  • Publication number: 20110298729
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a touch panel including: a transparent substrate 10, transparent electrodes 20 patterned and formed on the transparent substrate 10, and a non-conductive and colored transmittance compensation material 40 filled in an opening part 30 formed between the patterned transparent electrodes 20. In the touch panel, the opening part 30 formed between the transparent electrodes patterned and formed on the transparent substrate 10 is filled with the transmittance compensation material 40 to compensate for a difference in light transmittance and reduce abrupt change in the refractive index, thereby making it possible to improve visibility of the entire touch panel. In addition, the opening part between the patterned transparent electrodes 20 is filled with the non-conductive transmittance compensation material 40 to prevent an electrical short between the patterned transparent electrodes 20, thereby making it possible to improve reliability of the operation of the touch panel.

  • Publication number: 20110254803
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for recognizing a resistive touch screen. The method for recognizing the resistive touch screen includes: sensing touch generated at the resistive touch screen; calculating a difference value, a searching value by detecting voltage at two electrode wirings connected with a transparent resistive layer of the resistive touch screen; and comparing the searching value with a reference value that is a difference value between voltages detected at the two electrode wirings when the resistive touch screen is single-touched, whereby the single touch and the multi-touch can be differentiated. Further, the embodiment sets the error range in the single touch and the error range in the multi-touch and compares these error ranges, thereby making it possible to more accurately differentiate the multi-touch and the single touch and provides various input information, thereby making it possible to provide various user interfaces.
