  • Publication number: 20100182277
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a lower conductive film, four electrodes disposed in edge portions of four sides of the lower conductive film, and an upper conductive film disposed over the lower conductive film so that the upper and lower conductive films are opposed to each other, to detect an electric potential in the lower conductive film when the upper conductive film is in contact with the lower conductive film. The upper conductive film includes split portions containing no transparent conductive material and split conductive portions divided by the split portions. The touch panel is arranged to detect an electric potential of each of contact points in the split conductive portions when the upper and lower conductive films are brought in contact with each other at the contact points, and detect respective coordinates of the contact points based on the electrical potentials.

  • Publication number: 20090289643
    Abstract: A coordinate detecting device includes a resistive film disposed on a quadrangular substrate; a power source for applying a voltage to the resistive film; four electrodes connected to the power source and disposed in four corners of the resistive film; four switches each disposed between the power source and a corresponding electrode; four ammeters for measuring currents flowing through corresponding electrodes; and a grounded conductive film for detecting coordinates of a contact point on the resistive film when the conductive film is brought in contact with the resistive film. The voltage is applied sequentially to the electrodes by opening and closing the switches. When the conductive film is brought in contact with the resistive film, the ammeters sequentially measure currents flowing through the corresponding electrodes. The coordinates of the contact point are detected based on positions of the electrodes and resistances obtained using the measured currents.
