    Abstract: A capacitive touch panel has a transparent substrate and an ink layer. The transparent substrate has an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer and a lead wire region. The ITO layer is mounted on a bottom surface of the transparent substrate and has multiple electrodes mounted thereon. The lead wire region is formed on a bordering portion of the bottom surface of the transparent substrate and has multiple lead wires mounted thereon and electrically connected to the electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20120242613
    Abstract: A projected capacitive touch panel has a substrate and at least two sensing units. The sensing units form an active region as an operating zone for users. Because the active region is divided into smaller ranges, the path in which electric signals are transported becomes shorter. The electric signals can be outputted to an outer processor effectively. Additionally, when the projected capacitive touch panel of this invention is mounted on a display, the influence of the electromagnetic interference from the display can be decrease.
