Abstract: The manufacturing method of a large-sized touch panel device by which a plurality of base materials different in linear expansion coefficient from each other is bonded together, includes: roughening the bonding surfaces of the base materials; and vacuum-bonding the base materials with an optical adhesive. The optical adhesive has a storage elastic modulus of 1×105 Pa or more at 80° C.

Abstract: A touch panel glass substrate which can be manufactured simultaneously with other touch panel glass substrates, is free of microcracks in edges, and has predetermined strength, and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. An original glass plate as large as to cut out a plurality of glass substrates is prepared. Detection electrode traces and lead wiring traces on each glass substrate are simultaneously formed on the original glass plate. The original glass plate is then chemically etched to separate the touch panel glass substrates. The separation by chemical etching produces no microcracks in edges.

Abstract: A touch panel for use in an ultra-high resolution display includes a transparent film substrate having one surface made of PET or the like and a transparent electrode film made of ITO film or the like that is formed on the transparent film substrate. A surface of the film substrate opposite the surface on which the transparent electrode is formed has a coating layer including a filler. The filler has an average particle size of 0.1 ?m to 0.01 ?m, and the coating layer is formed to have a surface having arithmetic particle roughness (Ra) of 0.1 ?m to 0.01 ?m, whereby the Ra of the surface of the coating layer is formed to 1/2000th to 1/4000th of the pixel pitch of a display to which the touch panel is attached.

Abstract: A pair of piezoelectric substrates, the length of which is shorter than the length of one side in the longitudinal direction of the operation panel or the supporting board, is respectively fixed to one side from the diagonal position along the longitudinal direction. At the time of detecting an inputting operation, a drive voltage is applied and the entire operation panel or the supporting board is vibrated. Even when the four corners of the operation panel or the supporting board are supported by the housing for accommodating the tablet apparatus or supported by the display device so that the vibration of the four corners is restricted, since either of the pair of piezoelectric substrates, which becomes a vibration source, a feeling of inputting operation can be transmitted to an operator by the vibration, the amplitude of which is not less than a predetermined value, irrespective of the inputting operation position.

Abstract: A touch panel of the present invention in which a piezoelectric substrate is fixed to a movable plate or a supporting substrate has a reduced weight, size, and thickness by providing simpler wiring. The touch panel comprises: a movable plate having an input manipulation surface; a supporting substrate, disposed with a slight insulation gap from the movable plate, for supporting the movable plate from a back surface thereof; conductive layers on the movable plate and the supporting substrate on their respective opposing surfaces; and a piezoelectric substrate fixed to the movable plate or the supporting substrate. A pair of driving electrodes on the piezoelectric substrate are fixed to respective opposing surfaces of the piezoelectric substrate. A conductive layer electrode of the movable plate, a conductive layer electrode of the supporting substrate, and the pair of driving electrodes of the piezoelectric substrate are withdrawn integrally using a single connector tail.

Abstract: A squeegee is slid over a metal mask plate so as to fill a sealing resin in a resin inflow space through a through hole, and the sealing resin, deposited on an outer surface of an electronic part that includes a vibrating part, is thermally set. A through hole that corresponds to an electronic part is formed in a metal mask plate. The through hole includes a lower smaller through hole and an upper larger through hole communicating with an upper side of the lower smaller through hole, and a step portion is formed within the through hole. A relief recess is provided in a region of a metal mask plate including at least a projected region in which an operating area is projected onto a surface of the metal mask plate opposing the touch panel in a state in which the metal mask plate covers the touch panel.

Abstract: A plurality of signal conductor wires connected respectively to signal lead patterns, and a plurality of power conductor wires connected respectively to power lead patterns are formed on a connector tail and are arranged to extend in a leading-out direction. A pitch of the power conductor wires is twice larger than a pitch of the signal conductor wires. A sufficient insulating gap is secured between the adjacent power conductor wires, and therefore there is no fear that the short-circuiting occur even when a high drive voltage is applied.
