  • Publication number: 20170354029
    Abstract: A method and product produced by the method for forming an interactive information device with a conductively coated panel includes forming a reduced contrast increased light transmitting, conductively coated panel by providing a transparent substrate and applying a transparent, conductive layer on at least one surface of the substrate in a predetermined pattern with at least one area having a conductive layer thereon and a second area without a conductive layer. The method further includes applying a transparent layer of a metal oxide such that the metal oxide layer, such as silicon dioxide, overlies both areas whereby visible contrast between the areas is reduced and light transmission through the coated panel is increased. The coated panel is then attached to an electro-optic display for displaying information when electricity is applied thereto.

  • Patent number: 9733749
    Abstract: A manufacturing process for forming a touch structure utilizes a first anti-etching optical layer to define the electrodes pattern and utilizes a second anti-etching optical layer to define the traces pattern. The first anti-etching optical layer and the second anti-etching optical layer do not need to be removed. The refractive index of the first anti-etching optical layer and the refractive index of the second anti-etching optical layer can be adjusted to reduce the display difference between the etched region and the non-etched region.

  • Patent number: 9656450
    Abstract: An apparatus for laminating substrates includes a laminating fixture having an open-topped recessed space formed by a pair of corresponding sidewalls for holding a target substrate therein. The recessed space is communicable with an air evacuation passage. A supporting structure is formed in the recessed space for supporting two opposite ends of a flexible substrate thereon, such that a bottom of the flexible substrate is spaced from a laminating surface of the target substrate by a predetermined distance. A soft plate is disposed over the open-topped laminating fixture to form an airtight chamber in the laminating fixture. When the airtight chamber is vacuumed using a vacuum pump via the evacuation passage, the soft plate is subjected to a suction pressure and downward deformed to press the flexible substrate downward, causing the flexible substrate to deflect to attach its bottom on the laminating surface of the target substrate.
