  • Patent number: 11106321
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a touch panel includes defining a removing area of a photo-sensitive conductive layer and a photo-sensitive layer by an exposure process. On a display area, the photo-sensitive layer and a metal nanowire layer in the removing area are removed by a developer solution so as to form a touch sensing electrode on the display area. On a peripheral area, the photo-sensitive conductive layer, the photo-sensitive layer, and the metal nanowire layer in the removing area are removed by the developer solution so as to form a peripheral trace on the peripheral area. The touch sensing electrode and the peripheral trace are electrically connected with each other.

  • Patent number: 11068091
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a substrate, a photosensitive layer, a metal nanowire layer and a photosensitive conductive layer. The metal nanowire layer and the photosensitive layer are formed on a display area and a peripheral area of the substrate. The photosensitive conductive layer is formed on the metal nanowire layer on the peripheral area. A removal region and a reserved region of both the photosensitive conductive layer and the photosensitive layer are defined by an exposure process. At the display area, the photosensitive layer and the metal nanowire layer in the removal region are removed by a developer to form a touch sensing electrode. At the peripheral area, the photosensitive conductive layer, the photosensitive layer and the metal nanowire layer in the removal region are removed by a developer to form a peripheral conductive trace. The touch sensing electrode is electrically connected to the peripheral conductive trace.

  • Patent number: 10809785
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a substrate, a Wheatstone bridge circuit, a power module, and a controller. The Wheatstone bridge circuit includes a first pressure sensing electrode disposed on the substrate. A resistance of the first pressure sensing electrode varies with pressure applied to the first pressure sensing electrode. The first pressure sensing electrode is coil-shaped. The power module is electrically connected to the Wheatstone bridge circuit. The controller is configured to control the power module to provide direct current (DC) to the Wheatstone bridge circuit within a first period of time, and to control the power module to provide alternating current (AC) to the Wheatstone bridge circuit within a second period of time.
