Publication number: 20240370109Abstract: An electrode structure includes a substrate and a silver nanowire electrode disposed on the substrate. The electrode structure can be changed from an expanded state to a bent state with a bending radius of about 2-4 mm. The electrode structure includes a bending region and a first non-bending region and a second non-bending region respectively adjacent to the bending region in the bent state. The silver nanowire electrode has a change rate of a resistance value between the bent state and the expanded state of less than 10% in an electrode section of the bending region.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Jian Zhang, Si Qiang Xu, Mei Fen Bai, Wei Chuan Chao, Jun Hua Huang, Song Xin Wang, Feng Ming Xue, Long Yun Zhan, Jin Shou Huang

Patent number: 12079407Abstract: A touch sensor includes a substrate, sensing channels, and a protective layer. The sensing channels are disposed at intervals on a surface of the substrate, and any one of the sensing channels includes an electrode portion and a silver trace portion electrically connected to the electrode portion. The protective layer is disposed on the substrate and covers and encapsulates the sensing channels. After the touch sensor is subjected to a salt spray test with sodium chloride solution of a mass percentage concentration of 5% at a rate of 1 mL/H to 2 mL/H under an ambient temperature of 35° C. for 48 hours, a resistance change rate of any one of the sensing channels is less than or equal to 10%, and a resistance distribution difference between the sensing channels is less than or equal to 10%.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: TPK Advanced Solutions Inc.Inventors: Shao Jie Liu, Si Qiang Xu, Chien Hsien Yu, Chia Jui Lin, Jian Zhang, Wei Na Cao, Mei Fang Lan, Jun Hua Huang, Mei Fen Bai, Song Xin Wang

Patent number: 11829539Abstract: A touch sensor having a visible area and a peripheral area includes a substrate, a metal nanowire layer, and a silver layer. The metal nanowire layer is disposed on a main surface of the substrate and defines an electrode portion and first and second wirings, in which the first wiring includes a lead-out portion connected to the electrode portion and a lead portion connected to the lead-out portion, and the second wiring is disposed on a side of the first wiring relatively away from the visible area and adjacent to an edge of the main surface. The silver layer is stacked on the first and second wirings and has a first side facing toward the visible area and a second side facing away from the visible area, and an edge roughness on the first side is greater than an edge roughness on the second side.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: TPK ADVANCED SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Shao Jie Liu, Chia Jui Lin, Chien Hsien Yu, Jian Zhang, Si Qiang Xu, Jun Hua Huang, Mei Fen Bai, Song Xin Wang, Long Yun Zhan, Bo Huang

Patent number: 11775107Abstract: A touch sensor having a visible area and a peripheral area includes a substrate, a metal nanowire layer, and a silver layer. The metal nanowire layer is disposed on a main surface of the substrate and defines a plurality of electrode portions corresponding to the visible area and a plurality of wiring portions corresponding to the peripheral area. The electrode portions are arranged at intervals, and the wiring portions are respectively connected to the electrode portions and arranged at intervals. Two adjacent electrode portions are spaced apart by a first spacer region, and two adjacent wiring portions are spaced apart by a second spacer region. The silver layer is disposed on the wiring portions and in contact with the wiring portions. A thickness of the substrate corresponding to the first spacer region is smaller than a thickness of the substrate corresponding to the second spacer region.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: TPK ADVANCED SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Chia Jui Lin, Shao Jie Liu, Jian Zhang, Si Qiang Xu, Jun Hua Huang, Mei Fen Bai, Song Xin Wang, Long Yun Zhan, Bo Huang
