TOUCH PANEL CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING FINGERPRINT

摘要

A touch panel capable of identifying fingerprints includes a glass substrate, an electrode layer, a first and a second insulating layer, and a fingerprint identification sensing layer. The glass substrate has a first side and an opposite second side. The electrode layer is disposed on the second side, and has a plurality of first electrodes, second electrodes and metal trace lines electrically connected to the first and second electrodes. The first insulating layer fills spaces existing between the first and the second electrodes, whereas the second insulating layer covers the electrode layer. The fingerprint identification sensing layer is provided on the second insulating layer, and has a plurality of fingerprint identification chips and transmission conductors electrically connected to the fingerprint identification chips. By integrating the fingerprint identification chips into the touch panel, the touch panel can be produced at largely reduced manufacturing cost and provides upgraded fingerprint identification accuracy.
