摘要:
A protective panel 1 having touch panel function is used for protecting a front surface of a display device 60 that is disposed so as to be visually recognized from outside, and the protective panel 1 is fitted in a panel fitting part 52 of a casing provided with an opening 51 such that an outer surface of the protective panel 1 forms a flat plane identical with that of the casing with no gap formed therebetween. The protective panel 1 includes: an upper electrode sheet 20 having a decorative layer 23 and upper electrodes 41 and 42 provided thereon; and a lower electrode sheet 10 having lower electrodes 31 and 32 provided on an upper surface thereof, and the upper electrode sheet 20 and the lower electrode sheet 10 are disposed such that the respective electrodes thereof face with each other. On a lower surface of the upper electrode sheet 20, at a non-electrode part not provided with the upper electrodes 41 and 42, there is provided a height difference adjustment part 45 that has a thickness substantially equal to each of those of the upper electrodes 31 and 32, and the height difference adjustment part 45 is provided such that short circuit is prevented with the upper electrodes 41 and 42 as well as with the lower electrodes 31 and 32.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a touch panel having a press detection function, which makes it possible to suppress degradation of visibility of a display unit of a display device even when mounted on an electronic device, and also to improve a pressure measuring precision. For this purpose, the touch panel of the present invention includes a first substrate, J a second substrate disposed oppose to the first substrate, a pair of electrodes disposed on either one of opposed surfaces of the respective substrates or disposed separately on both of the surfaces, pressure sensitive ink members disposed with a gap from at least one of the pair of electrodes, each of the pressure sensitive ink members having an electrical characteristic varied-by a pressing force applied thereto, and a gap retaining member for bonding the first and second substrates to each other and for retaining a gap between each of the pressure sensitive inks and at least one of the pair of electrodes, wherein the pair of electrodes are disposed in a frame shape along an edge portion of the first or second substrate, and the pressure sensitive ink members are scattered along the edge portion of the first or second substrate so that, when the first or second substrate is deformed upon an application of an external force, at least one of them is made in contact with both of the pair of electrodes so as to make the two electrodes conductive to each other.
摘要:
A protection panel having a touch input function of the analog resistance film method for detecting an X-Y coordinate representing an operated position by a potential gradient based on a touch operation relative to the front substrate 6, in which the back substrate 5 and the front substrate 6 include contacts 5G and 6G, respectively, connected to each other in series on the resistance films 5A and 6A through the routing circuits 5C and 6C to have potential difference, in which the contacts 5G and 6G face each other at a predetermined distance when the back substrate 5 and the front substrate 6 are connected to each other, and in which a switch 12 is provided for detecting, when voltage is applied by the contacts 5G and 6G between the electrodes 5D or 6D of either one of the front substrate 6 and the back substrate 5, whether or not the contacts 5G and 6G are brought into contact with each other based on voltage detected by the electrodes 5D or 6D of the other of the front substrate 6 and the back substrate 5.
