  • Patent number: 10656736
    Abstract: A curved touch module structure and a method for laminating the same, which are the theremoplastic technologies, are used to solve the problem with wrinkles at stress-accumulated positions easily caused by a laminated material during a process of laminating a curved surface. The internal curved surface of an appearance-protecting layer has a planar structure whose position corresponds to the bonding area of a touch element layer. When the touch element layer is theremoplastically laminated to the curved surface of the appearance-protecting layer, the first bonding pads of the bonding area are formed on the planar structure. As a result, when a rear-end process for hot pressing and bonding is performed, a bonding platform needs to be designed according to the shape and curvature of products without modifying the other existing elements, thereby increasing the fabrication yield and reducing the production cost.

  • Patent number: 10500828
    Abstract: A method for laminating and aligning an irregular-shape material is disclosed. Since the existing laminating material has an irregular shape, there is a problem with disabling alignment in a lamination process. Thus, the irregular shape of the laminating material is used to form a straight line correlated with a tangent line to the shape, and the straight line is used as the shape-aligned feature of the laminating material. Besides, the definition of an alignment relationship between the laminating material and a laminated object is established to adjust a lamination tolerance and prevent the laminating material from overhanging over the laminated object, thereby satisfying consumers' aesthetic needs for the appearance of products.
