Description
本發明係一種觸控面板的感應電極結構,尤指一種整合線電阻型式之感應電極與方塊電阻型式之感應電極的觸控面板。The invention relates to a sensing electrode structure of a touch panel, in particular to a touch panel which integrates a line resistance type sensing electrode and a square resistance type sensing electrode.
請參閱圖13所示,現有電容式的觸控面板90係於一基板91上形成有以透明電極(ITO)製成的多道第一感應電極串92、多道第二感應電極串93以及多道分別與第一感應電極串92、第二感應電極串93連接的金屬導線94、95,該等第一感應電極串92與該等第二感應電極串93是分別於基板91表面上以直角相交的方式設置,各第一與第二感應電極串92、93分別包含有多數個相互連接且呈菱形的感應電極921、931,藉由偵測縱橫交錯之第一感應電極串92及第二感應電極串93的電容量變化,以辨識使用者點擊觸控面板90的位置或區域。Referring to FIG. 13 , the conventional capacitive touch panel 90 is formed on a substrate 91 with a plurality of first sensing electrode strings 92 made of transparent electrodes (ITO), a plurality of second sensing electrode strings 93 , and The plurality of metal wires 94 and 95 respectively connected to the first sensing electrode string 92 and the second sensing electrode string 93, the first sensing electrode strings 92 and the second sensing electrode strings 93 are respectively on the surface of the substrate 91. The first and second sensing electrode strings 92 and 93 respectively include a plurality of mutually connected and diamond-shaped sensing electrodes 921 and 931, and the first sensing electrode string 92 and the first and second intersecting electrodes are detected. The capacitance of the two sensing electrode strings 93 changes to identify the position or area in which the user clicks on the touch panel 90.
由上述可知,該等感應電極921、931是由透明電極(ITO)製成,由於透明電極是一種方塊電阻(square resistance,Ω/□),其電阻值與厚度有關,當厚度增加時其電阻值會降低(導電度提高),但透光率會因厚度增加而相 對降低,若欲提高透光率則需減少厚度,會使電阻值增加(導電率降低),而當導電率降低時會造成透明電極感應不靈敏的問題;意即,為增加前述觸控面板90的觸控靈敏度,必須增加各感應電極921、931的厚度,但會產生觸控面板90之透光率降低的問題,由於透光率與導電率是呈反比關係,因此現有電容式觸控面板僅能於透光率與感應靈敏度之間取其折衷,而產生無法同時兼顧高透光率與高感應靈敏度的問題。As can be seen from the above, the sensing electrodes 921, 931 are made of a transparent electrode (ITO). Since the transparent electrode is a square resistance (Ω/□), the resistance value is related to the thickness, and the resistance is increased when the thickness is increased. The value will decrease (the conductivity is increased), but the light transmittance will increase due to the increase in thickness. For the reduction, if the light transmittance is to be increased, the thickness is required to be increased, the resistance value is increased (the conductivity is lowered), and when the conductivity is lowered, the transparent electrode is insensitive to the sensing; that is, the touch panel is added. The touch sensitivity of 90 must increase the thickness of each of the sensing electrodes 921 and 931, but the transmittance of the touch panel 90 is reduced. Since the transmittance and the conductivity are inversely proportional, the existing capacitive touch The panel can only compromise between light transmittance and sensitivity, resulting in a problem that cannot simultaneously achieve high light transmittance and high sensitivity.
如前揭所述,現有觸控面板受限於透明電極具有方塊電阻的材質特性,而有無法同時提高透光率並增加感應靈敏度的問題,因此本發明主要目的在提供一觸控面板及其感應電極結構,係將觸控面板之其中一組感應電極串的感應電極形成一種感應圖案,該感應圖案為線電阻型式,其具有開口以提高透光率,可增加感應電極的厚度而降低現有感應電極之方塊電阻的電阻值,並提高其導電率與感應靈敏度,解決現有觸控面板無法同時兼顧高透光率與高感應靈敏度的問題。As described above, the conventional touch panel is limited by the material characteristics of the transparent electrode having a sheet resistance, and the problem that the light transmittance cannot be simultaneously increased and the sensitivity is increased. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a touch panel and a touch panel thereof. The sensing electrode structure forms a sensing pattern of the sensing electrodes of one of the sensing electrode strings of the touch panel, and the sensing pattern is a line resistance type having an opening to increase the light transmittance, increasing the thickness of the sensing electrode and reducing the existing The resistance value of the square resistance of the sensing electrode increases the conductivity and the sensing sensitivity, and solves the problem that the existing touch panel cannot simultaneously consider high transmittance and high sensitivity.

The first sensing electrode string 21 has a first end 22 and a second end 23. The second sensing electrode string 41 has a first end 42 and a second end 43. The first electrode group 20 and the second electrode group The setting direction of 40 is the first end 22, 42 of the first sensing electrode string 21 and the first end of the second sensing electrode string 41, respectively, with the first ends 22, 42 facing the second ends 23, 43 respectively. The ends 42 are respectively located at different ends of the substrate 10, that is, the first end 22 of each of the first sensing electrode strings 21 is adjacent to the second end 43 of the second sensing electrode string 41; and each second sensing The first end 42 of the electrode string 41 is adjacent to the second end 23 of the first inductive electrode string 21.
如圖11、12所示,各第一感應電極串21具有多數個相連的第一感應電極211,兩相鄰第一感應電極211間以一連接線212連接,該等第一感應電極211分別為一第一電極圖案或一第二電極圖案,第一感應電極211為第 一電極圖案時,係由一道以上的感應線213圍繞而成具有一開口214的電極圖案F,第一感應電極211為第二電極圖案時,係不具有前述開口214而呈實心狀,如圖所示,該電極圖案F的周緣係呈方形,其中央處形成有開口214;其中,該第一感應電極串21的第一端22係指圖式方向的左端,該第二感應電極串41的第一端42係指圖式方向的右端,各第一感應電極串21的面積係由第一端22朝第二端23遞減,如圖10所示,位於最接近第一端22之第一感應電極211的面積最大,其右側相鄰之第一感應電極211的面積則略為縮小,如圖11所示,同一第一感應電極串21的第一感應電極211漸次縮小,而位於最接近第二端23之第一感應電極211的面積最小。於本實施例中,其遞減面積的方式係令各個第一感應電極211的寬度不變,而令高度遞減,因此各個第一感應電極串21的各個第一感應電極211分別在直向上對正;再者,各個第一感應電極串21的第一端22分別設有一導線24,各導線24分別與基板10一端的連接埠11連接。As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, each of the first sensing electrode strings 21 has a plurality of connected first sensing electrodes 211, and two adjacent first sensing electrodes 211 are connected by a connecting line 212. The first sensing electrodes 211 are respectively connected. a first electrode pattern or a second electrode pattern, the first sensing electrode 211 is In the case of an electrode pattern, the electrode pattern F having an opening 214 is formed by one or more sensing lines 213. When the first sensing electrode 211 is the second electrode pattern, the first sensing electrode 211 does not have the opening 214 and is solid. As shown, the periphery of the electrode pattern F is square, and an opening 214 is formed at the center thereof. The first end 22 of the first sensing electrode string 21 refers to the left end of the pattern direction, and the second sensing electrode string 41 The first end 42 is the right end of the drawing direction, and the area of each of the first sensing electrode strings 21 is decreased from the first end 22 toward the second end 23, as shown in FIG. The area of the sensing electrode 211 is the largest, and the area of the first sensing electrode 211 adjacent to the right side is slightly reduced. As shown in FIG. 11, the first sensing electrode 211 of the same first sensing electrode string 21 is gradually reduced, and is located closest to The area of the first sensing electrode 211 of the second end 23 is the smallest. In this embodiment, the manner of decreasing the area is such that the width of each of the first sensing electrodes 211 is constant, and the height is decreased. Therefore, the first sensing electrodes 211 of the respective first sensing electrode strings 21 are aligned in the straight direction. Furthermore, the first ends 22 of the first sensing electrode strings 21 are respectively provided with a wire 24, and the wires 24 are respectively connected to the connection port 11 at one end of the substrate 10.
由於第一感應電極211於接近第一端22的面積較大,而接近第二端23的面積較小,故具有開口214的第一電極圖案僅形成於接近第一端22的第一感應電極211,如圖10所示,以第一感應電極串21的長度方向為例,約以第一感應電極串21總長度的二分之一為分界(如圖 之分界線X),接近第一端22的第一感應電極211形成有第一電極圖案(即線電阻型式),接近第二端23的第一感應電極211則形成第二電極圖案(即方塊電阻型式),因此第一感應電極串21為同時具有線電阻型式與方塊電阻型式的感應電極。Since the area of the first sensing electrode 211 near the first end 22 is larger and the area close to the second end 23 is smaller, the first electrode pattern having the opening 214 is formed only on the first sensing electrode near the first end 22 . 211, as shown in FIG. 10, taking the length direction of the first sensing electrode string 21 as an example, about one-half of the total length of the first sensing electrode string 21 is a boundary (as shown in FIG. The boundary line X), the first sensing electrode 211 near the first end 22 is formed with a first electrode pattern (ie, a line resistance pattern), and the first sensing electrode 211 near the second end 23 forms a second electrode pattern (ie, a square) The resistance type), therefore, the first sensing electrode string 21 is a sensing electrode having both a line resistance type and a sheet resistance type.
各第二感應電極串41係在前述基板10的表面且與各第一感應電極串21呈平行且相間地排列,如圖12所示,各第二感應電極串41具有多數個相連的第二感應電極411,兩相鄰第二感應電極411間以一連接線412連接,該等第二感應電極411分別為一第一電極圖案或一第二電極圖案,第二感應電極411為第一電極圖案時,係由一道以上的感應線413圍繞而成具有一開口414的電極圖案F,第二感應電極411為第二電極圖案時,係不具有前述開口414而呈實心狀。各第二感應電極串41之最接近第一端42之第二感應電極411的面積最大,其左側之第二感應電極411的面積則略為縮小,如圖10所示,同一第二感應電極串41位於第二端43上的第二感應電極411的面積最小,於本實施例中,其遞減面積的方式係令各個第二感應電極411的寬度不變,而令高度遞減,因此各個第二感應電極串41的各個第二感應電極411分別在直向上對正;再者,各個第二感應電極串41的第一端42分別設有一導線44,各導線44分別與基板10一端的連接埠11連接 。Each of the second sensing electrode strings 41 is arranged on the surface of the substrate 10 and parallel to the first sensing electrode strings 21, and is arranged in parallel with each other. As shown in FIG. 12, each of the second sensing electrode strings 41 has a plurality of connected seconds. The sensing electrode 411 is connected to the two adjacent sensing electrodes 411 by a connecting line 412. The second sensing electrodes 411 are respectively a first electrode pattern or a second electrode pattern, and the second sensing electrode 411 is a first electrode. In the case of a pattern, the electrode pattern F having an opening 414 is surrounded by one or more sensing lines 413. When the second sensing electrode 411 is in the second electrode pattern, it is solid without the opening 414. The area of the second sensing electrode 411 of the second sensing electrode string 41 closest to the first end 42 is the largest, and the area of the second sensing electrode 411 on the left side is slightly reduced. As shown in FIG. 10, the same second sensing electrode string The second sensing electrode 411 on the second end 43 has the smallest area. In this embodiment, the decreasing area is such that the width of each of the second sensing electrodes 411 is constant, and the height is decreased, so each second The second sensing electrodes 411 of the sensing electrode string 41 are respectively aligned in a straight direction. Further, the first ends 42 of the second sensing electrode strings 41 are respectively provided with a wire 44, and the wires 44 are respectively connected to one end of the substrate 10. 11 connections .
以第二感應電極串41的長度方向為例,約以第二感應電極串41總長度的二分之一為分界(如圖之分界線x),具有開口214的第一電極圖案(即線電阻型式)形成於鄰近第一端42的第一感應電極411上,鄰近第二端43的第二感應電極411則形成第二電極圖案(即方塊電阻型式),因此第二感應電極串41亦為同時具有線電阻型式與方塊電阻型式的感應電極。Taking the length direction of the second sensing electrode string 41 as an example, about one-half of the total length of the second sensing electrode string 41 is a boundary (as shown by the boundary line x), and the first electrode pattern having the opening 214 (ie, the line) The second sensing electrode 411 adjacent to the second end 43 forms a second electrode pattern (ie, a sheet resistance pattern), and the second sensing electrode string 41 is also formed on the first sensing electrode 411 adjacent to the first end 42. It is an induction electrode having both a line resistance type and a sheet resistance type.
由上述可知,藉由改變感應電極之電極圖案而呈線電阻型式,可增加光線的穿透量而提高透光率,且可增加其厚度以減少其電阻值,並提高導電率與感應靈敏度,解決現有觸控面板無法同時兼顧高透光率與高感應靈敏度的問題。It can be seen from the above that by changing the electrode pattern of the sensing electrode to form a line resistance pattern, the amount of light penetration can be increased to increase the light transmittance, and the thickness thereof can be increased to reduce the resistance value, and the conductivity and the sensing sensitivity can be improved. The problem that the existing touch panel cannot simultaneously consider high transmittance and high sensitivity is solved.
