  • Patent number: 10025435
    Abstract: A touch panel may include a substrate, a touch unit region and a covering layer. The touch unit region includes first electrode and a second electrode isolated from the first electrode. The covering layer covers at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode and has a touch surface. A distance between the touch surface and the first electrode or the second electrode ranges between 0.01 micrometers and 100 micrometers. A mutual capacitance value between the first electrode and the second electrode ranges between 0.1 pF and 10 pF when a touch has not occurred yet.

  • Patent number: 9796874
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the disclosure, a substrate structure, a method for manufacturing the substrate structure, and a method for manufacturing an electronic device are disclosed. The substrate structure includes a carrier, a de-bonding layer, and a flexible substrate. The carrier has a top surface. The de-bonding layer contacts the carrier, wherein there is a first adhesion force between the de-bonding layer and the carrier. The de-bonding layer is prepared from a composition, and the composition includes at least one acrylate-based monomer and at least one acrylate-based oligomer, wherein the total number of acrylate groups in the acrylate-based monomer and the acrylate-based oligomer is greater than or equal to 3. The flexible substrate covers and contacts the de-bonding layer, wherein there is a second adhesion force between the de-bonding layer and the flexible substrate. The second adhesion force is greater than the first adhesion force.

  • Patent number: 9372509
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a substrate, first electrodes, second electrodes, third electrodes, and fourth electrodes. The substrate includes a first touch region, a second touch region, and a first touch folding region disposed between the first touch region and the second touch region. The first electrodes extending from the first touch region to the first touch folding region and the second electrodes are disposed in the first touch region on the substrate. The third electrodes extending from the second touch region to the first touch folding region and the fourth electrodes are disposed in the second touch region on the substrate. The first electrodes and the third electrodes are not intersected with one another. A ratio of any side length of the touch panel to a distance between the first touch region and the second touch region is between 9.5 and 95.
