An automatically switchable dual-power-circuit-loop circuit system selectively supplies a first power source through a first voltage output circuit loop to an output terminal, and a second power source is selectively supplied through a second voltage output circuit loop to the output terminal. A switching control circuit functions to detect the first output voltage of the first voltage output circuit loop. When the first output voltage regularly supplies electrical power, the first power source is supplied through the first voltage output circuit loop to the output terminal, while the switching control circuit generates a switching signal to switch a switching element to an open-circuit condition thereby cutting off the second voltage output circuit loop. When the first power source fails to supply power, the switching element is set in a closed-circuit condition to allow the second power source to be supplied through the second voltage output circuit loop to the output terminal.

The flexible film contains integratedly the flexible printed circuit by an in-mould injecting mode. The flexible film has an outer surface for touch control. The outer surface is configured for being pressed for driving the touch control circuit of the flexible printed circuit to output signals. Therefore, the present touch module is manufactured simply, and has a thin thickness.

Abstract
An in-mold molding touch module includes a plastic film, a touch circuit and a molding rind. The plastic film includes an inner surface and an outer surface for handling and touching. At least one region of the inner surface and a corresponding region of the outer surface define a touch area. The touch circuit is arranged on the inner surface in the touch area. The molding rind is integrated on the inner surface by an in-mold injecting mode to contain the touch circuit for forming a one-piece body. In addition, the invention also provides a method for manufacturing an in-mold molding touch module.
