Abstract: The present invention proposes a surface capacitive integrated touch panel and manufacturing method thereof. The touch panel comprises a transparent substrate, an icon or artwork layer coated on the periphery of one side face of the transparent substrate, and the inner periphery of the icon layer is not perpendicular to the adjacent line of the transparent substrate. It also comprises a sensing layer which is stacked on icon layer or artwork layer and the areas on the transparent substrate uncovered with the icon layer or artwork layer. Other than that, it comprises a metal layout and an electrode pattern which are formed from the outer of the icon layer to its inner side. The electrode pattern is formed via coating, printing or spraying. This unconventional way of laminating the electrode pattern structures can effectively lower the overall thickness of the panel and increase yield rate.

Abstract: A touch panel includes a transparent substrate, an electrically conductive icon or artwork layer, a first icon or artwork layer, a sensing layer, a metal layout and an electrode pattern. The electrically conductive icon or artwork layer is disposed between the transparent substrate and the first icon or artwork layer. The first icon or artwork layer is so coated as to extend over the periphery of the electrically conductive icon or artwork layer. The electrically conductive icon or artwork layer is electrically connected to a grounding trace to impart the touch panel an improved anti-electromagnetic interference capability, thereby ameliorating the problem of false actuation that frequently occurs between the icon or artwork layer and the sensing layer in the conventional devices.

Abstract: The substrate according to the invention includes at least one surface coated with an organic buffer layer and the organic buffer layer is provided with a coating layer on a surface thereof opposite to its surface attached to the substrate. The provision of the organic buffer layer diminishes the effect of the coating layer on the strength of the substrate, thereby maintaining the strength of the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated touch panel comprising a transparent substrate, one of an icon or artwork layer, a first layer of optical film, and a first sensing layer. The icon layer or artwork layer is coated on the periphery of one side face of the transparent substrate, and the inner periphery of the icon layer or artwork layer is not perpendicular to the adjacent line of the transparent substrate. The first layer of optical film is stacked on icon layer or artwork layer and the areas on the transparent substrate uncovered with icon layer. The first sensing layer is stacked on the first layer of optical film by sputtering. The interchangeability is included in the patent claim of the present invention. As icon layer or artwork layer is not perpendicular to the transparent substrate, the subsequent cladding of the structures may be completed by sputtering or other methods.
