  • Publication number: 20130335822
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method for manufacturing touch-sensitive element on a polarizer, and a polarization device made by the method. In one of the embodiments of the invention, a polarizing substrate is firstly prepared. The method then coats first transparent conductive material onto the substrate, and uses a patterning process to form multiple sensing areas and wiring areas. There are continuous paths and adjacent non-continuous paths are existed in between the sensing areas. A bridged insulating layer is formed as processing the step for spray-coating or inject-printing insulating material upon the areas of the non-continuous pads. A bridged conductive layer is formed upon the insulation layer as spray-coating or inject-printing a second transparent conductive material there-on. The bridged conductive layer is to electrically connect the non-continuous pads. The method is therefore forming the polarization device with the touch-screen elements.

The first substrate upper surface includes at least one first electrically conductive element disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The ion layer is formed on a surface of the electrochromic layer and prepared by mixing and dissolving at least one organic material and at least one inorganic material in a solvent. The ion layer not only serves as an ion provider, but also acts as an electrochromic material of an accessory color change layer for improving the difference of the optical transmittance. By the shifting and transmission of electrons between the organic and inorganic materials, the electrochromic module has the advantages of fast and uniform color change and smaller driving voltage.
