    Abstract: A capacitive transparent touch sheet has excellent visibility and durability without changing the sensitivity, size, or the like of a touch panel. A capacitive transparent touch sheet is a capacitive transparent touch sheet that comprises: a substrate; strip shaped first electrodes comprising a transparent metal oxide and formed separately on a first surface of the substrate; strip shaped second electrodes formed on a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface and to cross the first electrodes; and at least one insulation part formed continuously with the second electrodes and having a thickness the same as that of the second electrodes. The second electrodes comprise conductive nanofibers conductively connected with each other, and a binder resin for holding the conductive nanofibers on the substrate; and the at least one insulation part comprises the binder resin that constitutes the second electrodes without the conductive nanofibers.

  • Patent number: 6016954
    Abstract: A card holder provides a balance reader for an IC card utilized for a system for settling cash utilizing the IC card. The balance reader is provided with the card holder-type body having a card slot provided in the body. A liquid-crystal display and at least one push-button are arranged on the body for user interface. A cover member is attached to the body via a hinge so that it can be opened or closed. When an IC card is inserted into the body and the push-button is pressed, the liquid-crystal display is lit and the current balance of currency is displayed on the liquid-crystal display. When the cover member is opened and the IC card is extracted, the display of the balance is switched to a blinking display. When a settlement is performed using the IC card, a microcomputer in the body can operate to display the balance after the settlement as well as a paid or received amount, in addition to the previous balance before the settlement.
