  • Patent number: 8009148
    Abstract: An adaptive non-contact testing method is provided for testing a touch panel, wherein an air nozzle generates an air jet toward a selected position on a touch panel under testing to cause the touch panel to generate a touch signal. A testing system receives the touch signal generated by the touch panel and compares the received touch signal with a preset touch-signal reference level. When the received touch signal is smaller than the preset touch-signal reference level, the height distance between the air nozzle and the touch panel is reduced or the pressure of the air jet from the air nozzle is varied to realize adaptive testing of the touch panel.

  • Publication number: 20100231549
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display integrated with a capacitive touch device is provided. A first electrode layer is formed immediately on an upper surface of a polarizing plate of a liquid crystal display panel, and a second electrode layer is formed on the bottom surface of the polarizing plate of the liquid crystal display panel. When an object touches the capacitive touch device, it becomes capacitively coupled to the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer to generate a signal corresponding to the touched position.

  • Publication number: 20090122021
    Abstract: Disclosed is a touch screen display with an electric field shielding layer arranged between a liquid crystal layer of an LCD device and a glass substrate, having a touch sensing layer arranged on a top surface thereof, so that the electric field shielding layer isolates signal interference between the touch sensing layer and the liquid crystal layer.

  • Publication number: 20090002330
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for carrying out non-contact testing of a touch panel. An air nozzle is arranged above the touch panel with a predetermined distance set between an air jet orifice of the air nozzle and a surface of the touch pane. Air is supplied to the air nozzle to cause the air jet orifice to generate an air jet toward the touch panel. Under the control of a test device, the air nozzle is driven to move along a predetermined testing route on the surface of the touch panel and the touch panel generates touch signals corresponding to the movement of the air nozzle along the route. The test device receives the touch signals and determines if the touch panel satisfies the linearity test.

  • Publication number: 20080088601
    Abstract: A circuit layout is provided on a touch panel having a transparent glass substrate and a transparent conducting layer coated on a transparent conducting layer coating zone of the glass substrate. A peripheral wiring zone is defined on an area on the glass substrate that is not coated by the transparent conducting layer. The circuit layout includes a first and second circuit. The first circuit is formed of a first plated metal layer through metal sputtering on the transparent conducting layer at positions proximate to the peripheral wiring zone and is electrically connected to the transparent conducting layer to thereby develop a voltage gradient on the transparent conducting layer. The second circuit is formed of a second plated metal layer through metal sputtering or screen printing on the peripheral wiring zone and is electrically connected to the first circuit so as to apply a working voltage across the first circuit.
