Abstract: A touch panel is disclosed. The touch panel includes a cover plate having a viewing region and a border region surrounding the viewing region. At least one bonding region is defined in the border region. A shielding layer is disposed on the cover plate corresponding to the border region. An adhesive pattern layer is disposed on the shielding layer and at least in the bonding region. A sensing electrode layer is disposed on the cover plate and extends from the viewing region to the shielding layer corresponding to the border region. A signal trace layer including a plurality of traces is disposed on the shielding layer corresponding to the border region. Each trace has one end electrically connected to the sensing electrode layer and another end assembled onto the adhesive pattern layer corresponding to the bonding region. A method for forming a touch panel is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a touch panel. The touch panel includes first sensing lines extending in a first direction, second sensing lines extending in a second direction and intersecting with the first sensing lines, an insulating pad disposed at each intersection between the first sensing lines and the second sensing lines for isolating the first sensing lines and the second sensing lines. A direction of an external force exerted in the insulating pad is non-perpendicular to the edge of said insulating pad on the same horizontal plane. The present invention also provides a manufacturing method of the touch panel. The design of the insulating pad can disperse the external impact force caused by air knife, washing and so on, and preventing the cut-off of the insulating pad, thereby improving the yield of the touch panel.
