  • Patent number: 9215796
    Abstract: A touch panel has a substrate on which a first conductive layer, an insulating layer, a second conductive layer and a protective layer are formed in order. The second conductive layer and the first conductive layer form a touch-sensing area. The protective layer and the substrate have the same refractive index; and the first conductive layer, the insulating layer and the second conductive layer have the same refractive index so that the whole layered structure substantially has a symmetrical distribution of refractive indices, and leading to having optical characteristics of high transmittance and low reflectance.

  • Publication number: 20150261354
    Abstract: An input device and an input method for a data processing device are provided. The input device includes a touch-sensitive module, an operation prompt interface and a controller. According to the input method, the input device issues a first input signal to the data processing device when a first electrical property change resulting from the keystroke or the tap is sensed in a first operation state. The input device is switched from the first operation state to a second operation state in response to a switching operation. The input device issues a second input signal to the data processing device when a second electrical property change resulting from a touch action is sensed in the second operation state.

  • Publication number: 20150199023
    Abstract: A touch-sensitive keypad control device for use with a controlled device is provided. The touch-sensitive keypad control device includes: a housing, a touch control device disposed in the housing, and a keypad device uncovered from the housing and disposed above the touch control device. The touch control device generates a first command for controlling the controlled device in response to a gesture of a user relative to the keypad device, and the keypad device generates a second command for controlling the controlled device in response to a level change of the keypad device relative to the housing in response to a pressing operation of a user.

  • Publication number: 20140184941
    Abstract: A touch panel and touch-controlled display device are provided. The touch panel includes a transparent substrate, a touch-sensitive electrode pattern, a decoration pattern and an electric-control trace. The transparent substrate includes a touch area and a surrounding area surrounding the touch area. The touch-sensitive electrode pattern is disposed on the touch area of the transparent substrate. The decoration pattern is disposed on the surrounding area of the transparent substrate to form a frame side part not surrounding the touch-sensitive electrode pattern. The electric-control trace is located in the surrounding area, stacked on the transparent substrate and the decoration pattern, and electrically connected to the touch-sensitive electrode pattern. Since the electric-control traces are with low-visibility characteristic, the electric-control traces are invisible from the transparent substrate.

  • Publication number: 20140176825
    Abstract: A touch panel is disclosed, which includes a substrate, plural sensing units, plural wires, and a grounding component. The substrate includes a touch area and a wiring area surrounding the touch area. The sensing units are formed in the touch area. The wires are formed in the wiring area and are connected to the sensing units. The ground component is formed in the wiring area and includes plural hollow portions and conductive portions. At least parts of the hollow portions and at least parts of the conductive portions are alternatingly arranged. The situation of metal peeling can be prevented by slicing the grounding component in the touch panel.
