The second conductive layer is insulated from the first conductive layer. Due to the capacitor formed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, it just needs to attach the conductive film to a glass panel when the conductive film is adopted to manufacture a touch screen, without bonding two pieces of conductive films. In addition, the matrix layer, formed by solidifying the jelly painted on the substrate, is with a much smaller thickness than the substrate. Therefore, the touch screen using the conductive film has a smaller thickness.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2013Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: NANCHANG O-FILM TECH.

Publication number: 20140202740Abstract: In a build-up step, a plurality of resin insulation layers and a plurality of conductive layers are alternately laminated in multilayer arrangement on a metal foil separably laminated on a side of a base material, thereby forming a wiring laminate portion. In a drilling step, a plurality of openings are formed in an outermost resin insulation layer through laser drilling so as to expose connection terminals. Subsequently, in a desmear step, smears from inside the openings are removed. In a base-material removing step performed after the build-up step, the base material is removed and the metal foil is exposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinnosuke MAEDA, Tetsuo SUZUKI, Takuya HANDO, Tatsuya ITO, Satoshi HIRANO, Atsuhiko SUGIMOTO
