Abstract:
A protection panel has a touch input function of the analog resistance film method which detects X-Y coordinates as an operation position by a potential gradient according to a touch operation on a front surface side substrate (6). A switch (12) is arranged on a rear surface side substrate (5) and a front surface side substrate (6). Contact points (5G, 6G) are connected in series via routed circuits (5C, 6C) to resistance films (5A, 6A) so as to have a potential difference and arranged to oppose to each other at a predetermined distance when the rear surface side substrate (5) is connected to the front surface side substrate (6). When voltage is applied by the contact points (5G, 6G) between a pair of electrodes (5D, 6D) of the rear surface side substrate (5) or the front surface side substrate (6), the switch (12) detects presence/absence of the contact of the contact points (5G, 6G) according to the voltage detected by the other pair of electrodes (6D, 5D).
Abstract:
The sides of a touch panel (42) in which a transparent insulating liquid (5) is sealed in a space formed by adhering an upper electrode film (1) and a lower electrode body (2) at edges thereof are entirely covered with and sealed in an outer package (83, 43, 46, 56, 60, 76, 77, 75) which transparently shows or exposes at least an operation area of the touch panel.
Abstract:
A transparent touch panel is formed so that it has a transparent, flexible, movable electrode film (2), a transparent hard coat layer (1) formed on the upper surface of the movable electrode film, a transparent movable electrode (4) formed on the lower surface of the movable electrode film, a transparent shrinkable resin layer (3) formed between the movable electrode film and movable electrode, correspondingly to the hard coat layer, a fixed electrode support (8) provided below the movable electrode film so as to be opposed thereto, a fixed electrode (7) formed on the upper surface of the fixed electrode support so as to be opposed to the lower surface of the movable electrode film, and spacers (5) formed between the lower surface of the movable electrode beneath the movable electrode film and the upper surface of the fixed electrode on the fixed electrode support.
Abstract:
In a transparent conductive film for use in a transparent touch panel in which a lower electrode (5) and an upper electrode (4) are stacked so as to be spaced from each other by spacers (10), the transparent conductive film being provided on an electrode substrate (14, 15) of at least one of the electrodes and thereby forming the electrode, the transparent conductive film has, in its surface shape, an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) within a range of 0.4 nm ≤ Ra ≤ 4.0 nm and a root-mean-square roughness (Rms) within a range of 0.6 nm ≤ Rms ≤ 3.0 nm.
