  • Patent number: 8499445
    Abstract: Printed conductive lines and a method of preparing them using polymer nanocomposites with low resistivity and high current carrying capacity. Plasma treatment selectively removes polymers/organics from nanocomposites. Subsequent selective metal is deposited on top of the exposed metal surface of the printed conductive lines in order to improve current carrying capacity of the conductive printed lines. The printed conductive lines use a conductive ink or printing process and are then cured thermally and/or by a lamination process. Next, the printed conductive lines are treated with the plasma for 5-15 minutes in order to remove organics. E-less copper (Cu) is selectively deposited only at the conducting particle surface of the printed conductive lines. If desired, e-less gold, silver, tin, or tin-lead can be deposited on top of the e-less Cu.

The touch panel having a shielding structure comprises a conductive ring disposed on periphery of an upper surface of a substrate, a shielding layer disposed on a lower surface of the substrate, and a plurality of conductive connection points electrically connecting the shielding layer and the conductive ring. By connecting the shielding layer and the conductive ring by the conductive connection points, impedance of the shielding layer is consistent for different distances between the shielding layer and flexible printed circuit, thereby eliminating noise interference from a liquid crystal display or an electronic device under the touch panel, while using the touch panel. Moreover, the manufacturing method of the touch panel with a shielding structure is a simple process, which reduces the manufacturing cost.
