  • Patent number: 8482537
    Abstract: A protection panel having a touch input function of the analog resistance film method for detecting an X-Y coordinate representing an operated position by a potential gradient based on a touch operation relative to the front substrate 6, in which the back substrate 5 and the front substrate 6 include contacts 5G and 6G, respectively, connected to each other in series on the resistance films 5A and 6A through the routing circuits 5C and 6C to have potential difference, in which the contacts 5G and 6G face each other at a predetermined distance when the back substrate 5 and the front substrate 6 are connected to each other, and in which a switch 12 is provided for detecting, when voltage is applied by the contacts 5G and 6G between the electrodes 5D or 6D of either one of the front substrate 6 and the back substrate 5, whether or not the contacts 5G and 6G are brought into contact with each other based on voltage detected by the electrodes 5D or 6D of the other of the front substrate 6 and the back substrate 5.

  • Patent number: 8427820
    Abstract: In a protective panel with a touch input function of an electronic apparatus display window, with a built-in antenna being placed on a back side thereof, an upper electrode sheet and a lower electrode panel that constitute the protective panel with a touch input function are respectively provided with radio-wave transmitting sections with no conductor formed therein, within a frame area to be covered with a decorative layer, in association with the built-in antenna, and with respect to all the portion or most of the portion of a border relative to the conductor of the radio-wave transmitting section on the upper electrode sheet side, since a paste layer, used for bonding the upper electrode sheet to the lower electrode panel at peripheral edge portions thereof, is provided with a through hole in a manner so as to overlap with, at least, an area near the inside of the border, with air inside the through hole being allowed to flow in or flow out through an air bent.

  • Publication number: 20120268421
    Abstract: A protection panel for detecting an X-Y coordinate as an operation position from a potential gradient based on a touch operation to a front substrate is provided. A rear substrate (5) has a first transparent resistive film (5A) and a contact point (5G) connected to a pair of first terminals (5D) through routing circuits (5C) so that the contact point (5G) is arranged in parallel with the first transparent resistive film (5A).

When the rear substrate (5) and a front substrate (6) are connected, the contact point (5G) and an expanded region (6Ab) of a second transparent resistive film (6A) on the front substrate (6), which are arranged opposingly with a predetermined gap, form a switch (12) for detecting a contact therebetween, based on a voltage detected in the terminals (6D,5D) of one of the rear substrate (5) and the front substrate (6) when a voltage is applied between the terminals (5D,6D) of the other.
