TOUCH SCREEN MODULE CAPABLE OF TOUCH OF UPPER SURFACE AND SIDE SURFACE AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A touch screen module of which the upper surface and side surface can be touched comprises: a touch sensor having an insulator layer consisting of an organic insulator or an inorganic insulator, a plurality of electrostatic electrodes, which are formed the upper surface of the insulator layer, correspond to a window area, and are spaced apart at intervals of a predetermined distance, and a plurality of metal lines in a boundary area, except for the window area connected to one end of each electrostatic electrode; and a touch switch unit for forming on the same layer, a sensing electrode (receive, R_x), which extends and protrudes outward from the boundary of the touch sensor, is folded and attached in the lateral direction of the touch sensor with respect to the upper surface of the touch sensor, and senses whether or not the side surface of the touch sensor is touched and a touch position by using changes in a voltage value, and a driving electrode (transfer, T_x), to which a driving voltage of the touch sensor is applied, and performing a side touch function of the touch sensor.
