Abstract:
There is provided a touch panel capable of obtaining a stable connection resistance without requiring fitting accuracy at the time of the connection to an external terminal, and a protective panel for a display window of an electronic device using the same. The analog type touch panel includes a touch side substrate 2 and a non-touch side substrate 3 each having resistive films 2a, 3a provided on opposed inner surfaces thereof. Through-holes 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d formed at the periphery of the non-touch side substrate 3. A connecting part 5 for electrically connecting electrodes of the resistive films 2a, 3a to an external terminal, in which a conductive paste is injected into the through-holes and a rivet 14 is inserted into each of the through-holes from the lower surface side so that a head of the rivet 14 forms flat connecting electrodes 15a, 15b for connection to the external terminal on the lower surface of the non-touch side substrate 3.
Abstract:
A touch panel device, wherein a side part of a touch panel (42) having an insulating transparent liquid (5) sealed in a space formed by bonding an upper electrode film (1) and a lower electrode body (2) together at their edges is entirely covered with an outer package (83, 43, 46, 56, 60, 76, 77, 75) where at least an operating area of the touch panel is transparent or exposed.
Abstract:
A touch panel assembly, wherein, a touch panel (10) without a reinforcement member is used to reduce the thickness of the touch panel itself, a positioning part for the touch panel (10) is provided on a housing frame (50) integrally supporting the component parts of a front light unit (20) and the touch panel (10) is fixed to complement the strength of the touch panel (10) without the reinforcement member, and the deformation of the touch panel (10)produced when the touch panel (10) is pressingly operated can be reduced by a transparent cushioning member (5) disposed between the touch panel (10) and a plate-like light conductive body (22), whereby the function of the plate-like light conductive body (22) can be prevented from being lowered by the contact of the deformed touch panel (10) with the plate-like light conductive body (22) giving a damage to the plate-like light conductive body (22), and a reduction in the size of the touch panel assembly and the number of parts can be promoted without impairing the function thereof.
Abstract:
An installation structure of electronic paper and a resistive film type touch panel, includes electronic paper (1), a resistive film type touch panel (2) disposed on a back surface side of the electronic paper, and a multitude of protrusions (3) that are disposed between the electronic paper and the resistive film type touch panel, and that are fixed to at least one of the electronic paper and the resistive film type touch panel.
