Patent number: 11360593Abstract: A touch panel includes a substrate, touch signal lines, sub-pixels, touch electrode groups, and at least one common signal array. The touch signal lines and the sub-pixels are located on substrate. Each of the sub-pixels includes a switch element and a pixel electrode. The switch element is electrically connected to a corresponding scan line and a corresponding data line. The touch electrode groups include touch electrodes. The touch electrodes overlap the pixel electrodes of the sub-pixels. Each of the touch electrode groups is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the touch signal lines. The common signal array includes common electrodes. Each of the common electrodes overlaps at least one of the scan line and the data line. The number of the sub-pixels overlapped by the common signal array is greater than the number of the sub-pixels overlapped by each of the touch electrode groups.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Au Optronics CorporationInventors: Chia-Chi Lee, Sheng-Chin Fan, Che-Min Lin, Chun-Ru Huang, Chen-Hao Chiang, Yu-Hsin Hsieh, Zeng-De Chen

Patent number: 8986485Abstract: A fabrication method of a touch panel is provided. In the fabrication method, the two substrates are provided, and a plurality of touch units are formed on each of the substrates. A sealant and a plurality of first spacers are provided between the substrates, and the substrates are bonded through the sealant, so that the touch units are sealed between the substrates. The touch units and the first spacers are surrounded by the sealant. The substrates are thinned. The thinned substrates are cut into a plurality of sub-mounts separated from one another. Each of the sub-mounts has one of the touch units thereon.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2011Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Au Optronics CorporationInventors: Sheng-Chin Fan, Tun-Chun Yang, Seok-Lyul Lee, Wei-Ming Huang
