  • Publication number: 20160124542
    Abstract: A capacitive touch panel and a method of making it are provided. The method first sputters a layer of TCO coatings on a transparent substrate to form a conductive portion and a base portion, and then coats a layer of transparent and insulating coatings on the conductive portion to form a blocking member. Another layer of TCO coatings is also sputtered on the conductive portion, the base portion, and the blocking member to form a first detection electrode assembly and a second detection electrode assembly. The first detection electrode assembly is arranged in a first axial direction with part thereof below the blocking member, while the second detection electrode assembly is arranged in a second axial direction, and part of the second detection electrode assembly covers the blocking member without contacting the first detection electrode assembly to make the first and the second detection electrode assemblies disconnect with each other.
