Abstract: A manufacturing method for a single-sided multi-layer mutual capacitance touch circuit structure uses selective laser processing. The structure that is created includes two conducting layers on the same side of a transparent non-conducting substrate, with isolation substructures providing the required electrical isolation at the cross-over points of the circuits and electrodes on the two conducting layers. By using selective laser processing, the structure is selectively etched and cures any part of any layer in a multi-layer structure without damaging neighboring regions and other layers.

Abstract: A structure for a mutual capacitance touch panel consists of two conducting layers formed on the same side of a non-conducting substrate, insulating gaps within the structure, and insulating blocks formed between the two conducting layers for electrical isolation. This structure relies on the insulating gaps to form a touch function circuit in the first direction, a first auxiliary touch function region on the first conducting layer, a second touch function circuit in the second direction, and a second auxiliary touch function region on the second conducting layer. The insulating blocks are arranged at intersecting points of the first and second conducting touch function circuits that electrically isolate the first and the second conducting circuits. This structure is achieved by using a simple manufacturing process with a high yield but low material consumption thereby allowing a novel touch function structure to be implemented.
