Patent number: 8508492Abstract: In a touch panel, one of conductive layers on a bottom of an upper substrate and on a top of a lower substrate is formed of belt-shaped conductive layers. The other is a single conductive layer facing the belt-shaped conductive layers. The single conductive layer is provided with a pair of electrodes in positions corresponding to both ends in a direction where the belt-shaped conductive layers extend. When the upper substrate is pressed while a voltage is applied between the pair of electrodes, the top and lower conductive layers contact with each other. Then, a voltage value corresponding to the pressed position in the direction where the belt-shaped conductive layers extend is generated from any of the belt-shaped conductive layers. From the voltage value and the position of the belt-shaped conductive layer from which the voltage value is generated, a pressed position on the upper substrate can be detected.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Koji Tanabe, Hirotoshi Watanabe, Hidetoshi Hiraoka, Kenichi Matsumoto

Publication number: 20110315534Abstract: A light guide sheet guides light emitted from a light introducer. The light guide sheet includes a film-shaped substrate, a light emitting section formed on the substrate, and a belt-shaped light-blocking section. The light emitting section reflects or scatters light transmitting in the substrate to the outside. The light-blocking section is formed in the substrate by coloring a position of the substrate to a color. In the position, the light emitting section is not formed. The color absorbs the light which is emitted from the light introducer. The light emitting section can alternatively be composed of a plurality of projections and/or a plurality of recesses. Such a light-blocking section is formed in a position of the substrate where the projections and/or the recesses are not formed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2010Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Koji Tanabe, Naoki Tatehata, Hirotoshi Watanabe, Tsutomu Aisaka

Publication number: 20110280024Abstract: The light guide sheet has a base of a light transmissive film, a first light-extracting section, and a second light-extracting section. The light-extracting sections having pits and projections are formed on a surface of the base. The base has a first color converter at least at a part corresponding to the position having the first light-extracting section in a thickness direction of the base. The first color converter converts light from a light source into a first color. Forming a color converter for predetermined color at each part corresponding to a plurality of the light-extracting sections allows the one color emitted from a light-emitting element to be converted into differently colored light beams at the light-extracting sections. The structure offers various patterns of illumination without increase in number of the light-emitting element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2011Publication date: November 17, 2011Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: KOJI TANABE, NAOKI TATEHATA, HIROTOSHI WATANABE
