Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a transparent indium tin oxide conductive layer on a substrate. The method involves using a target having a low indium-to-tin ratio in a low temperature manufacturing process (less than 200° C.), and introducing a plasma gas and a reaction gas into the reaction chamber to allow sputtering of an indium tin oxide layer on the substrate under a low oxygen environment, followed by subjecting the sputtered substrate to a heat treatment at 150˜200° C. for 60˜90 minutes. The indium tin oxide layer thus produced will crystallize completely and have the advantageous properties of low surface resistance and high uniformity.

Abstract: A method of strengthening glass plate is provided. A plasma treating process is performed on a glass plate so that a surface pore variation of the glass plate after the plasma treating process is reduced relative to the surface pore variation of the glass plate before the plasma treating process, wherein the surface pore variation is a variation degree of surface pores in different unit areas of the glass plate. In the mean time, a melted network crosslinking structure is formed on the surface of the glass plate. Based on the above-mentioned mechanisms, the glass plate is strengthened. The plasma treating process is conducive to strengthen the glass plate whether the plasma treating process is performed before or after the conventional chemical strengthening process.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a modified electrode pattern of integrated touch panel that can include two to four polygonal parallel rows of conductive segments disposed on a transparent conductive surface. Etched slots can also be formed in the structure to adjust its equivalent impedance. For instance, in the two polygonal parallel rows of electrode pattern, the first electrode row, located at the utmost outer periphery of the sensing layer, is made up of several segments of convex electrodes and the first spacing set each of them apart. The second electrode row is made up of several segments of crosswise electrodes located right at the centerline of the first spacing between the convex electrodes and on the convex portion of such electrodes. It is aimed to adjust the circuit impedance to the most optimum proportion so that its electric field distribution can be linearized; meanwhile, its corresponding width can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a surface capacitive integrated touch panel and manufacturing method thereof. The touch panel comprises a transparent substrate, an icon or artwork layer coated on the periphery of one side face of the transparent substrate, and the inner periphery of the icon layer is not perpendicular to the adjacent line of the transparent substrate. It also comprises a sensing layer which is stacked on icon layer or artwork layer and the areas on the transparent substrate uncovered with the icon layer or artwork layer. Other than that, it comprises a metal layout and an electrode pattern which are formed from the outer of the icon layer to its inner side. The electrode pattern is formed via coating, printing or spraying. This unconventional way of laminating the electrode pattern structures can effectively lower the overall thickness of the panel and increase yield rate.
