most resistant to bending force due to the presence of the cover layer 6c. Since it is bent in the direction, it becomes difficult for the bending force to act on the wiring exposed portion 6a2 which is the weakest in the bending force, and the folding resistance of the FPC 6 can be improved appropriately.

また、図2の矢印方向に示すように、FPC6を図示上方向へ折り曲げようとした場合は、カバー層6cが形成されていないことで最も剛性力の低い配線露出部6a2から折り曲がりやすくなるため、配線露出部6a2での断線が生じやすい。   Further, as shown in the arrow direction of FIG. 2, when the FPC 6 is to be bent upward in the drawing, the cover layer 6c is not formed, and therefore, the FPC 6 is easily bent from the wiring exposed portion 6a2 having the lowest rigidity. The disconnection at the wiring exposed portion 6a2 is likely to occur.

このため、図2,図3に示すように、載置部8とFPC6との間に接着剤等の固定部材40を介在させて、載置部8とFPC6間を固定することが好ましい。   Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it is preferable to fix the mounting portion 8 and the FPC 6 by interposing a fixing member 40 such as an adhesive between the mounting portion 8 and the FPC 6.

固定部材40は両面テープや接着剤などを用いることができる。
なお、固定部材40に例えば片面接着テープを用いて、FPC6の上面側から載置部8の上面に前記片面接着テープをかけて貼り付け、FPC6と載置部8とを固定してもよい。
The fixing member 40 can be a double-sided tape or an adhesive.
For example, a single-sided adhesive tape may be used for the fixing member 40, and the FPC 6 and the placement unit 8 may be fixed by attaching the single-sided adhesive tape to the upper surface of the placement unit 8 from the upper surface side of the FPC 6.

なお、本発明では、固定部材40を、FPC6を図示下方向、すなわち載置部8方向へ曲げるときに設けてよい。このような場合でも、配線露出部6a2に折り曲げ力が作用するのを適切に抑制でき、耐折性に優れた構造にすることができる。   In the present invention, the fixing member 40 may be provided when the FPC 6 is bent in the downward direction in the figure, that is, in the direction of the placing portion 8. Even in such a case, it is possible to appropriately suppress the bending force from acting on the wiring exposed portion 6a2, and to achieve a structure with excellent folding resistance.

なお、載置部8の形状は、FPC6の配線露出部6a2と後端部6eの一部を載置できる形状であれば、図2および図3に示すような形状には限定されず、たとえば断面形状(図2における形状)が長方形で、上方からみたときの形状(図3における形状)が楕円形状等であってもよい。   The shape of the mounting portion 8 is not limited to the shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 as long as the wiring exposed portion 6a2 and part of the rear end portion 6e of the FPC 6 can be mounted. The cross-sectional shape (the shape in FIG. 2) may be a rectangle, and the shape when viewed from above (the shape in FIG. 3) may be an elliptical shape or the like.

図4は本発明の他の変形例のFPC6と載置部8との近傍を上方からみたときの部分拡大平面図、図5は図4に示す他の変形例を膜厚方向から切断した部分断面図である。   FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged plan view of the vicinity of the FPC 6 and the mounting portion 8 according to another modification of the present invention as viewed from above, and FIG. 5 is a portion cut from the film thickness direction of another modification shown in FIG. It is sectional drawing.

本変形例では、図4,図5に示すように、載置部8上からは突起部9が設けられており、FPC6には突起部9と対向する位置に貫通孔10が設けられている。突起部9は載置部8に一体に成形されていることが好ましく、そのような場合には、突起部9は射出成形により形成される。   In this modification, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a protrusion 9 is provided from above the placement portion 8, and a through hole 10 is provided in the FPC 6 at a position facing the protrusion 9. . The protruding portion 9 is preferably formed integrally with the mounting portion 8, and in such a case, the protruding portion 9 is formed by injection molding.

突起部9や貫通孔10はFPC6の位置決め手段として機能する。たとえば図5に示すように、突起部9および貫通孔10の双方を形成し、突起部9を貫通孔10に嵌合させることで、FPC6を載置部8上で適切に固定できるとともに、FPC6を適切に位置決めできる。また、突起部9と貫通孔10との嵌合により、たとえば製造工程中(FPC6と引き出し電極21b,31b間を導電性接着剤7によって接合する前の工程中)に、水平方向(X−Y平面と平行な方向)の引っ張り力がFPC6に加えられた場合に、前記引っ張り力に対する耐久性が向上し、前記引っ張り力によって、FPC6が載置部8上から外されることを防止することができる。   The protrusion 9 and the through hole 10 function as positioning means for the FPC 6. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, by forming both the protrusion 9 and the through hole 10 and fitting the protrusion 9 into the through hole 10, the FPC 6 can be appropriately fixed on the mounting portion 8, and the FPC 6 Can be properly positioned. Further, due to the fitting of the projection 9 and the through-hole 10, for example, during the manufacturing process (during the process before joining the FPC 6 and the lead electrodes 21b and 31b with the conductive adhesive 7) in the horizontal direction (XY). When a pulling force in a direction parallel to the plane) is applied to the FPC 6, durability against the pulling force is improved, and the pulling force prevents the FPC 6 from being removed from the mounting portion 8. it can.

FPC6の位置決め手段は、図4,図5に示す形態(形状)には限られない。図4に示すように、突起部9はピン形状であったが、リブ形状であってもよい。また、突起部9は、FPC6に貫通させるものではなく、FPC6の幅寸法に合わせた突起であり、FPC6が突起部9によって幅方向に固定されて、位置決めされてもよい。また、貫通孔10ではなく切り欠きであってもよい。   The positioning means of the FPC 6 is not limited to the form (shape) shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 4, the protrusion 9 has a pin shape, but may have a rib shape. Further, the protrusion 9 is not penetrated through the FPC 6, but is a protrusion matching the width of the FPC 6, and the FPC 6 may be fixed by the protrusion 9 in the width direction and positioned. Moreover, not the through-hole 10 but a notch may be sufficient.

その他、載置部8の寸法や固定部材40等に関しては、図2,図3で説明したものと同じである。   In addition, the dimensions of the mounting portion 8 and the fixing member 40 are the same as those described with reference to FIGS.

本発明の下部基板3は、プラスチック材で形成され、特にノルボン系透明樹脂またはポリオレフィン系透明樹脂で形成されていることが好ましい。前記ノルボン系透明樹脂およびポリオレフィン系透明樹脂は、光の透過率が高く、かつ下部基板3内部において複屈折が起きにくい。このため、表示部材4に表示された画像等が鮮明に写し出され、上方から前記画像等を確実に見ることができる。また、ノルボン系透明樹脂およびポリオレフィン系透明樹脂は、耐熱性に優れており、射出成形時の高温にも耐えることができ、下部基板3の成形時の反りを少なくすることができる。さらに、ノルボン系透明樹脂およびポリオレフィン系透明樹脂は、吸湿性に劣っている。このため、吸湿される空気中の水蒸気などが少なく、吸湿による下部基板3の強度変化を防止することができる。   The lower substrate 3 of the present invention is formed of a plastic material, and is particularly preferably formed of a norbon-based transparent resin or a polyolefin-based transparent resin. The norbon-based transparent resin and the polyolefin-based transparent resin have high light transmittance, and birefringence hardly occurs inside the lower substrate 3. For this reason, the image displayed on the display member 4 is clearly projected, and the image or the like can be reliably viewed from above. Further, the norbon-based transparent resin and the polyolefin-based transparent resin are excellent in heat resistance, can withstand high temperatures during injection molding, and can reduce warping during molding of the lower substrate 3. Furthermore, norborn transparent resin and polyolefin transparent resin are inferior in hygroscopicity. For this reason, there are few water vapor | steam etc. in the air to absorb moisture, and the strength change of the lower board | substrate 3 by moisture absorption can be prevented.

本発明では、上記のように、下部基板3をプラスチック材で形成することで、載置部8や載置部8上に形成される突起部9を、下部基板3と一体に射出成形することが可能である。   In the present invention, as described above, the lower substrate 3 is formed of a plastic material, so that the mounting portion 8 and the protruding portion 9 formed on the mounting portion 8 are injection-molded integrally with the lower substrate 3. Is possible.

図1に示すように、上記のような入力装置1と表示部材4と導光部材11と図示しない光源を有する装置を表示装置として用いることができる。このような表示装置は、FPC6の断線が防止される。このため、入力装置1の信頼性が損なわれることが防止され、表示部材4から映し出される画像等を、入力装置1によって確実に選択等することができる。   As shown in FIG. 1, an apparatus having the input device 1, the display member 4, the light guide member 11, and a light source (not shown) as described above can be used as the display device. In such a display device, disconnection of the FPC 6 is prevented. For this reason, it is prevented that the reliability of the input device 1 is impaired, and an image projected from the display member 4 can be reliably selected by the input device 1.

上記のような、本発明の入力装置1が実装された表示装置は、PDA(パーソナルディジタルアシスタント)や手のひらサイズの小型パーソナルコンピュータ、あるいは携帯電話等の電子機器に搭載することができる。   The display device on which the input device 1 of the present invention is mounted as described above can be mounted on an electronic device such as a PDA (personal digital assistant), a palm-sized small personal computer, or a mobile phone.

このような電子機器は、本発明の入力装置1を備えているため、FPC6の断線が防止され、よってPDA等のような小型の電子機器においても、入力装置1の信頼性が損なわれることが防止され、入力装置1によって確実に所望の情報を入力することができる。   Since such an electronic device includes the input device 1 of the present invention, disconnection of the FPC 6 is prevented, and thus the reliability of the input device 1 may be impaired even in a small electronic device such as a PDA. Thus, the desired information can be reliably input by the input device 1.

さらに、前記電子機器は前記表示装置を備えているため、表示部材4から映し出される画像等を、入力装置1によって確実に選択等することもできる。したがって、前記電子機器の操作者は、前記画像等を確認しながら正確に前記電子機器を作動させることができる。   Further, since the electronic apparatus includes the display device, an image displayed from the display member 4 can be reliably selected by the input device 1. Therefore, the operator of the electronic device can operate the electronic device accurately while confirming the image or the like.
