  • Patent number: 8711086
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing touch panel includes the steps of providing a backlight module having at least one extended wall portion formed therewith, so that a receiving space is enclosed in the extended wall portion; providing a liquid crystal display (LCD) layer and a capacitive sensing layer; providing a bonding layer to bond the LCD layer and the capacitive sensing layer to each other; and positioning the bonded LCD layer and capacitive sensing layer in the receiving space of the backlight module. Any extra amount of the bonding layer flowing out from between the bonded LCD layer and capacitive sensing layer forms an overflowed portion that is stopped by the extended wall portion from entering into the receiving space, so that time and labor costs for removing the overflowed portion in assembling the touch panel are saved and the production yield is increased.

  • Publication number: 20140049506
    Abstract: A touch panel and a method of manufacturing same are disclosed. The touch panel includes a backlight module, an LCD display unit disposed in a receiving space enclosed in a raised wall portion of the backlight module, a capacitive sensing layer arranged on one side of a first glass substrate of the LCD display unit, and a transparent substrate bonded by an adhesive layer to one side of the LCD display unit opposite to the backlight module. Any extra amount of the adhesive layer flowing out from between the LCD display unit and the transparent substrate forms an overflowed adhesive portion, which is also located in the receiving space and shielded by the raised wall portion of the backlight module. Therefore, the step of removing the overflowed adhesive portion can be saved to reduce the labor and time cost for assembling the touch panel.

  • Patent number: 8647519
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of touchpad includes steps of: providing a substrate and disposing a shield layer on the substrate, a section of the substrate, where the shield layer is positioned being defined as a non-touch section, a section of the substrate, which is free from the shield layer being defined as a touch section; disposing a touch electrode layer with multiple touch electrodes on the substrate; disposing a metal wiring layer with multiple metal wires on the touch electrode layer; performing a first time of lithography and etching processes to the metal wiring layer so as to form multiple metal wires on the non-touch section; and performing a second time of lithography and etching processes to the touch electrode layer so as to form multiple touch electrodes on the non-touch section and the touch section. The manufacturing method saves the cost for masks and shortens the manufacturing time.
