Abstract:
In a touch panel (8) with a film/glass structure, a transparent insulating film (11) of an upper electrode member (1) has a sloped edge (11a) in its entire periphery with the slope facing up. In a touch panel (8A) with a film/film structure, a transparent insulating film (11) of an upper electrode member (1) and a transparent insulating film (22) of a lower electrode member (2) respectively have a sloped edge (11a, 22a) in their entire peripheries with the slope facing up.
Abstract:
A transparent touch panel (1) comprises an upper optical phase film (4) having a movable electrode portion (3) and capable of giving a phase delay of 1/4 wavelength to incident light with its centre frequency in the visible region, and a lower optical phase film (6) having a fixed electrode portion (5) and capable of giving a phase delay of 1/4 wavelength to incident light with its centre frequency in the visible region, the upper and lower films being separated by an empty layer (7). An upper polarizer (8) is attached to the upper surface of the touch panel (1), while a lower polarizer (9) is attached to the lower surface of a liquid crystal display (2). The optical axis of the upper film and the polarization axis of the upper polarizers make an angle of about 45 degrees. The angle of the axis of polarization of light emitted from the liquid crystal display is about 45 degrees with respect to the optical axis of the lower film. The optical axes of the upper and lower films make an angle of about 90 degrees.
Abstract:
A resistive film touch panel (8) wherein an upper electrode sheet (1) having an upper electrode (111) on one face of a flexible transparent film (9) and a hard coating layer (12) on the other face and a lower electrode sheet (2) having a lower electrode (121) confronting the upper electrode on one face of a glass substrate (10) are opposed to each other through a spacer (13) between the upper and lower electrodes and the upper and lower electrodes are bonded at their peripheries with an adhesive layer (3). The transparent film and the hard coating layer are fused at their edge portions, and a surface portion of the side edge face of the glass substrate is a compressive stress layer (10a).
