  • Publication number: 20110298750
    Abstract: A touch-sensitive device includes a transparent substrate, a touch-sensing structure, a metal trace layer, a transparent conductive layer and a first insulation layer. The touch-sensing structure is disposed on the transparent substrate and located in a touch-sensitive region of the touch-sensitive device. The metal trace layer is disposed on a non-touch-sensitive region of the touch-sensitive device. The transparent conductive layer is connected to the metal trace layer. The first insulation layer covers at least the touch-sensing structure, the metal trace layer and the transparent conductive layer. At least one opening is formed on the first insulation layer to expose a part of the transparent conductive layer.

  • Publication number: 20110291987
    Abstract: A touch-sensitive device includes a transparent substrate, a touch-sensing structure, a decorative layer, a metal trace layer, a first insulation layer and a second insulation layer. The touch-sensing structure is disposed on the transparent substrate and located in a touch-sensitive region of the touch-sensitive device. The decorative layer is disposed on a non-touch-sensitive region of the touch-sensitive device, and the metal trace layer is disposed on the non-touch-sensitive region. The first insulation layer is disposed on the transparent substrate and covers the touch-sensing structure and the metal trace layer. The second insulation layer is disposed on the transparent substrate and distributed only in the non-touch-sensitive region to provide a distribution area substantially overlapping the metal trace layer.

  • Publication number: 20110227842
    Abstract: A touch panel structure and the manufacturing method thereof are disclosed, in which the manufacturing method includes the steps of: providing a bonding layer; and forming a conductive pattern layer on the bonding layer; wherein the conductive pattern layer is composed of at least one first and at least one second major conductors with an insulation layer interposed between the first and the second major conductors. Comparing with the prior art for manufacturing touch panels, the disclosure is advantageous in material cost, production cost, and production yield; moreover, the panel lamination process can be simplified and the touch panel structure can be joined to a planar or curvy panel and facilitate the design of a thinner product.

  • Publication number: 20110141034
    Abstract: A touch panel having a transparent region and a peripheral region surrounding the transparent region is provided. The touch panel includes a transparent cover, a touch device, a light-shielding layer, a layer of conductive lines, and a touch chip. The transparent cover has a touch surface and a device mounting surface opposite thereto. The touch device is disposed on the device mounting surface and at least located at the transparent region. The light-shielding layer is disposed on the transparent cover and located inside the peripheral region. The layer of conductive lines is disposed on the device mounting surface, located inside the peripheral region, and electrically connected to the touch device. The touch chip is disposed on the layer of conductive lines through a chip-on-glass process.

  • Publication number: 20070063983
    Abstract: This invention is a kind of layout of touch panel for avoiding moires, which deploys a transparent conductive layout on the touch panel, and let the open area of the transparent conductive layout discontinuous match and cover the corresponding sub-pixels of the display such that the behavior of the display brightness passing through the open area of the transparent conductive layout is dispersed sufficiently so as to avoid the difference of the display brightness passing through the open area sensed by human eyes, and then to avoid moires generated on the touch panel.

  • Publication number: 20060274253
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes an upper board and a lower board that couple each other and form a space therebetween, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the upper board and the lower board and a plurality of spacers located in the space between the upper board and the lower board. The spacers are conductive so that the liquid crystal layer and the spacers form two equivalent parallel resistive paths to conduct the extra charges in the liquid crystals. When the LCD is subject to an external high static charge source, the static partial voltage found in the liquid crystal layer is reduced because of the lower equivalent parallel resistance, thus the damage and the interference on the liquid crystals in the liquid crystal layer caused by the external static charge source may be reduced.
