Abstract

A manufacturing process for forming a touch structure utilizes a first anti-etching optical layer to define the electrodes pattern and utilizes a second anti-etching optical layer to define the traces pattern. The first anti-etching optical layer and the second anti-etching optical layer do not need to be removed. The refractive index of the first anti-etching optical layer and the refractive index of the second anti-etching optical layer can be adjusted to reduce the display difference between the etched region and the non-etched region.

Abstract

A single-layer projected capacitive touch panel has a glass cover, a touch sensing circuit layer, an insulating ink layer, a conductive wire layer, an insulator layer, a conductive glue layer and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board. The touch sensing circuit layer, the insulating ink layer, the conductive wire layer, the insulator layer and the conductive glue layer are mounted on a circuit surface of the glass cover in sequence. The insulating ink layer covers the touch sensing circuit layer and has multiple through slots. Each through slot is filled with an electric conductor. The FPC is fastened on the conductive wire layer by a conductive glue layer. Therefore, the touch panel of the present invention is thinner, provides better penetrability and costs less than conventional projected capacitive touch panels.

Abstract

A control circuit for a sensing electrode array is described. The control circuit for the sensing electrode array includes a signal intensity analyzer, an intensity-to-phase frequency converter, and a phase frequency analyzing unit. The signal intensity analyzer obtains an intensity signal corresponding to a sensing signal of each sensing line of the sensing electrode array, wherein each intensity signal is a direct-current signal. The intensity-to-phase frequency converter generates a phase frequency signal based on the intensity signal. At least the phase or the frequency of the phase frequency signal is related to the level of the corresponding intensity signal. The phase frequency analyzing unit obtains a signal magnitude of the corresponding sensing line according to each phase frequency signal. The control circuit for the sensing electrode array enhances the operating speed and the signal-to-noise ratio of the touch control sensing system without increasing the manufacturing cost.

Abstract

The present invention provides a capacitive touch sensing device and a scanning method thereof. The present invention divides a scanning procedure of an electrode matrix into two stages. First, it scans broadly for determining whether the potential signal of at least one driving line of the electrode matrix is changed or not. After that, the present invention is only directed to the driving line which the potential signal is changed to scan in detail, to determine whether the potential signal of each coupling node on the driving line is changed or not. Therefore, the present invention can achieve the purpose of improving sensing efficiency of the capacitive touch sensing device.

Abstract

A capacitive touch panel sequentially has a first glass substrate, a lower touch sensitive layer, a lower insulation ink layer, a lower conductor layer, a lower insulation layer, a lower conductive adhesive layer, a flexible circuit board, a transparent insulation adhesive layer, an upper insulation layer, an upper conductive adhesive layer, an upper conductor layer, an upper insulation ink layer, an upper touch sensitive layer and a second glass substrate. The aforementioned structure allows fabrication of the capacitive touch panel to be separated into a lower panel fabrication process and an upper panel fabrication process. The two independent fabrication processes prevent the capacitive touch panel from being damaged in one of the processes when the process is completed so as to increase the yield in production and further facilitate producing large-size touch panel.

Abstract

A single-layer projected capacitive touch panel has a glass cover, a touch sensing circuit layer, an insulating ink layer, a conductive wire layer, an insulator layer, a conductive glue layer and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board. The touch sensing circuit layer, the insulating ink layer, the conductive wire layer, the insulator layer and the conductive glue layer are mounted on a circuit surface of the glass cover in sequence. The insulating ink layer covers the touch sensing circuit layer and has multiple through slots. Each through slot is filled with an electric conductor. The FPC is fastened on the conductive wire layer by a conductive glue layer. Therefore, the touch panel of the present invention is thinner, provides better penetrability and costs less than conventional projected capacitive touch panels.

Abstract

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.
