  • Patent number: 8674249
    Abstract: A capacitive touch panel has precise etching lines formed on a transparent conductive film so as to form with a desired pattern. As a result, the hollowed portion on the conductive film will be reduced greatly and thus the flatness of the capacitance sensing structure will be improved and the transmittances in different areas will tend to be uniform. Thus the image distortion in the screen below the touch panel will be improved. Besides, the etching lines will divide the waste etching areas on the conductive lines into a plurality of small units which can reduce the capacitances of the noises.

  • Publication number: 20110227835
    Abstract: A transparent touch panel assembly includes stacking layers of a linearity polarizer film, a touch layer, a resistive touch sensing unit, a substrate, and a phase retardation film. The touch layer is a flexible transparent film having at least one surface thereof being processed by phase-coating. The substrate is a hard transparent glass. The resistive touch sensing unit is insulated arranged between the touch layer and the substrate. The touch panel assembly is arranged in front of a display. By half orthogonal angle between the axes of the linearity polarizer film and the phase retardation of the touch layer, reflections of the environment incident lights will be suppressed. By the phase retardation film arranged between the resistive touch sensing unit and a LCD display and an orthogonal angle between the axes of the phase retardation film and the phase retardation of the touch layer, a higher contrast will be achieved.
